Jonathan and his team immediately made us feel so relaxed and excited to get our weekend going! We never felt rushed, stiff, or obliged to take a single photo. Jonathan gave us, our wedding party, and all of our wedding guests such great energy that it was impossible not to return! We have been loving looking back at these photos and reliving the hilarious memories and also discovering fun moments from our guests' perspectives. Jonathan would scope out a scene and put together an amazing photoshoot. There were many times that we forgot that we were taking pictures because we were having so much fun! We highly recommend Jonathan Hare Photography to make AND capture your special memories!
THE BEST! I can’t even begin to explain how lucky we are to have Jonathan capture this special day. We were blown away by his kindness, easygoing attitude, professionalism, creativity, effort, and hard work. These are the best photos my husband and I have ever seen. He was so patient with us. Amazing with kids too. Words can’t describe how amazing this photographer is. 12/10 recommend. He made our wedding so special, we are blessed he was a part of it. He even showed us a preview at dinner! Everyone at our wedding spoke so highly of him and his team. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts Jonathan!
Where do I even begin about Jonathan. He was so kind, patient with our requests and really captured us as our most authentic selves allowing us to live in the moment and enjoy our day. He even previewed some photos with us the night of our wedding and they were absolutely gorgeous. He was the true MVP of the day working quickly to let us get beautiful photos while also giving us so much free time with our guests. This man is worth every penny and made our day so special.
Jonathan was the perfect addition to our Wedding day. He worked with the bridal party and the whole family to ensure we had the best pictures, without sacrificing any quality time with eachother. He had the best attitude and unique ideas to ensure we would have original and memorable photos from our wedding day. We could not recommend him more!
Jonathan was amazing to work with start to finish. Extremely responsive and personable from the first interaction to the last. We were able to share our ideas before and during the wedding. Jonathan was incredibly accommodating and went above and beyond to ensure we captured every possible moment.
Jonathan Hare was absolutely amazing for our wedding photos. We cannot believe how stunning they are!! We highly recommend him for any photography projects that you might have! He was professional, kind, and amazing. I cannot say enough good things about him!!
Jonathan is truly the best! He is so kind and passionate about what he does and it shows in his work. He not only is INCREDIBLE at what he does but he is SO FUN to have with you all day on your wedding. We are so grateful for his kindness, fun and infectious personality, and now friendship. Do yourself a favor a hire JHare! You will not regret it.
Jonathan was an incredible photographer for our special day! He made us feel comfortable right off the bat with his warm and inviting personality. His eye for detail in his photography is amazing and our wedding pictures came out even better than we could have imagined. I would highly recommend Jonathan to photograph anyone's wedding! He is an absolute professional.
Words cannot express how thankful we are to Jon for spending our entire wedding day with us and making it such a great experience. Jon was so easy going and took some breath taking shots. We ended up with so many amazing pictures that captured our very special day. Jon is super talented and the high quality of his work left us speechless. We are so grateful to Jon for agreeing to take our wedding pictures and feel so proud to show them. My husband and I highly recommend him to capture your special day!
Jonathan was perfect! My husband and I are both very awkward in photos, but Jonathan was able to direct us effortlessly. He was patient with us as we tried to get our dog to cooperate and even made the flower girl feel included by letting her be his assistant for part of the day.
The pictures turned out amazing! By dinner, he had already edited about 25 photos to show us as a preview. He then sent the rest of the photos (over 800!) within a week! We are so happy with his work and would recommend him to anyone who wants an easy-going and creative photographer.
Words cannot describe how amazing Jonathan is. You will not find a better photographer in Florida, and arguably anywhere else for that matter. His talent and eye for catching incredible moments is incredible. He put us at ease, which can be difficult on a wedding day because all eyes are on you. He also coordinated with our wedding planner and videographer on an appropriate timeline for the day to make sure that all of the special moments we wanted were captured. Jonathan even put together an initial slideshow for my husband and I to watch during dinner at our reception so that we could get a sneak peek of all the magical photos he had taken - Because he’s literally just that awesome. Jonathan also did our engagement photos as a part of our wedding package. We all traveled to Saint Augustine and took amazing photos around the fort and in the lighthouse. They’re simply stunning. And honestly, we just vibed so well with him from the start. It felt more like we were working with a good friend than anything else. What’s more - Jonathan’s talent was so apparent that all of my wedding guests who are having weddings in the coming years are also planning to hire him! He’s simply the best.
