There are not many things a newly married couple can hold on to from their actual wedding day but photos are about as close to reliving the day as it gets! What we received from J&D photography were not your average wedding photos! The people in the photos were surely not us and the settings that we shot in must have been digitized or a backdrop in a photography studio. But no, these were our wedding photos and whilst the venue provided a lot of the beautiful scenery, it still takes a magician with a camera to capture the beauty. One thing is for certain, with J&D photography you will never hear the words “this picture doesn’t do the scenery justice”! Everything from our e shoot to the pictures on the day were amazing and well worth every cent. On a personal level, working with Jaco, Danie and Daleen was an absolute pleasure and they always went above and beyond to make things happen! They were polite, friendly and happy to engage with us! Thinking back on it now there was never a stage where we were worried about how our pictures would turn out! We somehow came to expect an amazing level of proficiency and in the end……..oh boy did we get it! We will be eternally grateful for the outstanding service provided by J&D photography and would recommend them in a heart beat!

Hulle is die beste fotograwe ooit. Regtig. Alles gedoen wat ons hulle gevra het, was nooit kwaai of ongeskik nie. Jaco het baie geduld met my gehad en my so gemaklik laat voel. Hulle was daar wanneer ek 'n foto wou neem saam iemand. Hy was die hele aand daar en het nie gemoan nie. Hy en Danie was regtig great. Sal hulle aanbeveel vir enige iemand.

I couldn´t have asked for a better wedding photographer. After looking through hundreds of websites and blogs, a friend recommended “Admired in Africa”. I had a look, and instantly fell in love with Jaco´s award winning photos. I knew I had to have him at my wedding, and was so lucky that he still had my wedding date open. Jaco and Danie are very professional, and help you feel so comfortable on a very stressful day. There are a lot of things you worry about on your wedding day, it was wonderful to know that I didn´t have to worry about my photographer at all. They go the extra mile and really enjoy what they´re doing, always looking for new ideas and compositions. Jaco´s night shoot photos speak for themselves, he is a true artist, which is what makes him so amazing! I have photos from that day that are gorgeous artworks, not just normal run of the mill photos. If you want an artist at your wedding, I wouldn´t choose anyone else!

Dankie Jaco en span vir die asemrowende foto's! Jul het regtig elke spesiale oomblik en fyn detail vasgevang van ons troudag. Dankie dat jul ons so gemaklik laat voel het en dat die reën julle nie teruggehou het om ongelooflike mooi fotos te neem nie. Almal love ons klein foto montages en kan nie wag vir ons album nie!
