About The Hobbyist Studio

The Hobbyist Studio

Head Photographer

Hey there, I'm Jordany Almonte, but you can call me "Jordan" – a friendly guy based in the state of New Jersey with a passion for life and a big heart for family. I take immense pride in being a devoted husband and a proud father; they are the driving force behind everything I do. To me, photography is more than just capturing images; it's a way of feeling, touching, and loving the world around me. What I capture in the film holds the essence of the moment, preserving memories that we can cherish forever. Those little things, often overlooked, can bring floods of emotions long after our other memories have faded.

Very caring and understanding individual with lots of love and passionate for what I do. Through this photography journey, I hope to connect with kindred spirits who share my belief in the power of visual storytelling. I want to capture the beauty in the mundane and create lasting memories that bring joy to people's lives.

  • Jordan is THE MAN

    If you're in the NJ/NY area, Jordan is fantastic to work with on your special day. No detail is overlooked, and he's great at capturing the most special moments. His professionalism is unmatched, the quality of the photos and editing is phenomenal, and he's very down to earth - helping bride, groom, wedding party, and family feel comfortable in front of the camera lens. He's open to your needs and what shots you would prefer on your big day - even thinking of ones you didn't know you wanted. If you're the type of couple like us who didn't want to spend the entire day in front of the camera but with family and friends, Jordan is great at capturing candid moments as well. We received a few sneak peeks of his work within a few days post-wedding, and we can't get enough! Very grateful to have him on our team.

He captured the essence of our special day with his stunning photographs, which we will treasure for a lifetime. What impressed us most about Jordan was his ability to make us feel comfortable and relaxed in front of the camera. He took the time to understand our vision and preferences, and his expertise shone through in every aspect of his work. We couldn't be happier with the beautiful memories he has provided us.