Jonathan was INCREDIBLE! I realized in all of this that the most important thing about your wedding photographer is their personality and truly the vibe they emanate that will influence you, your wedding party, and your wedding guests, to be free and happy in front of the lens. The photos Jonathan took were amazing, but a lot of wedding photographers take amazing photos. Jonathan truly loves his job and is so natural in bringing the best out of people he’s around. It’s a remarkable quality he has that is perfect for the important role he plays in your big day. On top of all that, he’s so creative and has such an amazing eye to capture unique moments you’ll remember forever through his photos. We absolutely LOVE the photos he took.
His commitment to his clients is another thing that is just mind blowing. Our wedding was in Boston in February. With a foot of snow falling on Friday, cancelled flights and chaos ensued from Thursday evening to Saturday morning. Jonathan scrambled so hard, I believe had 6 flights booked and cancelled on Thursday evening until he finally got on one to Philadelphia late on Thursday night. He then drove FIVE HOURS in the middle of the night with a snowstorm brewing from Philly to Boston arriving at 3 AM. We had guests that couldn’t make it, but he made sure he was there no matter what.
If I could give a million stars for this review I would, by the time our wedding weekend was over, Jonathan felt like family to us. He was so impressive and it was so evident how good he was at his job that even wedding guests were getting his info to hire for other weddings/events, and many couples commented on how they wish they had someone like him at their wedding. If that’s not a testament to how ELITE he is… just have a meeting with him, and you’ll see what I’m talking about. THANK YOU JONATHAN!!!!
I could go on for days about how amazing Jonathan Hare was on our wedding day. He very well may be one of the most genuine people we have ever had the pleasure of meeting. I think one of the best things about him is that the whole time he was there, I felt like a friend was capturing our special day. He was so professional, positive, and pleasant. He made me laugh the whole time which really helped with the nerves. I would recommend Jonathan Hare to anyone who is looking for an amazing person with incredible talent. In the words of my (now) husband - “Jonathan Hare is THAT DUDE!!!!”
Jonathan is an incredible photographer and an amazing person! We’re so glad to have gotten to know him over the past 2 years. As a destination bride, it’s so hard to pick vendors based on reviews you don’t know are real of fake. But when I saw Jonathan’s gorgeous photos - especially his use of light and playfulness with water, I knew I had found our photographer. But we also wanted to make sure we felt comfortable with him, since he would be spending so many hours with us on our big day. He was so open and chill - we chatted on FaceTime and then were able to meet up in person when we were in town looking at venues. He was so understanding when we postponed due to COVID and we finally got to have our celebration last month. From the moment he got there he was part of our crew - as if it was a good friend taking photos of our wedding. For someone who is uncomfortable and awkward in photos this was so amazing. You can tell he has a passion for taking photos and a real excitement when he sees a setup for a cool shot - and we were game for whatever! (although we drew the line at the blow up beach carnival slide when we saw there was water haha). During the ceremony he already put together a small slideshow of some of the shots, which was a fun surprise, and within days he sent previews. When my sister saw some of the photos she was amazed and was like “I was there! How did your photographer create this gorgeous photo?!” If you’re reading this, don’t wait another minute and book before the date gets snatched up! Thank you for capturing our big day!
Jonathan is amazing at his job and he made everyone feel so comfortable in front of the camera. He is so nice and easy to work with he seems like a lifelong friend but we only met him just weeks prior. Capturing some once-in-a-lifetime amazing photos for us we are so grateful we hired him. I can't believe our big day is over but now we have some amazing photos tell us a lifetime. I highly recommend Jonathan and his talent we would hire him for anything else we needed photos of. He's probably the best in the Tampa Bay area.
