The Bradford Estate is giving something special to their booked couples: a free engagement session on the property, with one of the venue’s top photographers, before your wedding day ever arrives.
Finding a wedding photographer is one of the most overwhelming parts of planning a wedding. Endless portfolios, mixed reviews, DMs that go nowhere — and a decision that feels permanent the moment you make it. You want someone who gets it right on the one day you don’t get a redo.
The Bradford Estate sees this play out with couple after couple. As one of their top photographers, I know these grounds inside and out — every angle, every pocket of light, every season. The venue wanted to give their couples an easy way to actually experience that before making a decision, so together we built this.
That’s what this is — a complimentary engagement session at the Bradford Estate, completely free, with zero obligation to book me for your wedding. No pressure, no pitch. Just a real afternoon together, so you can see for yourself what it’s actually like to be photographed by me — while you’re still deciding who’s right for your day.
Twenty-five minutes on the Bradford Estate’s grounds, shot the way I’d shoot your wedding. This is what hiring me would actually feel like — no obligation to find out.
A curated set of high-resolution images, delivered with no watermark, that are yours to keep — whether you book me for your wedding or not. Great for save-the-dates, social, or just this season of your engagement.
Three short guides land in your inbox before the session: how to feel like yourselves on camera, what to wear, and a quick day-before note.
You’ll leave knowing a lot more than you did — not just about me, but about what actually makes you feel comfortable in front of a camera. That’s useful information no matter who you ultimately choose.
Fill out the short form below with a few details about you and your wedding date at the Bradford Estate.
Choose your session time on Wednesday, September 16 — sessions begin at 4 PM. If the weather doesn’t cooperate, the rain date is Wednesday, September 30, same time.
I’ll send prep guides ahead of time. Show up, be yourselves, and get a real feel for what it’s like to work with me — no strings attached.
This offer is for couples getting married at the Bradford Estate who are still deciding on a wedding photographer. If you’ve already booked someone, this particular session isn’t the right fit — but I’d still love to connect with you another way.
I’m Jared — a Philadelphia wedding photographer, and one of the Bradford Estate’s top photographers.
I know how noisy this search can get, and I know that portfolios only tell you so much. That’s really the point of this session — not to convince you of anything, just to give you a real, low-stakes chance to see how I work, how I direct, and how it feels to be photographed by me, on the same grounds where your wedding will happen.
No pressure either way. I just think you deserve more than a website before you decide.
Looking forward to meeting you both.
— Jared, Days Away Creative
