  JD is absolutely phenomenal! His photographs are magazine-worthy and he is not afraid to experiment with light, setting, and other techniques to achieve unique and beautiful images. He is also very personable and professional, something that we appreciated all the more on our wedding day. For example, he made a potentially hectic/stressful family photo shoot effortless. His work speaks for itself (it's gorgeous and it tells a story) and we are so thrilled to have had the opportunity to work with him. We could not recommend him or his work more highly.

  My husband and I worked with JD Land, currently with Twisted Oaks Studio, for our wedding. We can not say enough wonderful things about JD and his work. We met with several photographers but ended up working with JD after just a few quick phones calls after he was recommended to us by another photographer. We had a great feeling about him through our conversations and trusted his work based on the photography on his website. We are absolutely thrilled with our wedding photographs. We could not be happier with our decision to work with JD. His work was impeccable and so incredibly creative. He is also very patient, calm and well organized; exactly what you need on your wedding day. I highly recommend JD.

  I stumbled across JD on WeddingWire about a week after he moved back to the area and I am so lucky I did! He was a bit of an undiscovered gem in the area when I first contacted them, but it's clear he's making a name for himself in the Philly/NJ wedding scene. There are some talented and popular wedding photographers in the area, but I wanted something different than all of my friends who were recently married, and I knew JD could deliver.
  
  From our first meeting he was clear and calm in what he needed to provide the service and photos I was looking for, while also being lots of fun and creative with a great eye for both classic wedding photography and more artistic approaches. He did a great job of making sure we were hitting our shot list without being intrusive. And most importantly he helped us turn a terrible weather day into an awesome and unique photo shoot!
  
  I believe he's become more competitive with his pricing since I initially booked him last spring, but he's still a fantastic value. He and his assistant were with us the entire 11-hour day, and their quality of service was excellent. So far the few photos I've seen have been incredible and I can't wait to get my hands on the rest!!

  If you are looking for the BEST photographer for your wedding, Two Fifteen Photography is the perfect choice. JD (Owner) is brilliantly professional and an artist of the highest caliber.
  
  He has an eye for the best shot and will capture your day in ways better than you could imagine. He will capture all the 'necessary' photos of the day, but he will also think outside the box and capture photos that will exceed your highest expectations.
  
  JD is not only a photographer, but also an excellent coordinator for your day to help keep things running smoothly.
  
  My wife and I couldn't be happier with him and his work! We are so happy we went with Two Fifteen Photography! Thanks, JD!

  JD is truly a pleasure to work with. He's laid back, gives you exactly what you want, and is imaginative with his work. After the wedding you are left with a stunning collection of touching photos that leave an impression that standard portrait wedding photography couldn't achieve.

  Jd was absolutely fantastic on our wedding day. Not only does he take incredible photos, but he was patient with us and took charge when needed. His creativity and eye for catching the best moments of our day was spot on. Can't say enough about him.

  I can't say enough good things about JD! He was so professional, and very laid back (which is exactly what we needed for our big day). He had a very artistic eye and took beautiful shots. I definitely recommend doing sunset photos!

  I spent forever trying to find the right photographer, and forever paid off. JD was one of the best people to work with for the wedding. From the very beginning, he was cool, calm, and collected, always prepared for whatever we threw at him, and willing to go with whatever we were interested in. His laid-back demeanor was extremely refreshing during the planning process, and even more refreshing during the actual day.
  
  And not only is he great to work with, he produces incredible work. My pictures are stunning, and I am extremely excited for the album that is in progress. For what he charges, in relation to his quality of work and attention to detail, hiring JD is nearly a steal. I'd recommend that anyone would choose him as their photographer, especially before everyone else realizes how awesome his work is, and he ends up booked a year in advance.
  
  It doesn't get better than working with a photographer like JD.

  We found JD through our wedding planner. He is relatively new to the area, and in my opinion an undiscovered gem. Although we were on a very tight timeline with our wedding and first met with him about a month before, he was always calm and collected and accomplished tasks when he said he would. For example he called multiple potential first-look locations that we were considering to make sure there would be no permitting issues (something I had not even thought of). We had a pre-wedding consultation with him to check out locations and he devoted to whole afternoon to us, did not rush us, and struck a fine balance between our suggestions and coming up with beautiful new shots for us to consider. He is incredibly calm and on the day of our wedding we had a great time traipsing to sites across Philly to take pictures - we never felt rushed or awkward with what we did and it really felt like JD tried to keep the focus on us and our wedding day. His assistant Jen was equally professional, kind, and helpful in making sure the wedding dress and hair looked good in pictures. Throughout the ceremony and reception, JD got key shots and coaxed smiles out of young nieces but was never in the way. Finally, the very next day after the wedding he had already uploaded key shots to an online gallery for us to use and share with family. These pictures are absolutely gorgeous and equal to (if not better, but I'm biased) the ones he highlights on his website. He also got great shots of dancing and moments I know I want to remember from the reception. All in all, I am so thrilled that we got to work with JD, Jen, and Two Fifteen Photography and would recommend him to anyone who wants a calm, professional, friendly, and truly talented wedding photographer.

  JD Land and assistant Jenn were creative, professional, and "everywhere" without being in the way of things. We enjoyed having them around and are really loving the memorable pictures we received.

  I first met JD as a fellow wedding professional and was instantly impressed. Not only was he extremely professional but obviously passionate about his work, it showed in his stunning photos! When I became engaged myself, JD was my first choice to introduce to my fiancé as I trusted him and his work. My fiancé was just as impressed with JD and he was the first vendor we hired to share our wedding day... even before we had a date and venue! From our engagement photos, to planning, to communication, to day-of our wedding, JD was always there 110%. He made us, our families, and friends feel comfortable and encouraged us to enjoy the day naturally. When we received our photos, we were absolutely blown away! The moments he was able to capture and the way in which he captured them were unparalleled to anything I had seen before. It’s safe to say that JD will be our only recommendation to other couples and we will hire him to capture other big moments in our lives. THANK YOU JD and Two15!!!

  JD of Salt and Sonder Studio (previously Two15 Photography) specializes in photojournalism and is an expert in candid photography. Unlike other self-proclaimed photojournalists, JD actively frames and composes shots as they are happening without interrupting the action. I believe he's developed this exceptional skill from his time taking wildlife photography (where you can't exactly walk up to the grizzly bear and politely ask it to shift a foot or two to the right). Even though the photos are candid (and we’ve all seen some pretty unflattering candid photos of ourselves), I’m amazed with how handsome/beautiful everyone looks in our photos. And to be completely honest, I don't remember even seeing JD during the wedding - you will not be interrupted so that you can live your perfect day.
  
  JD really takes his time to get to know you and your wedding party and even your guest list, all in the pursuit of “hunting” down the most special moments on your day. By understanding the special relationships that make up your wedding day, JD is able to prioritize which moments to look out for and capture. So BE HONEST with JD and really think about who are the important guests at your wedding – he will genuinely take it to heart in constructing the story of your day!
  
  Keep in mind that JD is masterful at photojournalism and absolutely favors this style - be honest with yourself if this style is compatible with your vision. I am thoroughly pleased with all of the portrait photos from our wedding, but there isn’t a lot of variety because we breezed through the formal portraits. If I’m being completely honest, I think I would’ve liked a little more time to try different poses during this session BUT this is NOT JD’s fault! JD stuck to the schedule we discussed and agreed upon.
  
  Again, JD is flexible, accessible, and exceptionally talented – be honest, communicate, and embrace his approach, I promise you’ll end up with the most beautiful visual retelling of your wedding day.
