Jade Alayne Photography

emost, she is an outstanding photographer with an incredible eye and good taste. I trust my photography needs with her, she never fails to get flattering shots with great composition. She is open, fun, and energetic. You can really see her passion for her art in everything she does. We suggested to her guerilla photography at the Griffith Observatory for engagement shots and she was all for it, at the crack of dawn, ready to get down to business, and have a great time doing it. You can really see the energy she brings to her photography through the pictures we took! We genuinely had a blast taking pictures that day and it really really shone through. She is a meticulous editor, and will not put out subpar photographs. This is her livelihood after all, and you can see the professionalism in the photographs she produced. We were so thrilled by the engagement shots we decided to get a guest book from her. The only problem was it was such a nice book with such nice layout and design choices, we ended up not using it, as we didn't want people to write in it. Our wedding photos were the same. In our pictures, you can see the love between my husband and I. She captures that with her art direction easily and effortlessly. She gives direction in a friendly, casual way, that makes you comfortable to have her take several photographs without feeling incredibly self conscious about the whole thing. Even my husband, who is at times averse to photographers genuinely had a great time working with the talented Mrs. Pondella. I suggest, if you are reading this and are looking for a photographer, to contact her, see her work, she is proud of it, as she should be, and not afraid to show you. Ask to see my husband and I's stuff to get an idea of what we're talking about. Tell her Stephanie and Kris recommended her 100%!! P.S. On a side note, in the last week coming up to the wedding, my husband and I had decided to look into videographers (a little late, I know!!) and Jade was able to recommend one of her friends, and at a very reasonable rate. No raking us over the coal, or taking advantage of a couple in a tight situation. She gave us good prices, and was able to fit us in.
