Jason is incredible. He is a talented photographer and storyteller, and a great business person to boot! He is exactly who you want your friends and family to interact with your w...
edding day. I would highly recommend him to any person looking to capture the essence of their wedding day and of their beloved family and friends.
Regarding the business perspective: my partner and I planned our wedding from afar and from the start Jason was responsive and easy to work with. I admire that he didn’t pressure us on hurrying to book the way other photographers did and he made the time to connect with us. He was also able to process photos quickly and with high quality.
Regarding the photos: we purchased his engagement and wedding day package and I could not be happier and think he was priced very competitively. My partner and I had previously had engagement photos done with another vendor and their quality was not even comparable to Jason’s. Because of Jason’s photo journalistic nature and our desire to avoid a lot of staged poses Jason built a beautiful story of us and our engagement and wedding day. His photos are striking, surprising, and beautiful. He captured heartfelt moments that I did not see during our wedding, too. Our friends and family are in love with the photos that we have shared with them and we are so honored to have had Jason capture our wedding day. I cannot wait to look at these photos for years to come and relive our wedding day!
This guy! We were so thrilled to book him for our wedding this past June, he is so talented. He is quick with responding and easy to work with. The photos are so unique and turned ...
out better than we imagined. Highly recommend if you're looking for something different than every day photos!
My fiance proposed in 2015 and I immediately started planning. Most venues and photographers didn't want to give me a quote because my wedding date wasn't until 2018. Not only did ...
Jason give me a quote, he was willing to meet in person! Three years is a long time to stay in touch but he kept reaching out to make sure I knew he hadn't forgotten about me.
Jason made the engagement pictures and the whole wedding day easy and fun. He's laid back enough to go with the punches, take posing suggestions, but professional enough to keep things moving. I asked him to meet with us at 10am the morning of but we never discussed when he would leave. He didn't leave that night until 10pm! The photos came out creative and stylized enough to be fun, but not over the top that they won't age well. He has a keen eye for candid shots and "out takes" which is the true reason I chose him. Looking through almost 1,000 photos he sent back, I was able to relive the day through my guests eyes.
The whole wedding day is a whirlwind of activity and in my case, an out of body experience. It didn't feel like a day that was happening to me, but around me, and we picked the perfect photographer to capture the crazy moments and the small moments.
Best Decision Ever!!! From the engagement pictures to our wedding pictures, I am 110% happy with my decision of hiring Jason. I didn't want boring, overly posed pictures and I knew...
we would definitely kick up a notch at the reception so I wanted someone who could capture that fun and joy and give us a natural look and he did not disappoint. I'm so in love with my pictures and have had nothing but compliments from any one who has seen them. Not to mention that he is just a kick ass person and went out of his way to accommodate some unexpected occurrences which for that, I am eternally grateful. It was fantastic working with you Jason!
My partner and I recently eloped in New Orleans, and as we were leaving all of our family and friends back home in Australia we knew it would be important to get some good photos. ...
Once we found Jason though, we no longer had to worry about that at all. His interest and excitement to work with us was instantaneous! Communication between us was very prompt and thorough, as he tried to find out exactly what we were looking for and put together a package that very much suited our needs and budget.
The day of our Wedding we were once again put at ease once getting to meet Jason in person. Not only had he put a lot of thought into planning a day that was full of amazing locations, but he was also an incredibly nice guy to spend time with. Considering we were so far away from home, it was quite a nice feeling to have such a great guy to share our day with. Jason is now very much a good friend of ours!
We are now back home in Australia, and within weeks of our Wedding Day have received our photos back from Jason. Everything he sent us is beyond amazing! Not only do we now have an album full of incredible looking photos, we have an album full of great memories! Jason has captured the spirit of the day perfectly, and delivered some really cool and original photos! Everyone we have shown them to have been blown away, and remarked on how much it feels like they were there just by seeing them. No detail was spared! We could not be happier with what Jason has done for us, and will always be grateful for the effort that he put into his work!
