Top 30 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.

Jason is the best!!! Love working with him!! He captured our wedding so beautifully!!! All the moments - big and small, embarrassing, and hilarious, the genuine laughs and reactions - he got it all!! The day was overflowing with so much love, laughter, and fun and I can’t believe how many moments he was able to capture!! I feel like I get to relive the whole day forever now!!! He made me and my girls feel so comfortable, confident, and beautiful! He’s great at leading and directing large groups and kids and getting everybody to the right spots at the right time! He’s punctual, timely and stays on top of the schedule. He’s an absolutely pro artistically!!! I mean, our wedding was beautiful but the pictures are just absolutely flawless!!! And most importantly, he’s just a great guy and so much fun to work with!!! He’s our family photographer for life!! Can’t thank you enough Jason!
Jason is awesome! From the moment we met him for our engagement photos, he made us feel totally comfortable! We are not the best at smiling for pictures, I always find it a bit awkward. But Jason totally took that feeling away, both times we worked with him. He knew the right things to say, or have us say to each other to make us genuinely smile and laugh. He captured our wedding so beautifully, and captured us and our families so great, along with working with our amazing venue! He was professional, as well as super friendly. Everyone at our wedding enjoyed having him there, and we absolutely love our pictures!!!! I feel like we relived the day through his photos, it was so much fun to look through all the things he caprured!Highly reccomended him❤❤
WOW - is basically all I can say, but I'll say more. Jason was very patient scheduling times with us and braved the cold.. and believe me, it was a COLD day. The pictures came out perfect, the whole experience was fun, and Jason has some creative techniques to get the most authentic smiles from his customers. HIGHLY recommend! I would give 7 stars if I could.
Jason is THE BEST. Extremely personable and professional. Laid back to what we wanted, but gave great direction to us and the wedding party for poses. It was actually enjoyable getting all our pictures taken on a very humid, hot, post storm day. He was organized, had a couple meetings with us in advance, and was very transparent about the whole process. Pricing and contract are fantastic. We even received about 20 preview photos that very night of our wedding!! Both the posed shots and candid snaps were gorgeous. Could not recommend him more. If you are looking for an indoor & outdoor expert with a chill personality- he’s your guy
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!
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.
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!
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!
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!
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!