What a gift... Jonathon captured exceptional memories of our magical day! The memories he captured are perfect, using his creative touch we have unique photos to look back on for years to come. He is genuine, supportive, and has a great eye for detail. This is very important... on a fast paced day like a wedding choosing your team is extremely important and each vendor needs to add so much more than their individual talent to execute a flawless day. Jonathon not only stepped up with his talent but was also a fundamental part of our wedding day team, he brought a sense of calm joy that helped keep the day running smoothly... this is priceless!!
We first met Jonathan when he did our engagement photo session in Sept 2020. His amazing personality instantly made us feel very comfortable. After seeing how fabulous our engagement photos turned out, we knew we had to book him again for our wedding day. When you see his pictures on this website...I promise yours will be all of that and more! Everyone is still raving about our engagement photos AND wedding photos, months later. I would give him 1 million stars if possible. Great photographer and person overall!
Jonathan was absolutely wonderful!! We hired him to shoot our wedding on Anna Maria Island and we are thrilled with the whole process. He always responded to our emails within a day at the most. Helped us by taking us to the best places around the island for our first look photos. Was very easy going and all of our wedding guests complimented how wonderful he was. He got photos of everything we wanted and much more. Highly recommended!
Hiring Jonathan was an easy choice for our wedding. He is professional. He really makes you feel at ease on the wedding day. His work is absolutely amazing. He even showed us some sneak peeks at the wedding reception which was unexpected and so nice. He has done the photography at two of our friends’ weddings and they also had a great experience. I couldn’t imagine hiring anyone else! I highly recommend Jonathan.
Taking photos with him will not feel like you are "posing" and will not feel like "work." He is able to make the experience painless and actually fun for anyone. You will not be disappointed if you choose him for your special day. His photos speak for themselves!
We highly recommend Jonathan!!
When I first spoke to Jonathan on the phone I knew he was the photographer for us. He is incredibly friendly, personable, and professional! He was very flexible with us as our initial venue cancelled due to Covid19 scares. Glad he and his wife were able to travel to our new, small wedding in Sanibel Island. They did a great job! Our pictures are beautiful!!
Since, he shot our "engagement" pictures post-wedding. Can't wait to see them and use Jonathan for future shoots!
I don't even know where to begin with Jonathan! We found him to do our engagement photos, and loved him and his work so we used him for our wedding photos! When we first met him, it felt like we had already been friends, it was so easy to hang out with him and have him take our photos. With COVID, we did have to postpone our April wedding to October, and Jonathan was nothing but flexible with the switch in date and made it easy on us! We even had him come to our rehearsal for a little bit to hang out and take some cool shots of everyone (he fit right in with our group!). The wedding photos he did were literally breath taking. He gets so excited when he sees an opportunity, and it shows in his work!! I absolutely love sunsets, and he really captured some cool shots for our wedding. Jonathan also gets soooo creative with his photos and we absolutely love it. It was also so much fun to hang out with him on our wedding day! We are from MD, and wish we lived closer so we could use Jonathan's services more often! When we come to visit we will definitely be using Jonathan for family photo shoots! HE IS THE BEST!!!!!
If I could give him 1,000 stars I would!! Jonathan was BEYOND amazing!! Our pictures look like they were out of a fairytale book. It had rained about 5 minutes before we started our photo shoot and I swear no one believes me from these amazing photos. They look like they are painted, completely incredible. He was so fun to work with, made us laugh so we had perfect natural smiles. He captured every moment of the wedding and more. I HIGHLY recommend Jonathan. He is priced so right for his incredible work. You will not be let down!
Jonathan is an amazingly talented photographer, capturing all perfect and imperfect moments and turning them into beautiful memories. He is such a sweet guy and trustworthy. He made our very special wedding one we can remember forever.
Jonathan was honestly one of the most easy, laid back, hassle free, and lovely experiences during our engagement and wedding. My husband and I eloped out of state for our wedding with little notice. Jon made time for us and even made a special package to ensure we were able to have quality photographs without a large package we did not desire. His energy was calming and made doing pictures so easy and natural feeling. We cannot speak well enough about our experience with Jon as a person and the amazing photos we have already received. We highly recommend him to anyone!
