About

JCort Platinum Photography

Owner / Photographer

I

was born in New York, grew up in Brooklyn; Flatbush to be exact. Eventually, a family move landed me in Akron, Ohio and that is where I met and fell in love with photography. I came across an older photographer who had a large array of equipment. I asked if I could use one of the cameras he no longer shot with. I took that camera to an old-school film and development shop in Akron called F/Stop.

Jessie McDaniel worked at F/Stop and took me under his wing, showing me how to work all 500 buttons on the camera 😂. One day when I returned to pick up my developed film, he complimented my work and asked me to support him at a wedding he was going to be shooting.

Just like that, my career began. And for the past 20+ years I’ve been blessed to do what I love: capture priceless moments. Specializing in weddings, creative portraits, and branding, my desire is for all my clients to see and know beauty in each image I deliver.

Now residing in Las Vegas since 2012, when I’m not indulging in my love of photography, you may find me spending quality time with my daughters, teaching a martial arts class, in a gym focusing on self-care, cooking, or traveling. It would be my honor to capture the unforgettable moments and celebratory images of life that tell your story.

Christian Montiel

Videographer/ Drone Specialist

Hi, I’m Christian. Although I was born in California, Las Vegas has been my home since I was a toddler. I fell in love with photography in high school but it wasn’t enough. I wanted to create art through movement. Videography allows me to do that digitally while capturing your vision in an innovative way.

 

It would be an honor to help you design unforgettable moving moments of life that tell your story.
