Event Photography

Q. Describe the most common types of jobs you do for your clients.

A. I do a variety of work. I've recently relocated from St Thomas Virgin Islands where I did virtually all Weddings. Now I am doing a ton of corporate events as well.

Q. What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?

A. Be sure you are comfortable with whomever you chose. Your relationship with your photographer will come through in your images. Be sure to use someone with professional experience shooting the type of event you are having. Not all wedding professionals excel at Award Ceremony Photography or Baby Portrait Photography. I have spent years honing my passion for photography.

Q. If you were a customer, what do you wish you knew about your trade? Any inside secrets to share?

A. You can get what you want! Speak up and be clear as to what you would like to walk away with at the end of the day. Be prepared to make an investment for the future. If cost is an issue we can figure something out. You can always buy more prints after the fact but you cant change the images if you skimped on the talent of the photographer due to cost issues. My services and prices are reasonable and flexible but I would not consider it cheap.

Q. What questions should a consumer ask to hire the right service professional?

A. Ask whatever is on your mind. Be sure you have seen and like the photographers work before entering negotiations. No sense in wasting your time if you're not pleased with the work. Ask for a contract. This protects you as well as the photographer.

Q. What important information should buyers have thought through before seeking you out?

A. Is your vendor insured. What are the recourses you have if for some reason something was to happen to the images like card failure.

Q. Why does your work stand out from others who do what you do?

A. I have honed my craft for over ten years. I have attended the Academy or Art Institute and continue my education everyday. Photography is not my job it is my passion. This shows in my work and commitment to my clients.

Q. What do you like most about your job?

A. This is a passion not a job. I couldn't be happier then a day I get to walk out of my office with camera at hand. Being entrusted with what is one of the most important days in peoples lives is an honor that I am proud of when chosen as your wedding photographer. If you've considered a photographer for an event the day is important to you and you'd like to look back some day to remember the big moments as well as the subtle intimate moments. I love what I do!

Q. What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?

A. What is your price? I tailor my prices to match what the needs are of my clients. You really don't want to skimp on the talent of your photographer. You usually get what you pay for so please be sure you like the work of the photographer you hire.

Q. Do you have a favorite story from your work?

A. The first time I handed the photos to a Bride and Groom in person. I watched as they both stood before me in tears. I was speechless and never considered another profession since. I love making a difference in peoples lives.

Q. What do you wish customers knew about you or your profession?

A. A great photographer must have great passion.

Q. How did you decide to get in your line of work?

A. I was approached by a photographer in a hotel I was working at. He liked the way I dealt with my clients and offered me a job. I was an photography enthusiast at the time. Soon quit my job to shoot weddings full time and shortly after began my own photography business that is JGiordano Photography LLC today.

Q. What is your greatest strength?

A. My greatest strength is my ability to quickly build relationships and trust with potential clients. I never make promises I can't keep and do everything I can to make sure your expectations are fully realized and then met. I've worked at five star hotels and know customer service is #1. I would appreciate the opportunity to bid on your event. Feel free to contact me at any time with questions you may have.