Johnathan is the perfect photographer to capture such a special day. The most genuine and comfortable photographer I’ve ever met and I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my wedding. We plan to use him for any special occasions that occur in our life and I wouldn’t recommend anyone else.
My Husband and I cannot put into words how absolutely amazing Jonathan was. He just did our wedding photos at The Ringling Museum, we already got back some of his favorites and all we can say is WOW! My Husband is not a big picture guy, but with Jonathan he felt comfortable and had so much fun taking the photos. My entire wedding party would not stop raving about how amazing my photographer was and how fun he made the hour for pictures. He is so positive, super high energy and just a fun person to be around. I would 100% recommend him for your engagement photos/Wedding day photos.
Jonathan far surpassed any expectations that I had going into the wedding planning process. It started with our first conversation and continued well after the conclusion of our wedding. He was in constant communication with me from the day we hired him, promptly responding to any and all questions or concerns that I had.
Jonathan knew that I was anxious about feeling rushed on my wedding day. He sat down with me on his own time and worked out a day-of timeline that purposely built in extra time prior to the ceremony to make sure that we were able to get all of the shots that I wanted (and then some!). I was relaxed and calm on the day of our wedding, and I completely attribute that to his planning and his calming demeanor.
Every single member of my bridal party personally mentioned how much they enjoyed working with him throughout the day. His personality is contagious and he made all of the bridesmaids feel at ease.
Jonathan's style and vision is completely unique. His creativity is unlike anyone I have ever worked with and I truly believe he is in a league of his own. I would hire him 100x over if I could. My wedding day was incredible, from start to finish, and I absolutely contribute that to Jonathan. Highly recommend!!
I found Jonathan by accident while looking for a wedding photographer. While going through his galleries, his pictures captured my attention. The pictures were so unique. They captured the special moments of these couples perfectly. I decided to give him a call. From the first time we talked to Jonathan, he made it so comfortable to us with his friendly personality. Although his packages were out of our price range, Jonathan was willing to work with us. The engagement picture was so amazing that I couldn't wait for the wedding. We had the most awesome save the day picture. When we looked at our wedding pictures, it felt like we re-lived the day. Jonathan captured the essence of the day perfectly. I couldn't stop smiling looking at the pictures. His talent shined through with some unique moments that made our wedding pictures so special and not like another commercial wedding picture shots. We also asked for some Star Wars shots (my husband is a big fan). The pictures were epic. We are so thankful that we was able to have Jonathan as our photographer.
Truth be told, I’ve been following his work before I was ever engaged and was just in awe. His creativity and eye for the beauty he captures is absolutely amazing. On my big day, he interacted so flawlessly with my guests and wedding party. All of my beautiful photos were such a great mix of candid shots, while still making sure to capture the traditional shots important to us as a couple. He is an amazing photographer and we could not ask for a better outcome. I highly recommend especially if you’re looking for some creativity, fun and peace of mind on your big day!
Wonderful photos!! He was so great to work with, had a great sense of humor, and did a fantastic job! This made us genuinely happy in the photos. He really loves what he does, and will put all that energy into making your photos unforgettable. Family and friends all loved the photos! Worth the money!
Jonathan is such a great guy and an amazing photographer! He is so accommodating, dedicated, and up for anything when it comes to fun or crazy ideas for photos — even laying on the ground or walking a half mile to a banyan tree to get that perfect shot! His wedding was exactly one week after ours and we’re so grateful he was able to photograph our wedding day and even had some preview photos over to us just 3 days after his own wedding!! Not to mention, an amazing mini slideshow during our reception of edited photos from earlier that day. When you meet Jonathan, he’s someone you feel like you’ve known forever. He brought such a calming presence to our wedding day which helped keep everyone’s nerves down. We’re so thankful to have him be part of our wedding day!