If you are currently looking for a unique photographer, stop searching now, you've found your guy!
Jason traveled to Madeline island to shoot our wedding this past August and we are blown away by his pictures. From the minute we met him we knew his laid back, cool, journalistic ...
style was just what we were looking for and he did not disappoint! He came to our home the day before the wedding to see the house and where we were envisioning pictures to get an idea of exactly what we were looking for. He caught all the right details and created stunning photographs that weren't posed or typical boring wedding photography but instead something really unique and special that captured the day perfectly! And at a very reasonable price! He was happy to travel back and forth from where my husband and I were getting ready accommodating us in every way he could. He made us all feel comfortable and was fun to have around. As for the reception we didn't even know he was there but captured everything and didn't leave until he had ensured he got all the moments we wanted. He delivered us photos within 2 weeks as promised and has been very helpful with ordering and creating our album as well. I highly recommend Jason to anyone looking for beautiful wedding photographs that will really stand out and be unique to your day. Two Thumbs up for creativity, price, professionalism and service.
We hired Jason to photograph our wedding this October. We booked him last fall, and are so glad he was still available for our dates. He was incredibly responsive and easy to work ...
with, including graciously letting us reschedule our engagement pictures twice due to poor weather (we had our hearts set on an outdoor location). Both my then-fiance and I were nervous, but he put us at ease right away, making the whole experience feel fun and easy. He had great suggestions, but also let us be ourselves and captured who we are as a couple.
On the big day he again rolled with the punches (I was 20 min. late!) and took stunning photos, both portraits of our family and wedding party, and amazing ceremony photos. We were married outside, and he captured the setting perfectly. One of our favorite parts of the whole day was sneaking away before dinner to take some photos of just myself and my new husband walking around the orchard. It was a beautiful, peaceful experience, and completely stress-free because we knew we could trust Jason to do his thing. It seemed like he knew exactly when to step forward and take a photo, and when to melt into the background and capture the candid moments. I got the photos back in under two weeks and they were breathtaking. I am so incredibly glad we went with a professional photographer, these are photos I am so excited to share with friends, family and future generations. We looked at other photographers in our price range, but felt that Jason was above and beyond and that we were actually getting one of the highest quality photographers out there. He was incredibly professional and fun to work with, I could not be happier!
We met for a few drinks and inked the deal. Little would we know that Jason would become our friend.
He showed up right on time for the engagement shoot and introduced us to Mi...
nneapolis again. I hate pictures, and honestly by the end of the day I didn't mind looking at a camera. That says a lot about Jason.
He showed up early for the wedding shoot and spent the day with us. It was like hanging out with our old friend.
By getting to know us, Jason got to tell our story. It's intimate work and Jason's photos speak to us every time we look at them. Jason is the real deal; a bomb-ass artist who shows up and tells a beautiful story through his lens. If you're looking for cookie cutter crap, look elsewhere. If you're looking for something that is real and speaks to you, give Jason a call. Thanks, man.
We wanted something outside typical posed wedding pictures, and were incredibly impressed and delighted. Jason blended in with the scenery, so we were not even aware we were photo...
graphed most of the time - which created a relaxed and happy atmosphere. He has an eye for angles you don't always see, and even the ones where we did pose - were filled with laughter and spontaneity. His pictures were featured in New Orleans article on nola.com "flowers are out, little dogs are in as newest wedding accessory" by Jon Kemp, if you want to catch a glimpse of something extraordinary. Our memories of that day and night were totally caught by Jason. We could not be happier! Christine Morris
I cannot say enough good things about Jason. He is easy going, approachable, responsive, artistic, has incredible talent.. My wedding photos are simply stunning. He has captured mo...
ments and details that I (the bride) wasn't even aware of. Looking through the photo gallery is like re-living my wedding through the eyes of someone far more attentive and creative. His slogan of "Never Boring, Always Amazing" couldn't be more true. He put us at ease and brought out the best in us. And on top of all that, he's super cool AND he referred me to the perfect wedding DJ, thus saving me countless hours of scouring the inter-webs. Thank you Jason!!!!!!!!!!
