This review is based solely on email interactions, I did not end up using Jack Ip as my photographer.
Due to budget constraints I was looking for a photographer in the $600-800 range. Jack initially responded to my inquiry saying that he could shoot my wedding for 2 hrs for $600 and suggested that we arrange a time to meet in person. I emailed him back and then after several days received a reply stating that he would get back to me in a few days, then six days later received an email saying that "something came up" and that he wouldn't be able to meet in the coming few weeks and that he'd get back to me, but that I should go ahead and contact another photographer if I had one in mind. ?!?
This whole exchange struck me as vaguely rude, and very unprofessional and did not encourage me to give my money to Jack. Upon doing further exploring for photographers (there are a ton listed on Craigslist) I found several people that were willing to shoot my wedding for 4-to-unlimited hours for $800, which is a much better deal. I think most places will lower their rates if they don't have anything booked for that day already, FYI.




I felt really lucky to work with Jack for our wedding! And it wasn't just because I've known him since high school, when he used to help me with calculus, either. Jack's an amazing photographer who has a great eye and a great style that really fit in with the vision we had for our wedding. He's also an awesome guy who's really easy to work with and who takes his work to heart. I was so excited in the months leading up to the wedding because I got to see so much wonderful work coming from him. On the day of the wedding, he gave us lots of tips on what helps for photos (like taking a moment before sliding the ring all the way on so that we can get that moment captured), worked with our must-take photo list, and put everyone at ease -- even my mom, who's afraid of having her photos taken! We were *so* happy with the results, and were also really pleasantly surprised at how many little moments were captured when we weren't even aware that he was there at the time! Looking through them was really like re-living the entire day again, and I *highly* recommend him to everyone.
