Hello, my name is Jay.
I started my business in 2001. I love to capture moments in time that can be cherished for years to come ( The memories may fade, but the images will last forever ) To me, being a professional photographer is looking into the lens and capturing the beauty on the other side.

Jay and Lauren did my bridal portraits and our wedding day. They are the most stunning photos we have ever received! He has such a calming and bubbly energy and made me feel so comfortable.

Dallas
I contacted Jay to take couple photos of me and my wife so that we can announce our elopement. It was kind of my first time taking professional photos so I was a little bit nervous but he was great. When Jay reached out to me, I could tell we were in good hands. Not only did he explain everything and answer all the silly questions I had, but he made the whole process seamless and stress-free, which was exactly what we needed. We took our pictures at the Botanical Garden and after meeting him we felt very comfortable. We are typically a little awkward with pictures, but he helped a lot by telling us what to do and how to pose. The photos turned out so beautiful and Jay got our raw emotion, love, and connection in them. We can't stop looking at them and will be forever grateful. I highly recommend Jay. You’ll be in amazing hands. More...

Jay did an amazing job! He not only captured our engagement but played a vital role in planning. He was a huge help as I did not live in the area. I was sneaking into town to surprise my girlfriend and Jay helped me pull the off the big surprise. The photos turned out amazing. He even got them done and sent to us on the same day. Highly recommend him he was easy to get a hold of and made himself available to me leading up to the big day! More...

Kelley
Event & Party Photography
As a photographer myself, it can be tough to find someone I trust to capture my own photos. Jay is definitely one such photographer! In fact, he not only captures images that I love, he also inspires me to become a better photographer. He’s constantly pursuing more and tougher certifications, degrees, and additional training to make sure he’s always at the top of his game. I have even referred multiple of my own clients to Jay as well over the years, knowing that they’re in excellent hands. Whether you’re a client looking for a photographer or a photographer looking for professional education, you can’t do better than Jay. More...
Brook
Sports Photography
Jay was more than patient when it came to scheduling for us. Many things continued to come up requiring us to R/S and he was beyond understanding. When we finally got to work with Jay he knew exactly how to keep our kids focused and eager to participate in the shoot. When we finally saw the end results it was so worth every bit of what it took for a family of 10 to get it done. If you’re looking for the best you found him. I highly recommend Jay Knight Photography! More...
Tina
Wedding Photography
Jay has photographed our family several times and each session he’s captured the most beautiful, authentic, moments. When I look back on the pictures, I remember so much about my kids and our life at those moments because Jay incorporates so much of our real life into the shoot. He is extremely professional, good-natured and easy to work with. Highly recommend! More...
Susan
Wedding Photography
We've used Jay several times now and every time he exceeds our expectations. Our pictures truly turned out amazing. The latest session Jay did for us was chaos with our newborn and two toddlers and of course they turned out spectacular. My 4 year old had so much fun with him he's asking for Jay to come over and take pictures again, which is huge for him. Seriously. Not only are the pictures gorgeous and he’s fun to be around, he’s so thoughtful with our family. We had an unexpected death that hit us hard and Jay was incredibly generous. I can't explain how much we all loved him even more. I'm so grateful we found Jay. More...

Excellent experience! I've watched this photography business flourish over the last few years and was impressed with their work so I used them for our sons college graduation pictures. They did not disappoint! We had so much fun with the session at the SMU Campus and Jay was so amazing he got my son to smile and enjoy himself while doing it. Allowing him to have imput was huge. Thank you so much for these memories. I highly recommend Jay Knight Photography! More...
David
Jay Knight Photography was amazing to work with for an event I held at the University. Everyone on the team was determined to help me create a successful event, especially Jay who helped me make the arrangements and had great advice. I held an event on campus and after the event Jay was there to take professional headshots of the students. He was wonderful, had great communication, arrived early, took photos during the presentation and everyone felt at ease with him, due to his excellent warm personality. I look forward to an opportunity to use this company again for future events, and I honestly can't recommend them strongly enough. If you are looking to get a professional headshot, or want to host a large event on location, do yourself a favor and go with Jay Knight Photography. They made the process easy, fun, and very successful! More...

Truly a mastermind behind the lens, I can't wait to shoot again ASAP!!! Highly reccomend him!! More...
Savana
Jay is a phenomenal photographer. I came to him with a somewhat ambiguous idea for a shoot and he provided a lot of insight which added clarity to the project. He produced the final images within a very short time frame and they came out better than I could have imagined. Jay is by far the best photographer in Dallas and I would recommend him to anyone!

