We cannot recommend Jonathan enough! From the moment he arrived on our wedding day, he made us feel completely at ease. Weddings can be stressful, but Jonathan's calm, professional, and friendly personality helped us relax and truly enjoy every moment.
Not only was he incredible to work with throughout the day, but he also delivered our wedding preview photos within just two days! We were absolutely blown away and already in love with the images. He captured the emotions, details, and special moments so beautifully, and we couldn't be happier with the results.
Choosing a photographer is one of the most important decisions you'll make for your wedding, and we are so grateful we chose Jonathan. He exceeded every expectation and helped make our day even more memorable. We couldn't have asked for a better person to be by our side capturing such an important day.

Jonathan dyer was the absolute best photographer I could have asked for. He was very affordable, and every single request I had he said yes without hesitation. He arrived promptly ...
and in time. A few weeks ahead of time we had a thorough meeting that went out the timeline and any special photo requests I had. He was extremely professional and looked very nice. He went to the brides location and his second photographer went with the grooms. I would hire him again in a heartbeat. His work was so unbelievably talented. His pictures were so beautiful he capture every request I had. After the wedding and not shortly after he took over 2k pictures!! He truly didn’t miss a shot. I would hire Jon and his partner again in a heartbeat he was a pleasure to work with and be around on my wedding day. His pictures were so stunning and unique. He captured the most beautiful pictures on the beach, at the church, I couldn’t be happier with hiring him as my photographer. Hire Johnathan dyer for any photo event you will be so very happy that you did!! If your also looking for a videographer he works very well together with Rod baker video! The dynamic duo for a long wedding video, a highlight and the most pictures from Jonathan dyer and video from Rod baker. The best decision you’ll ever make!!

o make our hotel suite look great for the getting ready photos. Jonathan is punctual, professional, and a great communicator.
My husband doesn't typically like staged photos taken but he was comfortable and happy that our day felt natural and non-invasive. We were able to spend a lot of time celebrating with our guests and that was what we were hoping for.
The wedding was on a Saturday evening, and I already had a large preview file by Monday morning. Then the full edited file was delivered 2 weeks later. This really exceeded my expectations. I'd recommend Jonathan to anyone needing a photographer.

Jonathan is the best in the business for wedding photos. Had my wedding on 1/12/2025. Jonathan was able to accommodate schedule on a busy holiday season. The photos blew our minds ...
away especially how Jonathan selected views on the golf course to snap photos when the sun was setting. My sister recommended Jonathan after she used Jonathan for her wedding in 2022. This is a must have photographer for any events.

The colors he brings out in his photos are stunning, and his eye for the party shots is spot on, capturing all the energy and joy of the night. Jonathan seriously knows what he’s doing, and we’re beyond grateful to have these incredible memories. Highly recommend!

y. Jonathan was communicative throughout the wedding process. Always answering my emails or text with any questions that I had in such quick responses that gave me much ease. Day of wedding Jonathan was very professional, and his vibe was so chill and vibrant at the same time. He was so sweet and calm never making us feel rushed. Even while us girls were running late Dyer made use of the paid time and took pictures of my dress, rings, and even created a cute set up with all my accessories while he waited. Jonathan worked with one of our videographers who he was not partnered with. He worked with her so well it almost seemed as if they were a team. She quickly took his lead as Jonathan had the eye for every shot he took as far as background, lighting, and poses. All the while being patient and respectfully asking her if she got the shots she needed before he moved on. He was such a delight to have as he was in the shadows some how never in the way capturing EVERYTHING. The quality of the pictures are beyond the best I've ever seen of myself. Made my husband and I look like models! Receiving our album was like watching a movie. Jonathan didn't miss a thing to me tossing the bouquet to it being in the air to one catching it. Truly mind blowing. Any picture request that I had in the moment he captured. We received a ton of pictures which I LOVE. Also making it hard to pick from because the pictures are all beautiful. We received sneak peaks three days from our wedding which we were grateful for. Received the full album a week or so later which timed perfectly coming back from our honeymoon. DO NOT MISS OUT ON JD PHOTOGRAPHY. The price was at an extended offer for 2023 so we got a reasonable package. Without the offer the prices still wouldn't have broken the bank or wouldn't have been found with any other photography company with the talent Jonathan has. Absolutely worth the money. 10/10 recommend JD Photography!

From start to finish it was an absolute pleasure working with Jonathan Dyer Photography. Not only was he helpful and open to all of our wedding day needs, his calmness, professiona...
lism, and ability to make us feel comfortable in front of the camera was a major plus. Prior to the wedding day, he was always available to talk on the phone, plan, and make sure he had firm grasp on the schedule of the day, along with particular photographs we were looking for, which made both myself and Charlotte feel confident that we had made the right decision in choosing JDP. What more can I say than we are in love with our wedding pictures! He captured all of the important moments we were hoping for and so much more including friends and relatives engaging with one another, beautiful shots of our rings, and even photographs along the way as we requested them. While searching for a photographer I noticed that Jon also shoots sports events, to which I mentioned to him that, “anyone who can capture a fastball in crisp focus, won my confidence that he could capture a kiss,” which he did in many natural, fun ways. We are extremely happy with Jonathan’s work and highly recommend choosing Jonathan Dyer Photography. His sincerity and attention to detail truly made our wedding day take life. Again, we highly recommend JDP and hope to work with him again in the future. —Charlotte and David

Jonathan was the best photographer we could have asked for! We were both nervous about the day and honestly feeling awkward about having so many photos taken, but Jonathan made us ...
feel right at ease! (We had smaller shoots with just the 2 of us in a couple of locales before the ceremony and reception). During the ceremony and reception Jonathan took a low-key role and captured many beautiful intimate moments (as well as great background shots) without being “in-your-face”. He had many great ideas and also enthusiastically took our ideas and requests on board. We received a preview set of photos in a couple of days, and the complete edited gallery a week after that. The result is a gorgeous set of photos that we will cherish forever :)
