About

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 has such an artistic eye for maximizing the use of elements in any environment as well as providing fun extras like colored lights, powders and smoke bombs. He’s personable and easy to work with and ensures you’re satisfied with the variety of shots he’s taken before ending the session.

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...

I hired Jay & Lauren to take photos at a grand opening event. We called Jay the day of the event and he fit us into their schedule! 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...

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...

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...

19 December 2023

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!

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...

Jay and Kelly are amazing! We did an engagement shoot with them at White Rock Lake and the pictures came out perfect! They had a zillion ideas when we didn't know what to do and were extremely helpful and professional. We also got our entire gallery back in less than a week, which amazed me! Use them! More...

We were so lucky to have Jay Knight Photography photograph our wedding. Jay and Kelly are top notch photographers who not only have an incredible eye for amazing photos, but are also extremely friendly, attentive, and organized in the face of wedding day chaos. I'm blown away by how many high quality pictures we received. There were hundreds! Jay and Kelly bring a passion to this work that you can tell translates into an admirable work ethic. There was never a moment where I didn't feel like there weren't working hard to deliver the best photos for our big day.

I was lucky enough to have Jay and Kelly shoot at our wedding last month, and I couldn't have picked anyone better if I tried. We just received our pictures and they are BEAUTIFUL! They were so easy to work with and work so well together that we basically got two photographers for the price of one. I have zero complaints, and I will continue to use Jay Knight Photography for any future photography needs. Do not hesitate...BOOK THEM NOW!

Totally pleased with the beautiful pictures that Jay and Kelly took for our wedding. He truly listened to the things we desired and worked hard to put us in the right location both indoors and out with the right lighting and recommendations on how to put us all together. He truly worked hard to put our new family in all the right places to take the best pictures!

We had a great expericance with Jay and Kelly, It was really important for us to have two photographers capture our wedding. Jay really worked with our budget and took some amazing photos. This was not his first rodeo, he directed our wedding party effectively and you can see that he is a perfectionist. Jay really wanted to capture the best photos possible. We were lucky to have been able to hire him for our wedding. More...

Jay and Lauren are fantastic! We use them for our Gentle Creek Life Magazine and have loved their work. So, I asked if they'd have an opening to do both our son's [on-location] senior and family pictures, and my daughter's formal doctoral portraits. They worked with us on timing and location; they knew what locations made for the best backdrops. The pictures were all stunning; Lauren certainly knows how to frame her shots so that the subject(s) are the focus, but that the framing has interest! Furthermore, Jay met with us afterwards to review the pictures, did the retouching, sent us the retouched proofs, and did a spectacular job keeping us all looking natural while still fixing the blemishes and shadowing issues perfectly.

Jay and Lauren took pictures at our wedding in June . I have to say, they have a lot of talent!

Jay and his assistants Kelly and Lauren’s work is absolutely incredible! We first met up with him at a Starbucks to go over details, see if we were interested. The whole time felt like we were visiting with a friend. He is so funny and smart and we hit it off immediately. My husband and I already decided before we made it to the car! We text him right then and said ‘ok you’re it!’ Jay kept in contact, took all my crazy ideas and pictures I flooded his email with and listened to me vent about any areas I was worried about. Our conversations ended, every time, with me feeling much more calm. Day of he was amazing. Let me know he was there, had my list of shots I wanted and helped us have such a fun easy day. After getting our pictures, he and his team were like ninjas!! He got everything I told him I wanted and also shots that, since the wedding, I was hoping I’d get! There is not one ounce of disappointment regarding anything he did! I want to get married every year now. Lol Thank you!! More...

If I could give a million stars I would, Jay is absolutely amazing. I am blown away with how my bridal and wedding photos turned out. From our very first phone call discussing his packages, to the day of the wedding, to the delivery of my photos it has been the best experience imaginable. Jay goes above and beyond on everything he does, not only does he take the best photos ever he really puts his heart into his work. The day of the wedding Jay helped so much with things even besides photos. The day went by so much better with him there. He is fun and outgoing and his energy is fantastic to have around.

