I had my engagement shoot with Jay last week and it was such a vibe!! Our photos came out so beautiful that it made it so hard to pick our save the dates (what a horrible issue) 😅
If you needed the sign to make the investment- this is it!!
Might I add that Addie was very quick in the email responses and thorough! Xo

Jay and Kyle shot for my wedding this month and did an incredible job! They made us feel comfortable the entire time. We added on the Polaroid photos and love how they came out. We got our sneak peeks a week after and they’re incredible. Jay’s vision is so beautiful. We would totally recommend using Jay and her team on your special day :) thank you so so much!

Jay and the Dekony Visuals team was on our short list of dream vendors and we couldn’t be more happy that we had the opportunity to work with them on our wedding day. Every point of contact with the team was professional, communicative and positive. In our consultation and follow up calls, the team truly listened and made sure to really deliver what we envisioned for our day. A huge thank you to Jay, Addie and Kyle for capturing our big day with their creative eyes, and for helping us tell our love story in a way that we will cherish forever.

I am so lucky to have found Jay, Addie, and Kyle for our surprise proposal and engagement shoot in NYC! Their professionalism and warmth made the entire experience so smooth. As I was visiting from California, I was nervous about the chaos in the city, but thanks to careful planning and communication, the proposal was captured perfectly by Dekony Visuals. They were incredibly accommodating, working around my schedule and navigating rainy weather to ensure everything went flawlessly. For our engagement shoot in Central Park a couple days later, their experience shone through—their creative direction was impressive while making us feel completely at ease during cold, rainy weather. We’ll be cherishing these photos forever. I would highly recommend this team to anyone looking for a photographer in NY.

Working with Jay and her team was an absolute dream! From the moment I reached out, Addie was so sweet and helpful with every little detail. We had a Zoom call before the wedding to go over the plan, and it really helped me feel confident about my vision and how the day would flow. When the big day came, Jay and Kyle were amazing. Both of them were so supportive, professional, and honestly just fun to be around! It truly felt like we were hanging out with friends who happened to be capturing everything. I’m not usually super comfortable in front of a camera, but they made it all feel so natural. I would 100% work with them again and can’t recommend them enough! Thank you guys!

I wish I could give a 10 star review. Jay and her team made our wedding day and every day leading it up to it an absolute joy. Addie was so responsive to every question and detail leading up to our wedding and Jay was a pleasure throughout our whole day of video and photography. We couldn't have been happier and cannot wait to see all the moments captured by Jay and her team. 10/10 would recommend

We just received our engagement photos from our shoot at the Beekman Hotel and we are absolutely in love with them. Jay was such a pleasure to work with and made the entire experience fun, comfortable, and effortless. Her energy and guidance really brought out the best moments, and the photos turned out stunning. So grateful to have worked with her and highly recommend her.
