There are so many [great] photographers to consider in SLO County, however we wanted photos that would be timeless and not highly edited like the sepia tones and whimsical look tha...
t’s become popular. Jon’s photos were exactly what we were looking for, and we hired Jon to take our engagement photos (Spring 2018) and wedding photos (Fall 2019). BEST DECISION EVER!
For our engagement shoot, Jon was extremely flexible and shot photos at two locations - the winery we got engaged at in SLO, and another location he suggested in Los Osos. We were so blown away (literally, it was the windiest afternoon ever!) by the photos Jon took during our engagement shoot, that we knew we absolutely made the right decision to hire him for our wedding as well!
Jon perfectly captured our wedding day. It’s worth noting that our wedding ceremony and reception were in different locations, creating a little bit of a logistical challenge, however, Jon was extremely communicative and helpful in creating a photography timeline to ensure the day would go smoothly despite the multiple location changes. He didn’t miss a beat! All of the photos are amazing, so amazing that we’re even having a difficult time choosing which ones to print! Our family and friends we have shared photos with can’t get over how beautiful our photos are.
I honestly could go on and on on why to hire Jon, but the best bonus is how awesome of a human being Jon is. His upbeat, fun, and easy going personality makes him so fun to be around therefore making it comfortable and fun being in front of the camera. Hire Jon, you absolutely won’t regret it!
My wife and I almost hired a different photographer before discovering Jon. We're so glad we found him! Honestly, we can't imagine not hiring him because the photos he took perfect...
ly captured our wedding day.
So many photographers these days like the whimsical, faded-out photo style. This isn't us. We were looking for a photographer that doesn't over-edit, but embraces the colors in the photos and has more of a photojournalist's style. This is Jon to a T. He has an incredible eye and is so, so talented.
What we didn't know when we hired Jon was how great of a person he is. Jon has a way of putting you at ease in front of the camera with a great sense of humor and a liberal use of the word "fuego"! Neither my wife or I have ever taken portraits like you do for engagement photos or your wedding. This was new to us, and Jon found a way to make us look good! He worked well in tandem with our videographer and has great relationships with wedding venue staffs and coordinators, too.
He's also very quick with his editing. We had a "small" album of around 100 photos sent to us the morning after our wedding. We got the email from Jon while we were eating breakfast. This was so great to be able to share some photos with friends and family, and on social media, right away.
I could go on and on about how highly I recommend Jon. He is organized and was helpful every step of the way. He was flexible and able to make changes on the fly. I'm certain there's not a better wedding photographer to work with in SLO County.
Best advice I can give: Hire Jon!
Jon and his team were great! He took both our engagement photos and our wedding photos. His photos are beautiful and he is very talented in finding the perfect lighting and backgro...
und. It was a tough decision finding our photographer because we don't live in the area but Jon came highly recommended and we were not disappointed!!! All of our guests loved him too. He made everyone laugh throughout the event! He communicated with us prior to the wedding and made sure he knew exactly which photos were the must haves and what group pictures we wanted to take so that time was efficiently spent before and after the wedding. Thank you Jon!
Jon is amazing! We LOVE our wedding photos and can't thank him enough for capturing the our day so beautifully. He is so talented and has an eye for getting that perfect and unique...
shot. Thank you Jon!
I would highly recommend Jonathan! He is an excellent photographer with a great personality! Working with Jonathan and his assistant Chris was easy and comfortable, and they helped...
the day go by very smoothly. We are so happy we chose Jonathan as our photographer to capture the most important day of our lives. Our pictures turned out amazing and he was able to capture so many wonderful memories.
If you're reading this review, you are already winning because you found Jon Miller. You will not regret hiring him as your photographer. He is a kind, genuine guy who knows just w...
hen to be goofy enough to take out the awkwardness of having your photo taken. Don't tell him I said this, but he's actually pretty funny! :) He has an amazing way at capturing moments that you would have otherwise forgotten all about. He also has a great eye for design and can see things in a way we would have never thought to do. I can't imagine hiring anyone else for our wedding. Thank you Jon!
Jonathan was amazing to work with! He has such a creative eye, and really takes the time to get to know you and your goals for the session. I am not from the area so I was nervou...
s about finding the right photographer to capture the perfect moments during our wedding. I am so happy to have selected him, I really couldn't have asked for anyone better. He's an incredibly talented photographer, and also super easy to work with which was important to me. I look forward to working with him again in the future for family shots!
At the last minute, we were in search of a brilliant photographer outside of wedding season last year, the day before Valentine's Day. When we came across Jon's website, we saw how...
unique and beautiful his eye was for capturing couples in love, we knew he was he one! During our engagement and wedding photo shoots, he was so kind and funny, making us feel comfortable and ourselves . We are still boasting about our gorgeous wedding photos today. Thank you Jon! You're the best!
