Jonathon and Brittany captured our wedding day Beautifully. I could not have asked for a better father daughter duo. They were on time, very professional and took so many Amazing pictures that I can look back on for the years to come. I would choose them to be my wedding photographers again and again. I loved how comfortable they made my husband and I and our wedding party feel. I am not a fan of having my picture taken and they made the whole process run so smoothly. I loved them so much and I can’t wait to hire them again in the future. 10/10.
Jonathan and Brittany did such an amazing job at mine and my husband’s wedding! Such fun and great people to work with also! My whole bridal party loved all the incredible pictures we took! They truly are the BEST photographers ever! Between the great energy they bring, along with creative picture ideas, we now have the most stunning pictures to hold onto forever!! I’m so thankful they were able to capture beautiful pictures on our special day!
We just wanted to say that we are forever grateful for you guys. Growing up i lost my childhood photos due to a fire and moving so photos for the wedding are extremely important to me. You guys have been so flexible and understanding. Thank you so much. We are forever grateful!
Thank you does not feel like enough, considering everything Jon & Brittany have done to help capture our day. We truly feel like both have become great friends and we couldn't have imagined our special day without them. Getting to know them both has been such a pleasure. We received so many compliments from our family and friends about how amazing they were on wedding day, and we cannot wait to see all of the photos. Theirpositive energy and laughter is contagious. We couldn't have done it without them and without all of their kind words and endless support. From engagement shoot, to beauty shoot to wedding day... they have been some of our biggest advocates and some of our best cheerleaders. We consider ourselves absolutely blessed to have been able to work with them. They have always been quick to return our photos, and are always available to answer questions via call/text/email. The photos you will receive from them are nothing short of perfect! They love to show off their work, and take the time to make sure you feel heard. Professional, friendly, flexible, passionate, outstanding photographers. We can't wait to work with them again in the future!
We engaged Jonathan's Portraits for our son's wedding, and he did an exceptional job. He skillfully captured the atmosphere in the room and ensured that every moment we needed for our cherished memories was beautifully preserved.
Johnathon and Britney you are the BEST! We just met them a few months ago when we became aware that our cancer survivor daughter was engaged. We had to move quickly in order to have a wedding this past weekend. From our first contact over the phone to the beautiful engagement photo session with the icing on the cake being the wedding day, everything was flawless. We just love these two charismactic personal touch and sensitivity to everything people. Their professionalism, punctuality, creativeness and sentimentality was bar none! They knew just what to say and when, how to gently direct the wedding party. They took incredible candid shots, posed shots and captured the essence of the moment. We can't wait to see the portraits!! We have a 3rd daughter who is currently 23 and single yet we are already planning on them being our wedding photographers. There are no two other people that we trust with that important job! 5 plus stars for these two! What a team. More than satisfied clients and new Friends 4 Ever!
Jonathan and Brittany are the absolute best photographers I’ve ever worked with. They made us so comfortable during our wedding and engagement photos. Jon really knows what to say to get the most natural smiles. We got so many compliments during our wedding. After our wedding most of our friends either booked them or are planning to book them. If you wasn’t meant them for your wedding (and I promise you do!!) book fast and work around their schedule. We got back an insane amount of photos. They deserve way more than the 5 stars I’ve given them. You won’t regret booking Jonathan’s Portraits!
Jonathon and Brittany did my daughter’s wedding. They are two of the most down to earth people I have ever met. They genuinely care about their clients, their photography is amazing and they know how to capture the perfect shots. I want all of my daughters friends to get married and use Weddings By Jonathon’s Portraits!
I always struggle to find a photographer to capture what I want in a picture and Jonathan did! He was able to capture my family being us nothing felt staged, it was organic and the chemistry between us and him flowed! He truly is an amazing person who wants nothing but the best for his clients. Thank you for capturing my family and bring out the best in our pictures!
