The team at J.Powers at the Hilton are incredible in every way. Their communication is quick, thorough and efficient, and the quality of their work is exceptional, top-notch and classy. As wedding photographers, we have seen the staff assist in changing a wedding timeline on the fly and flawlessly, and also calm nerves like no other, which makes the wedding day infinitely better for all involved. When someone reaches out to us for wedding photography and has J.Powers at the Hilton as their vendor, we rest easy knowing the wedding will go off perfectly. The staff throughout the years is efficient with communication, personable and considerate throughout all interactions, and exhibits a professionalism on the highest level in our industry. We are honored to work with them!