Jay was our wedding photographer. We could not be more happy with the service that Jay and his associates provided for us. We met and booked him about a year before our big day. We truly got to know him! He made sure everything went off without a hitch. He didn’t bombard my husband and I in any way during our special night. He simply let us enjoy ourselves, but still managed to get every shot we asked for and even more.
I would highly recommend Jay to anyone looking to have photos taken, you won’t be disappointed!

Jay is amazing, I wish I had a better word to describe his talent and professionalism. Jay’s creativity and fresh ideas set him apart. He is magnificent with children, my daughter can be difficult to pose and smile but Jay blew me out of the water. He is a pleasure to work with. His passion for photography is evident from the moment you first meet him. Getting professional photographs can be stressful for moms (or at least for me) Jay takes the stress out of it with wardrobe suggestions, open communication and his calming demeanor. I know he will get my children to smile even if they aren’t in the best of moods for me. I can not wait to see what he creates next for our family. More...

My husband gave me a set of boudoir photos for my birthday and tasked me with picking the photographer. First of all, Jay’s artistic touch is fantastic. Second his prices are very transparent - many other places we looked at were pretty vague with their prices. On the day of the shoot we had a great makeup artist (Kristy) that Jay recommended and she did a wonderful job. Jay was meticulous in his composure and let us pick any pose we wanted. Would not hesitate to recommend him. The pictures turned out amazing!! I can’t wait to get with Jay and shoot more. He made me feel comfortable and was so patient with me. More...

You can now stop searching for a photographer because you've found Jay Knight Photography. I discovered them online one day while researching photographers to shoot our engagement photos and wedding day. Initially, the style and quality of Jay’s work is what put him at the top of my list, but after meeting with Jay and his assistant I knew they had to shoot our wedding! Jay and Lauren are very sweet and professional, and it is obvious how much they care about capturing your special day and your special moments. They offer a variety of packages and services, so it is pretty easy to find one that suits your budget. Since my wedding is next fall, so far we have only had an engagement session with Jay. We just got the photos from this shoot and they more than met my expectations! Plus, we had so much fun with Jay during the shoot that day. He is easy and comfortable to work with, and knows how to take advantage of a setting to get the perfect shot! Our final photos are AMAZING! I am really looking forward to my bridal session and our wedding day, because I know they will continue to deliver such excellent work. Jay and Lauren are wonderful photographers and wonderful people. They are transparent with their business and very easy to get to know and trust. I am extremely happy we chose to work with them.

Words can't express how much I love and appreciate Jay, Lauren and Kelly for making my wedding day the happiest and most memorable day of my life. They went above and beyond in every way imaginable. I honestly don't think they could have done a better job. They were extremely organized and always made themselves readily available for any questions I had (and trust me I had A LOT of questions). They were the glue that held my wedding day together. They worked seamlessly with my wedding coordinators and my hostess to make sure that everything ran smoothly. All of my wedding guests kept saying how amazing the photographers were and I am so thankful for everything they did for us on our big day and all of the days leading up to it. They are three of the nicest most professional people I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. In my opinion, there's no competing with Jay Knight Photography. It will be the best choice you make in your wedding planning process! More...

Jay Knight Photography really made our lives so easy. From the second we began talking to Jay to when the night was over they were nothing but helpful. Jay helped us with every single detail and was always there to offer additional tips for us to consider. His assistants Lauren and Kelly were amazing. We even changed part of our itinerary that we had given them (driving to a completely different location for 5 pictures) and they thought it was a great idea and even got there before us to begin testing out the lighting. They were incredibly friendly during the wedding and got wonderful photos throughout the night. Following the wedding we received a sneak peak about 2 weeks after and were amazed by the photos. Once all the photos were available there wasn't a single one we didn't like.
I would highly recommend them to anyone!

Q&As

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.

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?


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 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.

My commitment to my customers

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.
