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!

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!

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!

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.
