Jason was so easy and enjoyable to work with. His calm demeanor truly helped keep me calm during both our engagement shoot and on our wedding day. He captured our goofiness and love well, and made both experiences fun and painless.

Jason not only did our wedding but also our engagement shoot and he did absolutely incredible for both. He is a great guy to be around and helps you get comfortable with being in photos even if you aren't the most photogenic person out there. For our wedding day he was absolutely everywhere, whenever we were wishing to get a photo of something we would spot him or his second shooter. They were incredible and we cannot wait for the rest of our photos from our May wedding!

Not only does Jason take beautiful pictures but he is also very flexible. He was up for taking our engagement photos in various places and very accommodating when we postponed our large reception opting for a micro wedding. He was very supportive and a huge help the day of our wedding. He even took some maternity shots for me while getting ready. We can’t recommend Jason enough and look forward to his work at our wedding reception!

Jason Perryman was the very first vendor my husband and I booked, well over a year in advance of our wedding. We found Jason’s work on Wedding Wire and then browsed his portfolio on his website and Instagram. We met up for coffee to get more info and were really liked his calm, reassuring personality. His prices were within our budget and very reasonable. Jason’s eye for light was the biggest draw for me - you gotta love those golden hour pics! In November of 2019 we booked an engagement session with Jason and we couldn’t have been more impressed. When our original plans of shooting at a park fell through, Jason suggested the LA Arboretum instead. We spent a few hours there with him and it was a really fun, laid back time. He made us laugh and kept it comfortable. We were so thrilled when we got the pictures back; we knew we’d made the right choice for our wedding photographer.
Fast-forward almost a year to 2020. Covid19 hit and we weren’t sure if we were going to be able to hold our small, 30 person wedding. We decide to scale it down to a micro-wedding with just family - 11 people total. Jason was super flexible and encouraging. It was particularly important to us to capture the day with photos to share with our family and friends who wouldn’t be there / couldn’t make it. Jason showed up on time, was professional and engaging, worked well with our other vendors, and took some stunning pictures. We liked working with him so much we recommended him to our friends for their maternity shoot! We would not hesitate to reach out to him in the future and would recommend him to anyone looking for a great wedding photographer.

I can’t express how much I loved working with Jason Perryman. He has photographed several of our friends Weddings and has done an amazing job every time. We were excited to hire him for our special day and he didn’t disappoint. He is so talented and amazingly priced. We recommend him to everyone.

We worked with Jason from engagement photos to boudoir to wedding day and we loved it. He is so kind, and professional, and has beautiful photos. He knows what he is doing and can direct and guide appropriately, kept the day running and was great with all of our guests and bridal party, etc. He is also very communicative and on top of what he's doing. I've already been recommending him to others!

Jason was amazing as our photographer. We loved his creative and sometimes avant garde style that makes his pictures so unique. He was so calm and accommodating that he made both our engagement session and wedding day so much easier. He gave us a lot of advice and tips for getting our best pictures and always went above what was asked of him. He was also honest about strategy which was refreshing and allowed us to make last minute changes on our wedding day for better photography. His packaging is also a great value for the results, we can't wait to get the rest of our photos for our big day!

We had such an amazing experience working with Jason. Across the board—he was phenomenal. We had a very small elopement style wedding in Joshua Tree, California on a weekday. He exceeded our expectations in just about every way possible!
Style
Jason’s style is amazing! It’s soft, artful, and truly tells a story. He has an eye for capturing a great shot, but also continues to hone his craft by learning new techniques and investing in quality lenses (so I learned on an hour drive with him).
Engaging and Responsive
When we were deciding where to elope, I reached out to vendors from California to North Carolina. Jason’s response time was always prompt, and his rates were incredibly competitive! Other vendors in the area took up to a week to respond, and when they did gave me such high rates and generic response—it was as though they didn’t read any of what I submitted (there were 5 of us, and we got married on a Wednesday night).
Above and Beyond
From the moment of inquiry, to settling up for the final bill—Jason went above and beyond. He was a great communicator and went out of his way to get to know us and uncover what we envisioned for our big day. On the day of, he arrived early and got right to work. He especially made an effort to include our 3-year-old son and our big goofy dog, Dudley—which we really appreciated! After our ceremony, he got in the van with us and spent an hour driving to and from Joshua Tree National Park—where he orchestrated the most stunning shots! He stayed later than expected, got the MOST amazing night shots (with Joshua Trees and shooting stars!). He is also fabulous at coaching you in posing and making recommendations for the best photos possible! However, he captured lots of candid photos that I just love too! Highly recommend Jason! In fact, if we were to ever head back that way—I’d like to ring him just to have a beer with us. ☺ Far exceeded all of our expectations. THANKS JASON!

Where do I begin? My husband and I found Jason through some friends who also had him as their wedding photographer (and they loved him as well). We quickly contacted him to meet up and review his work. He was very accommodating to our location and was happy to show us all of his latest events and the different styles he does. Every picture was amazing! Our wedding photos were a part of our budget that we wanted to invest in, but even then Jason's packages were very affordable and customizable. We decided to go with the engagement session and wedding day package (and guest book), and added a second photographer - worth every penny spent!
The engagement session went very well. Jason suggested several locations and we chose from there. He had SO many ideas for the session! My husband and I left feeling very happy and excited about the experience. And we only had to wait a couple of weeks to receive the pictures.
On the day of the wedding, Jason was prompt and ready with his second photographer. He was very kind and patient through everything. I was open to any kind of pictures and he was able to get many during the preparation and chaos prior to the ceremony. After the ceremony, he got so many pictures of my husband and I with our family and wedding party. He also was working throughout the reception and dancing! He was very flexible and open to some of my ideas. We are still waiting on our wedding day photos, but I have no doubt that they are amazing!
I was able to contact Jason very easily via email and text - he always responded right away. His photography is very easily understated, and my husband and I are SO lucky to have found him! I would book him for another session in a second! I HIGHLY recommend Jason!

I just recently got married on June 28, 2014. We met up with Jason last year to see his work and loved it!! On the day of the wedding he was so professional and patient. He let us take "fun' shots and took a variety of shots. I have seen only a few of the final pictures but I already love what I see! I would definitely recommend him!

Jason took our engagement photos and wedding photos, my fiance and I absolutely LOVE our engagement pictures and can't wait for the wedding ones..
Jason was very professional and very patient with us.
I don't mind taking pictures, but my fiance is probably the WORST picture taker EVER. For example, Jason would say things like "put all your weight on one leg" and my fiance would stand on one leg.... He's definitely NOT model material.
Even though, I'm marryed the most un-photogenic person EVER, you would never be able to tell from Jason's photos. Our photos came out amazing! They were exactly what I wanted.
The best thing, Jason is HILARIOUS. He even captured the rare, natural-looking smile/laugh from my fiance. We can't wait for our wedding shots!!!

I found Jason literally by Googling "wedding photographers near Riverside, CA" and I am SO glad that I did! I fell in love with his photos on his website knew I wanted him to be our photographer. Jason was great about being available for questions before the wedding. The day of he was so great to work with! I'm a bigger girl and don't always feel like I'm the prettiest of girls either, but I did not feel one bit self conscious as Jason worked with us throughout the day! We just got our 40 picture preview and I cannot WAIT to see the rest of the photos! We also get our images on a CD with rights to print which was a HUGE selling point for us!
