The best!

McCardell Photography is the BEST! Jonathan was great to work with for our wedding from start to finish! He was communicative during the planning stages of our wedding, planned out every detail for photography and executed it flawlessly, helped us maintain our timeline on wedding day, and worked efficiently. He is organized and knows how and where to capture the best shots, helped us pose, and he was so much fun to work with. Our photos are absolutely stunning! His work is high quality and the work of a true artist. The photos are not over edited or over filtered; they are very classic photos that will continue to look beautiful in the years to come. If we were to get married again, we would definitely choose McCardell Photography again and again.

Loved working with Jonathan!

Jonathan was so great to work with! He was recommended by our wedding venue and we hired him to do our engagement photos as well. He's a very chill photographer but was also super efficient getting all our bridal party and family photos - both qualities that are a must for a wedding day! It was rainy on our wedding day, but he improvised and made all the photos look amazing and we even got an awesome shot in the rain after sunset! We would definitely work with him again and highly recommend to anyone!

Excellent experience with the McCardell team!

Where do I begin with my praises for Jonathan and Renee?! From our first interaction with them, my husband and I knew that we wanted them to join us on our special day! They are extremely friendly and professional to work with. The photographs look AMAZING! Jonathan captured all of the special moments with such perfection that I feel like I am reliving each moment as I browse through them. HIGHLY recommend them for all your events!

Wonderful experience with McCardell Photography

McCardell Photography was a great choice for our wedding photography! We are very happy with our pictures and are so glad we chose them to capture our special day. We originally were scheduled to get married in May 2020, but had to postpone twice due to COVID. They were so gracious and understanding throughout the whole process, making it as stress-free as possible for us during such a stressful year. We would (and will!) enthusiastically recommend their services to anyone looking for a photographer in the Greensboro area and beyond.

Beautiful photography

My husband and I originally hired Jonathan to photograph our wedding on 10/10/20, then COVID hit. Jonathan was extremely understanding and willing to work with us to not only reschedule for next year, but also to add on a date for this year and photograph our intimate ceremony on 9/27. Jonathan arrived early, scoped the venue out and chose perfect spots for our pictures. The fact that Jonathan was shooting alone and still managed to capture my husbands face as I walked down the aisle and my reaction to him standing at the end of the aisle is incredible. He captured every significant moment flawlessly. The pictures came out absolutely beautiful and we could not be more pleased!! Jonathan has such a fun personality and really makes everyone feel so comfortable. I would highly recommend the McCardell's and we cannot wait for our pictures for next year's celebration!

They are so sweet and very professional!

My husband and I wouldn’t have trusted anyone but them to take the pictures on the most important day of our lives. They were awesome and the pictures look amazing!

Thank You!

We loved working with McCardell Photography for our wedding in October. We interacted primarily with Jonathan and he was so friendly, responsive, and personable. We got our photos back about three weeks after our wedding and we absolutely love every single one! We are so grateful that all of the special moments from our wedding day were so beautifully captured!

Jonathan and Renee were an absolute photography dream team for my May 27th wedding! They have such a creative way of capturing the perfect lighting and angles in every picture. My bridal party and family commented that the McCardell's are personable, professional and fun to be around! I got my pictures back within two weeks of my wedding and I love every single memory that was captured! Every time I contacted the McCardell's during the planning process, they responded very promptly and made me feel that I had hired the best photographers around. The McCardell's make you feel like you are family. I was honored that they were such a big part of the happiest day of my life!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

McCardell Photography is top notch. I was amazed at the results of our mutual clients' wedding day. There are some technical "challenges" I check to make sure a photographer is "professional". They passed the test in flying colors. Not only can they work in any condition, but their work overall is soooo lovely!

McCardell Photography has been in business for a long time. There's a reason for that! They recently shared some images of our horse and carriage from a wedding we did together at Belmont Events in Reidsville. Gorgeous photos. Thank you, Dianne Duffy Carolina Weddings and Wagons

Jonathan and Renee have performed many weddings together. Their work is more than being great photographers; their photos tell a story about the subject---what that person was feeling or thinking when that shot was taken. Above all else they're just as easygoing as can be. Highly recommended.
