Literally the best of the best. You won’t regret using Johny for your photos! He’s done my senior pictures, engagement photos, and wedding photos. Very personable and so helpful in making each photo shoot fun. He takes all the nerves away!
Johnny is phenomenal. I'm so happy we found him for our wedding, and that he offers traveling as we live 5 hours apart. From the beginning, Johnny made us feel comfortable. He is so down to earth, funny, and personable. He is also efficient! My (now) husband doesn't like being in front of the camera, so the fact that Johnny was able to take great pictures in a quick manner really impressed him. He never made us feel rushed or unimportant, though. My husband has mentioned a few times how he's also very happy we found him as our photographer, and that if we lived closer, we would have him shoot all of our future photos. Our bridal party and family were impressed with him, too. They all loved his personality! Our pictures were finished within a month (the stated time frame), and they are beautiful! We had our ceremony and reception in a large hotel, and it rained all day. But Johnny was able to work with what he had, and the pictures turned out amazing. I would recommend anyone and everyone to Johnny - I know he's on the top of our list for future pictures!
Johnny was so great to work with throughout the whole process of our wedding! He went above and beyond what is expected from a photographer, including helping us set up our wedding day timeline which was a huge help. He got such awesome shots and during all of our interactions with him, he felt more like a guest at our wedding than a paid photographer. I could not have asked for a better person to help capture our day.
Also, he is so creative with shot ideas! We were not picky about what locations or poses we did, and if you aren't either, let him tell you what to do. He is so good at knowing the good locations and best poses to make your pictures turn out great. Thank you so much for everything Johnny!!
We absolutely loved working with Jonny! He is so much more than just your average wedding photographer! Working with his is honestly like hanging out with a friend! Easy to work with and produces great photos!
Could not have picked a better photographer for our wedding! In addition to being an amazing photographer, he also helped us put together a schedule for our wedding day. Johnny was so creative with all the pictures he captured and really catered to our day. He is very personable, and so easy to work with, and without his help I don’t think our day would’ve gone as smooth as it did!
Been working with Johnny for years and dude literally is the best in the business. Whatever type of photography/videography you're looking for, he will exceed your expectations. Book this man NOW!
Upon meeting Johnny with Bravo Photography, my husband and I were very impressed with his ideas, honesty, and the way he runs his business. The engagement session and wedding session were both so smooth and efficent with Bravo Photography! He goes Above and Beyond!! My husband and I are very pleased with how smoothly he helped our wedding day roll along. He was very cool, calm, and collected when it came to a hiccup in our schedule - he was the BEST help! We appreciate the heck out of the service he provides. He is a quality photographer and just an outstanding person. Also, his turn around time for pictures is quicker than most. That’s a huge bonus in my opinion! He was able to capture our special day perfectly. I couldn't imagine going with any other photographer. So detailed and efficient, so easy to get along with, and such AMAZING talent!
We were extremely blessed with great vendors, including Johnny at Bravo Photography. From our first meeting, he had great suggestions for as as to other vendors we could use and used his experience to suggest a timeline for the day that would allow for flexibility and some extra time.. if anything went wrong! Day of, he was calm when we did get off our timeline, and was firm in moving us along to get all the pictures we wanted. He was very authentic in bringing his own vibe and personality, and communicated well with our group to get their participation. There were a few missed details in follow up after the wedding, but as long as we let him know he was very quick and responsive to address those. Thanks for the beautiful pictures (I think those speak for themselves!)
Johnny was absolutely incredible from start to finish! He is so kind, genuine, and very easy to work with! He maintains professionalism while still becoming your friend. I didn't hire a wedding planner and Johnny went above and beyond to help me sort out my wedding day-of schedule, especially as I had no idea where to start! Look no further, this is your guy. Can't recommend him enough!