Malia
General Photography
If you need a photographer, Jay is the one to hire. From the moment I booked my appointment, he was on it. Jay finalized and thought of every little detail from wardrobe, lighting, music, and bites all to ensure I had the best shoot possible. He was professional, friendly, on time, and thoughtful. I was nervous, but Jay put me at ease and made the whole process comfortable and fun!! Now let’s talk about the GORGEOUS headshots he took. I am talking the best I’ve ever looked! He is a truly talented photographer, and does amazing work. By far, the best experience I have ever had with a photographer! More...

Cathrine
My experience with Jay Knight Photography was nothing short of amazing! I was very impressed with the process from the consultation to the presentation. During the actual shoot, I felt comfortable and I was walked through every shot with intricate detail. I can be a very shy person but during the shoot I was not shy and was having tons of fun. Also, the whole process is extremely organized. Jay really is a true professional and makes sure that you're taken care of from beginning to end. I hadn't done a photoshoot in a while, and I did a branding shoot for my business. The pictures turned out amazing! Jay really captured my personality that I wanted to convey when using these photos for business marketing. I absolutely love the full service he offers of putting together a photo album with your photos, or even if you want wall art. Jay is very organized, detailed and I can tell that he has been doing this for a long time, his experience shows! More...
Kate

They were very professional and I plan to use them for future events and any other photography needs we will need in the future. I highly recommend Jay Knight Photography!!! More...
Cindy
Where do I start?! I can easily sum this up in one word... Outstanding! But there is so much more to be said! When I first set out to find "The" right photographer for my son and future daughter-in-law's wedding, I spent hours and hours searching on the internet across the entire North Texas region. Being a photographer myself, I am extremely picky and critical when it comes to photography and I knew it was not going to be easy to find the right one. I talked to friends and other photographers as well to get their thoughts and recommendations. When I first saw Jays work, I was pretty sure that I had found what I was looking for. Clear and sharp photos with a good balance of Artistic, Traditional, and Journalistic styles. It was obvious to me that he knew how to capture the very heart and soul of a wedding and deliver that in his photos. After meeting with Jay I made the decision to hire him for Cameron and Kenzie's day and knew I had made the right choice from the start! Jay and Kelly make an incredible team and their work is awesome and speaks for itself! They are a pleasure to work with and I would have no reservations at all in highly recommending them to anyone. Very professional, they know what they are doing, and their work is simply outstanding! Thank you both for doing such an incredible job in capturing all of the special moments on Cameron and Kenzie's special day! More...
Tammy
Jay and Lauren photographed my wedding, they did a FANTASTIC job! They got amazing candid shots that really showed how much our wedding was and also great posed shots. We are so pleased with how everything turned out! Thank you both! More...
Gina
Jay and Kelly just did my wedding. They also were the ones who did my engagement and bridals. Which turned out so great!
They worked so well for me because on my wedding day Kelly would work with me and my girls and Jay worked with the guys. They are full of personality and so incredibly sweet. I heard nothing but good things about them on my wedding day! I can't wait to see the beautiful pictures that they took that day.
I also plan on using them throughout the special moments in our lives for photo shoots (maternity, newborn, family). I recommned them to anyone looking for a great photographer!

Tina
Jay Knight Photography is absolutely great. My wife and I could not be more pleased with their service, professionalism, prices and products. . We have used them for several sessions and it is always a great experience and outcome. I have been involved in several weddings etc in the past and have seen multiple photographers and how they operate. Jay is heads and shoulders above any of the others I have ever experienced. They don't feel like outsiders taking pictures, they feel like friends capturing your best moments. More...
What’s the secret to taking a great photograph?
To me, It's about finding something interesting in an ordinary place. I've found it has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them.
What questions might you ask a client when starting a new project?
How did you hear about us?
What are your expectations?
How do you prefer to be contacted?
Who is the primary contact person?
What is your timeline?
When are the images needed by?
What do you love most about your job?
I love being able to capture moments in time and deliver images to my clients to serve as a memory to them for years to come.
What inspired you to start your own business?
What inspires my photography most is the world around me. I suppose that’s a pretty vague and general answer. However, consider that every day we walk by hundreds of potential subject matters that could be turned into an amazing photograph. Most of the time we just walk on by about our business without giving much notice to the scenes around us. However, if you pay attention, slow down, take in your environment, look at something in a unique way and maybe direct a bit, you have a chance to ultimately capture or create an amazing story in a single frame. Creating a photograph that evokes a feeling, emotion, or a response from a viewer is what drives and inspires me. The world is full of stories to tell. Inspiration is all around us.
Why should our clients choose you?

We will take time to work with you to capture your vision and meet expectations no matter how big or small. We will walk with you every step of the way to gain and maintain the trust you have placed in us and our abilities.
