    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!

    McCardell Photography's reply:

    Hi Shannon, so glad you love the photos! It was wonderful spending the day with you all. Keep us in mind if you ever have a need for more photography! Thanks again, Jonathan

    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's reply:

    Hi Maryam,
    Thank you so much! It was so much fun photographing you all... and that dress! :-) So glad you are enjoying the photos, and we wish you all the best in your life together!

    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.

    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!

    McCardell Photography's reply:

    Hi Christine!

    It was an absolute joy working with you and Justin! We are so glad you love your photos, and we wish you all the best!

    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!

    I loved working with the McCardells for my wedding! I was familiar with their wonderful photography for several years prior having seen it in many settings including at some of my friends' weddings, but they were also such a pleasure to work with. They are very knowledgeable and explain the entire process so you don't have any questions. The day of the wedding was so much fun and the design of the wedding album has been a breeze. I would definitely recommend them to everyone!

    Look no further than the dynamic duo at McCardell photography. Ultimately you hope for the best and photos are so important to capture the moments of your wedding day, and there's no reason to not trust Jonathan and Renee to perform. They're prompt, responsive, creative, and flexible. We had a very unique cadence to our reception, and they captured all of it beautifully. We also had them come for our welcome dinner and "Sunday Funday" and those pictures are spectacular as well. Look no further.

    Wow what a great photographer!! Looking through a handful of 5 star photographers in the triad it wasn't hard to justify choosing McCardell... I think every photographer has their own "style" and McCardell photography is unique. I got the pleasure of working with Johnathan (although his wife also does photography) what a great eye!!! He will look up at the sun and the clouds and just know when and where he can get the best shots. He doesn't waste a second with a picture that he knows will be no good. That's the value that he brings... I did a bridal shoot and a wedding album and upon choosing pictures for both Johnathan pretty much had them layed out the way I would of done it with the very best pictures... needless to say there wasn't very much editing on our part. He goes to work and he doesn't play around. The day of our wedding we got several comments of how hard the photographer was working. It was pretty hot and we were all sticky and Johnathan was practically dripping wet and he seemed to enjoying every minute of it. Everywhere I turned he was right there, never missed a beat and out of all 700 something photos that we ended up with in the end it was very hard to even say that we would of tossed ONE photo. I mean they were ALL so incredibly good. Granted, we got married at the Graylyn Estate so we already had a BEAUTIFUL background but I would say the most impressive skill Johnathan had was utilizing every spare minute to make sure we got alll the family photos etc that we wanted. And I like that he doesn't make you do these crazy poses that make you look so unatural. His techniques are SUPERB and we knew we had the BEST from the beginning and I was shocked at how quickly he got everything back to us! McCardell photography = Proffesionalism in EVERY aspect.

    Jonathan and Renee are wonderful photographers and are great to work with. Jonathan did our engagement and my bridal photos before our wedding and they were gorgeous! They take the time to edit the photographs and work with you to pick out the best ones. I was in a wedding they photographed a few years ago and immediately knew I wanted them to be our photographers because they do such a fantastic job.

    My husband and I had our wedding at Childress Vineyard. Since we were fairly new to NC I had to do my fair share of research. In between Vineyard's recommended vendors list and my own research, my husband and I decided that we were most impressed with Jonathan and Renee's portfolio. We met with Jonathan and could tell right away that he is definitely knowledgeable and knew "what he was doing". He shared some ideas with us since he had been to Childress quite a few times. He showed us some photos of his recent weddings and we decided right away that Jonathan would be perfect person for capturing our beautiful day.
    He was very responsive of myself and the wedding planner. On the day of, he made sure that he captured every moment possible. Also since our wedding was outdoor, he definitely maximized beautiful scenery of the vineyard.
    After our photos were done, we met with him to finalize our photo album. Boy boy boy. was it hard to pick out only certain number of photos. lol. Seriously every photo he captured was breath taking. I got emotional again just looking through those photos. Wedding photos and album was done in a timely manner. I would definitely recommend Jonathan and Renee for any future brides.

    My husband and I are so glad we chose the McCardells to photograph our wedding day. The images turned out absolutely perfectly and we are so proud to share our photos with friends and family. Renee and her assistant were able to capture every detail and special moment of our day. The McCardells are true professionals and they were extremely easy to work with before, during, and after the wedding. We received our edited photos within a month after our wedding and the duo remained responsive to our questions/concerns throughout the entire wedding planning process. I highly recommend using two shooters if you have a large venue and not a huge amount of time. We are 110% satisfied with our entire experience and with the quality of services performed by McCardell Photography. We whole heartedly recommend them to prospective clients.

    We absolutely loved having Jonathan with McCardell Photography shoot both our engagement photos as well as our entire wedding and reception. As our reception was scheduled to be celebrated in a converted barn, we knew we needed someone very experienced with lighting and various camera angles to capture the essence of the environment. We found an experienced, hands on photographer who delivered for every shot! My husband and I knew that gorgeous pictures were of the utmost importance to our wedding experience so we could revel in the big day for years to come. Not only did Jonathan deliver beautiful pictures, but he was able to capture the moment by showing our guests' true personalities while using his uncanny, vision for each shot. We have already recommended this great husband and wife duo to our friends, and we hope everyone takes the opportunity to use them for their next big event! Cheers!

    Jonathan and Renee were so great to work with! They photographed our wedding in April 2016 and every part of the process was amazing. They were extremely professional, fun, creative, and very helpful. The pictures we have from our wedding are absolutely perfect! If you are looking for a photographer, look no further! They are well worth every penny we spent on photography for the wedding.

    We loved having Jonathan McCardell as our wedding photographer. The McCardells have a beautiful aesthetic to their photos and can capture candid moments that still look like a piece of art. They captured all the perfect moments and details, and provided good direction for us so we knew what to do and how to pose (and even how to cut our cake!) We highly recommend the McCardells - and we even hired them to capture our Rehearsal Dinner, which was equally awesome.

    Jonathan was so wonderful and easy to work with. When we were deciding on a wedding photographer, we immediately felt comfortable with Jonathan as we could tell by his ability to seamlessly answer all of our questions that he was both experienced and knowledgeable. He worked with us to make sure we got what we wanted out of our photos prior to the wedding. The day of, he was funny and made the whole experience stress free. He was easily able to accommodate what we wanted for our photos, despite the rain. He was able to put me at ease with his humor. Jonathan was able to capture every important moment of the night with very little direction from us, demonstrating how skilled he truly is. We were so pleased with how our pictures turned out and everyone who has looked at them has been in awe of how professional, beautiful, and creative they are. He even sent us a Christmas ornament with one of our favorite pictures, which was such a sweet and thoughtful personal touch. We loved working with McCardell and would recommend them to any of our friends looking for quality, creative, and beautiful pictures!
