About this vendor
Jonathan Gibson Photography brings a bold and unmatched vision to your wedding story. That vision comes from an intense commitment to work, a wellspring of creative energy, a restlessness with the typical, and an enduring compassion for others. I will listen, be attentive, and quietly document the monumental and the seemingly insignificant.
You have envisioned, planned, and crafted a wedding as one-of-a-kind as yourselves. I have deep pride in making sure your photos are just as personal and powerfully bound up in your rare story.
I am moved by striking beauty and revelatory meaning. Weddings have both. When we collaborate we will generate jaw-dropping images and find astonishing moments of poetry. I'm anxious to see what we will create together.

GO. RUN. BOOK HIM NOW. He is an ARTIST. There is a difference between photos and portraits. He creates portraits, he creates ART. I seriously cannot say enough about him. I am blown away with his work. He is so nice to work with. So imaginative and creative, and I loved that he had a photobooth option! It was one less vendor I had to deal with and he made it so easy! As a previous photographer, this man knows his stuff. He is quite literally an award-winning photographer. He is SO talented, and can shoot in any lighting conditions and it will be beautiful. Seriously. Go talk to this man now, you will NOT be disappointed. Bonus, he is based in Cincinnati!
There aren't enough words to express how wonderful it was working with Jonathan! From the moment we met with him to go over the wedding details and the vision to the wedding day, he was not only professional, creative and easy to work with, he was genuinely excited for us, and it showed in his final work!
He made something (getting your picture taken) that can throw people into a self conscious spiral (ME!!) into something that was fun and natural :)
I will never stop recommending Jonathan for ANY professional photos!!
Thank you for capturing the best day of our lives!

Jonathan was an absolute delight to work with from the very beginning. He was insightful, organized, and reassuring, and on the day itself, he not only produced the most incredible photos but he added to the occasion with his wit, good humor, and patience. He joined in the fun and made us feel totally at ease throughout. Thank you, Jonathan!
Jonathan is absolutely incredible - an absolute artist. He was so easy to work with and while he felt like part of the group for the day, he was also equally “invisible” when capturing shots too. His vision for creative shots and capturing special moments is extraordinary. You will not be disappointed to choose Jonathan
I've never seen a wedding photographer more creative than Jonathan! My husband and I got married at the Hilton Netherland Plaza, which is a historic Cincinnati Art Deco hotel. Because the venue is a little darker, I wanted to hire someone who worked well in low-lighting without making the photos seem too dull. After seeing Jonathan's work online, we knew we had to book him!
Despite seeing how talented Jonathan was from his previous photographs, my husband and I were BLOWN AWAY by how Jonathan handled our wedding day. Jonathan made us feel confident and comfortable, taking away any potential awkwardness that comes from posing in photographs. As previous theatre kids, we resonated with his creative vision and appreciated how he was willing to step outside of the typical wedding photo box. I also appreciated how organized he was for family photos during cocktail hour, which I know can be difficult to pull off in a timely manner.
Jonathan captured all of the perfect moments of our day. My only regret was not booking him to stay for the entire day. When in doubt, up your photography package - He's worth it, I promise! I have already (and will continue to) recommend Jonathan Gibson Photography to all my engaged friends!
We hired Jonathan for our June wedding at the Cincinnati Art Museum and it was one of the best decisions we made. He was an absolute pleasure to work with and made us both feel comfortable and relaxed the whole day. The photos turned out stunning and we cannot stop looking through them. He is so great at getting creative shots and special moments that many photographers might not think to capture. He did a great job at directing us and our family members and capturing every shot we requested. We are so glad we chose Jonathan to take our pictures that we now have to cherish forever. I would highly recommend hiring him for your wedding/engagement pictures - you will not regret it!!
Jonathan was the absolute best! He made my husband and I feel super comfortable throughout both our engagement and wedding pictures! Our bridal party and families couldn't stop talking about how awesome he was :)
Jonathan was easy to communicate with and was super flexible when working with us. We could not have imagined our wedding without him!!