Jason shot our wedding on the North Shore and I was a little nervous about pictures on the water because I've seen some really bad ones, but Jason got it right. He got it better th...
an right! They are AMAZING! We couldn't be happier with our wedding photographs. Plus we're having a hard time narrowing down which ones we want to print since they're all so good! Jason is SO talented and knows how to get the best pictures out of a couple, which is a lot to be said considering how uncomfortable, stressed out or nervous you can be during photos.
We liked Jason personally from the first meeting. He's laid back, knows his stuff and friendly. Definitely enjoyed having him around all day at the wedding. His prices, packages and talent are far better than most other photographers'. We went with Jason because his photos are interesting to look at (no boring wedding photos for us!) and because there isn't any BS during the process. You know exactly what you're gonna get and you're not going to be counting to make sure you received your "guaranteed" number of pictures. It was an easy and smooth process working with Jason from beginning to end. Highly recommend Jason if you want someone who keeps things easy during a stressful time and can produce great photos.
I would recommend Jason to anyone. We'll definitely use him for any personal shots in the future too!
Jason takes amazing photos. We are so happy with both our engagement and wedding day shots. In addition to taking great, great photographs, Jason was responsive and easy to work wi...
th from the very first email. He is trustworthy, reliable, and easy-going. We loved that he is forthcoming about his pricing on his website, and found him to be that way in person, too. On the big day Jason needed very little from us. He is experienced enough to get the cool shots, and planned ahead enough to get the shots we'd discussed in advance. We also received our photos quickly after our wedding--a major plus. We could not recommend Jason more!
Jason and Melissa were the best in so many ways. I believe that it is important for wedding photos to truly capture the emotion of joy, laughter, and love of the people on that spe...
cial day. That is exactly what we got from Jalbus Photo's beautiful pictures! Jason and Melissa are so real and they have an eye for the creative aspects of these emotions! It is so obvious there is passion for photography with these two! They make you as comfortable as can be and blend into the day, capturing so many details.
I was truly blown away when I saw my son's wedding pictures, they are absolutely perfect and match their personality! So many friends have commented that they have never seen such amazing wedding photos. If you're reading this review wondering if you should book them-do it now!
Thanks to Internet and "Social" media, I'd been aware of Jason's photography before we even began our search for a wedding photographer.
So, when his name kept coming up as a su...
ggestion from others, it wasn't a difficult decision.
And it was the RIGHT decision.
Jason captured the day with marvelous and beautiful pictures! He has a knack for catching the most subtle loving glances.
Also, these pictures are very fun! We wanted our pictures to capture who we were, rather than just be the typical wedding shots. Jason was on board. He listened to what we wanted and offered some great ideas. Our pictures are artful, they're playful, they are perfect.
Jason and his 2nd photographer were fantastic to work with. They were professional and supportive. They were unobtrusive, but weren't afraid to speak up when they knew they could get a great shot.
Jason delivered the edited photos very quickly, and it has been such a blast looking at them and sharing them with friends and family.
If I could do it all over, I wouldn't hesitate to book Jason. Hire him for your wedding ASAP!
Jason has the most gentle, patient and organic way of capturing your wedding day. He is not there to interfere with the authentic moments of your wedding, rather, he is somewhere ...
very close by snapping timeless shots.
Jason has a natural feel for capturing the feelings around him. which for me, was my favorite part about him. we had many photographers that day, but Jason's photos resonate a very warm feeling, and most closely replicated my viewpoint of my wedding.
The only thing I wish, was that I had more photos with family and friends. But, that was poor planning on my part and the fact that I am just madly in love with my husband and wanted to just dance my face off with him.
He is an extremely talented photographer, just really really freaking amazing! also, I think the fact that he has a natural intuition for the mood around him, makes his photos full of life. I enjoyed his calm demeanor, it helped me feel at ease because I usually am more of a behind the camera sort.
he has incredible spatial concepts, focus, and creative angles. his editing skills are incredible and his turn around time will make you gasp and so so so damn excited!!
i will be referring Jason to all my clients and keeping in touch with him as a great friend!
