About

Jason Knauer is a full service, independent, insured, social photographer serving the Baltimore and Washington DC metro areas. His packages center around value and quality, and all of his services include rights to reprint for the couple.

Jason entered the world of wedding photography as an assistant to one of Washington D.C.'s premier social photographers. This experience was invaluable in learning the trade in the high pressure, time, and image sensitive environment of society clientele. It afforded him the opportunity to hone his professionalism and craft at the most exclusive locations in the Mid-Atlantic.


With a style rooted in the contemporary tradition, Jason puts his own twist on classic images by applying a cinematographic approach. He prefers to set a scene and capture the emotions and expressions as they naturally flow, rather than pose heavy handedly to evoke contrived feelings. His gentle hints and tweaks give direction for his subjects to look their best, while remaining completely at ease. Jason has captured weddings in traditions from around the world and takes great care to both respect and immortalize these sacred moments. Jason approaches every wedding with the quiet confidence gained from photographing weddings for over seven years and the enthusiasm to tell each couple's story with romantic, timeless images that reflect the beauty and joy of the experience.

Jason was timely and thorough in response to emails from the beginning of the process. He spent a great deal of time with us in an engagement shoot getting to know our personalities, so that he knew how to work with us during the more stressful wedding day photos. His shots are great and his personality is fun. The proof album is a keepsake in & of itself and arrived shortly after the wedding. Thank you Jason!

Jason was phenomenal in every way! He provides an engagement session, that allows you to see his style and get to know him as a photographer. At the wedding, he was there for every step of the way. He was extremely professional, and captured the most beautiful pictures. Throughout the wedding, he would show me the pictures on his camera, let me know when he saw an opportunity for a beautiful picture, and was actively taking pictures to make sure he captured every minute. I also love that he gives you the complete rights to the pictures, which means that you can easily use the pictures from the engagement session for save the dates (which we did through vistaprint) and to create thank you cards. I enjoyed having Jason photograph our wedding, and I cannot wait to see the pictures! I would strongly recommend Jason for any wedding.

Jason shot our engagement photos and subsequent wedding photos. I cannont recommend him enough! My husband is legally blind; so, we were a little anxious about finding a photographer for our wedding. Jason immediately put all our worries to rest and told us it wouldn't be a problem....and he was right! We ended up with amazing photos that truly captured the emotions of the day. He was so easy and fun to work with and his prices are very reasonable.

We absolutely loved Jason as our wedding photographer this past weekend. He was so easy to work with and we were comfortable with him as soon as we met him. I had not met him before the big day and had no idea what we were in store for, and I truly feel like we lucked out with him. He had great ideas for photos, as well as went along with any ideas that we had and made them work. He even went out of his way to help us with some things that were not agreed upon in our package.
We have not yet seen all the pictures (the wedding was only a couple days ago), but what i did see on his camera were awesome.
We highly recommend Jason Knauer to anyone who wants a relaxed, professional photographer that is confident and kind. Thank you Jason for adding even more beauty to our night!

Jason was great. Our wedding photos turned out fantastic! We got married on the hottest day of the entire summer and they still looked awesome. He did a great job at taking outdoor pictures super fast and moving the huge bridal party around without chaos. He was a lot of fun to work with and got some great shots on the dance floor. I would recommend him to anyone. He also got some really cool non-traditional shots. Perfect for anyone not looking for boring/typical wedding portraits!

Jason did an amazing job at our wedding and was super fast in the turn around for the photos. He shot my brother's wedding the year before and we were very excited to have him shoot ours. The pictures turned out amazing and he captured the day beautifully!

Jason, you know how awesome I think you are! It was a "no-brainer" to hire Jason after my husband and I first met him. Jason is professional, honest, kind, considerate, punctual, and great with the camera. Our wedding pictures are absolutely breathtaking. Shots Jason captured on film are wonderful frozen moments in time from the most memorable and wonderful day of my husbands and my life. My family even commented on how discrete Jason is while photographing; it was like he was everywhere he needed to be without being in the way. I also liked the fact that he allowed our 200 guests also take pictures of us while he was photographing. Since our wedding on 05/30/09, I have referred several family members and friends to him and talk about him to all my soon to be engaged couples! Photography is one of the most important things in your wedding planning; be sure to make the right choice...I know my husband and I did :)

Jason Knauer is an amazing photographer. We were married on November 26, 2010 and our pictures were up on his website http://www.jasonknauer.com/Weddings days after! He is from Maryland, however, is very willing to travel within the Tri-State area. We were married at the Radisson in King of Prussia, and Jason found some great spots to take pictures within the hotel, so that no shot was the same. His portfolio is amazing, and has different packages for those working within a budget. I would highly recommend Jason Knauer for all photography needs!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