Choosing Jonathan as our photographer was undoubtedly the best decision we made regarding our wedding. My husband is normally so self conscious with pictures, but with Jonathan he was so at ease! You can just tell that Jonathan truly enjoys what he does, he gets almost giddy sharing his favorite shots with us! His genuine excitement overflows into his work. He has a way of bringing out the joy in everyone. Even "staged" pictures aren't really staged because he has a way of making everyone burst into smile. He honestly goes above and beyond of just a photographer. He helped my husband get ready for the reception when his best man was delayed! In Jonathan, we didn't just find a photographer, we got a beloved and very talented wedding guest. Aside from just being such an enchanting person, he's an incredible photographer. I was blown away at how quickly we got our pictures back, and just how stunning they were. Flipping through each picture with family received an audible reaction; going through them all took so much time because there was just so much to admire! If you're on the fence about doing the engagement shoot or not, I highly recommend it. It gave us a chance to get comfortable with Jonathan and familiarize ourselves with each others style so that there was no discomfort or "adjustment" period on the wedding day itself. Our day punctuated by photoshoots flowed seamlessly because Jonathan and I both knew exactly what we wanted, and worked together to get exactly that. Aside from all that, he was just so much fun to be with! I can't recommend him enough.
Not only Jonathan an incredible photographer, he is a great person. He spent the entire day with us for my daughter’s wedding and I was continually amazed by his creativity and his eye for amazing shots. He also has an amazing ability to put you at ease and make you feel good about the picture being taking. And as one of our guests said, he is a fun guy to hang out with. Then having the slide show put together during the reception was such a nice touch, it allowed the guests to see what happened throughout the day and immediately shows his talent. Jonathan is definitely the top choice for a wedding photographer in this area
Stop your search for a photographer- hire Jonathan now! There aren't enough compliments in the dictionary for the work Jonathan does- he is a true artist!! My now husband and I eloped to St. Pete from Pennsylvania and I had google searched photographers in the area and found Jonathan's website among glowing reviews and it's all true! Amazing doesn't even begin to describe our experience. You'll get the sense that Jonathan does it all- travels far and wide capturing wonderful moments for his clients to cherish always, so I was slightly intimidated initially to call on him to give our nontraditional wedding a portion of his time- but he did not discount our little ceremony by the ocean with just my husband and I. He memorialized our day with vision that only comes with massive creativity and true passion for his craft. He was responsive, timely, personable, and really felt like a true friend attending our wedding that just happened to be taking amazing photos. We couldn't be happier with our choice. Thank you Jonathan for everything!! Now stop reading and go hire Jonathan Hare as your wedding photographer!!
I knew I wanted Jon to capture our wedding before we even got engaged. His photos were so beautiful and ranged form classic to creative. We were so excited that Jon was available for our wedding. His communication and planning gave us the confidence he would be there for our big day all the way across the country in Oregon. He arrived prepared and and spent the time to explore the area before the wedding to find the best spots to shoot. During the wedding, he always seemed to be in the right pace at the right time. He used his magnetic personality to stage all the formal shots, but also knew how to stay invisible for all the candid shots. We're so happy with the entire experience.
Jon is not only a great photographer but a great guy as well. His positive energy, passion, and overall disposition make him a joy to be around. You'll consider him as a friend by the end of the night- he'll fit right in with the rest of your wedding party! I would highly recommend him to anyone.
Jon did an exception job. I have not seen such a work ethic in a long time. Was there with us all through the whole day. The pictures he has sent so far are magical. What an eye!! Highly recommend.
We actually can't even sum up into words just how special Jon made our day! He is beyond talented! Everything felt so natural and fun, and before we even stopped to pose he already took the shot of a lifetime! What I really loved most is that he not only put us in our best light, but he put every single person we hold dear in their best light too and made it truly enjoyable with his infectious positive/upbeat/energetic personality! I truly can't thank him enough for traveling to be with us and sharing our special day. These photos are an amazing memory of one of the best days of our lives, and from the bottom of my heart I'm thankful you shared your talent with us! Absolutely the BEST!!
Jonathon did an amazing job at our wedding. His personality and creativity blew everyone away! Many family members and friends are still commenting and inquiring about him. He showed up on time and stayed later than he was supposed to and an effort to get one last perfect shot. Really enjoyed working with him. This is one of the most important investments when it comes to getting married and trust me - it is money well spent!! Thank you Jonathon!
