First off, congratulations on your engagement! This is such an exciting time, and as you dive into planning your big day, finding the right wedding photographer is one of the most important decisions you’ll make. With so many options out there, it’s completely normal to feel a bit overwhelmed, but don’t worry – I’m here to make this part of the process smooth, enjoyable, and tailored just for you. At Jordan Simone Photography, my goal is simple: to create a personalized, stress-free experience and capture every meaningful moment so you can treasure your wedding memories for a lifetime.
When you book Jordan Simone Photography, you’re not just hiring someone to take pictures – you’re gaining a friend who’s genuinely invested in your day. My clients often tell me how comfortable and supported they feel, not only during their engagement sessions but throughout the entire wedding planning process. I take the time to understand your story, your vision, and what’s most important to you, so your photos reflect the heart of your relationship.
From our first conversation, I’m here to guide you. Whether it’s helping you find the perfect engagement session location or advising on details that will make your wedding photos stand out, my goal is to make the process as seamless and enjoyable as possible. By the time your wedding day rolls around, you’ll feel confident knowing you have a partner who’s committed to capturing your day exactly as you’ve pictured it.
One thing my couples consistently mention is how effortless and comfortable it feels to work with me. Posing for photos can be intimidating, but my approach is all about making it fun and natural. I provide gentle direction to help you feel at ease while capturing moments that are genuinely you – whether it’s a quiet laugh, a quick glance, or a celebratory hug.
For engagement sessions, I encourage choosing locations that hold personal meaning. Maybe it’s the beach where you shared your first kiss or the park where you got engaged. These details add depth and significance to your photos, and I’ll work with you to ensure everything – from location to outfits – fits your personal style and comfort.
From start to finish, my process is designed to keep things organized and stress-free. Early on, I’ll work with you to create a custom photography timeline, making sure every important moment is accounted for while leaving plenty of room for you to enjoy the day. We’ll check in at key points during the planning process to ensure everything is running smoothly, and I’ll always be available to answer any questions.
For example, I recommend building a little extra time into your wedding day schedule to allow for unexpected delays. This ensures that we can stay flexible and focused, capturing the best moments without feeling rushed. I’ll also coordinate with your other vendors to make sure we’re all on the same page, so you can relax and soak in every minute of your celebration.
A common question couples ask is, “When should we book our photographer?” My advice is to book at least a year (or more) in advance, as dates fill up quickly. If I’m not available for your date, don’t worry – I have an amazing team of associates who share my vision and commitment to quality.
While I don’t require you to hire a wedding planner, I always recommend it. A great planner handles the logistics and keeps everything running smoothly, allowing you to focus on enjoying your day. This also frees me up to concentrate on capturing your most meaningful moments.
With so many photographers to choose from, why work with Jordan Simone Photography? Beyond delivering stunning images, I’m deeply committed to making the entire experience stress-free and enjoyable. My approach is a balance of technical expertise, creative storytelling, and genuine connection. My clients often share how supported they feel throughout the process, and that’s something I’m incredibly proud of.
And if you’re getting married in Cape May – as a local to the area, I also bring a unique advantage. I know the best spots for golden hour portraits, hidden gems for scenic backdrops, and how to navigate popular venues to get those unforgettable shots. This insider knowledge ensures your photos are not only breathtaking but also completely unique to your day.
Planning a wedding can feel overwhelming at times, but remember—each step brings you closer to a day filled with love, laughter, and joy. Choosing the right wedding photographer is a big decision, but it’s one I’m here to make simple and exciting. Let’s create something truly special together. Reach out today to secure your date, and let’s start planning a wedding experience you’ll cherish forever. I can’t wait to get to know you and be part of your journey!