Jonathan was AMAZING to work with! He goes above and beyond by making sure that you feel at ease throughout the planning process and beyond. He pays attention to even the smallest details to make sure your big day goes off without a hitch. Jonathan is extremely talented, and I can't sing his praises enough. We are so happy with our experience with Bravo Photography!

I've watched Bravo Photography grow throughout the years and I can say with confidence that the quality of work he provides to each and every one of his clients is unmatched and has remained constant since the very beginning. His photos (and in my case, video) portray the same level vibrancy and energy that Johnny radiates as a human and his work paints an amazing picture of the subjects he's capturing. Hiring Bravo Photography for our wedding was a no brainer. Johnny has this way of keeping everything light and fun, even if there's a tornado on your wedding day, and is able to capture the most organic shots because of it. Johnny goes above and beyond for his clients and is always willing to experiment to capture their vision, all while staying true to his style. Johnny doesn't just check the box of photographer or videographer, he does what needs to be done for his clients and does it with such humbleness and grace. He coordinated with all of our vendors prior to our wedding and day of, was so responsive during the whole process, and everyone who meet him agreed that he's the absolute best to work with. Hiring Bravo Photography was a no brainer for me and should be for everyone.
Johnny truly is the best at what he does. His talent never ceases to amaze me. It was honestly never a question who would do our wedding video, and we booked Johnny almost immediately. We not only chose him for his talent, but for how personable he was. Johnny is one of the most down-to-earth dudes I have ever met. It doesn’t matter if you know Johnny on a personal level, or if you’ve known him for 5 minutes, he treats each and every client with the utmost respect and professionalism. He’s straight forward with you from the very get go and his communication is exceptional. My wife and I didn’t have to worry about a single thing with Johnny and our photographer running the show. We were able to sit back, and take the day in as all couples should. Johnny will enjoy your big day with you as if you’ve known him forever. He’ll be right in the mix of the fun and is such a joy to have around. I would recommend Johnny to absolutely anyone. If you want an unforgettable experience and a relationship that will transpire far passed your wedding day, Johnny is your man!
I was pretty nervous about acting natural in front of the camera for my wedding day. I had never been photographed professionally before. Our photographer made all of the pictures so fun, even the posed pictures with family. Our wedding pictures are so beautiful and I'm so happy that we chose Jonathan as our photographer!
All I can say, is "WOW, Bravo did it again!!!" We are so in love with our photos!! 😊 Johnny did my sister's senior photos, and from the minute they came back 3 three ago, I knew I was going to have Johnny do my wedding photos one day. I am so excited; I was able to hire Johnny to do our wedding photos. He has such a great personally and he is super easy to work with. He has done enough weddings, that I let him take the lead, and do his thing. I knew that way, nothing would be missed.
Jonny was incredible to work with! Not only do you get amazing pictures and a rad dude to work with, but you get a day of coordinator who helps make sure your day is run smoothly! He truly puts his couple first! Our pictures turned out incredible and we are so lucky to have had Jonny!
Johnny Bravo is the best in the business! He was so incredibly helpful at relieving stress the day of and was seriously a wedding planner, photographer and friend all in one! He helped keep the day running smooth and I seriously could not imagine having anyone else. If you’re looking for a photographer for any reason, he is the obvious option!
Jonny was amazing! From the very start he was very responsive and informative and helped us with more than just the photos. He helped our whole wedding day go so smoothly. I can't recommend him enough! He was such a joy to work with and captured every moment beautifully and captured the funny moments too!
Johnny was our wedding videographer and he did an AMAZING job! He was worth every penny. I really don't think you can find anyone out there better than Johnny he is so talented and makes you feel like you've known him forever! I initially hired Johnny after watching all of his prior videos he has made and I was so impressed. When I met Johnny he was so full of energy and excitement and he truly cares about every couple he works for. When the pandemic hit he came and captured our small quarantine wedding out of his own time while also doing our complete reception day that we rescheduled multiple times. It was such a blessing to have him apart of our celebration!