Jonathan is a wonderful photographer and was a pleasure to work with!! We absolutely love our photos :)
Selecting Jonathan David Studios as our wedding photographer was the best decision we ever made. His photos are absolutely stunning. He has this way of catching those special momen...
ts you would easily forget without being intrusive. I would highly recommend going with Jonathan David Studios. You will not be disappointed!
Jon is a wonderful person who captured in stills the love my now husband and I share.
My hubby and I had a destination wedding in Pismo and Jon stressed how important he felt it...
was for us to meet ahead of time to get familiar and comfortable ahead of our wedding. It was so important that he met us halfway in San Francisco to take engagement photos.
This is not just a job for Jon - it's his passion and it shows in the work he puts forth. Our wedding photos are beautiful and we cannot thank him for giving us the gift of looking back and reliving how magical our day was. Thanks Jon!!
Jon was amazing!!! Incredibly creative and took the time to get to know what we liked. Before our wedding he and the second photographer showed up a couple hours before to scout th...
e best places to shoot. The photos turned out absolutely STUNNING and we are constantly asked "Who was your photographer?! Your pictures are amazing!".
If you're looking for a traditional photographer that is going to stick to an agenda and give you all the typical shots, you'll have to keep searching. Jonathan is creative and wil...
l deliver pieces of art and not just photos. He truly captures the perfect moments that really tell a story. He is very easy to work with and will make you feel comfortable even when you're not so comfortable in front of cameras! We really enjoyed having him and his wife as part of our wedding and highly recommend them for your special occasion.
Working with Jon was exactly what we were looking for for our wedding. We wanted someone who would have fun with us and capture our wedding perfectly. The day went by so fast, so i...
t was fun to see pictures of parts we had missed - during the ceremony and the reception.
Working with Jon and his assistant was fun and easy, and I didn't feel lame for asking for anything specific I wanted, no matter how cheesy it was :)
We also had our engagement shoot with Jon. We stopped at 4 different locations which resulted in variety of photos and settings. My husband and I were both nervous to be in front of the camera, but Jon helped us get our nerves out and just be ourselves. The engagement shoot really was practice for the big day and I'm so glad we got that time in.
Once our photos were ready, Jon delivered them in a very nice looking black box with the drive inside, which is also very nice and sleek looking.
We've had a few printed out and they all came out in excellent quality. I highly recommend Jonathan David Studios if you want your photos to be out of the ordinary, but still classic and beautiful. We will book again for our family photos in the future.
Thanks Jon!!!
Jonathan is such an amazing photographer! We had the pleasure of working with him for our engagement pictures and he did an amazing job. He is so easy to work with and makes you fe...
el super comfortable the whole time. I never felt rushed or uncomfortable the whole time. He not only does an amazing job but he also got us the pictures fast so fast. The day after our shoot he emailed us 30 sneak peek pictures and then a little less then a week from the shoot he had the whole file for us to download. He did all that with his wife's due date 10 days away. We are so excited for him to capture our big day and can't wait to see what magic he makes! We will definitely be using him after the wedding. I would recommend him to anyone and everyone!
Well it looks like I can only make one review so I will just have to add to this one. My wedding was two weeks ago on August 1, 2015 and I am so happy I had Jonathan and his assistant there to capture the day. I have seen a few pictures from the day and I can't wait to get them all back! Jonathan is so talented and has a special way of capturing such a special moment. After working with him for the engagement pictures I knew it would be ten times easier on the wedding day. He is so easy to get along with and has a way to make you laugh through out the day. Both my husband and I walked away from all of this feeling like he is more of a friend then a photographer because it was just that easy to work with him. I will be using Jonathan in the future for tons of different photo shoots!
My husband and I got married on April 26th 2014, it truly was a perfect day. The weeks and months leading up to it however, were not so perfect. As anyone who has got married will ...
know, there is a lot of stress in choosing the right people for your catering, music, and venue but most importantly; your photographer. A photographer tells the story to the rest of the world, to those who couldn’t make, those who want to remember it, and even those who may not even have existed yet! Getting this right is crucial to ensure you have the best memory of your special day.
For our wedding we chose Jonathan David Studios, run by Jon Miller. Jon has been a friend of mine for a long time and I have seen his work develop from the beginning. I have always admired his work but it was a big decision to choose him to shoot our wedding photos, the most important day of mine and my husband’s life. Jon was extremely professional throughout and made me feel confident in my decision from the word go. We met several times, prior to the big day, at the venue to discuss exactly what it was we were looking for and the different shots we could get.
As the day came, Jon rose to the occasion and was a truly a pleasure to work with. Without any fuss or bother, Jon swooped around the venue, got the shots and worked seamlessly in and out of the crowd to get some really interesting and natural shots. Jon was extremely patient with the guests but was very conscious of time to ensure he got the killer shots of us at dusk on the hill.
Jon was an extremely thoughtful and professional photographer, he was a master of the art and we are eternally grateful to him for our perfect photos and memory of our perfect day. Thank you Jon. Love Chelsey and Mark.
