Jason Burns Photography

t of the camera but he made us feel so comfortable that we actually had fun during our photoshoot! We really appreciated his helpful suggestions and direction that made our photos feel so sweet and natural. We are so happy with our photos and the memories that he captured for us, and we can't recommend him more!

ed by his artistic eye and ability to tell a story through his photographs. We knew right away that we had found the perfect photographer for our special day. We booked Jason for both our engagement shoot and our wedding, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. Working with his was an absolute pleasure; he made us feel comfortable and at ease throughout the entire process. His passion for his craft was evident in every shot he took, and the results were simply breathtaking. The photos from both our engagement shoot and our wedding are beyond anything we could have imagined. Jason has a unique ability to capture the most important moments with such artistry and emotion. Each photo tells a story and brings back memories that we will cherish for a lifetime. I highly recommend Jason to anyone in search of a talented, friendly, and professional photographer. Thank you, Jason, for beautifully capturing some of the most important moments of our lives.

was very easy to talk to on the phone and is very easy going in general. He took our engagement photos in Rancho Palos Verdes (a spot he recommended) and he had several different locations there, making it look like we were in different places! Our engagement photos were used on our save the dates and wedding invitations and we received multiple compliments on both and many people asked who our photographer was! Fast forward to our wedding, and we couldn’t have asked for anything more!!!! He truly is amazing at what he does! We received a sneak peak of our wedding photos less than 12 hours after the wedding ended and the rest of the photos are few weeks later!! I have already referred a few brides to him and I know they will be just as happy as my husband and I are with his work! If you’re in need of a wedding photographer, look no farther! Contact Jason immediately, you will be happy you did!

was very clear in how to prepare to ensure that everything day-of went smoothly. On the day-of he came on time, prepared, and was wonderful to work with. He has a great personality that puts you at ease, and is also very efficient. When selecting locations and directing us in posing it was clear he was being very thoughtful and intentional. This, along with his vision and talent, created the most beautiful pictures. We were completely blown away with the gorgeous way he captured our wedding day and could not be happier with our photos.

true talent and we are so happy he captured our special day! We would highly recommend!

y dispense with the pretense that my now-husband meaningfully participated in any of the wedding decisions that didn't involve food and alcohol) because I liked the joyful, vibrant energy of his work; his photojournalistic style; and his experience photographing my wedding venue. Meeting with him over Zoom solidified my decision--he was professional but had an easygoing, fun vibe that I knew my husband and I could work with. Plus, he has a cat! Pat me on the back for my great decision-making, because my husband and I love our wedding photos. I usually hate the way I look in photos, even when I've had photos taken professionally. But these are beautiful, and there are literally 682 of them, and he got them to us in 9 days! We love them. In the lead-up to the wedding, Jason was very organized. I booked him about 10 months in advance, and would email him periodically with questions, like whether the patterned dresses that my sisters wanted to wear would look OK on-camera. He would respond within hours, every time. I even changed up my contract at one point, and he was completely accommodating (but, like, be respectful. I did this several months in advance, not, the week before). About a month before the wedding, he emailed me to finalize the shot list for family portraits. And working with him and Billy on the day-of was fantastic. They arrived at the venue before I did, and were working nonstop until after the first dance, when they finally got a break. Jason noticed every detail, and would let us know I needed to fix my necklace or veil or a strand of hair. He was upbeat the entire day, even when *I* was getting extremely frustrated trying to corral my family members. Also, he and Billy were great with my parents' dog, and managed to get family portraits where our dog is actually looking at the camera. In fact, there are only two things I would have done differently. First, I would have done even more preparation for the family photos, to make the most of everyone's time. I thought it would be enough to have two assigned family-wranglers and shout at them, "Get the grandmas!" or whatever. It was not enough. I should written a list of every shot, numbered in order of when they'd be taken, with the names of every person in each of those shots, and I should have given paper copies to Jason, Billy, and the most aggressive family members who could be tasked with identifying the people who needed to be in each photo. I would have done the same for the wedding party. We wasted so much time simply searching for people. I would have made them all sit in the room where we were taking the family portraits and STAY. Oh, how I wish I could redo that whole ordeal, and yet I simultaneously hope to never experience that again. Second, I would have hired TWO photographers. Jason could have brought a second photographer with him for an extra $500 or something, and I changed my mind about this and decided to only hire Jason. I regret this because there were so many photos to take, and only one Jason, and it was inevitable that we didn't get pictures of certain decorations I was really proud of, and more importantly, certain guests. My heart is a little bereft at that, so I would advise couples to consider asking Jason to bring a partner, if it's in your budget.