Jonny is the GOAT!! From our engagement session, to our wedding day he was unmatched. He was always in touch, and quick to respond. He always took what we liked/didn’t like right into play. He’s so easy to work with, and made us so comfortable. He’s not just there for photos, he truly was involved in our entire experience and such a huge help. Can’t recommend him enough.
Johnny Bravo does excellent work! He took our engagement & wedding photos! I was very nervous to take engagement photos since we are both kind of awkward, but the experience was amazing! He made us both feel comfortable! We got those pictures back & had a hard time choosing pictures to print/put on invites/set as profile pics/etc. because they were all so great! Then the wedding came & he really put to life what we had envisioned. Having Bravo do our pictures was one of the best decisions we made.
We do not have enough good things to say about Bravo Photography. Jonathan was fantastic from the moment we met him. He is very personable and easy to get along with. We loved our engagement photos and received them in a timely manner. Leading up to our wedding day, Jonathan was very good at reaching out to us and making sure we were all prepared for the busy day. I think what we loved the most is that he told us multiple times that he was not only there for us but also our family. He wanted to make sure everyone was taken care of. After getting all of our wedding photos back, we couldn’t believe how beautiful they all were. There was not one photo that we did not like!! Very impressed!
Johnny did an amazing job all around for our wedding. He communicated often and thoroughly. Something that stood out to me was that he sat down with me at our initial meeting and helped me create an entire wedding day timeline to see when photos would be. Two weeks prior we met again and went over final details. This was so reassuring and helpful for me.
He also kept our day moving! He helped us make sure that we were on schedule and definitely went above and beyond.
I would 100% recommend Johnny to anyone looking for a wedding photographer or videographer!
I don’t know if there are adequate words to describe Johnny or his talent. I am in the bridal industry myself and looking for the pros of your wedding day is no small task! I am honored to have had someone as patient, heartfelt and professional as Johnny capturing the forever moments of my wedding day. I would choose him over and over again! Thanks for being so good to our little family! -SabreenaFrances
Jonny is the best in the business when it comes to photography. I started working with Jonny many years ago for my senior photos and flash forward now he has done our engagement and wedding photos! He is creative with his work and flexible to work with. I was completely stress free during our wedding day thanks to Jonnys help in creating a time line for our day- pretty much a wedding planner and photographer in one! Jonny is simply the best. We started our wedding day with a photographer and ended the night with a true friend. We look forward to working with Bravo Photography again.
Johnny was the best photographer my husband and I could have imagined for our wedding. Not only did he take the most beautiful pictures, he was on time, made our day effortless, and gave us direction for all our photos(which we definitely needed!). He also helped us make our timeline and brought up details we hadn’t thought of. You can tell he is very experienced because he has an answer or advice for any question we had. I would recommend him to anyone wanting a special, fun experience and beautiful pictures!
Due to COVID-19 regulations, my fiancé and I had to cancel our large June 1 wedding. About a month later we decided to elope in Sioux Falls. The whole thing was planned in less than four days.
Johnny was SO helpful in the process - even agreeing to an early morning phone call to go over a general plan. I sent him a very last minute list of photo ideas and he incorporated them to a tee!
He had a fun and positive attitude and was such an awesome addition to our day. I am so grateful for the many high-quality photos that I can send to family members who were unable to attend.
Jonathan Bravo was not just an amazing photographer who took timeless photos. He helped with anything we needed help with. he was accommodating, he was flexible and he did whatever was needed to make our vision come to reality. Jonathan was so much fun to work with! I promise you will laugh and have a blast the whole time! And you will have photos that you will treasure forever.
Jonathan shot my wedding last year. Was super professional during all the meetings we had prior and kept every standard we had set beforehand. Was super quick with getting all of our photos to us in a timely manner with really good rates.
