What They're Saying...
- McCardell Photography is the BEST! Jonathan was great to work with for our wedding from start to finish! He was communicative during the planning stages of our wedding, planned out every detail for photography and executed it flawlessly, helped us maintain our timeline on wedding day, and worked efficiently. He is organized and knows how and where to capture the best shots, helped us pose, and he was so much fun to work with. Our photos are absolutely stunning! His work is high quality and the work of a true artist. The photos are not over edited or over filtered; they are very classic photos that will continue to look beautiful in the years to come. If we were to get married again, we would definitely choose McCardell Photography again and again.read moreread lessAshley9/30/2024

- I am so glad that we chose McCardell Photography to capture our wedding day. Jonathan has been very organized and professional, he made sure he knew every detail of my plan and vision since before our wedding day. He made taking pictures fun and interesting, setting us up in cute poses that turned out so sweet. The picture quality is unbelievable, and our wedding pictures are absolutely gorgeous. I knew he was good, but was still in shock when I received them. We also got them pretty quick! I cannot recommend them enough!read moreread lessLucy M.5/22/2024
- McCardell photography did a great job with our wedding pictures. The quality of the photos and communication was excellent. I’m actually writing this review almost 3 years after our wedding because I lost access to my pictures and as soon as I contacted McCardell Photography they responded within minutes and restored access to my pictures. I don’t think all vendors would do this for a past client who is no longer paying them, so I wanted to let others know that McCardell Photography will continue to take care of you well after your special occasion!read moreread lessAlyson M.5/22/2024
- The photos are amazing!! My husband and I had a unique wedding venue and Jonathan and his team highlighted the beauty of the venue perfectly! Jonathan made me feel comfortable and confident while working his magic behind the camera. The memories we made with our family and friends are forever saved in the gorgeous photo album. You can feel all the love and happiness in each and every photo! Jonathan and his team were amazing to work with- they captured moments I’ll cherish forever. I’m forever thankful for all the time and care Jonathan put into my photos!read moreread lesssarah m.5/16/2024

- 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!read moreread lessShannon H.10/17/2023

- Highly recommend!! We hired Jonathan for our fall 2022 wedding, and worked out a package with him for our engagement shoot as well. We LOVED his energy, and we had so much fun with him! During our wedding, we had several guests who loved getting in the way of our photos, but Jonathan and Renee approached every situation with class, and we received the most beautiful photos! (Over 900!) We are beyond pleased with our experience with them, and plan on hiring them again for future shoots! Thanks again for such a great experience!

- Do not hesitate to have McCardell shoot your wedding!! I care a lot about having nice photos, so I spent a lot of time analyzing photographers and couldn't be happier with my choice. Jonathan was amazing to work with; he was a great mix of funny, friendly, and professional. He listened to my ideas and was willing to change things up to make my vision come to life, but he also wasn't shy about sharing his opinion on how it would look and providing even better suggestions. He has a really good eye for detail and posing with big groups or couple shots, which I appreciate! Finally, our timeline got a little messed up on the day of due to an issue with a different vendor, so I asked Jonathon if we could be flexible and swap the entire schedule around and he was so chill and supportive about it and managed the unplanned changes perfectly, which made me feel so much less stressed. He kept everything lighthearted and fun. The photos themselves turned out absolutely STUNNING. The McCardells have a very clean and classy style which I think is timeless. The hardest part is narrowing down to my favorites! You won't regret going with this photographer.read moreread lessChristy H.12/17/2022
- I can’t say enough about McCardell Photography! This was my first time booking a professional photographer and it was such a good experience! We first met with Jonathan via zoom to confirm wedding package details, time, location etc.. He was super easy to talk with and I was ecstatic to learn they had availability. As a pretty OCD bride, I honestly can say I didn't have to worry not one bit when it came to Jonathan and Renee. They were timely, responsive, FUN, and easy to work with! Not to mention, our pictures were absolutely breathtaking. Nearly impossible to pick a favorite as they did such a good job capturing the day in its entirety. Take this as your sign to book McCardell Photograhy.... you won’t regret it!read moreread lessAshley P.12/17/2022
- Jonathan was a pleasure to work with from day 1 on! He has a beautiful vision with his work and was able to work on a time crunch while still capturing all of the quality shots we wanted. He was communicative and present during the entire planning process and wedding. Can’t recommend enough!read moreread lessBlenda k.12/17/2022
- Our Chapel Hill High School Class of 1981 used McCardell Photography to capture our recent 40th high school reunion, belatedly held 5/21/2022. The McCardells were eminently flexible in working with us as our event date and details changed more than once due to COVID-related socialization restrictions. Jonathan was low-key and professional at our event, striking a nice balance between making himself available for whatever posed shots our classmates requested but not drawing attention to himself. For a couple of hours he floating quietly among us, collecting prize moments of people's spontaneous engagement with each other, talking and dancing. He has a real knack for capturing fleeting facial expressions. I was really pleased with the resulting album!read moreread lessSarah B.12/17/2022