ed us plan out our shoot locations and had insightful advice from his experience shooting around Santa Barbara, including identifying a location from a reference photo we provided as inspiration that we couldn't quite find as locals. Jason was professional in his follow up to determine exact timing, location, and desired shot list as well as answering all of our pre-contract questions via a video call. On the day of the wedding we had the rainiest day of all 2022. Jason had arrived well prepared with contingency plans to get interesting shots that were sheltered from the rain. After a whirlwind of shots downtown and at the courthouse ceremony, we headed to the beach where it really started to downpour. My wife was adamant on getting pictures despite the rain. As a result of Jason's willingness to 'weather the storm', we have incredibly unique and dramatic shots to capturing the moment. We are grateful for having chosen Jason as our wedding photographer and would wholeheartedly recommend you booking him for your engagement, wedding, or other photography needs.

ght from the start and I am so happy it was him we chose to capture our special day. He took a large variety for us and we received our photos back very quickly. His editing is so unique and beautiful! I could not be more happy with the entire experience; he was so perfect for us and I highly recommend Jason Burns Photography. He helped capture our special day perfectly!!

ience. There just aren’t enough words to possibly describe how amazing each and every photo that Jason took is. He has a magical way of finding the perfect angle, lighting and of course expressions. We wanted our elopement intimate, and full of laughter and Jason made us feel that from start to finish. Let this be your sign to hire him!

from each other, we spent more time with Jason than any guest or vendor at the wedding and I don’t think we could have chosen a better photographer to hang out with for our special day! Jason immediately made us feel comfortable and guided us into the sweetest poses and we are just so in love with all of our photos! He has such a great energy that he brings to his work and the photos are absolutely amazing. He captured the beauty of the guests and the venue and all the love and joy felt that day so beautifully. And the turn around - wow! I cannot speak highly enough of Jason. From beginning to end he was an absolute dream to work with. I wish we had another excuse for professional photos so we could hire him again - I’m sure we’ll come up with something!

 *In my best turkey voice lol* Thank you so much for your beautiful work, Jason! The day wouldn't have been nearly as special without you! Jackielyn & Nicholas

mpt, professional, and such a great communicator and very easygoing. We LOVED the photos even though we both hated taking photos lol. Would love to work with him again and highly recommend!

self-conscious and awkward in front of a camera, but he was able to make us feel very comfortable and captured our personalities and style so well! Our nervousness quickly passed, and we ended up laughing a lot and having a really fun time! He was also very patient and friendly with us. It felt like we were hanging out with a good friend who was following us around, hyping us up and capturing all the special moments. Above all, he highlighted every detail of our wedding beautifully and made everything look magical. When we look at his photos, we are able to relive our special day and feel all the feels surrounding it. We are so thankful to have discovered Jason, and we hope we will have another excuse to work with him in the future! -Corinna and Josiah

w what to expect during the wedding itself. And on the day of, he made us feel comfortable, captured all the special moments, got many candid shots of our friends and family, and in general just took many, many beautiful photos that will help us remember this day for the rest of our lives. Thank you, Jason! We highly recommend hiring him for your event!

l of our questions and booked him for an engagement shoot soon after. When we met Jason, he was easy going and immensely talented at his craft. We are not used to being photographed but Jason was great to work with, and made us feel confident and comfortable in front of a camera. The photos we got back were simply amazing, and we could not stop sharing them with friends and family and could not wait for the wedding. Using the timeline Jason helped us setup to best make use of his time; the day's photo sessions with friends, family, and through more intimate snapshots were a breeze. He captured all the special moments of the day and we feel fortunate that we found Jason. And are grateful we get to relive these moments again and again through his truly exceptional photos.

nt of the camera is pretty limited, but Jason and his associate Billy made us feel completely comfortable throughout the day. They were able to take the most gorgeous shots of us, our family and our venue, right down to the tiniest detail so that we can always remember how beautiful our wedding was. And they were just so FUN to work with, we had a great time that day! I can't thank Jason enough for his professionalism, kindness and amazing photos. I'm so glad that we had the privilege of having him as our photographer.

y shy and awkward when it comes to taking pictures but Jason has a way of making you feel comfortable. He’s attention to detail is impeccable. We highly recommend you use him you will not be disappointed.

re not the most comfortable in front of a camera, but Jason still managed to get such amazing shots. He is professional, and so friendly, and made a process neither of us were looking forward to so much fun. If you're hesitating to book, don't! You wont regret it.

