Jonathan photographed our company holiday party with 625 guests. He did a phenomenal job! Highly recommend. Photos are flawless!
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.
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!
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!
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!
