When your wedding day finally arrives, the last thing you need is something or someone to worry about. You need vendors you can rely on, people you can trust with one of the most important days of your life. Maybe the cake or cupcakes are not-so-good, maybe the food and wine is so-so but photographs serve as the only record of your grand event! Memory is fleeting, photos are forever.

Jarda went above and beyond at my wedding last October, capturing special moments from my day -- my husband crying as he said his vows, my husband and I overjoyed with finally being married, my niece busting a move on the dance floor, my father-in-law tearing up during the vows -- he captured moments before, during and after!

In addition, Jarda created photographic moments, bringing energy and personality to the lens. While researching wedding photographers, I was worried I'd hire someone who left me with boring, run-of-the-mill photographs, missing all the unique moments of my celebration. Someone who just wanted a paycheck. Jarda was an expert, creating photographs capturing all the important moments but also with energy, flare and creativity, turning the photos into works of art. As well, he was a professional and seasoned veteran, capturing shots from all over the venue with ease and quiet talent. I hardly knew he was there! He made the day fun and easy and left me with amazing shots I will look back on for decades! Jarda also quickly sent me my photos and posted them at http://www.shindigphotography.com/kate-patrick-st-michaels-md-wedding/

It was above and beyond what I expected and left me with photos I will cherish forever.

Jarda was a perfect wedding photographer. We had a small intimate wedding because we wanted it that way, so having anyone else present was a big deal.

However, Jarda was totally unobtrusive, he respected our wishes to the letter and remained easy going and natural throughout. Even during the ceremony and taking of the vows I was never aware of him, and these most intimate moments were captured sensitively and beautifully.

The wedding photos have been universally admired, some say they are the best they have ever seen, we think so too - THANK YOU JARDA!

Shindig was awesome! Throughout the planning, day-of, and follow-up they were warm, thoughtful, and fun. I love our photos and so appreciate the way they captured the spirit of our event and of us! I highly recommend them!
