About The Hobbyist Studio
The Hobbyist Studio
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.

The best photographer we have ever worked with
We could not thank Jordan and his team enough! Everything about working with them was smooth. Jordan took the time to know us personally well before wedding day he made sure to understand our vision for the day and make us feel comfortable. He was on top of everything and even gave great planning advice. On our big day, it unfortunately rained. Jordan and his team pivoted very quickly and made sure everything ran smoothly. We got so much praise about him before the even was over. On top of his great work ethic, professionalism and down-to-earth nature, his talent behind the camera is truly a gift. It would be a pleasure to work with Jordan and team again in the future.
Beautoful Photos and Wonderful Experience
We had such a great experience working with Jordany for our wedding! From the very beginning, he was professional, kind, and clearly passionate about what he does. On the day of the wedding, he made us feel completely at ease, blending in seamlessly and capturing everything so naturally. The final photos are absolutely beautiful — emotional, artistic, and full of the small, meaningful moments we’ll treasure forever. He truly has a gift for storytelling through his lens. We’re so grateful for his work and would highly recommend Jordany to anyone looking for a talented and thoughtful photographer who brings both skill and heart to such a special day.
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.
Wedding photographer
The Hobbyist Studio was the perfect choice for our wedding photography. Jordan's professionalism, creativity, and attention to detail made our wedding day truly unforgettable. 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.