- 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.read moreread lessCarrisa A.12/17/2021
- The nightmare began after the wedding for my daughter became impossible to have due to covid shutdown. I never heard from Jonathan about alternative needs or a refund of 1400$ deposit. No communication with me after I gave him my money for a package he never delivered until I emailed him and all I got was I’m sorry we have all been through a tough time this year. It was my money and should have been given back as no service was given. STAY AWAYread moreread lessSusanne L.4/28/2021
- We absolutely loved working with Jonathan and Renee. The day of the wedding they went above and beyond - not only did they take amazing pictures, but Renee even sewed up a bridesmaid's dress when her zipper broke. We got so many compliments on our photographers, and the photos are stunning. Would 100% recommend McCardell Photography :)read moreread lessStephanie S.12/17/2020
- I worked with McCardell Photography for a commercial shoot and was so impressed with how the photos turned out. In my initial phone call with them we discussed general direction for the photos but they really brought the products to life with their photography. The photos were extremely high quality and everything printed beautifully for our large trade show booth. I'd highly recommend them!read moreread lessSusan B.12/17/2018
- McCardell Photography did an outstanding photoshoot for my business recently. Jonathan was exceptional in his work and he was very personable too. McCardell Photography did an 8 hour shoot of a luxury new construction residential property - mostly the kitchen, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. I would highly recommend McCardell Photography. Scott Koehler President Dream Kitchen Buildersread moreread lessscott k.12/17/2017
- Absolutely loved working with the McCardells! The pictures from both my bridal shoot and wedding were gorgeous! Jonathan and Renee were easy to work with and made both my husband and I feel so comfortable while we were taking pictures. I never even noticed them during the ceremony, but they got so many amazing shots almost like they were standing at the altar right next to us. Wedding photographers are going to be expensive no matter who you go with, but I don't regret a penny we spent hiring wonderful photographers who did an excellent job. They also put together our wedding photo album and it is the most exquisitely put together album I have ever seen. I would never have been able to put together something that came anywhere close to what the McCardells designed. I highly recommend the McCardells to anyone looking for professional photographers who are fun to work with and will do an excellent job of capturing your special day!read moreread lessCourtney K.12/17/2017
- 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.read moreread lessBear R.12/17/2017
- 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!read moreread lessNicole D.12/17/2017
- Renee is a pleasure to work with, especially for someone who is as camera shy as myself. She is an absolute sweetheart and I loved how she integrated herself into our wedding reception while shooting it (i.e. dancing while photographing.) We have received so many compliments not only on our photos, but also her presence at our wedding. I have had friends ask about hiring McCardell Photography in the future and my husband and I know that we will be hiring them for another shoot in the not too distant future as well. We are certainly satisfied customers and we can't thank them enough for their service.read moreread lessPriscill B.12/17/2017
- The McCardell's were great to work with. They answered all of our questions and captured fantastic engagement, bridal and wedding day pictures. We were extremely pleased with their professionalism and expertise. They arrived early on the wedding day, worked tirelessly and captured so many memories that we will cherish forever. We appreciate them and their extraordinary commitment to their profession and the impact they have for any special occasion in your life.read moreread lessSusan A.12/17/2017
- My wife and I are so happy with the photos! Working with Renee was so much fun and we really appreciate all her hard work. I loved the fact that that they pay close attention to details throughout the entire process and at the end you are handed a beautiful package with the final results. I recommend them 110%read moreread lessBrian C.12/17/2016
- Our wedding photos were a top priority to me so selecting the perfect photographers for our wedding day was a big deal. My husband and I spent a tremendous amount of time researching photographer options all over within a two hour radius of our wedding location and in several states. We scrutinized McCardell's blog and website and sent them long lists of questions. They were friendly yet professional every step along the way. We loved that their photos captured moments and not just staged them. It takes a special eye for that. We have gotten countless compliments about the photos and it has been nearly impossible to narrow down to our top favorites because there are so many we love! The day of the wedding Jonathan and Renee made us feel completely at ease and captured all the shots we wanted. It was an extra bonus to have a husband and wife team. That was our preference because husband and wives teams read each other so perfectly and work together in the best possible ways. Thanks again McCardells!read moreread lessLiz M.12/17/2016
- Jonathan and Renee were absolutely wonderful to work with! They always responded quickly to emails and were willing to meet with us in the evenings after work since we lived an hour and a half away. Renee shot our wedding and she was fabulous with our 2 young flower girls. I received all of our pictures back quickly and I couldn't be happier. The book they created is better than I could imagine and I'm so thrilled that we picked a package that included an album.read moreread lessColleen P.12/17/2016
