Worst Professional Wedding Photos I've Ever Seen

First, the quality of the photos was so bad, we paid a different professional photographer to edit them. He sent us a long list of things that were done wrong. Jordan shot the entire wedding on 24mm and 85mm fixed focal length lenses, so the photos are all either too wide or too tight. The photographer who edited them said he never heard of anyone shooting a wedding with those lenses. Standard wedding photographers use 24-70mm and 70 -200mm lenses giving them a total range between 24-200 mm. Jordan didn’t frame any of the photos correctly. He left huge amounts of empty space at the top of every image while cutting people in half. He shot everything very dark and exposed everything for the background instead of the subject, which is how you take landscape photos. He didn’t cull the images. He just dumped everything in a gallery. He didn’t crop any of them. The edits were terrible. They felt very gray and the skin tones were wrong. They were grainy because he maximized the contrast on every photo. He did not edit the subject and the background separately. He applied one edit to the entire photo. He shot nothing but the back of peoples heads during the reception. He didn’t use any off camera flash even though it was an outdoor nighttime reception, Second, he didn’t take any close up photos during the ceremony or our first dance. There are no photos of us putting rings on each other's fingers. There are no photos that show how we looked at each other during the ceremony or our first dance. The ceremony photos are wide shots taken from behind our guests. The first dance photos feel like snap shots taken by guests. Third, he failed to photograph so many things. He didn't take photos of our guests during dinner. Every wedding photographer does that. We had a javelina theme. Metal javelinas on the guest tables, vases full of string lights with javelina silhouettes on them for centerpieces, javelina towels in the bathroom and kitchen, etc. He didn’t photograph any of that. We were blending families. We had 4 separate cakes with each member of the family choosing a filling and flower color. We talked about the significance during our toast and made cute little signs that listed the type of cake and who picked it that sat on a buffet table with the cake slices. He didn’t photograph those. Before you hire Jordan, ask him to show you the full 773 photo gallery he gave Lisa and Julian of their wedding on 9/27/25. If he stands by his work, he will show it to you and you can decide for yourself. Personally, I am devastated. This was an extremely important once in a lifetime event that we can never recreate. Photos are very important to me. I take a million photos and display them throughout my house. My wedding photos literally make me cry.
