I cant recommend PJ at Fits and Stops Photography enough! His website is great because it gives all the info you need right there AND you can book online. PJ does a great job at making even the most camera shy person feel comfortable and at ease. He is so friendly, genuinely nice, and easy to work with that the whole experience is very enjoyable. He edits photos quickly, and his pricing is very reasonable for incredibly high quality images. Weve hired him twice (maternity and family sessions) and really loved all our photos in both sessions. We have recommended PJ to numerous people, and

My husband and I used PJ for both our engagement and wedding photos. Not only was he professional and responsive to all emails, inquiries and questions, he was friendly and funny to make the days fun. PJ really has an eye for making our day special and creating a story through photos to remember the day. I'm so glad we now have those photos to cherish forever. Would highly recommend PJ and his team for anything photo related! A big plus for us, PJ is bilingual too!

Most importantly, his photos are beautiful and I am always amazed with his speedy turnaround! I would absolutely recommend Fits and Stops Photography!

We love PJ, and have loved getting to know him through our wedding planning process. We now consider him a friend! When we initially started interviewing photographers, my now-husband fell in love with PJ's personality and style almost instantly (I wish I could say that is how he fell in love with me....).PJ shoots with natural lighting so beautifully and upon speaking with him over the phone...we knew he was the right fit for us. We first met PJ in person when we did our engagement shoot in September 2019. He instantly made us feel comfortable and at ease. Our photos turned our natural and were