Jonathan's photographs are absolutely sensational. He has an exceptional eye. Not only are the photos beautiful, but they are also very creative and that's what sets him apart from other photographers! He captured every minute of our day perfectly. I will never hire anyone else!
Jonathan is the most amazing wedding photographer! We were speechless when we got our photos back! They are perfect! He has such a creative eye for the most stunning shots that you can feel the emotion through. He made the entire process from first meeting him, through engagement photos and the wedding so easy and simple! We got our sneak peak photos back within days after the wedding and our whole album back less than two weeks after. We couldn't have been happier that we chose to work with Jonathan and how calm he was while shooting, which made us feel extremely comfortable as well! Would recommend him 100 times over!
We loved working with Jonathan. The photos are excellent. My husband has said that "these will be the best family photos we ever take" simply because the Jonathan is just that good. Not only are the pictures beautiful but we got them quickly. Jonathan and Nick were fun to have at our wedding and so easy to work with. You won't regret hiring this vendor!
We highly recommend Jonathan Gibson photography. Jonathan photographed our wedding and was a joy to work with! The pictures he took were amazing...he didn't miss a moment of our special day. He worked incredibly well with our 2-year old flower girl and kept her smiling for the pictures.
If I could give more than 5 stars I would. Jonathon was the most fantastic photographer. From our engagement session to our wedding day, Jonathon captured every little detail perfectly. He was so easy to work with, his pictures are stunning and we couldn't recommend him more.
Our experience with Jonathan can be summed in one word: Sensational. If you are even in the slightest bit considering Jonathan Gibson for your wedding experience, do it, you will not regret it.
First of all, Jonathan was extremely professional, cordial, and exciting. We met Jonathan the day before our wedding for a photoshoot and pre-wedding party, however, by the end of the day we did not consider him a vendor that we hired but more of a wedding guest and mentor. He immediately won us over with his innovative poses and designs. He worked with us meticulously to include and improve upon our photography ideas. Additionally, it seemed like he genuinely enjoyed the wedding event, communicating with guests and working with our groomsmen/bridesmaids to get candid and joyous shots of the party.
Wedding photography is an extremely nuanced field that requires extensive experience and education. Jonathan performed all the intangible tasks that make him stand out against any other photographer we have spoke with or seen at other weddings. A simple examples of this is that he carried an aura of energy with him wherever he went. This energy diffused out to all those surrounding him and even helped us loosen up, enjoy the wedding and take phenomenal wedding shots. Our wedding planner even commented that his energy was contagious and motivated everyone else on the wedding team to step up their game. Countless guests also asked for his contact information.
Additionally, Jonathan brought along two excellent assistants, Jess and Shelby, that proved to be just as professional and invested as he was. They worked with us to further add an extra spark to our wedding day.
Lastly, his photographic edits were elegant and flawless. He added his stylish signature that complemented both of our outfits, physical features, and wedding venue. Jonathan knew every angle to hit and capitalized on every moment. When we first looked through our wedding photos we were simply awe-struck, each photo was seemingly better than the last. We could not have dreamed for more beautiful photos and we are so glad that we will be able to relive our big day for the rest of our lives!
In summary, invest in Jonathan Gibson and he will invest more in you.

My husband and I chose Jonathan as our destination wedding photographer after our local photographer cancelled last minute. It was a stressful situation, but he made the process very simple. He came highly recommended by our friends and we loved the photographs he did for their wedding. Jonathan went above and beyond to be present for our three day celebration. He is so kind and easy to work with. He is very flexible and accomodating. Jonathan is so artistic and incredibly talented. We absolutely LOVE our wedding photos and honestly could not be happier with his work. His ability to capture our wedding celebration in such a unique and special way has been such a blessing. We are so grateful things worked out the way they did so that Jonathan could be our wedding photographer. We will definitely ask for Jonathan to capture our future life events.
