About FJ photography by Faris Jawher
Faris Jawher
I'm Faris Jawher, the photographer behind FJ Photography in San Diego. I photograph weddings, engagements, and celebrations across San Diego County — and travel worldwide — in a classic, editorial, fine-art style. My couples get photography and cinematic film from one team, with calm direction on the day and honest storytelling: the real moments, not just the posed ones. Consultations are by appointment — I'd love to hear about your day.
Photo and film, one team. Most couples have to hire — and coordinate — a photographer and a videographer separately. With FJ Photography it's one crew with one eye for your story, so nothing gets missed and nothing is staged twice. Add a classic, editorial, fine-art style that won't look dated in 20 years, a passion for the candid in-between moments, and a photographer who stays calm and keeps your day running on time — that's the FJ difference.

Cookie Business Photography
Faris is a very organized and professional photographer. I called him to book a photography session for my new cookie business. He was very flexible with the scheduling process and was willing to meet with me and talk with me over the phone to go over my ideas and details that I had in mind. On the day of the photoshoot, he was VERY PATIENT and wanted to capture each detail perfectly as he was also showing me the pictures he was getting to make sure it matched my vision and that I was satisfied with the final product. The pictures and the videos he captured turned out even better than what I had imagined!! All of my friends and clients commented on the professional photos and videos, saying they almost looked “unreal”. Thank you soo much!! I do really recommend him as he is very professional, talented, organized, and always shows up on time.
Faris Jawher•Oct 23, 2026Lourdes, thank you so much for this — it truly means a lot to me! Starting a new business takes so much work, and I wanted your photos and videos to do your cookies justice — that's why I loved talking through your ideas first, and showing you the shots as we went, so we knew together that everything matched your vision before we wrapped. Hearing that they turned out even better than you imagined, and that your friends and clients are loving them, is the best feedback I could ask for. Thank you for trusting me with such an important launch for your business. I wish you so much success with it, and I hope we get to work together again as it grows! — Faris

Amazing Photographer and Experience!
I had such an amazing experience with Faris, he took my graduation photos and they turned out absolutely beautiful!! He was so kind and professional and made the whole experience really enjoyable. He took the time to ask what kind of shots I wanted and made sure to capture everything I had in mind. I was also so impressed with how quickly he got the photos back to me. He even asked if there were any edits I wanted or any preferences I had to make sure I was happy with everything! I absolutely loved how all the pictures turned out and would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a great photographer!!
Faris Jawher•Oct 23, 2026Nadeen, thank you so much for this — it truly means a lot to me! Graduation is such a big milestone, and I wanted your photos to feel exactly like you imagined them — that's why I always like to ask what shots matter most to you before we start, and check in on edits afterward, so you're genuinely happy with every single one. Hearing that you loved how they turned out, and how quickly you got them back, is the best feedback I could ask for. Thank you for trusting me with such an important moment, and for recommending me so warmly. I hope we get to work together again soon! — Faris