after our engagement shoot that we had made a great choice choosing Jason as our photographer. For two people who do not consider themselves photogenic, Jason got some great shots of us. His attention to detail is impeccable. Our day was such a whirlwind that I was not able to see a lot of things. It was so nice to get our pictures and see that Jason made the effort to capture every little detail. For that, I am eternally grateful. Your pictures is what you will always have to look back on your big day, make sure you choose a great photographer like Jason to capture it all. You will NOT be disappointed!

s compliments on how amazing our photos came out for both our engagement and wedding day often saying how they’ve never seen such beautiful wedding photos and that they look like they came from a bridal magazine. Jason is great to work with and his talent and artistic eye is truly in a league of his own. To even more amazement, he gave us a thoughtful photo box with our usb and a ring holder as a wonderful gift. When creating our photo album he let us work collaboratively on creating it and making it a lifetime keepsake. It was difficult choosing which photos to use because every single photo that he gave back to us was stunning. We would absolutely recommend him and will being using him for all of our future big life moments.

ason made my husband and I feel really relaxed and got a lot of natural and romantic photos of us during our engagement shoot. Also, prior to our wedding day he went over a list of all the photos that we had to have to ensure we didn’t miss anything. And we couldn’t be happier with the results, we got all the photos we told him we wanted, and so much more. I think it’s rare to find someone so talented that is at the same time extremely professional and organized. You can tell he enjoys his work and really wants his customers to have beautiful photos that they’ll appreciate for a lifetime.

y in Temecula. Jason was so personable, easy to work with, quick to respond to any and all questions/e-mails, and truly so so talented. AND I also have to point out that his turnaround time is incredible - we got our entire wedding gallery 2.5 weeks after our wedding - AMAZING!!! He is so passionate about what he does and it really shows through in his work. His photographs are each a piece of art - from the way he carefully catches the rays of sunshine coming through the trees, to the fleeting and oh so cherished moments of raw emotion from the wedding day. These are memories (and photos) that will now last a lifetime. My sister asked me for my favorite photo and it is impossible for me to pick just 1, because I am so impressed with all of his work! I am so happy that we chose Jason to photograph our wedding. I am honestly a bit sad that our time working with Jason has come to an end, If I could have him photograph every milestone I would! Thank you Jason for sharing you talent with us and for providing such beautiful photos! For anyone considering Jason for your wedding, do yourselves a favor and book him - you will not be disappointed!! :)

photos that catered to our taste. He's easy to work and get along with and is quick to respond. If you love the style of photography, you won't be disappointed.

. We had a night wedding and were a little concerned that there may be some issues with capturing details because of how dark it was. Clearly this was not an issue for Jason, our pictures came out perfectly. Jason was able to capture the magic of that evening and our joy with every picture. Pictures aside, Jason was amazing to work with. He is so personable that it felt like he was an old friend. We were relaxed and managed to have fun and not stress about any aspect of the night. Jason, also coordinated with our wedding coordinator and DJ to make sure he had every opportunity to capture the best pictures of every event (first dance, father daughter dance...etc.). In addition, Jason is so prompt with every aspect of the photography process. We heard stories that it can take 3-4 months after the wedding to have final wedding pictures back, so that was our anticipated time frame. As of the date of this review we have been married for a little less than 5 weeks. Jason has given us the link to all of our digital pictures (all edited), the USB containing the pictures, and the photo book which we decided to buy two weeks after the wedding. I cannot say enough great things about Jason. He exceeded every expectation we had. Jason, thank you again for everything. Brynne & Anthony

!

aptured. He is a true professional who visited the venues ahead of time in order to find the most picturesque settings.

t Jason, we knew he was the one. I followed Jason on Instagram and was so excited knowing that he was going to be the one capturing our wedding day. Jason met us in November for our engagement photos in Temecula. He was patient and very easy to work with. He had sneak peaks of our engagement photos right away and we had our pictures back within a few weeks which was wonderful. Then came our wedding day. We had 2 photographers and an assistant. Jason was outstanding. We even laughed together as I was taking pictures with my cell phone of some of the details at the reception and he informed me that he took the same pictures! Jason found different locations throughout our venue to capture different views. Although we have not received our photos yet, Jason did send us a sneak peak slideshow that had me in tears. He captured so much and you can see the love and fun that was had by everyone who was part of our wedding. Pictures are a forever keepsake and finding the right photographer to capture your special day is extremely important. Jason's passion shows in the pictures he takes and it is an extreme art that he has. If I could give Jason 10 stars I would. We are so looking forward to receiving our photos. And to anyone who is looking for just a fantastic photographer, look no further, Jason Burns is by far superb and he will NOT disappoint. Thank you again Jason!

