The Hind Wedding 03/09/2024
When myself and Helen were planning our wedding, we were pretty overwhelmed by the amount of choice for wedding photographers out there, but we had Jordan recommended a few times and decided to drop him a message and see.
Jordan responded quickly and the three of us worked out together what we wanted. He didn’t try to upsell us or bog the process down with any nonsense, he clearly explained what he could do and made sure our expectations would be met from the start. There was none of this “you get 10 photos maximum and need to pay extra for 10 more” that you will probably get with some photographers. Once we were happy and agreed to have him photograph our wedding, we met up in person around two months before the big day and went through exactly what kind of photos we wanted and the logistics/timeline of the ceremony and reception. We even drafted a rough list together of who would be attending, who would be photographed as a group and where/when. Jordan was completely accommodating and nothing felt like a hassle. He also assured us that he would be flexible and adapt to whatever was needed on the day, such as if we got hit with some crap english weather (fortunately we hit lucky as it was lovely sunshine on the wedding day!) I have no doubt that even if it had rained cats and dogs, Jordan would have made it work and took some great photos.
On the wedding day, Jordan arrived exactly as expected and worked his magic. He would direct photographs when needed and other times you would barely notice he was there taking pictures – he was incredibly good at not getting in the way or distracting from the big moments like during the wedding vows or our first dance. He was like a ninja with a camera when he needed to be! He had a great balance of having us pose in photogenic ways, for the classic lovely wedding photograph you would hang up on your wall or have as a profile picture on social media, but also had us doing fun shoots like having us run together towards the camera or pose on a kids climbing frame. He made sure we were comfortable and considering I don’t usually like having my photograph taken very much, he made it really fun and memorable.
Two things I definitely took away from seeing him work – he is an absolute grafter who barely stopped all day, even when he was sitting down in between shoots, he was editing and making sure he had the photos we wanted checked off. Secondly he was very personable, several of our guests commented throughout and after the wedding about how much of a friendly bloke he was and generally a good laugh. He even happily entertained questions from my very enthusiastic cousin asking him about why he was using certain kinds of equipment or settings on his cameras and even let her look at some of the photographs he was taking as he went, which she loved. You know some photographers might have found that obstructive or annoying, but he took it in his stride and had us all laughing at the same time.
Lastly, and perhaps most importantly, the quality of the photographs are just superb. Jordan gave us an early preview of some of the photos he had taken and even sent us a few of them over Whatsapp the same night and then more the next day. I was blown away by what he had captured. If anybody thinks for a second that a wedding photographer isn’t worth it and you can just make do with what you or your guests capture on their phones, please please please do not make that mistake. I must admit it crossed my mind early in the wedding planning because, let’s face it, weddings aren’t cheap and we can be all guilty of trying to cut costs down where we can. But I promise you that you will regret not having one of the best days of your life captured in the way Jordan has with ours, the difference between the photos we took ourselves and what Jordan has already shown us is night and day. It really does feel like magic when you see them. Worth every penny and more.
Jordan probably took hundreds of photos, and we also paid for a video, and my wife and I cannot wait to see the finished product. He is overtly very passionate and talented at what he does. Cannot recommend him enough, and if you’ve found this site or had him recommended, look no further. You will not be disappointed.
Friendly and professional
Lovely down to earth who put everyone at ease and was relaxed.mostly didnt know he was there and when we did was very friendly and courteous
Absolutely amazing
Jordan was absolutely fantastic from beginning to end. We had a meeting prior to the wedding to understand what we wanted and on the day was fabulous at capturing our key moments we are over the moon with our finished video and can’t thank him enough…. Highly recommended
Absolutely brilliant!
Jordan was absolutely brilliant the whole way through from the first message right up to saying goodbye at the end of the wedding day. His confident and relaxed approach really put us at ease and gave us one less thing to worry about during our big day. During the day he was unobtrusive and respectful to our guests and ourselves but also happy to interact with anyone that wanted to. During the night time he interacted with our guests with lots of good humour and laughs. The photos came out beautiful and really captured the feeling we were looking for. Jordan was exceptional from start to finish and really helped to make our day extra special. If you’re looking for a relaxed and friendly photographer Jordan is the only man for the job.
30.09.23 – So pleased with our video of our special day
From our first call , Jordan made us feel at ease . He was very professional and shared his great ideas whilst also assuring he knew what we wanted from the day to. Great communication from the first to call to receiving our video. It was like having a friend on the day that we had known much longer than we had , he went above and beyond to help us both and our families in addition to doing his job to , even making time to bond with our dog who was a little nervous on the day with some sneaky meat from the buffet (he approved of Jordan quite quickly to!). Such a lovely guy and we are so pleased with our video of our special day, it was everything we had asked for and more . Would highly recommend Jordan if you’re looking for a videographer ! Thank you again
