I would not have been working with Jervy for years now if I was not impressed with his work. I'm really comfortable with him and that's what you need for a good pic.
One of Jervy's strengths as a photographer is his ability to produce good pictures, even in less than ideal settings. We once had to shoot eight celebrities with only a busy, monotone hall as a backdrop. To make things more challenging, we were only given five minutes with each subject-making test shots a luxury! Even in those conditions, Jervy managed to take beautiful portraits and get the job done. For me, that's a sign of a true pro!"

Jervy proved to be and fun and comfortable to work with at the Peipakoa shoot.
Jervy Santiago is simply a great photog.
This guy definitely knows how to make his models
comfortable with him on their first meeting. I met him
a few years back and he never changed even a single
inch (maybe gained a few pounds or so, haha joking).
He's such a character. Very fun to be with, he's the
type who will make you chika forever. But all that
talking leads to something good. One, very beautiful
shots of you (because you're comfy with him, it turns
out to be really pretty) candid or not, and TWO, an
everlasting friendship.
I could still remember when he covered my debut.
Everyone had fun and he made sure he got it on cam.
VERY BEAUTIFUL CEREMONY and VERY BEAUTIFUL PICTURES
AND MEMORIES to keep. Thanks Jervs!
Thanks for being a great photog and a great friend :)

That's why we are extremely happy without any regrets that we chose Jervy as our photographer. We are very impressed with his professionalism, his friendly demeanor that put us at ease in front of the camera, and the way he and his team took control and kept things moving from the moment they arrived at the hotel.

"I do" on 24th of February, 2008
When we sought Jervy’s services to do a photoshoot with our client, Ms. Imee Marcos; we expected and understood that a hubbub would arise. We were prepared to deal with an impending confusion about to take place in the studio especially since short working time was of prime relevance for our ever busy subject. Jervy and the rest of his crew pulled it off with much professionalism and grace. Most important of all, as the resulting photo shows-Jervy and company provided us more that a very good job- it was exemplary!
Thank you for the nice pictures. We really appreciate your time and effort. We had fun while doing this pictorial, you've made us an instant print ad models. haha
We are sure that you will go a long way. Keep up the good work and continue with your great ideas and concepts. See you on our engagement party.
Jervy Santiago is one great photographer we had photo shoots with! Posing infront of his lenses has never been so candid and fun! Nice person as well! Thanks Jervy for the support when we always need it! More power and Godspeed!
Jervy is known for his wonderful work with celebrities but little is known of his heart for the plight of poor children. World Vision can't thank you enough, Jervy, for rounding up the country's premier photographers to volunteer their precious time and expertise for our 50 Images of Hope
Project on the occasion of our 50th Anniversary. Heaps and heaps of thank you!
I had a great fun working with you in Leyte (just forget about my spooky experience in Ormoc:-) ). Your photos of the children are simply great! Each photo tells such a compelling story of the hope and unspoilt innocence of the children amidst poverty.. Your exceptional talent is matched only by your ability to put people at ease. It's amazing how you were able to take shots of the children at their most candid/spontaneous moments...how
you were able to draw out smiles even from the most camera-shy children.....
One more thing that I admire about you is your professionalism. No matter how late we finished the shoot, you always turn up on time the following day!:-)
I hope you'll still be around on World Vision's100th year Anniv....and work on our 100 Images of Hope Project hehehe. God bless you more!

Its fun and fast. I feel comfy when we work with Jervy. Its not only the photography but also the friendship.
“One thing we can say about Jervy and his work is that he leaves you with nothing to complain about. The shots he took for us during both our prenuptials and the wedding captured every detail of our precious moments. Until now, we still pore over our prenuptial guestbook shots as if they were just taken yesterday. And we’re still having trouble picking out the shots for our wedding album because the shots he took were simply spectacular making it so hard to choose… and we\’ve already been married for two months. We kid you not, he is that good.”
“The first time we met Jervy, we felt at ease as he’s not only professional, he’s very friendly and easy to talk to. He has years of experience both weddings, and professional shots but that didn’t get into his head. His pictures proved his professionalism, his pictures showed the love me and my husband have! He’s really an important part of anybody’s wedding day!”
Everytime we look at our photo and watch our wedding video we feel like it jut happened yesterday. Jervy and his crew did a phenomenal job in capturing the real momentum of our wedding. The actual wedding day passed just like a breeze but Jervy made sure we feel each moment by looking at the photos and the video they created for us. We never picked a better photographer to capture our very special day. Our wedding album and a movie – like video were fabulous. Heck, we even made it to the wedding magazine.

the pictures were great! lalo na the wedding rings… it says "yes i do" waaa.. so sweet.

if i'm gonna rate Jervy's work. I would give him an O*(O with a star). meaning lagpas pa sya sa outstanding!i can prove that he's really good. Just take a look at his shots during my wedding. It's really impressive. 'til now many people we're asking sino photographer ko 'coz the shots looks very natural. "no photo shop" and "effortless" yan ang trademark ni Jervy. I do believe that you will see the real beauty of photos sa original shots mismo ng photographer.
He is fun to talk with. He will also give you posing ideas. Pede rin kasi syang model!hehehhe…never syang na-late sa mga meetings namin and most especially he will give you a price na worth para sa trabaho niya!..'yan naman ang important factors sa pagkuha ng photographer diba?..i think meron si Jervy lahat nun!!
I'm very thankful that he became a part of our once in a lifetime event. I must say that i have a mouth-watering wedding memorabilias because of Jervy. its really something to treasure!
--- Kathy T. Lee
pictures are worth a thousand words. that is precisely the reason why we were so discriminating when it came to choosing our wedding photographer. he shoud be able to capture the essence and emotions of our wedding. we are so glad jervy and his team did not disappoint! he captured every unforgetable moments during our special day. since we are not the type who like stifled and mushy poses, he made sure that our shots were as candid and as funny as possible, just the way we like it. galing! he is superb!
we never thought jervy would become a serious photographer.
his passion for perfection makes every piece of picture a work of art.
one of our relatives quoted him during our wedding; "your photgrapher is good ah, mabilis!"
jervy always make sure every great moment is captured. he's mostly seen in a lot
of special occassions because he has become a favorite to many.