Jonathan is a true pro. I'm a hobbyist photographer myself, and I'm generally not so impressed by most wedding photogs' work. But Jonathan light years above most wedding photogs. He got amazing shots for us, and his creativity and hard work makes his photos really special. Rather than snap a bunch of boring and generic photos of us at our venue like most photogs do, Jonathan drove us around town in his car in the hours before our wedding day to get photos of us at various cool spots in St Pete, including in front of some fun street art. Jonathan really loves his job and enjoys shooting weddings; even though he's probably done hundreds or thousands of weddings, he didn't seem the least bit jaded. He totally made us feel at ease on our wedding day, as he is a calm guy who is a pleasure to be around. Many good photogs are a pain to deal with and have that artsy pretentiousness / arrogance / obnoxiousness / snobbery, but Jonathan manages to do great work will being a nice and pleasant guy. All the great reviews he has on this site are indicative of his skill as an amazing wedding photog.
I cannot even begin to explain how incredible Jonathan is! If I had to give up everything except for one thing on my wedding day, the one thing I would keep is Jonathan. I usually hate taking pictures because I feel like the process often takes away from the moments. Jonathan had a way of not only capturing moments but creating them. I'm not talking about awkwardly posed fake moments (there was NONE of that); but rather, he created authentic fun loving moments that you remember even without a picture. It is amazing to me that he was able to capture everyone in this perfect light. All of his photos are just beautiful and everyone in them is beautiful. He was so happy and excited for us that he alone made our wedding day feel special. At dinner, he put his laptop on our sweetheart table so we could get a preview and later on the piano for the guests to see. It was magnificent. We loved him. Our guests loved him. There cannot be a more perfect photographer. When I read a review that said, the person would fly Jonathan across the world to photograph their wedding... all I can say is YES! I agree! I feel beyond blessed to have had Jonathan photograph our wedding!
Jonathan was by far the best choice I made in planning my wedding. Recommended by a friend, his artistry clinched the deal for me in reviewing his work online for other couples. He is warm, gracious and easily blended in with our wedding party and guests. I would recommend him 100 times over.
AMAZING and CREATIVE pictures!!! Jonathan is easy going, easy to work with and has a great eye for beautiful pictures. My daughter loves pictures, but her groom was not a picture happy person. Jonathan made the groom comfortable and even got him to smile in a few of the pictures. I'm so happy Jonathan photographed my daughters wedding.
Where do I begin? Jonathan is an example of professionalism and he best vendor I booked for my event. I picked Jonathan because he is incredibly friendly, laid-back, and is all about what the needs of bride/groom. You can tell that this is more than a business or a job to him. His high energy and enthusiasm was a perfect fit for my high energy and busy Indian wedding. It ended up raining on my wedding day but he was by my side giving me constant updates and words of encouragement. He was so flexible with photo locations changing due to the rain. My guests also remarked on how nice and engaging Jonathan was throughout the event. From the minute I contacted him he was so responsive and professional. Main reason for picking Jonathan is his artistic and fun spin on wedding photographs. And how he takes simple photos and made them visually stunning. Jonathan more than stood up to the task of capturing the family moments but also the essence of our day. My Indian wedding was full of rituals and bright colors...Jonathan did such a fantastic job of capturing the colors, details and the overall vibe. The best part is how fast he worked on sending us the edited photos after the wedding. I became so emotional looking at the photos because I easily relived the day because he was able to capture all the emotions, fun and celebration. I can't recommend Jonathan enough! He is incredibly professional, kind and the perfect photographer to capture the memories that will help you transport back to the day.
My family and I LOVED Jonathan. Including the event planner for our wedding at Prairie Glenn Barn, they loved him, too! He was personable, kind and willing to do the must-have shots my mom wanted LOL His prices are reasonable and even far better than what I had seen from other wedding photographers. His photos are real and charming and we are so blessed to have had him be a part of our big day.
Saying Jonathan did an amazing job is an understatement. We couldn't ask for a better photographer or person to be a part of our wedding day.
