Top 50 HEYYY! My name is Jason Verdin, and I’m incredibly excited that you’re here reading about me. That means you’re probably trying to get to know me and see if I’m the right fit for you. Here are some things about me: I’m happily married to my wife (Claira) and we have three kids (Logan, Evylyn, and Willow). Our first “child” is our 8 year old golden doodle pup, Boomer (we named him before OK Boomer was a thing). I love coffee, movies, music, film photography, working out, marathon running, community, and home cooked meals. I’m a people person. Although I can be a pretty social introvert, getting to know new people and their stories are what drive me.

I cannot say enough good things about Jason. I did quite a bit of research before hiring a photographer for our NYE wedding and within five minutes of talking with Jason, I knew the search was over. In the lead up to the wedding, Jason was so helpful talking through the plan for the day and ensuring we had the right timing to get all the pictures we needed. On the day of, Jason was able to keep two big families in line and on track and helped me and my husband relax and enjoy being in front of the camera (not something we're typically comfortable with). My nieces/flowergirls were having meltdowns during family pictures and he was so patient trying to get them to pose for the picture. Jason turned the pictures around so quickly and even sent a sneak peak of some the next day which was awesome. We are obsessed with how our pictures turned out and could not recommend Jason enough. If you are searching for a photographer, look no further!!!
There’s something special about Jay and how he operates as a photographer as well as a person! He makes you feel seen and comfortable while seamlessly working hard to capture critical moments on a wedding day. His professionalism is unmatched and you will be WOWED by the end result. If you’re unsure about who to book, LOOK NO FURTHER!
Jay was such a great photographer, if i could give more than 5 stars I would! I was the maid of honor for my sisters wedding and had to write a review as he was the best photographer I have ever experienced. Even before we got the photos back everyone in the bridal party was raving about him and his partner. They made everyone feel so comfortable and made the picture taking process so fun for all! They felt like wedding guests and we’re such a great addition to the day. Jay called my sister the night before to make sure everything was set up how she wanted it and even made her feel better about the weather. He truly set her at ease. In terms of results, ALL OF THE PHOTOS TURNED OUT PERFECT! My jaw dropped as I saw some of the gorgeous photos of the bride and groom. He made sure to capture genuine moments rather than posed, fake photos. Needless to say I will be paying Jay as much as it takes to get him to do my wedding in Colorado.
Jason is amazing! He and his partner were with us all day (Jason personally worked a 13 hour day for us) across multiple locations (the bride and grooms’ family homes as well as the wedding venue) and did so with a smile! We had a traditional Hindu wedding and they were professional and accommodating, not to mention friendly and fun. The turnaround time was also very quick and we received our photos after just about a month! They look fantastic and Jason did an amazing job of capturing every part of our day. Highly recommended!
Jason was amazing!! He had great communication and was able to capture all the photos we wanted and more. He was easy to take photos with while blending in with the crowd when needed. All of our photos came out great!
Jay was incredible! He went above & beyond. Our day was rainy & cold but he snagged us for the few minutes where it was dry outside to get amazing photos during golden hour. He was so easy to work with & kept us on schedule. Then he gave us our beautiful sneak peak the very next day! Couldn’t ask for a better, more talented, or down to earth photographer! Highly recommend!
This review is months 5 months too late but we couldn't not write a review! First off, can I just say wow! Right away after meeting Jason, we knew he would be a good fit for us. Jason went above and beyond to work with us throughout the planning process. He made the process of organizing the day easy and smooth. He was extremely organized and knowledgeable. I had many questions and he was so patient and helpful in incorporating everything we wanted in our day. He spent his time going over the schedule of events with us the days leading up. I felt very confident in his abilities and vision for our wedding. The day of the wedding, he played a major role in continuing to move our wedding party along. He kept us on track which I appreciated especially with all of the family photos after our ceremony. Jason was able to capture the raw moments of our day that made it all so much more special to see later on. Many of the photos we received back were very special moments that are so thankful to have to keep forever. We loved the pictures that we were given, many in which are now on the walls and have made it on our thank you cards. We can't say enough about how wonderful he was!
There are not enough amazing things to say about Jay and how special he made our wedding day. From our engagement pictures to the last picture he snapped on our wedding day, he was professional, fun, and most importantly, extremely talented. We felt comfortable with him the minute we met and he captured every moment of our day beautifully. He was able to photograph the special, candid moments with ease and they are our favorite pictures we received. His second shooter was equally as talented and made the day that much more fun. My bridal party loved them both and talked for weeks about how great they were to work with. I even had someone reach out to me on Instagram asking who my photographer was because she wanted to use them for her own wedding! Don’t think twice about booking Jay to capture the most important day of your life. His talent and easy- going nature makes him the best to work with. He was our favorite vendor we worked with by far and I recommend him to anyone looking for a photographer. Thank you for everything Jay!
Jason is everything you would want in a photographer, he’s easy to work with, professional, has amazing work and is receptive to your wedding vision. Working with Jason during the pandemic, while having to reschedule everything made at least one part of our wedding planning easy. The pictures he took turned out beautiful and we were so lucky to have him capture our special day.
Jay was absolutely wonderful to work with. From day one of reaching out to him he was professional and kind. We were in love with our engagement photos. When it came time for the wedding we knew we were in good hands. All our guests also enjoyed Jay. We were blown away with our wedding photos. He captured the most BREATH TAKING photos as well as some memorable candid photos. He made sure we stayed on track and got the photos we wanted on our big day without making us seem rushed. I would recommend his photography services to anyone interested- you will not be disappointed!
