In their words
Trusted across South Australia
“We have just received our photos and wedding ceremony video back from Jason and could not be happier. The edits were done tastefully to suit the venue and mood. Jason was attentive, easy going and fun to work with, and arrived early to scope the venue and pick nice locations. We received everything much sooner than we expected.”
“Jason made my filming experience so enjoyable and stress-free. He encouraged and expanded on my ideas throughout the planning process. With his laid back, can-do approach I felt so comfortable to express my vision. An all-round 11/10 fantastic experience.”
“Jason has been my go-to since 2016, and for good reason. His creativity, attention to detail and ability to capture the energy and emotion of every project are second to none. The quality of his work has played a significant role in building my brand over the years.”
Questions
Good to know
Still unsure? Send your details and ask anything, or call 0424 965 133.
How much does a photographer in Adelaide cost?
It depends on the type of shoot, how long it runs and how much editing is involved. A short portrait or product session sits at one end and full event, music or nightlife coverage at the other. Cost is the question we hear most, so we keep it simple: tell us what you are shooting and your budget in the enquiry, and we give you a fixed-price quote before you commit. Quotes are free, and our rates are known for being generous for the quality you receive.
How fast will I get my photos back?
Fast turnaround is one of the things clients mention most about JLM Studios. Exact timing depends on the number of images and the edit, but we are known for delivering sooner than expected without cutting quality. Working to a deadline, a launch or a post-while-it-is-current nightlife shoot? Tell us the date and we plan the edit around it.
Do you shoot in low light and nightlife venues?
Yes, and it is a genuine strength. With 25+ years behind the lens, Jason shoots Adelaide nightlife, clubs, bars and live events in real low light without flattening the room with harsh flash. You get images that keep the atmosphere and the colour of the lighting, delivered fast so you can share them while the night is still fresh.
Can I book photography and video together?
Yes, and many clients do. Because Jason directs both, you can book photo and video from one person and keep the look consistent across everything. Weddings are commonly covered as a combined photo and film package, and the same approach works for artists, brands and events who want stills and a film that belong together.
Which areas around Adelaide do you cover?
We are based in Adelaide and cover the full metro area plus all South Australian suburbs within about 100km of the CBD, including the Adelaide Hills, Barossa Valley and McLaren Vale. We also take on interstate and Australia-wide work, from Sydney and Melbourne to Brisbane and Perth, for the right project. If your shoot is beyond the metro area, get in touch and we will sort the logistics.