One of the most important things about our wedding was having a good photographer... Jonathan was everything we wanted and more and we would have arranged our whole wedding around his schedule to make sure we had him! His work is incredible and he makes everyone feel so comfortable... in the moments that counted we didn't even know he was there but he captured every special moment in the most unique way. Not only do we have the most amazing pictures but Jonathan made our day more special just by being there. He became one of the guest and everyone at the wedding commented both on his work and on his charismatic personally. Thank you Jonathan we love you ! Samantha & Jason
Jonathan is an investment in the most amazing day of your life, being captured exactly as it was, to remember for the rest of your life. Jonathan has an eye most others lack. He is extremely flexible to do what you want but I promise your best shots will be the ones where he just "does his thing." This man is one of the most talented photographers I have ever worked with. I have some "photo-snob" friends and they were in awe of his work. Thank you for capturing every aspect of my day! My photos will be cherished forever!
We were truly blown away by Jonathan. He was SO personable, professional, and fun to work with!!!! He left a little sneak peak of some pictures he had taken by dinner and we were truly blown away!!!! He has an amazing God given talent for photography. Thank you Jonathan!!!!!!!!!!!
I promise you will NOT regret booking him!!!
Jonathan was, simply put, awesome to work with; his easy-going, confident attitude helped take the edge off of what could have been a stressful process (especially with multiple families vying for photo time). This is not to mention his photography itself, which was absolutely fantastic. We highly recommend his services.
Marrying my now husband was the best decision I've ever made. Having Jonathan shoot my wedding was the second best. The passion he has for photography is palpable, and he truly made the photo sessions relaxed and fun. I would recommend him a million times over!
Jonathan came to me as a referral from a co-worker who had been in many weddings with Jonathan as the photographer. She had glowing reviews of not only his outstanding and creative work, but of his interactions with the bridal parties and families. Choosing Jonathan as our photographer was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. After booking, Jonathan traveled 3.5 hours and spent an entire day doing our engagement shoot in the city and spots we wanted and the pictures were absolutely stunning. On our wedding day, Jonathan arrived early to scope out the most perfect locations, lighting and picture ideas in order to capture the most beautiful moments with our families, bridal party, and guests. Rooftop ceremony, beach photo shoot and ballroom reception-he captured it all elegantly and creatively to produce breathtaking photos that we will cherish for the rest of our lives. On top of it all, he was an absolute pleasure to work with! Jonathan lives up to all of his excellent reviews and then some! HIGHLY recommend!
We could not recommend Johnathan enough! The pictures are amazing and he is so much fun to work with. All of our wedding party complimented how easy he made the picture process and he timed it perfectly so we didn't feel rushed but still got all the shots we needed. We are so happy we used him for our wedding 😊
I had spent a lot of time looking at other wedding photographers. I liked their work, but it all seemed very posed, very airbrushed, and with not many candid moments. Plus, many only offered their services for 6 or 8 hours on the wedding day at a high price. Jonathan came recommended to me by a friend. Within minutes of looking at his photos, I was interested. He had a true eye for capturing incredible moments when no one was looking. Nothing about his work look posed or forced. I gave Jonathan a call and felt like I was talking to an old friend. Jonathan was incredibly easy, flexible, and professional throughout our entire time working with him. He stayed with us the entire day of our wedding. From morning to the very, very, very end of the wedding reception. The previews I have seen thus far are out of this world. Unique, fun, breathtaking are all words I can use to describe each photo. He even prepared a slideshow for us that we could watch at our reception. Our guests could not stop praising the moments he had captured! Jonathan was also a huge hit with our guests. He somehow managed to capture every moment of our day while blending in (without seeming like he was snapping photos in everyone's face, as we've seen some photographers do at weddings!) and befriending everyone. My husband is not one to feel comfortable in front of the camera and Jonathan had us laughing and at ease the entire day. So much of the wonderfulness of a wedding day comes down to the people you surround yourself with, and that goes to the vendors. We already are looking forward to hanging out with him in the future and feel so lucky to have found him. If you hire him, you will not regret it!!! He is amazing!
