About
Hi! My name is Jay, owner and lead photographer/videographer of portsbyjay. I have been a photographer/videographer for the better half of two decades. I started HYLO Events (wedding, engagement, events photography) in 2013, and portsbyjay as my boudoir brand back in 2019; and have also worked closely with some of the top wedding studios, and established brands in the automotive industry. My passion is creating artistic visuals primarily using natural light, but have extensive knowledge with off camera flash. I primarily shoot with the Sony ecosystem, and currently am using the A7IV/A7RIII for photos, and the A7SIII for video. I do all the editing and retouching myself (disclaimer: I am not a master retoucher), which gives me a more expansive view on what could be improved on during the photoshoot phase. I do have a bit of a type-A personality, so I pay particular attention to the details, especially for weddings! I compose myself with a fun, yet professional manner at all times (doesn't matter the circumstances). Working boudoir and weddings for numerous years has really taught me about professionalism and a committed work ethic. With that said, I can't wait to hear about your project!

Jay was a very professional photographer that I was lucky to find on thumbtack. He was very responsive, professional and took amazing pictures of our wedding. We were very happy with his work and would recommend him to anyone who is looking for a photographer to capture their memories.

I’m very glad I went with Jay, it started with a surprise proposal photo shoot, engagement party, and our marriage celebrations. He did an awesome job with everything from showing up on time to dealing with guests at the celebrations. Can’t wait to work with him again!
