ra. It felt like an old friend was taking pictures of us! There are so many gorgeous photos we adore, Jason has the best eye! You will not be disappointed with the outcome. Jason is someone we would go to again and again for future pictures!
Jason captured our private ceremony beautifully. He was thoughtful, warm, and made both my husband and me feel completely at ease. The photos exceeded our expectations and will be ...
cherished and displayed throughout our home for years to come. We wholeheartedly recommend Jason!
Jason was so amazing to work with! We’re typically not the type of people who love being in front of the camera, but he made the whole experience fun for us. We also kept him runni...
ng around town to all the destinations we wanted pictures, and he was so flexible with everything. We couldn’t have pictured the day without him there, and we couldn’t recommend him enough for your big day!
Jason is amazing!! From the beginning, he really was our personal hype man, like he says he is! He’s extremely kind, so easy to get along with, and super talented! I had previously...
been in a wedding that Jason photographed, so I knew how great he was, but my now husband didn’t and after our engagement session, he had nothing but amazing things to say about Jason and he couldn’t wait for him to photograph our wedding! We truly had a dream team behind us on our wedding day, and Jason was one of them! He was always open to any ideas I had, and also always made sure to check in with me to see if there were any additional photos I had in mind before moving to the next thing. As an interracial couple, it was important for us to have a photographer that could edit our photos well given the different skin tones, and he did an amazing job. He really embraced our winter wedding and trotted through the snow with us for some killer photos! There simply aren’t enough words to describe just how great Jason is to work with. We are so excited to see our wedding gallery, because based on the sneak peeks, I know it will be stunning. We look forward to working with him in the future as our family grows! We love you Jason!!
We had such an amazing experience working with Jason as our wedding photographer! From the very beginning, his Instagram bio "your personal hype man" is absolutely spot on—he reall...
y brought the energy and made both our engagement and wedding photo sessions so much fun!
Jason’s approach was relaxed and engaging, which helped us feel at ease, especially with all the excitement of the big day. The results? Absolutely stunning!
One thing I really appreciated about Jason was his ability to balance his own creative vision with the ideas we brought to the table. As the bride, I had a ton of Pinterest ideas that I was eager to see come to life, and Jason was more than happy to incorporate them into the shoot. But for the engagement photoshoot, I had NO idea what I wanted to do. Jason, completely unfazed, guided us through a 45-minute session with absolutely no direction from me—and the photos turned out gorgeous!
If you’re worried about being awkward or not knowing what to do, Jason is great at guiding you through the process. He came prepared with prompts that really helped bring out those natural smiles and authentic moments between my husband and me. We felt comfortable and had a blast during both photo sessions.
We found Jason through a friend’s wedding, and we loved his style so much that we knew he was the perfect fit for us. He worked seamlessly with our budget and the locations we chose, even though I was based in Fond du Lac, WI, and he’s out of Minneapolis, MN. As a huge fan of fall, I was thrilled with how Jason edited our photos to capture the warm, cozy vibes of the season. The colors and tones in our photos are exactly what I wanted, and they’ll be cherished for years to come.
Overall, we couldn't have asked for a better photographer. Jason was professional, friendly, and delivered beautiful images that captured our special day perfectly. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a photographer who’s not only talented but a total joy to work with!
One thing we think could have been better was communication. There were a few times we had to follow up with double emails after waiting a week or two for a response. There was also one time we waited about a month for a reply, but since it was still four months before the wedding, it wasn’t too time-sensitive. But as the wedding day drew closer, communication improved. A little more communication leading up to the wedding would have been the cherry on top of an otherwise fantastic experience!
We loved working with Jason on our wedding day! We had a courthouse wedding so I was afraid photos would feel a little awkward for our small event but he came with a lot of ideas a...
nd made us feel totally comfortable. He was also more than happy to take any random photo we thought of, which was fun for everyone involved (new professional headshots for our siblings, a picture of my sister dancing under “Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour” movie sign at Saint Anthony Main Theater, family photo for our friends, etc) We would definitely recommend Jason to everyone, he will bring a very calming/fun vibe to your day!!

follow us around taking photos all day, but Jason was amazing at capturing every moment without making you feel like you had to stop what you were doing to catch a perfect shot. Our photos were beautiful and I'm so thankful to have such wonderful snapshots of our entire wedding day. The final results still brings happy tears to our faces. It was all perfect, and I will be asking Jason to do all of our photography for the rest of ever from now on. I could not recommend Jason more to anyone wanting beautiful photos of their wedding.

