Jordan Brian Studios, Philadelphia and South Jersey
Philadelphia wedding photographer. Your wedding, the way it actually felt
Jordan Brian Studios is a Philadelphia wedding photographer working across the city and South Jersey since 2005. That is 500+ weddings, from Old City rooftops to the Ballroom at the Ben and the Cescaphe ballrooms. Every wedding is covered by Jordan plus at least one second professional photographer. Jordan takes 15 weddings a year, so your date gets the attention it should.
A Quick Note from Me
I only take 15 weddings a year. By design.
Less hustle on my end, more attention on yours. You get me on your wedding day, not a second-string shooter you’ve never met. Sneak peeks in your inbox within 72 hours, your full gallery in 4 weeks.
My Promise to You
Direction when you need it. Quiet when you don’t.
Some couples want a little posing help, especially during portraits, and I give it. The rest of the time, when the moments are happening, I’m reading the room and getting them as they unfold. Twenty-one years and 500+ weddings means I usually know which mode you need before you do.
Philadelphia Venues
Philadelphia rooms I know without a walkthrough
Most of my Philadelphia Saturdays land in a handful of buildings, and each one has its own guide with real photographs, what the day costs there, and where the portraits happen. Start with the Cescaphe venues, the Crystal Tea Room, the Ballroom at the Ben and the Notary Hotel. Still choosing? My 12 best Philadelphia wedding venues list has the honest pros and cons for each.

What my Philly couples said
“Jordan made the day so much easier by helping us schedule our timeline of when and where the best places were to take pictures in Philadelphia. Everyone at the wedding LOVED him. … If you are looking for a photographer in the Philadelphia area, go with Jordan Brian!”
“Weddings can be stressful and he had us laughing the whole time. … He knew the perfect locations in and around our venue (The Bellevue in Philly) and gave great direction, as I do not consider myself particularly photogenic.”
“Jordan was the photographer at my brother’s wedding, but originally we found him because he came highly recommended by multiple Philly/NJ area venues. … He takes so many fun candids throughout that you might’ve missed on wedding night, and he captures your joy without ever having you leave the dance floor.”
“Jordan came highly recommended to us by our venue contact at the Please Touch Museum. … He also turned locations near the hotel where we got ready into fabulous photos. … Our wedding day was magical and Jordan captured the essence of the day in his photographs.”
“When I first saw the photographs, I was in tears. The day goes by so quickly and you don’t realize everything going on around you. He captured many life moments that I would have never gotten otherwise.”
Common Questions
A few things couples ask
How quickly do I get my photographs?
Sneak peeks within 72 hours. Color-corrected gallery within 4 weeks. No three-month black holes, no chasing me for updates.
Do you cover all of Philadelphia and the Main Line?
Yes. Center City, Old City, Fishtown, South Philly, the Main Line, Chestnut Hill, and the close suburbs are all inside my no-travel-fee radius from Mount Laurel. Farther out, I just bill mileage and a room if it makes sense.
What’s it like to work with you on a wedding day?
I show up early and move with your day. When you need a little direction, especially during portraits or the first dance, I give it. The rest of the time I’m reading the room, so when something real happens, I’m already in position. You’ll feel guided when you need it and free the rest of the time.
Getting married across the bridge in New Jersey?
I photograph New Jersey weddings the same way, from the Shore to the Sculpture grounds. Start with the New Jersey wedding photographer page.