Jonathan was such an important part of our day! He truly didn't miss a moment. We are so glad we booked him and would highly recommend him for your day. We had so many guests comment on how Jonathan "didn't stop" the entire night. He made sure he captured absolutely everything and have photos we will cherish forever! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!
Jonathan was professional, kind and captured incredible moments from my wedding day. You can tell he is passionate about his work because you can feel/see the emotion in each photograph. He was great to work with the entire day. Not only did he take amazing photos but he and his assistant were able to keep us on track with time. His calm demeanor and professionalism helped relieve any stress and put everyones mind at ease. Highly recommend!
Jonathan is the best! He was able to make my husband and I feel so comfortable during our wedding day and engagement photos. He was also very flexible with us when plans changed due to covid. His photos feel so natural and will always be a lovely reminder of our day! I'd recommend him to anyone looking for a photographer!
Choosing Jonathan to be our wedding photographer was the best decision! We have now worked with him three times: our engagement session, family photos, and our June 2020 wedding day. He is a true professional and so easy to work with. Jonathan was an amazing resource for planning both our original large wedding and an intimate ceremony. When COVID-19 forced us to change our wedding at the last minute, we knew we could still make our day just as special with Jonathan’s help. His flexibility and expertise put us at ease, and it was so comforting to know we would have amazing photos no matter what our day looked like. Jonathan has such a wide range of creative talent and delivered fabulous modern shots as well as beautiful traditional wedding photos. He perfectly captured our style and was a pleasure to spend the day with! We shared our photos with family and friends who were not able to attend our wedding and have never received so many compliments. The only problem is we have way too many favorites shots! We are so happy with all the photos and can’t wait to work with Jonathan again in the future!
The absolutely BEST photographer in Cincinnati! Based on our engagement pictures, I knew our wedding pictures were going to be amazing but I was still blown away when I saw them! His style is so different than your average photographer. I’ve had multiple people tell me that our wedding pictures are the best they’ve ever seen. We 100% recommend Jonathan Gibson to anyone who is looking for a wedding photographer!
I would recommend Jonathan to absolutely anyone looking for a wedding photographer. He exudes a calming sense of confidence and is incredibly pleasant to work with. He worked diligently from early in the morning until the end of our reception. He brings a second shooter, but he definitely runs the show, while his second shooter is more of an assistant. He has an eye for unique shots from even more unique perspectives. He managed to capture emotions and memories that I didn't know was possible. Even better, he got our portfolio to us in less than a month! I have received compliments from family and friends that they are the best wedding photos they have ever seen, and I have to agree. You will not regret booking Jonathan Gibson.
Jonathan is very laid back and easy to work with. Our pictures turned out amazing and I have zero complaints. I have received so many compliments on our pictures! Jonathan was a big reason we stayed on schedule the day of and the day went so smooth. He handled our large families and huge wedding party (23 people) with ease. I highly recommend working with him!
Jonathan was absolutely amazing to work with and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for the best of the best in Cincinnati. He is ridiculously talented, detailed, and diligent, which all are clearly reflected in the incredible photos he delivers! He stayed with us the whole day, made everyone feel at ease, and was out there with us in the pouring rain getting insanely beautiful photos. We chose to add on the photo booth and it was definitely worth it! He has a stash of props but we brought some as well and I just can't stop laughing at some of them. He truly captured all of the fun and love in the air during both our engagement session and wedding day, and for that, we are forever grateful.
Jonathan was the best! He created lasting memories for my daughter and her husband on their wedding day. We were thrilled with all of the time he took to learn what was important to the happy couple, and literally made their wishes come true. Extremely friendly and easy to work with, Jonathan is a professional who knows his craft, and makes the experience fun and relaxing.
Jonathan was absolutely incredible to work with! From our engagement shoot to our wedding this past weekend, he was so fun and easy to work with. He dealt with our huge families and wedding party with such ease and had us laughing and having fun the whole time. We can't wait to see the pictures from this weekend! Jonathan - thank you so much for everything!!!
