A Frame Forward Photography

ce. We were extremely dissatisfied with our engagement pictures that we decided to fire him a month before the wedding. Out of the 66 pictures we received, we liked maybe 6. Ultimately, we didn’t want to like less than 40 pictures from our wedding day over 10 hours of coverage, and we didn’t want to hate looking back at our wedding day. In summary, most pictures had awkward poses, unflattering angles, and weird editing. We also had delivery issues with Jackson. We took the engagement pictures on Monday, 5/13 and never heard back from him for the next 3 weeks, so I reached out on Tuesday 6/4. He said he hoped to finish them by Sunday evening. On Monday 6/10 at 1:13 AM, he emailed us stating that he needs another day to wrap up the rest of our images. On Tuesday 6/11 at 12:59 AM, we finally got them back. We wanted these pictures because we had a short engagement and I wanted to send out invites ASAP for our September wedding. In the end, it didn’t matter because we didn’t feel good about using any of them for our invitation. Knowing we might have issues with delivery time, later on I asked during a call if he can provide any wedding day sneak peek picture. I thought it was a fair question because they’re common and standard in the industry, but I was taken aback when he immediately asked “do you just need them for posting”? Truthfully, we fired Jackson because we lost trust in him and didn’t want him on our wedding day anymore. In hindsight, the amount of pictures delivered for the amount of money charged was a big red flag. I'm genuinely shocked by the positive reviews I read before signing the contract. Please consider looking elsewhere to find your photographer - you might save money and receive more and better-quality photos with more coverage hours and faster delivery time.

We scoured the internet when we started our search for the perfect photographer and once we came across A Frame Forward, we knew we found the one. Jackson didn’t just give us wedding photos, he gave us works of art that truly captured our day. We only gave him a few “must have” photos that we needed, and the rest was up to him. He did not disappoint! Some of our favorite photos are just the guests interacting after the ceremony (the moments we missed in real time) and now we feel like we were a part of their conversations the whole evening. He would be on the floor or under a table, hiding behind a corner or up on the balcony. We were surprised we didn’t see him repelling from the ceiling, but some of the photos suggest that maybe he did! We did wonder how one person was going to be able to capture every aspect of the day, but Jackson did it all and more. (We still aren’t entirely sure that there was just one Jackson running around our wedding...) Besides the amazing photos, he is VERY likeable and we had fun with him at the wedding! It felt like we had a friend taking our photos and he made sure we got to know him before the big day. He was also very personable with our guests and his interactions with them are what created so many special photographic moments. We received many compliments from our guests about Jackson. We will treasure these photos always and we cannot thank Jackson enough. Now to find enough wall space to frame them all… -David and Jodi

d asking who took them. Can't recommend him enough!

to get it all in here. Jackson was (and is) the most talented photographer, and the kindest, easygoing man we could have dreamed to have a part of our day. He truly went above and beyond that day/evening, and the finished products: Jaw dropping gorgeousness. From the very beginning of the day to literally up until the moment he finally went home, he was capturing every moment, and most of the time we had no idea where he was. Inconspicuous, but o, so very present. The photos are beyond stunning ladies. BEYOND. Both my husband and I agree, Jackson is was one of the best decisions we made while planning our wedding For me, one of the most important aspects to finding a photographer was how they interacted with us, and more importantly my husband as he tends to have a “cheesy” smile when posing. Within 5 minutes I knew Jackson was the perfect fit. He was an easy conversationalist, made us both feel so comfortable, listened intently to my questions and what we felt was important, and even asked questions about us just to know us as a couple a little more. To say Jackson is a people person is an understatement. (again, Ladies- the pics were amazing, my husband has not ONE cheesy smile in ANY of our photos!) Now I have to share how great he was with my entire wedding party. 8 bridesmaids, 8 groomsmen, 1 junior groomsmen, and 1 junior bridesmaid, 3 ushers, 2 flower girls (one just barely one years old), one ring bearer, and 1 personal attendant. Jackson had a lot of people to manage, capture, wrangle, and work with. But as the photos show, and as my gut told me the first time we met him, he rocked it. Everyone looks fabulous, got along great, and I heard across the board that everyone loved our photographer. He made the day easy, and just rolled with our schedule. Everyone was comfortable and his “let’s try this” was well taken by everyone, creating some of the most beautifully perfect images that we never would have thought of on our own. There were some very specific, important images that I dreamed to have taken on our day, pictures that would require more time on the clock after a long day for our photographer- yet Jackson agreed almost immediately when I asked and explained its meaning. These extra pieces are what make Jackson stand out. It’s not just his talent you get when you hire him, but it is his kind and thoughtful personality, and the care and heart he puts in to your day and images. One of the most common “big regrets” I’ve heard and read from brides is that they skimped on a photographer. Photos are the biggest part of your day. Go for quality for the greatest day of your lives. If you’re working with a tight budget as we were, you may see this as a stretch- but I promise you, if you get the privilege to work with Jackson you will not regret it in any way, and you find he’s worth way more than you paid. We have all of these amazing moments captured in the best way, in the best light, with the most amazing smiles plastered on our faces. Images that we will not only display predominately throughout our home, but so many that will be shared with our future family for years to come. Thank you Jackson. For everything.
