About JR Media Solutions
JR Media Solutions
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.

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.

Very disappointed
At first we enjoyed working with him but we are very disappointed in the end product we received and the lack of communication. We got married 10/31/2025 yet haven’t received our final gallery, he has them in a folder labeled sorting and just left it for us to go through and some photos aren’t fully edited. And it’s way past the date he put in the contract for the photos to be done. We are absolutely devastated because we never received the 3 videos that were clearly stated in our contract. We paid good money for his service and he didn’t finished the job. We have tried countless times to contact him and he doesn’t respond yet he continues to post our photos looking for more clients. Save yourself the frustration and don’t book with him.
Rafael Gomez•Mar 11, 2026Thank you for sharing your feedback. I’m truly sorry to hear that you feel disappointed with your experience, as that is never the outcome I want for any couple. For clarity, on your wedding day I was contracted as the sole media provider, and I also provided additional coverage beyond the agreement, staying close to 8 hours instead of the scheduled 6 hours and bringing a second photographer at no additional charge. I extended this courtesy because of our prior professional relationship and the opportunity I previously provided for your wife to work alongside me as a second shooter and learn within my team. During the event, a separate content creator who was not coordinated through me was actively capturing many of the same moments. This unfortunately created interruptions during portions of the timeline and affected the way certain moments were documented. Regarding communication, I have not received recent emails or phone messages requesting updates, though my contact information has remained available and I am always reachable through email, phone, or Instagram. I did transition some business systems, but I would have been more than willing to assist had I known there were concerns. Your engagement photos and wedding images have already been delivered and shared publicly, and I appreciate that they have been posted across your social media. However, I understand that expectations around the final gallery and videos were not aligned, and I take that seriously. Out of over 100 client reviews, this is the first experience where someone has felt this way, which is why I would genuinely like the opportunity to resolve this directly with you. I am happy to reconnect privately and work toward a solution, including reviewing the remaining deliverables or discussing a partial refund if appropriate. My goal has always been to provide couples with work they are proud of and an experience that reflects the care I put into every wedding. Please feel free to reach out to me directly so we can resolve this together Jaymediasolutionsinc@gmail.com