ontrasts significantly with more traditional wedding photography where the background is muted out. He is affable and delightful to work with. Investing in Jason as your photographer is investing in future Art for your walls: Art that is one-of-a-kind and personal. He is transparent in his prices, which is surprisingly rare and awesome. I am so pleased he chose us to work with! Jason Burns is professional, patient, kind and fun to spend time with. I highly recommend him to couples that will appreciate his artistic approach to wedding photography.

natural lighting, which is what exactly what we wanted. He got our photos back to us very quickly too! :)

going and on track. They also stepped in and helped where they didn’t need too, such as fixing my bustle. Jason also did our engagement photos and they came out stunning! The previews of our wedding photos are breathtaking! Thank you Jason for everything!!

ows!!!" He is an artist and a pure talent. The images he captures are mesmerizing and have so many layers to them. We fell in love with his composition and everyone who sees our photos asks, "WOW! Who is your photographer?!" In addition to his outstanding work, Jason is an awesome person and such a pleasure to work with. He got our engagement and wedding photos to us so promptly and was always in communication with us if we had any questions. We even got the engagement photo guest book and were blown away by the quality. We almost didn't want anybody to write in it lol!!! His pictures tell a story and they capture real moments that are PRICELESS and moments that we, our family and friends will cherish FOREVER!!! THANK YOU JASON!!! We are so grateful that we found you and we cannot wait to see our wedding photo album!!!!! Sincerely, Kevin & Brandy

al and so accommodating. I cry every time I look at our wedding photos, because he truly captured every moment. He even does a slide show for you with music. For a couple who decided against a videographer, we were so happy with how he captured our day! Jason is above 5 stars, and you shouldn't look anywhere else for amazing quality photos! Here's our slideshow so you can see for yourselves! https://jason-burns-photography.smartslides.com/franco-april

s style. His photos are very natural and not overly edited to where they look fake. I felt like myself, just in the best possible lighting and placement! He also has a great eye for what's in the background and incorporating it into his photos. The day of our wedding there was an amazing sunset. He was able to work quickly to get as many photos as possible with it . So many of our guests commented on how great he was and kept saying "he seemed like he was everywhere." When we got our photos back there were over 1300 pictures ranging from getting ready to our sparkler exit and every little detail in between and I love them all! He also did our engagement session for free when we purchased our wedding package which, to me, was such a great idea. It made me feel much more comfortable with him on our wedding day and gave him a chance to get to know us as a couple and I think it made our wedding photos more genuine because he was able to capture our personalities. He was incredibly easy to work with and does amazing photography! I would definitely hire him again and refer him to anyone looking for a photographer, wedding or otherwise!!!

AMAZING! I honestly love every photo he took!! Hire him! You won't regret it :)

while taking our engagement photos and everything turned out great. We just got our wedding photographs back and they were amazing. We couldn't have asked for a better photographer. The amount of value Jason provides is amazing. We plan on using him for more events in the future.

ceremony and reception. His eye for styled shots helped each photo feel like we were transported back to our wedding day. Fantastic! Amazing!! I need more adjectives for Jason Burns Photography.

both our engagement session and wedding! I hold so many pictures close to my heart from our special and I am beyond grateful to have had Jason as our photograper. I am highly confident in reccomending Jason Photography to any nearly weds! Jason is excellent in communication, promptly responds to e-mails, has an excellent work ethic and once again a genuine passion for capturing stunning photos!

ng job making you feel comfortable, and offering great advice to really make the pictures turn out well. He offers a lot of flexibility with the actual formal pictures to be taken, and was happy to accommodate any of our requests. He really does a great job in allowing you to experience the day, but still capture those intimate and fleeting moments throughout. Jason is a fantastic choice for your wedding photographer--friends and family continue to tell me how great the pictures turned out for our wedding.