I 100% recommend Bravo Photography!! Jonathan was on top of everything - he made sure our day was as stress free as he possibly could. I really appreciated Jonathan connecting with us a few days before our wedding and he also got in touch with our other venders to make sure everyone was on the right page - which helped make our day run very smoothly. Not only was he able to take the most BEAUTIFUL pictures, that really captured how special our day was, but he is a BLAST - we love how creative and FUN Jonathan is! We have been told many times how great our pictures turned out and Cayden and I could not agree more! We definitely plan on using Bravo Photography for all our photography needs in the future! 😊
I loved working with him!
Johnny helped make our special day absolutely perfect! His attention to detail, professionalism, and fun personality make him the best of the best. Our needs were met and he went way above and beyond our expectations. We highly recommend him, you won’t regret it!
It's in the name! Our, my husband and I, oh how fun it is to say that :-D could not have been happier with our choice. This young man knows what makes a great experience from a good experience. What I write here, speaks for the both of us. After the opportunity to have interviewed a number of photographers, Johnny surely made his mark in our decision-making process. Once we pulled the trigger, all we could do was wait for the first session, our engagement photos. WOW! That sum's up the first experience we had with Johnny doing his thing. We've never been so at ease with a photographer before. He has such an easy-going manner about him that made this session so comfortable. Even before we saw the results, we thanked him so much for working with us. Let the pictures be expression enough of how wonderful it was to work with him and the quality of his work to show just how we, my husband and I :-D feel about each other. If it's not obvious already, Johnny Bravo is simply someone I would recommend without hesitation. Approachable, professional, and FUN! We applaud him for everything he did to make our day forever memorable.
From our first meeting with Johnny before our wedding, we could tell right away that he was very detail oriented and organized. He created a timeline of how the day would go and what pictures would be taken at what time. On our wedding day, with his help and timeline, the day went by flawlessly. Even after all of our “pre-determined photos,” he was willing to try out different ideas for photos that came up throughout the day from requested family and bridal party members. He also communicated with the DJ and other professionals there to ensure everyone was on the same page. He was always in the right places throughout the day to capture the best photos, without us even knowing he was there most of the time. After seeing his photos of our wedding day, we were amazed at how well they turned out and how many photos he took the time to edit and show to us. We are huge Harry Potter fans, so he used his creative skills to edit some amazing Harry Potter themed photos for us, which were awesome! Many friends and family told us afterwards how stunning the photos looked and loved how all the colors stood out in them. We could not be happier with how everything turned out and will love these photos forever!
Jonathan Bravo did such an amazing job on our wedding pictures from this past July! He truly has an eye for detail and makes taking photos feel very natural and fun. He does an incredible job capturing moments and we will treasure our wedding photos for the rest of our lives. He has a unique style that I have yet to see recreated and that is what makes his photography so special! I could not recommend him highly enough.
Bravo Photography was so much more than we expected. His preparation, professionalism, punctuality, and energy kept the planning and execution of the day very easy. He worked with us to set up the schedule we wanted and helped us fill in pieces we overlooked. The photos themselves are spectacular! He captured the emotions of the day (which was most important to us when selecting a photographer). Jonny Bravo is a no-brainer when it comes to wedding photos.
Jonathan Bravo did an incredible job taking our pictures for our wedding in June. We recently got them all and WE LOVE THEM! We were blown away by the moments he captured through his photography. He is so personal, professional, and respectful throughout the whole process. I know our families and bridal party had a blast spending the day with Jonathan as our photographer. I would recommend him to anyone if you want special moments captured on your favorite day!
I have nothing but great things to say about Bravo Photography! We hired Johnny for our wedding and I never knew how important having a fun energetic photographer would be! He makes you feel like you are the most important couple in the world! He also communicated so well with all of our other vendors in our wedding that it made for a very smooth day. I loved how we got our wedding photos back 3 weeks at our wedding! Johnny will be a friend for life!
Johnny did an awesome job with our wedding! We got married May 18,2019.