Jonathan was a joy to work with! He has a very calming energy and an empathetic approach to photography. Prior to our wedding Jonathan was organized, communicative, and professional. He worked closely with us to make a list of the photographs we wanted and was receptive to our ideas and respectful of our preferences. The day of the wedding he and his second shooter were punctual and friendly and very patient with us as we worked to corral our large bridal party and families. Again, Jonathan listened to what we wanted and was able to read social situations to know when to move on to the next shot. He was also fabulous with our nieces and nephew when they were scared to have their photos taken. Finally, the photos are GORGEOUS. Not only are my husband and I in love with them, but our friends and family are too. I can't count on both hands the number of compliments we received on the quality and artistry of his work. My favorite thing is that Jonathan managed to capture details and small moments that my husband and I missed that, when combined with all other images, work in harmony to tell the story of our day. I cannot recommend Jonathan enough!
Jonathan Gibson is absolutely AMAZING and one of a kind! He captured some of the most artistic and beautiful wedding photos we've ever seen. He went above and beyond all day...including driving myself and a few bridesmaids to the church when our limo broke down. His passion for what he does shows and by the end of the night...he felt like part of the family. We can't thank him enough for everything! He’s truly the best and if you don’t get the chance to have him as your photographer…you’re missing out!
I was married in October 2018, and I am so impressed with how much Jonathan went above and beyond from our engagement pictures to the wedding day. The very first day me and my husband met with him he asked what three things were that described our relationship. This just really impressed me, because it showed how much he wanted to get to know us, and revolve our photos around what we love as a couple. He is so quick in sending your pictures, and is very easy to get in touch with. I can’t even express how talanted, personal, intuitive, professional, and hard working he is. He is also so attentive to detail and makes every photo so unique. The day of my wedding day the weather was misting and raining on and off which. I was so worried we wouldn’t have the pictures in Ault Park that I always wanted. Jonathan made it work, and the photos were absolutely stunning!!! - so I highly recommend him, and so lucky he captured the most beautiful moments, and turned them into forever memories. Lastly, what I also loved is that he stayed with me all day to capture the moments leading up to the wedding, while his assistant was with my husband. Overall, amazing photographer!!
Words can not truly describe how much my husband and I love our wedding photos. Jonathan was incredibly patient with us and our chaotic families and changes in photo location due to rain, and his calming presence made us feel like everything was going to be okay. Our entire bridal party appreciated the direction and guidance he provided to make us all look our very best. He captured our vision and our personalities perfectly and has given us the best reminder of how incredible our wedding day was.
Our photography prayers were answered the day we chose Jonathan to help capture our wedding day!!! Since day one of meeting Jonathan, he has an incredible way of making you feel extremely calm and relaxed, like you've known him your whole life. For our engagement session, he went above and beyond to get some amazing shots, scaling trees, trudging on the ground...his eye for a great photo is unbelievable. Our engagement photos were awesome; we had such a hard time choosing favorites!! On the day of our wedding, his cool composure helped ease my nerves, and his excitement after every shot made us feel so special and just as giddy. His passion for the art is obvious every time you meet with him. He will always come highly recommended by us and everyone at our wedding. We are actually sad that we won't get to see him again soon, he has become a dear friend.
Jonathan is incredible to work with! His ability to capture all organic beauty in everyday life is such a talent. My fiance and I recently completed our engagement session with him and are looking forward to our wedding photography! Jonathan is able to bring personality to the forefront, capture life in the background, and create such a magical mood through his photography. We are in love and would recommend him time and time again!
I would give Jonathan 10 stars if I could. We spoke to and met with a LOT of photographers before choosing Jonathan. Our photographer was the most important vendor to us. We wanted someone who we would enjoy spending our wedding day with and Jonathan is just that and more. He is a very calming presence which we think is so important on a wedding day. He photographed our engagement session, our city hall wedding, and, he will be photographing our official wedding day/reception in December! He is very artistic and has a great eye for what would make a stunning photograph. We absolutely loved every picture he took of us. He goes above and beyond to provide you the best quality of work. His pictures speak for themselves (take a look at his blog!). Above all, he is wonderful to work with. We are so excited to work with him in December and I don’t think we could have found a better photographer!