Jason and Maria photographed our day and made us feel like a million bucks. I wish they could be my hype team every day! We also booked Maria for hair and makeup which was amazing because she helped touch us up all day to ensure we looked fabulous until the very end!
Ultimately they captured the day so beautifully in photos that really take us back to the moment in time. I love how intimate the photos are of the two of us, the beauty of our ceremony and the celebration/movement of the reception! Will cherish the photos forever! Don’t hesitate to book Jason for your big day!

On the day of the wedding, Jason helped keep things running smoothly and made sure we got all the pictures we wanted. He used his creativity and the scenery of our venue to create beautiful shots. He had a second photographer with him who was also very friendly and they worked together to get all the best angles.
If you have a chance to work with Jason, do it, you will not regret it!

ember when we look back at the photos! He helped answered all our questions during wedding planning and offered great input in regards to our timeline. We thought we had enough good things to say about him and then we saw him in action at our wedding and WOW! We hired him for the top package which came with 10 hours and his gorgeous wife as the second shooter. We had SO MANY guests come up to us complimenting how nice and what a sweet couple these two make!! We seriously can’t say enough good things about J! We look forward to the next big life steps to hire him again!!

shooter and it was literally the most amazing experience. I can say with 100% certainty that our day would not have been as great as it was without them. Our family and friends absolutely raved about how awesome they were. The process was so stress free and our sneak peaks already came back and they are absolutely gorgeous. He was so amazing throughout the ENTIRE process. I would recommend him over and over and over again! Thanks J and Maria for helping make the best day even better!

h helps keep things light and fun! It helps that the finished product is amazing as well. We could not possibly be happier with how our pictures turned out. He regularly checked in with us to keep us updated on his progress and regularly gave us sneak peak pictures so we could get an idea of what he was doing. Each set of sneak peaks got us more and more excited to receive all of the photos! We can’t recommend him enough and we want everyone to know that your special day will be in the best hands with Jason behind the camera!
Jason was everything we could have hoped and dreamed for in a wedding photographer. From the first conversation, I knew that he was genuinely happy and invested in me and my husban...
d and supporting us through planning our wedding. He was so great with communicating even though we didn't meet until our engagement photos. That session was such a beautiful experience. My husband and I felt so comfortable and we couldn't stop talking about how much we loved him after our pictures. Leading up to our wedding, Jason went and looked at several locations for our couples photos. He was so open and honest about any and all questions we had. When our wedding day came, our favorite moments were all during our couple's photos because of the atmosphere that Jason created. It was obvious that Jason was so happy and excited for us, and his encouragement and positivity throughout the day showed that. From the bottom of my heart, I cannot express how thoughtful and talented Jason had been throughout that experience. I highly recommend him to any person I meet! He is a phenomenal photographer and a lovely person to work with. Hire him. You wont be sorry!
Jason was truly an AMAZING photographer to work with! He is so fun to be around, and he makes shoots with him feel like hanging out with a long lost friend. We booked him as our ph...
otographer for our wedding, and met with him once prior to do an engagement shoot. He is very professional and always willing to hear what we wanted out of our pictures, as well as to offer advice if we had questions. Most importantly, the quality of the photos Jason took for us was absolutely incredible. They turned out better than I could have possibly imagined, and it was clear that Jason took care to make sure every minor detail of each photo was up to his standard. I couldn't stop looking at them! With all of the stress that can go into a wedding and occur on the day of, I couldn't have been more grateful that Jason was our photographer- his calming demeanor and ability to adapt as the day changed was exactly what we needed. 100/10 recommend using Jason as your wedding day- or any other event photographer!

rvous about taking engagement photos in front of someone, don’t be. Jason made my husband and I feel so comfortable and we had fun laughing during the session.
Come wedding day, Jason and his wife (our second photographer), were right on time, ready to go, and dressed very professionally (nothing that’ll make them stand out at my wedding!). The entire day was flawless and they were key to making it that way.
We’ve received our photos and are in LoVe with them. Not a bad one in the bunch!
Highly recommend Livingood Photography for your wedding or family photos.