son as your photographer for your special occasion! We used him for our engagement shoots (yes we did 2) & our wedding. We cant nearly capture our gratefulness and thankfulness for Jason but we are going to try to in our review. Jason was used by our brother/ brother-in-law for his wedding & they said he was really well organized & they felt really comfortable/ relaxed during their engagement shoot & at the wedding. Also all their photos came out AMAZING! So we reached out to him on a holiday when we were able to get together & he responded 10 minutes later so we met the next day & signed with him. Engagement shoot was the first time interacting with Jason outside of our initial meeting to sign a contract with him. He was very flexible on timing & locations. He had done some research at our location (Balboa Pier) & had shot there before. The locations were perfect & the weather ended up making for some great sunset photos. Jason was really easy going & we both felt really comfortable being ourselves with him & didn't feel "awkward" like some photographers can make you feel. Was a great first engagement shoot. He put a couple photos up on social media that night & we got our photos about a week to a week and a half later. We ended up wanting to do a second engagement shoot at our university we met at as it was special to us. He was again very quick to respond to us & was willing to work without time frame to make the shoot happen. Again, we felt very comfortable at the shoot & the photos turned out amazing. Put up another couple photos the night of the shoot & got all of them a few weeks later. A few weeks before the wedding, Jason gave us a timeline of when he would been shooting things so we knew when to be dressed & what photos would be taken. The day of, we built a list of all photos with names of people which I high suggest, Jason's assistant helped get everyone organized during family photos & made things flow really quick. Day of the wedding, Jason showed up an hour before he was scheduled to be there. He wanted to check out the venue & figure out the layout as he had never been there before. Took great care of the bride & groom & made sure to get all the photos we wanted & then some. Jason has a really great eye for spots we would have never thought of! He stuck around until the end & made sure we were taken care of. Another thing is that we never really saw Jason & he was really respectful of the guests during the ceremony. Jason put up a few photos from our wedding the day after. Jason put up a blog about a week after the wedding. After the wedding, we got our photos back in about 2 weeks. He had friends get married 3 weeks before us and still hadn't even seen 1 photo from their wedding & we had all of ours. He even sent us a little gift box after with prints from our wedding & a flash drive with all our photos. What you get with Jason: 1. SUPER AMAZINGLY BEAUTIFUL photos 2. Won't feel awkward during your photo-shoots and is really easy to talk to 3. Responsibility and professionalism: Quick responses to emails 4. Your photos back in a few weeks (really quick!) 5. Care for everyone involved in the event 6. Affordable pricing for what you get in return http://jasonburnsphotographyblog.com/serendipity-garden-weddings-chris-lauren/

r quick initial meeting, we first met him in Palm Springs for our engagement session. Palm Springs is kind of a special place for us so we were grateful that he would drive all the way out there to do it. He got some incredible shots with the windmills and all of these cool textured backgrounds which I love. After receiving these we knew we made the right choice. Then came the wedding... from the moment Jason got there him and his team were going above and beyond. In addition to being there to photograph getting ready Jason was also extremely helpful with little things like how to button something correctly. I was so appreciative. I imagine since he's done so many weddings he's got this stuff down.. All day Jason and his team captured what they needed to, but you barely realized they were even there. He knew just where to go for the best light and creative angles we just trusted and followed. Our photos came out INCREDIBLE!!! They are all so gorgeous!! I have had complete strangers, who somehow saw a shared photo.. or people I work with but never spoke to who saw the photo that they sent out, seek me out to and tell me how beautiful our pictures are. There are always two words that every single person has said.. beautiful and stunning. Words honestly cannot even describe how incredible they are. Our families have just been blown away. We can't pick favorites to print because there are just too many great ones!!! Jason is worth about 100x more than what he charges. I have been recommending him to everyone I know who's getting married.. and even strangers! Not only are people commenting on how talented Jason is, but also how nice he is. He is super nice and friendly! We cannot recommend Jason enough. Jason, thank you so so very much for everything. Our photos are absolutely perfect!

es to having all the attention on us and He made us feel very comfortable around him. He has a great personality and really took his time to get to know us!! We received some prints in the mail which we were not expecting to receive, love the fact that he went above and beyond for our wedding and so happy that we chose Jason best pictures i have ever seen!!!

ths before our wedding and we still hadn't seen anything we really loved. And then we sat down with Jason. As soon as the meeting was over we said he was our guy. And now with pictures in hand I know how blessed we were to have him. Pricing was great. He was timely. And he and his assistants were so sweet and made the long day so much fun.

ike some photographers can be. He also has a calming manner, which is wonderful when I (the bride) was acting a little crazy. and now For his pictures they are beautiful, he finds beauty in the locations he is given and adds a touch and fun to make it memorable. if you get the chance to work with him and his team you i'm sure you will be as pleased as my Husband and me.

made us feel so comfortable and relaxed. We had so much fun and people are still commenting on our engagement pictures. The wedding pictures are equally fabulous and I have never felt more beautiful in my life! Jason and his assistant Kelley were amazing with all of us and family and friends.. so patient and so much fun! He's given us so much for so much less than any other photographer we met with. His images are fashion magazine quality and he is a delight to work with!