We are so happy that we chose Jonathan as our wedding photographer. The quality of Jonathan's photography is truly spectacular. His vision and artistic talent created amazing photographs for both our engagement and wedding pictures. He not only captured the meaningful details and special moments, but also the emotions we felt on our wedding day. Jonathan is very easy to work with and we felt completely relaxed when taking photographs during the engagement session and wedding day. Choosing the best photographer for our wedding was very important to us. These are photos that we will cherish forever. Thank you Jonathan!
I was originally interested in Jonathan due to his unique and gorgeous pictures online. I then noticed in a few of the pictures my girlfriend from high school was 'the what I thought to be model' (because the pictures were that beautiful). Speaking with her, she gave Jonathan outstanding reviews and highly recommended him.
Jonathan and his team was extremely easy to work with. He visited the venue (my parents estate) twice to scope out picture-areas and get a feel for our very complicated venue. He made the experience feel easy and effortless- he was the first vendor I picked. He worked for over 12 hours day of, was everywhere and took pictures of everyone and everything, including decor pictures. His personality and energy was contagious- my guests and bridal party continued to rave about him and his team. I would work with Jonathan again and again- the question is, would he work with us again HA! We were a very complicated venue and had 26 people in the bridal party with large families on both sides.
I highly recommend him and many guests have asked for his information after seeing his work at the event.
To say that Jonathan is just another wedding photographer is more than an understatement. If there are two things that I am certain of, it is the person that I married and the photographer that I hired. From the moment I met Jonathan, he did everything right to make me feel comfortable and relaxed. To accommodate my hectic schedule, he was willing to have FaceTime meetings at all hours of the day. It was clear to me that Jonathan was more than a photographer he was a calming presence during a whirlwind of a year. When we met him during our engagement session this couldn’t have been more true. Jonathan walked away with a smile that night even after we accidentally showered him with a bottle of champagne during one attempted photo. Somehow, he had the impeccable ability to flawlessly wrangle and manage our 20 person bridal party for our pre-wedding photos. The photos that we received from him were jaw dropping. Our hardest job following our wedding was narrowing down photos for our wedding album- we wanted to include every single one. I promise, hiring Jonathan Gibson will be one of the best decisions you make for your wedding day.
Jonathan was simply amazing. He was always quick to respond to any communication, and always very attentive to our vision in the meetings leading up to our wedding. On the wedding day, he was so professional and patient with our large wedding party, and made everyone feel relaxed throughout a long day. Many of our guests commented on how he seemed to be "everywhere" throughout the day, which was definitely represented in the quantity of photos we received. The end result of the photos are absolutely gorgeous, and the candids really capture all of the special moments we hope to remember forever. Jonathan came highly recommended to us, and we could not have been more impressed with our entire experience with him.
I cannot speak highly enough of Jonathan's calm manner, complete professionalism, and his ability to be absolutely everywhere throughout our wedding day. Our photos are stunning and, even better, the process of having the memories captured was not only painless, but fun! Jonathan took the time to get to know us as a couple before the wedding day and working with him was a complete pleasure. We will definitely be returning to him for any photography needs in the future!
We chose Jonathan after looking at some of the photos from our friend's wedding. The wedding was great, but the photos were spectacular! We waited with baited breath for our photos, and they turned out fantastic. The artistic quality was a cut above many of the other photographers we had seen. It's expensive, but totally worth it. He and his crew captured the day for us and we will treasure the photos forever.
Jonathan was amazing! He was so great to work with. He’s so calm and was such a pleasure to work with. His photos were also beautiful. I’ve has many friends get married this year and say they loved my photos so much they will be recommending him over their photographers. He’s seriously the best!
