The absolute best for your wedding photographer

Jason is the absolute best we could have asked for in a wedding photographer. He went above and beyond of anything we could have hoped for. He is kind, passionate, and patient all while being efficient in order to have the most seamless and perfect day. I would give 5+ stars if I could over and over again!!! He is the one!!

Jason the man. The myth. The legend.

I’ve had the pleasure of getting to know Jason over the years through working in the wedding industry as a bridal hairstylist. When my fiancé and I got engaged, I knew immediately we needed to book Jason. I have worked with many photographers over the years, and when I say no one compares to Jason, I truly mean it. He was the one vendor I wasn’t willing to compromise on.

As someone who gets stressed easily, I knew he would be the calm presence we needed on our wedding day. He is not only professional, but he also has a gift for making you and everyone around him feel like a lifelong friend or family member.

Our wedding day started calm, and then chaos hit. Through it all Jason stayed calm and helped keep everyone else calm too. When we started getting behind, he remained chill and reassured us that everything was fine. When I say our wedding party was like herding cats, I’m not kidding, but Jason rose to the occasion and I am forever grateful.

When you book Jason, you’re not just getting a photographer but you’re also getting someone who truly goes above and beyond. Need help with your veil? Getting your dress buttoned? He’s there.

Everyone from our wedding party to our families, friends, and guests has commented on how much they loved Jason and the sneak peeks he sent (in record time). Every single photo tells a story filled with emotion, laughter, and love. Looking at our photos feels like reliving every moment all over again. That is the kind of photographer Jason is. If you’re on the fence, he is worth every single penny. He hasn’t just gained a forever client in my husband and me, but also in our families. We cannot recommend Jason enough to capture any milestone in your life, but especially your wedding day. Forever grateful for Jason, his friendship and his eye for detail!

Photographer of your dreams!

We truly cannot recommend Jason enough! I knew I wanted him to photograph our wedding, even before we were engaged, so our wedding date had to align with his availability. One of the best decisions we made!

We are OBSESSED with our wedding photos and cannot say enough amazing things about Jason. From the very beginning, his energy, professionalism, and passion were unmatched. The vibe was fun, effortless, and completely stress-free. He has an incredible gift for capturing real moments—the happy tears, belly laughs, quiet in-between glances—without ever making anything feel staged or forced. Our entire day felt real and natural.

On top of being insanely talented, he was an absolute blast to work with. Communication was flawless, attention to detail and organization was next-level, and his fun, upbeat personality made everyone feel instantly comfortable. Our friends and family are still raving about him—and how beautiful the photos turned out.

Our wedding photos are an absolute dream—they’re fun, emotional, and timeless all at once. Our wedding day flew by in a blur, but I'm beyond grateful to have all of the pictures to cherish forever. I can't wait to have Jason capture all our future life events! We can't recommend him enough. Put your trust in Jason, and he will deliver beyond expectations!

Photographer of Your Dreams!

We cannot recommend Jason enough! I found his work prior to getting engaged and solely based by wedding date around his availability. He has an uncanny ability to capture the raw emotion of a wedding day without making it look "staged" or unnatural. I fell in love with the way he is able to capture the small moments -a tear on your grandfathers face, your nephew falling asleep on your moms chest, children playing during the reception, etc. He catches moments that you don't even realize are happening. His artwork is a story of the best day of my life, and he told it amazingly well.

From start to finish, he is a kind, thorough, and receptive vendor. I cannot stress this enough, his communication and attention to detail is unlike any other wedding vendor that we had. We received compliments about Jason all day (and still do!). Everyone was so impressed by his professionalism and upbeat personality. He fit right in with our wedding crew - like we had known him for years!

Our wedding photos are a DREAM and I will cherish them forever! If you want wedding photos that will make your jaw drop and cause people to gush about, book Jason! You won't regret it!

Beautiful photos and a truly wonderful experience!

Jason is truly the best of the best! We had the great privilege of having him capture our wedding in August 2025 and it was one of the best decisions we could have made!

From the initial consultation through the delivery of our final wedding gallery, Jason was so kind, thoughtful, and just overall wonderful to work with. He also brought a calming and fun presence to our wedding day and made the process a breeze for two people who are generally not so comfortable in front of the camera!

We are so thankful for his incredible talent and beautiful photos that we will cherish forever. Look no further than Jason Thomas Crocker Photography to exceed every expectation for your wedding!!

Best money we have ever spent.

Jason has an intangible gift for capturing love and emotion in a photograph. His talents are priceless to us, and we would hire him again without question. We even chose our wedding date based on his availability. Jason’s genuine vibe and kindness made it easy for us to feel comfortable in front of his camera.

We had so many friends and family members make comments throughout the wedding day and after about how great Jason was. It truly means the world to us that Jason would spend time away from his family to share his talent with us on such a special day.

We were speechless when the full gallery came back. The gallery was polished, full of emotion, and clearly told the story of our wedding day. We will cherish these photos for the rest of our lives.

TLDR: Hire Jason. You will not regret it.

5 Stars Hands Down

Jason captured every special moment of our wedding perfectly. One photo of my husband’s grandfather holding the rings of his late grandparents, with his brothers behind him, is a memory our family will cherish forever.

Jason’s work is heartfelt, timeless, and deeply meaningful. Highly recommend for any photography needs!