BOOK HIM!
Jason was great!!!! We were a little hesitant to hire someone from out of state, though we loved his work so much we decided to just go for it. We are so happy we did! He was every...
thing we could of asked for plus more! He was professional, fun and helped put everyone at ease. He not only captured moments of our wedding but captured the essence ( I know cheesy, but true)!
We received a couple photos quickly and the rest of our photos two weeks later. We could not of asked for a better photographer! Choose Jason:)
Jason was the right person to have capture our day. We were so lucky! He was very easy to talk to over email. We were planning our Minnesota wedding from Los Angeles. Very difficul...
t. I do not recommend. We put an ad on Craigslist looking for a photographer who was available on our day and he answered our prayers. We had a very busy schedule when we got into town, 10 days before the wedding. He was able to meet with us where we were go going to stay and take photos. His personality is friendly and very laid back. I instantly felt comfortable around him. He's an observer. This is reflected in the type of photos he takes. The day of the wedding he arrived on time ready to go. He was very respectful of my space and didn't get in the way. I wasn't at all nervous or overwhelmed, but if I had been, his respect and compassion would have been even more appreciated. He asked a few times throughout the day to let him know if his photo suggestions or ideas were too much. I really appreciated him checking in because I felt cared for. He got photos of my dress while I was getting my hair done. Everything just fell into place. He was right on time with the photos we did before the wedding. (The guys and family had their time and then the girls/bridesmen and family had their own time. We did first look the traditional way - down the aisle!) He and our videographer were very patient while they waited for me to get into my dress. I wasn't distracted by Jason during the ceremony. I did notice him in certain spots and was happy he was capturing the moment, but he was very undercover during the actual ceremony, which I really appreciated. NOW - for the group photos after the wedding. Jason was spectacular. He kept us moving, but never pushed us. He knew where he wanted photos, where the best light was, his instructions on how to get the shot done were clear and uncomplicated. He went with the flow, taking suggestions from the peanut gallery (my father - an amateur photographer - was a bit bossy at one point.) After shooting photos, he saw me in my leather jacket getting ready to leave. He stopped me and asked to get a few quick shots with our car. A bride in a leather jacket (especially if it is fake leather) is pretty bad ass. He captured one of my favorite photos of myself ever. I am so overjoyed with how he captured our wedding. He is a nice person to boot. He sent us two teaser photos a couple days after our wedding. What a lovely treat to get a sneak peek!! I haven't seen the rest of our photos, but I will be sure to edit my review once that happens. From the teaser photos, they are going to be outrageously awesome. As Jason has prominently on his website - f*ck boring wedding photography.
We were so lucky to have found Jason. We had a lot of reccomendations for photographers from friends, but decided to take a chance on our instincts and go with the one that we fou...
nd listed as a "Rad Photographer" on Craigslist instead.
From the start, Jason had a great vibe. He managed to be professional, easygoing, and unconventional at the same time, which is exactly what we wanted. We had a great time running around New Orleans with Jason and absolutely love the pictures that he took. He nailed all of our requests and made even better suggestions. He was a huge help during the wedding, as we didn't have a planner and there were a few tricky moments where we needed someone to step in and give direction. He did this with skill and grace, for which I am grateful.
Finally, I can't say enough good things about Jason's level of service after the wedding. Not only did we have the fully edited photos within a week or so, but Jason went out of his way to re-send the engagement shoot photos to me months later after I accidentally deleted them.
I reccomend Jason to everyone who tells me that they're getting married, whether in New Orleans or beyond. If you want great photos and someone you'll enjoy working with, Jason is a great choice.
Jason was absolutely amazing and I couldn't have been happier with the pictures. He took the time to get to know my husband and I, our styles, and got along great with the families...
! He has a true eye for shots and when I look through the huge amounts of pics it's like I'm transported back to the moment. I can't speak highly enough of Jason, his work, and his professional demeanor.