Jonathan's photography skills are unmatched. Our wedding pictures turned out amazing--gorgeous, glamorous and perfectly us. He captured our personalities so well and caught unique and beautiful moments throughout the day. We couldn't be happier.
He is super fun and easy to work with--making everyone feel comfortable and at ease, which really comes out in the photos. My husband and I were so happy we could work with Jonathan and highly highly recommend him!!
Hands down the most beautiful wedding photos I could ever ask for, and Jonathan is incredibly professional, and easy to work with. I can't begin to explain how highly I recommend Jonathan.
His work is the best mix of artistic and also glamorous, flattering wedding photos. It's the perfect balance to make your wedding photos not the same as every other wedding photo you see.
We worked with Jonathan for over a year, he did our engagement photos - which turned out gorgeous - and he was with us on our wedding day all day long. Besides his body of work, one of the reasons I chose Jonathan was that he had no time limit on his wedding day service. A lot of photographers do, and it made all the difference that he was able to be with us from getting ready all the way through the end of the night. When we received his photos back, we got to relive the entire day through his work.
He's a great guy, and so easy to work with. We had a huge wedding party and he kept things moving, so no one was frustrated with how long photos were taking. Huge thanks to Jonathan for capturing our day perfectly. We will cherish our photos forever.
I highly recommend Jonathan, you can't ask for a better photographer.
If you value wedding photography that is truly unique, truly going to capture every little moment that happens throughout your entire day, and going to be absolutely stunning, you need to hire Jonathan Gibson Wedding Photography! Jonathan and his assistant were a pleasure to work with, and I couldn't be happier with our choice of photographer to capture the most important day of our lives!
Jonathan Gibson is truly incredible! He has such a gift for photography. We could not be happier with our wedding photos. What we love about Jonathan is his ability to capture moments, not just the events. He was able to capture the love in the air, as well as some really great action shots that showed movement with dancing and running around. In one shot he even got a picture of someone throwing a dandiya (like a drum stick) up in the air -- he got a mid air shot that is incredible! I would recommend Jonathan to everyone getting married in the Cincinnati area!
Jonathan took both “couple” photos in autumn and wedding photos in spring for us. I have to warn potential clients to be careful when selecting Jonathan because he seems to render people speechless. We shared our photos with all our guests and others and the only things we and they could say were words like “Wow,” “Oh my God,” “I can’t believe…,” “Astonishing.” The photos were that good.
He has the ability to read people; so, he was not only able to capture the moments of the day, he was able to capture personalities, hidden moments, and grand gestures. He caught the small details, the impossible shots, and overall mood of the room and the guests. Several of our guests purchased or printed photos of the silverware, the décor, and even the wait staff to hang in their homes because of the artistic quality.
His art aside, he is so easy to work with: he is calm, efficient, unobtrusive, and one of the most genuinely nice individuals we have met. We had such confidence in him, we were able to focus on everything else we needed to do that day, and let him do what he needed to do. We were not disappointed. We seriously cannot thank him enough…and he might be tired of us trying to do that by now.
Booking Jonathan Gibson as our photographer for our wedding was the best decision we made!! Worth every penny! He was such a calming and kind presence on our wedding day. Most people don't realize when they are booking their photographer, but you will spend basically your entire wedding day with your photographer following you around in some capacity. Having Jonathan as our photographer was such a pleasure. He did such a good job directing our rather large wedding party without having to be loud or obnoxious. He also had a way of making my husband and I feel comfortable in front of the camera. It's not every day that you are followed around by cameras, but he did such a good job making the experience seem as natural as possible. He was such a profressional and we loved how our photos turned out. Thank you Jonathan for capturing the amazing moments from our special day. We truly will treasure our photos for all the years to come!!!
Absolutely incredible experience! We had Jonathan take our engagement photos, as well as our wedding photos. We were blown away with our engagement photos and knew he would do an outstanding job with our wedding photos. Boy, was that an understatement. Jonathan is the best around. My friends, family and my husband and I really enjoyed his company, his calm demeanor and the direction he took with our pictures. We truly could not be happier; and I'm a rather picky person to be brutally honest--I critique everything. Nothing to critique here! His work is flawless.