He was energetic & kept the day going by smoothly. He also had no problem being stolen away by my friends for some pics of them & their spouses! JBravo Photography is now my photographer for any future events! ( he also did our engagement shoot & it was perfect )
Jonathan Bravo recently did my wedding, and the pictures turned out amazing. He is so easy to work with and very good with keeping your day on track. Highly recommend him to anyone. He also did my love story and my wedding guests loved it- the video showed my husband and I’s relationship perfectly. Thank you so much Jonathan!!!
My husband and I had the great opportunity to work with Johnny the day of our wedding. Johnny offered a high-energy attitude and creative mind-set to help us capture the most beautiful and memorable day of our lives.
Johnny video-graphed our entire day - from the salon at 8 in the morning until we shut down the dance floor, Johnny was there capturing all of the moments we wished most to remember. We received full video coverage of our ceremony and all the raw footage clips from our special day. Not only did Johnny create the perfect video keepsake for us -highlighting all the key components of our day - but he helped keep the day moving smoothly while offering his creative insight on what shots looked best on film.
Johnny was very flexible and worked with us before our wedding day to generate a schedule, ensuring we got all the camera shots we wanted while staying on time the day of the wedding. I seriously have Johnny to thank for basically planning our entire day and taking the stress off of me, the bride, the day of.
Johnny also had all the video clips and the edited version of our wedding day back to us within a month of our event. He works hard and prioritizes his clients' needs while producing the best possible outcome. It is evident that Johnny is very passionate about photography/film and wants to give his clients the best possible experience through his work.
I highly recommend Johnny to anyone considering his services!
I highly recommend Bravo photography! Jonathan is the most light hearted easy going photographer. Every shot looks natural because it’s so easy to be yourself while he’s photographing you! If you want someone who is energetic, not stuffy, and does whatever it takes to get the perfect shot, Bravo Photography is the place to book!! My husband and I did engagement and wedding photos, and would book him again in a heartbeat! Professional and so enjoyable to work with!
We recently had Bravo Photography for our wedding and could not have asked for a better photographer for our big day! Johnny was there every second of the day to capture all the important photos, but also caught a lot of other special moments. He kept the whole day moving and on schedule- It was like having a wedding planner! Our photos were edited in a very timely manner and we love, love, love how they turned out! We would highly recommend Johnny to anyone looking for an amazing photographer and are so grateful we chose him for our special day!
I used Bravo Photography for my wedding and a few other events. His work is immaculate and he will drop everything at a moments notice to insure that your vision and goals are being met. I’m active military and already have enough to worry about jumping state to state. The last thing I want to stress about is a reliable photographer. But every time I use Bravo Photography it’s simple, responsive, and a very laid back atmosphere that makes it enjoyable. The pictures are always top notch and breathtaking. 10/10 would recommend.
We loved working with Johnny!! He was so organized, outgoing, and made sure that everyone was having fun. He asked for our recommendations on how we wanted things done and he went above and beyond to accommodate those requests. His work is mind blowing and we have received so many compliments on our pictures from family and friends. We can't wait to work with him in the future!! Thanks Johnny!
Jonathan is a fantastic photographer to have in any situation! My wife and I had him do our engagement photos and we had a blast working with him! He will go above and beyond to get the ideal shot and you can tell he loves what he does! I highly recommend Bravo Photography!
Jonathan was hands down one of the most professional photographers I ever had the pleasure working with. He has done my senior pictures as well as my brothers senior picture and even my older brothers wedding. For any photo needs we always go to Bravo Photography. Jonathan helps you every step of the way and is just a great outgoing person who will make taking pictures extremely enjoying. If your looking for any types of pictures Jonathan is the only person I can recommend 100%.
We wholeheartedly recommend Johnathon Bravo for your wedding day! We used him for both our wedding and engagement pictures and they turned out beautiful! He was so fun to work with and absolutely adored by all of our guests. Johnny is awesome!
We love Jonathan! His photos and videos are nothing but amazing and he is SO fun to work with. You won't be disappointed!