We really cannot say enough good things about Jonathon. The pictures are out of this world! We also had so much fun taking them. It was the highlight of our night. All of our friends and family can't stop raving about the pictures. He made our wedding day look like a million bucks and we can't thank him enough for the memories. He is a true artist and an all around awesome guy!
Jonathan Hare Photography is the absolute BEST. We used Jonathan for our engagement photos prior to our wedding and then hired him for our wedding day based on his work. After our wedding day, we will use Jonathan for anything and everything. His work is absolutely amazing. He really has an eye for lighting and color and he can envision beautiful photos and make them come to life. He was professional from day one, but added so much fun and energy to our wedding day. I had tons of guests coming up saying that they loved Jonathan and his team. We've gotten so many compliments on our photos and we are highly recommending him to family, friends, and anyone who asks. We can't even choose which photos to put up in the house because there are SO many great ones. I've worked with other photographers for friends weddings, cheerleading photo shoots (as a cheerleader and college coach), etc. and no one in the business compares to Jonathan. I honestly just can not say enough about him. We could not have chosen a better photographer for our wedding and we will be using him for all of our photography needs from here on out. HIGHEST recommendation for Jonathan Hare Photography!!!
It's hard to begin to put into words how incredible Jonathan is, in both his work, and his personality.
I have a photography background, so I was extremely persnickety about who I would have for our wedding photographer. I went through 100+ portfolios and found Jonathan's. I was in absolutely awe of his work, so we requested an engagement shoot with him.
Our engagement photos were wonderful, people had told me I'd have a couple of hundred photos and there would be only 2-3 I would like. We adored all of them. After our engagement shoot we couldn't wait for Jonathan to be a part of a big day, not just because of how excited we were about his photography skills, but because we got on with him spectacularly, and by the time our wedding finished, we already consider him a great friend.
I've had friends waiting weeks and months for their wedding photos, Jonathan sent us previews the next day, so I already had amazing photos to show the people who couldn't make it. When I say the photos were amazing, there is no exaggeration, Jonathan has a very special gift, and I cannot do more than say that he is the best choice you can make.
We just wish he would move to the west coast so that we can see him more, he will truly be a lifelong friend to us.
Jonathan helped make our wedding and wedding planning experience everything it was. Not only is his work UNREAL, but his personality and passion for what he does makes his work even better. Jonathan is one of the nicest people we have ever met. He made every single person at our wedding feel comfortable as if they have known him forever. He made us feel so special, loved and excited for everything that was to come. He was super accommodating to our schedule, budget and special personal touches we wanted to include in our photos. The list can go on and on about Jonathan and his work...absolutely AMAZING!
Look no further, because you will not find a better photographer than Jonathon Hare!
Jonathon is just absolutely amazing!!! Not only is he the most artistic photographer, he is also a fun-loving, caring and compassionate person.
Our wedding took place on 11/5/16
Unfortunately at our wedding, a mistake was made that resulted in my new sister having to be transported to the hospital via ambulance. My new husband and I were in shock, beyond sad and angry, and were unable to take a lot of the photos that we wanted to as new husband and wife.
During this tragic time though, Jonathon put his camera aside and instantly became a friend. He comforted the bridal party as we were all devastated. He ran upstairs inside the venue and brought down waters, and asked what he could do to comfort us. In that moment, he showed his true colors of the person he is, and you couldn't ask for anyone better.
Our families were beyond grateful for his help during that trying time.
My new in-laws headed off to the hospital with their daughter but instructed us to continue with the wedding, so we did.
Jonathon helped get the party started with his fun energy and amazing spirit. He even pulled my nephew to the side and let him take pictures alongside him with his other camera. So much fun!
Jonathon showed us previews on his laptop of some of the photos from the ceremony and during the times we were getting ready , and we were in awe of the beautiful pictures he had captured. It is difficult to even describe to you the quality of his pictures... simply stunning!
His candids are priceless! Just one meeting with him, and you will be hooked. His personality and photography skills will capture your heart.
So once again, look no further for a photographer, because Jonathon Hare is your man!