AMAZING. Jonathan was fantastic. He captured our special day beautifully. I could not have asked for a better photographer. He listened to us, was responsive, and got some amazing shots. He even sent us the photos in a beautiful wooden box, very classy, very high attention to detail. We met with him and one other photographer but his personality was just what we wanted, someone who stayed out of the limelight and got some amazing shots. Several of the guests have commented on how lovely the photos were. I cannot recommend him enough. You will not be disappointed with Jonathan.
Jonathan was by far one of the best decisions we made throughout our wedding planning process! He is not only an AMAZING photographer but an wonderful person. He is the best person to have with you at throughout your wedding journey. We had so much fun with him during our engagement photos - it was a memory we will forever cherish. He also allowed me (an event planner) to sit back and relax. Jonathan made sure everything was perfect and that each picture was captured with grace. My bridesmaids even commented on how calm he was during some of the crazy moments and how good he was at organizing all of my family members. HE IS TRULY A SUPERSTAR! The photos Jonathan captures are truly breathtaking. Every image brings my husband and I back to that very moment. I can not thank Jonathan enough for allowing us to forever cherish the best day of our life! We are forever grateful! - Much love - Kimberly and Tony :)
My sister, Madeline, and I both got married recently. Her wedding was in May and mine was a few months later in August. Initially, we had contacted some photographers from a bridal show and they were already booked for her wedding. Our mom started looking on her own for a photographer and came across Jonathan Gibson's website. Are we ever glad the others were booked! The pictures from my sister and brother-in-laws wedding were unbelievable. My husband and I also booked him for our engagement and wedding photos. He was with us from the time we started getting ready in the morning until the very end of the night and I don't think I saw him sit down once! He is always looking for the next shot. Our pictures are just as spectacular! The best way I can describe his pictures are they are like a story without words. Looking at them makes you feel like you are there, living the most awesome day all over again! We can't thank you enough Jonathan!
When my husband and I walked through our wedding budget, we knew the we wanted to prioritize the photography at the wedding. Everything else was fleeting, but those pictures would be around for a lifetime. We met with several photographers throughout the Cincinnati area, but none clicked with us personality-wise. I saw a wedding Jonathan did of a friend of mine from high school and was in awe of the photos. After setting up a meeting with him, we knew he was the perfect fit for us. He is very relaxed, not high strung, and very unobtrusive. What really captured me was his motto, "meaning before beauty". I love the moments he captures, not simply because they are beautiful shots (which, they are), but also because there is so much emotion behind them. He was incredibly kind to us during the planning process (even though we waited almost a year to take our engagement photos) and very helpful with trying to determine what the right package was for us. In the end, we got Jonathan and an assistant (Emily, also awesome) for the entire day of our wedding. Literally, Jonathan got up with me and stayed until the guests left the reception. He worked great in the time we allotted him to take photos, and every single one is beautiful. Whether it be posed photos, architecture, candid shots, you name it - every single one is stunning. The hardest part with the photos was finding only 75 to put in our book. Some of the photos look like they should be in an art museum, they are that stunning. In the end, there is no way to praise Jonathan enough. He captured our day in a way that I can never fully thank him for, and he was so incredibly wonderful to work with. I am already figuring out when the next time I can hire him is. Jonathan, if you're reading this, be prepared to take lots of our family photos in the years to come!
Jonathan was the absolute best! We used him for our engagement photos and for our wedding and we couldn't be happier. He has such a great eye that ensure your pictures will turn out wonderful. All of our wedding party was impressed by him and we recommend him to every bride and good we meet.
We had an extraordinary experience with Jonathan Gibson and his assistant Jess on our wedding day! He was present, but never in the way. His energy was vibrant and seemingly limitless. He made me feel beautiful and the photos showed how I felt.
Jonathan has an really great eye for capturing moments. The light, the expressions on my loved ones' faces, the joy were all there.
