“The photos that Jason captured were perfect! Choosing a photographer was one of our hardest decisions until I met with Jason. I knew immediately after talking to him and looking through his portfolio that he would be amazing. He has such a creative eye for photography, and is such a special talent. Jason and his crew captured the moments of joy, laughter, and love with such a beautiful journalistic eye that, when looking back through them, brings back all the emotions of those moments in time. We can’t stop looking through our wedding photos, it is so hard to choose what photos we want to print since there are SO MANY AMAZING PHOTOS! J. Brown Photography was worth every penny and more! Thank you Jason and your crew for such an amazing job capturing our wedding!”
