About JR Media Solutions

JR Media Solutions

Photo & Video

Hi, I’m Rafael, the owner and creative behind JR Media Solutions. I believe wedding days should feel calm, joyful, and fully lived not rushed or staged. While I’m new to Zola, I’ve spent years photographing and filming weddings across Connecticut and beyond, earning over 100 five-star reviews by being dependable, organized, and genuinely invested in my couples. My approach is simple: show up prepared, stay present, and document your day honestly so you can relive it for years to come.

What sets me apart is my ability to read the room. I don’t interrupt or over-direct, but I do know when gentle guidance helps people feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera. I create a relaxed environment where couples and their loved ones can be themselves, while still stepping in with clear direction when it matters. The result is imagery that feels natural, authentic, and thoughtfully captured without ever feeling forced.

    Do not recommend

    We hired Rafael (JR Media Solutions) for our June 22, 2026 wedding and unfortunately can't recommend him. Before the wedding: We sent our shot list on May 27 — over three weeks out — and followed up several times on Zola trying to get confirmation. He didn't review or approve it until June 19, the Friday before our Monday wedding. That same week, we also had to catch two contract discrepancies ourselves: he initially told us our coverage was 5 hours when our signed contract said 6, and he quoted the wrong price for the extra hour. Both were only fixed after we pointed him back to the contract. After the wedding: Our contract required delivery within 4–6 weeks. He confirmed by email twice (July 16 and July 30) that the gallery was done and would be sent within days — both times it wasn't, and we didn't get a working link until August 3, after the deadline had already passed. Once we could review the photos, we found real editing errors: several images had eye color altered to blue on people who don't have blue eyes, and some photos we wanted in color were only delivered in black-and-white. We sent him a specific list on August 5. He acknowledged the issues but said he couldn't give a timeline. We then asked for just the original unedited files for that short list of photos as a compromise — that was August 14, and we still haven't gotten a yes or no answer more than two weeks later. These are our wedding photos, and they can't be redone. Between the pre-wedding delays, the contract errors, and unresolved issues since, this wasn't the experience we hoped for. We do not recommend him and be wary if you consider him. Despite what he may reply to this review, please know that this review is factual.

    Thank you for sharing your feedback. While I respect every client’s right to discuss their experience, I believe important context is missing from this review and would like to clarify the record for prospective clients. JR Media Solutions photographed your wedding and delivered a completed gallery containing well over 368 edited images. Following delivery, images from the gallery were also shared publicly on social media, JR Media Solutions was tagged, and positive feedback was expressed regarding the photographs. I appreciate that the images were enjoyed and shared, which is why I believe it is important to distinguish concerns regarding a small number of specific edits from the overall wedding gallery that was delivered. I have acknowledged that delivery and communication took longer than anticipated. During this period, I experienced significant computer hardware issues that affected my ability to access and complete portions of my workflow. This was an unexpected technical issue, not an abandonment of your wedding or refusal to provide the contracted photography services. Regarding the specific editing concerns raised afterward, I acknowledged them. However, the signed agreement does not provide for unlimited revisions or require the delivery of RAW/unedited files. The subsequent request for original unedited files was therefore outside the contracted deliverables and should not be represented as something that remained contractually owed. There were also circumstances on the wedding day, including the event running approximately one hour behind schedule, that required adjustments while I continued providing coverage. I take responsibility for the fact that communication could have been faster while I was dealing with the equipment failure. At the same time, I respectfully disagree with a characterization that suggests the photography service itself was not provided or that the delivered work was broadly unacceptable. The wedding was photographed, hundreds of edited images were delivered, and photographs from that gallery were subsequently used and positively shared publicly. JR Media Solutions takes both its contractual obligations and its reputation seriously. I wish you both the best and stand behind the work that was provided.

    Beautiful Wedding Photos

    I would 1000% recommend JR media. He took out court house wedding photos and they were so beautiful. We would definetly book him again in the future. He was prompt, easy to work with, gave us directions which we loved, and made this special moment extra special. Don’t think twice about it just book. The photos were very clear. I uploaded some to Zola. I hope Zola doesn’t diminish the quality but the photos was on point and great quality camera.

    Amazing Wedding Photographer

    Rafael was absolutely a pleasure to work with. I was looking for a photographer for months due to cost and when I found Rafael I felt like a weight lifted off my shoulders. On my wedding day Rafael showed up to my venue early to ensure he was ready to go and blended into our event perfectly. My husband and I were shocked with how many natural photos we had of our beautiful day because after we finished our posed photos we barely noticed him taking photos! Rafael is just great at what he does and I cant be more thankful for his spectacular work on our most important day!! 10 out of 10 recommend booking with him. You wont regret it.

    Engagement photos!

    My fiancé and I were so nervous going into our engagement photos, but we were incredibly lucky to find Rafael. From the moment we started, he made the entire experience feel fun, comfortable, and effortless. He has such a natural way of guiding you through poses and moments that gently push you out of your comfort zone while still feeling completely authentic. When we received our photos, everyone we shared them with was absolutely blown away by how beautiful they turned out. Rafael is truly so talented. Booking him as our wedding photographer shortly after our engagement session wasn’t even a question. We wouldn’t want anyone else capturing our special day! He is incredibly accommodating, easy to work with, and genuinely listens to your ideas and vision. He made us feel supported every step of the way. We can’t recommend Rafael enough!

    Great!

    Attentive, clear, and patient communication style. They went above and beyond to help us create a detailed wedding day timeline, ensuring every important moment was captured. On the day of our wedding, they arrived with a positive attitude and captured every special moment we wanted. Grateful to Rafael and his wife for capturing our special day.