We are so happy with our choice and have been so proud to show off the photos.
Our investment with Jonathan is the best money we've ever spent!
I cannot recommend Jonathan Gibson Photography enough. He was fantastic to work with for both our engagement and wedding pictures, and delivered an excellent product. He was friendly, responsive, and was willing to answer all of my questions and fulfill all of my requests. On the day of the wedding he got all the shots I wanted and more, while being unobtrusive and efficient. If you're looking for a fantastic wedding photographer, I really recommend Jonathan Gibson!
Jonathan and his team were an absolute godsend on our wedding day. As the bride, I was extremely stressed out making sure everything went smoothly. Thanks to Jonathan, our photos were one thing I didn't have to stress about. Jonathan was easygoing, professional and on point. His team provided the perfect balance of presence and the ability to "blend" into the background. It couldn't have gone better. In addition, Jonathan's photos are some of the best I've ever seen. The composition, lighting, mood - every aspect of each shot is just breathtaking. I'm so thrilled that Jonathan and his team captured our special day, and I look forward to recommending him to friends and family.
Jonathan and his photography staff are true professionals! My daughter's wedding photos are absolutely stunning, both in composition and artistry. You can tell Jonathan has an eye for beauty in the everyday moment which he captures in each photo. His ability to work onsite without disturbing the interaction of the guests is impeccable.
I can say that I would recommend Jonathan to any bride wanting to capture the magic of her wedding day.
I've known Jonathan for 4+ years now, and when I asked him to do the photos I was delighted that he was available. Quality of photos, professionalism, timing, and everything included is well worth every penny paid. We had both a photobooth and a full day of shooting (12hrs - same cost as 4 or 5 hours!!) with both Jonathan and his assistant Jessie. They were absolutely the best photographers. Guests commented on how they knew the photographers were there taking photos, but they were not at all intrusive. I love his artistic, candid style!! Thanks Jonathan and Jessie!!!!
Beautiful pictures, easy to work with and very dedicated... He literally spent the whole day w us taking pictures and even climbed a tree to get a shot :) ... Would recommend to anyone!
Jon is the BEST!!! You will not find a better wedding photographer in Cincinnati. Our pictures turned out SO gorgeous and exactly how I wanted them. He is really great at finding out what you want and then making it 10,000 times better than you ever imagined! He captured the entire day beautifully and my wedding pictures will be something that I treasure for the rest of my life. He was also extremely fast at editing the images and sending me a CD of them (within 2 weeks!)
I can not wait to have another excuse to get professional pictures taken so I can work with Jonathan again.
We chose Jonathan Gibson Photography because a friend of ours gave him a great review. They were right!! Jonathan's service is unbeatable. We met with him when we were first engaged in order to learn more about his services, and we wanted to book him right away. He is extremely personable and professional, and his photos are gorgeous. We met with him for our engagement photo session, and my groom was a tad apprehensive...he does not like to be the center of attention or act "cheesy" for a camera, but Jonathan Gibson eased those fears as soon as we got to our location. Whereas some photographers can act loud and obnoxious and tell corny jokes to try to get you to react and laugh, Jonathan does not need to do this. He is extremely laid back and he comes prepared. My groom looked adorable in all of our photos because he was so relaxed. Jonathan Gibson posted a slideshow of our photos that had our song playing along with it. At least 5 people told me it made them cry because it was so amazing. We knew our wedding photos would be incredible if our engagement photos were so good. And it was true. Jonathan was willing to arrive at any time of the morning/afternoon on our wedding day to start shooting photos (some photographers charge you extra money if you want them around for more than a certain amount of time). He is so creative and managed to create almost a storybook of our wedding day. As you look at our photos, you feel like you are there in that moment. He is so wiling to accommodate your needs and he is so creative with his shots. I got tears in my eyes when I saw our wedding photos for the first time. He was there for every single moment. We could not be happier with the service we received from Jonathan Gibson. He is an amazing artist and a very professional, genuine person.
