REVIEWS
JD was such a great addition to our photo and video team on our wedding day. He seamlessly captured so many great moments and gave us a great highlight film. I also loved the added touch of a separate full video of our speeches and first dance. I recommend him to my family and friends!
We had a wonderful family session with JD! He was communicative, punctual, and had a clear vision. He was also able to move quickly — essential for us as we were running up against my 7-month-old's nap schedule. I am thrilled with how our photos turned out and wouldn't hesitate to hire him again.
Very efficient when it came to the actual shoot, as well as getting the edited photos to me — less than 24 hours! I didn't have many ideas when I arrived, but JD was able to direct me creatively for each shot. He has great taste when it comes to location, angles, and color in post. Definitely recommend.
JD is very professional and easy to work with. Super accommodating for the type of family photos I was looking for and was willing to run with our ideas! Looking forward to our next session. Thanks JD!
