Jay Design Photography

Jay Design Photography is a family-run studio based in Martinez, just outside Augusta, led by owner Jay, who describes herself as ‘the woman behind the camera’ with a deep passion for weddings, family portraits, and maternity sessions. The studio has earned a perfect 5.0 rating across 10 Google reviews, with repeat clients specifically praising photographers Trish and Jalisia, who both shoot under the Jay Design name, for exceeding expectations across engagement, wedding, and family sessions for the same families over multiple years. What sets Jay Design apart in the Augusta market is its added rental offerings: alongside traditional wedding photography, the studio operates Lucy Mae, a vintage-style photo camper, and the JDP Modern Photo Booth, giving couples the option to add a nostalgic or contemporary photo-booth experience to their reception. Jay’s stated approach centers on creating a warm, comfortable session where natural, heartfelt moments can come through rather than stiff, forced posing, with a goal of preserving ‘the love, joy, and growth’ of major family milestones. Reviewers describe sessions as classy and professional with a personal touch, and several have returned to Jay Design across multiple milestones — engagement photos, then a wedding, then a growing family — suggesting a studio that builds long-term relationships with the couples it works with. For Augusta-area couples who want wedding coverage paired with a unique photo-booth option for the reception, Jay Design Photography is worth a look.