Thank you Jason for capturing memories to last a lifetime!
I recently got married in Duluth Mn, we live in California so finding a photographer was really hard for us!! We wanted someone perfect of course for our perfect day! When I came a...
cross Jalbus photography I was in ahh. The photos were beautiful, the lighting was beautiful and Jason's blog was hilarious!!! At that time in my wedding planning I have given up on finding a good photographer due to budget.. I wrote Jason just to let him know what I thought of his page. He then did something amazing and we are forever grateful! He worked with our budget!!!! When we met for the first time we instantly felt so comfortable and more like friends then strangers! He came early to the wedding stayed late and worked harder then anyone else!!! Honestly you would of thought he was a family member! Everyone was so comfortable with him being around! When we received our photos we were not disappointed!!! They are beautiful just as we knew they would be. I didn't expect a lot out of Jason due to he worked with our budget but he truly gave his all and worked extremely hard! We are so thankful and would use him again In a heart beat!
Hiring Jason was one of the best decisions we made while planning our wedding.
We wanted a photographer who would capture the nuances; someone who could, with one image, bring ...
back a flood of memories from an otherwise chaotic day. Jason was that and so much more.
From our first interactions via e-mail up until we met in person he was not only professional, but personable. He simultaneously felt like a friend, a family member and a photographer.
He was easy to talk to and full of great suggestions. He was extremely helpful in orchestrating my vision, as well as articulating what I couldn't! He was incredibly flexible with his time, and was always calm, kind and funny. His warmth and sense of humor not only did wonders for my nerves, but his mere presence truly made the day that much better.
I absolutely feel like Jason's work gave me a different perspective of the day. His direction was flawless! His ability to not only notice the important things, but to capture them - it's unbelievable!
Going through our photos was an adventure. It was exactly what we were hoping for! I look at our wedding pictures and I smile, I cry and I relive the best day of my life. Every single time.
My fiancé and I were recently married Aug. 9th 2014 in northern Minnesota. We had heard about Jason through a friend and checked him out. Immediately upon meeting this dude, you wi...
ll know he has the laid back cool you would want from a photographer. He really got to know us as a couple and through the experience became like a part of the family!! He was super affordable and got shots that literally blew my mind. He captured the day perfectly through a artistic lens that turned our wedding into a work of art. No cheesy prefab wedding pics, but truly unique and beautiful pictures. Reliving it through his eyes was amazing. I would highly recommend Jason to any Bride and Groom. He will not disappoint, is super easy to work with and has mad skills!
Jason was great! We found him just a few months before the wedding. We chose him because of his website and the style of photography. He took photos like I wish I could take photos...
. He followed us around the Quarter and even took us in his car to places that we never thought of. He researched his venue and was very professional and cool. He even stayed longer than agreed upon, because he was in the middle of shooting an event. We really enjoyed having him there. Two weeks letter we had almost 500 beautiful photos. I have recommended him to friends all over and we would love to use him again.
Our wedding day was wonderful in every sense of the word, but when we got our pictures back we realized we can relive that day over and over again.
Jason is warm, kind, and eas...
ygoing. He knew when to ask us to pose for something, and when to sit back and get the candid shots of moments we would've missed.
At the end of the day we can talk about how fun he made the process, but what truly matters is the pictures. Jason Albus gave us the gift of reliving the best day of our lives any time we want. Stunning, gorgeous, and simply amazing...that is him, and that is his work.
Our wedding photos are absolutely perfect and beautiful. Jason captured our personalities perfectly. He made the entire process incredibly easy and stress free. We went to multipl...
e different locations with just my husband and I and the entire wedding party and Jason captured the very best of each location and managed our group of 12 with ease. He has an uncanny ability to make everyone feel comfortable and capture the very best candid shots. We couldn't be more thrilled with our photos and highly recommend Jason to everyone!
He did an awesome job and for really cheap!!! I got al copyrights to my pictures so i can do with them what I want!!! He spent 13 hours with me on my wedding day!!!!