We are so happy that we chose Jonathan’s Portraits for our wedding photography! Jonathan and Brittany captured so many amazing moments throughout our special day! We love that you can see the love, excitement, and happiness oozing out of the photos! Looking forward to working with them again in the future!
OH MY GOODNESS I cannot express enough on how much fun we have had! The importance for me to have a moment for my girls to shine was on the forefront of my mind and they delivered ! Having a bachelorette photoshoot should be the next big trend that stays around for ever! It gives not only you and your party a chance to meet them but Johnathan and Brittany too! By having that extra shoot there were absolutely no jitters on our wedding day and so many people in our party knew what to expect!! We will absolutely be using them for anything and everything down the road! Johnathan and Brittany have this amazing personality that just shines through their work and even our families cannot stop talking about how amazing and fun they were! So hire them, use them, if even just for a pre wedding photoshoot with your party and closest friends. DO IT! My girls felt beautiful and I got to share the spotlight and they love sharing their photos too!
Cannot recommend fast enough!!!!!
We just had our wedding photographed by this wonderful, hilarious, and extremely professional man! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. He was on time and had SO MANY ideas to get the most amazing photos! I am not one to like photos of myself and actually do everything I can to avoid cameras, but John helped make feel comfortable and I love all of the photos he took! All of our guests said that he was always taking photos and didn’t waste a minute! Thank you so much for everything you did!!!
Honestly, our day wouldn’t have been the same without Jonathan’s Portraits! They were so nice, and they always knew how to make us laugh to get those real smiles! We cried when we saw the photos they took, cause it felt like we could completely relive the day on their photos alone. 100/10, we couldn’t have had better photographers! Thanks so much Brittany and Jonathan!
I feel in love with Jonathan's Portraits as soon as I saw his work. My brother hired him for his wedding so I new I had to hire him for my wedding! This Father Daughter team is amazing to work with. They are so nice and easy to work with that it felt as if we were working with family. I highly recommend them to anyone!
Jonathan and Brittany are absolutely amazing from their personalities to capturing the raw moments in pictures. Jonathan has done my moms wedding, family pictures, and is now doing my wedding. I’m beyond excited to have both Jonathan and Brittany capture our day in less than a year!
Jonathan and Brittany brought creativity and professionalism to the event that even the location managers noticed as "above-and-beyond" the norm in over 15 years of business.
They took our list of "must have" photos - and not only added beautiful artistry to "normal" photos they also snuck in dramatic\creative SESSIONS with : the various bridal party pairings, parents of the bride\groom, extended family, and on-location (honest) spontaneity.
Their ability to engage with the entire guest list (and the entertaining banter that ensues!) really brought a sense of community and TRUST that allowed for very natural yet stunningly professional photos.
We absolutely love Jon and his daughter Brittany!! They are amazing! We just had our engagement pictures with him, and he did a fantastic job! He truly made us look amazing! The pictures turned out better than we ever imagined! We can’t wait for our wedding!!
These bright and positive personalities bring out the most amazing emotions in people which create the most amazing photos !! I did my engagement , boudoir, and now my wedding with them, and will continue to do photos with them forever !!
Jonathan knows his stuff! He was fun, entertaining and made me feel like the most beautiful woman ever! He comes up with natural, un-staged pictures that are true masterpieces. I would never recommend another!
We have known Jonathan for several years and couldn’t think of anyone else to do our engagement and wedding pictures. I couldn’t be happier with the work he did! He brought such joy to our already happy day! For anyone looking for amazing pictures of your special events, Jonathan’s Portraits will do just that and more! We loved working with him! ❤️😁

Jonathan was absolutely AMAZING! Extremely creative! Photo quality and captured memories were way beyond our expectations! I would highly recommend him!
Jon is the photographer you are looking for, for any event! He will make you laugh to get that natural smile and his photos are remarkable. You definitely cannot go wrong if you book him.
We hired Jonathon for all photographic needs regarding our wedding, and couldn't have made a better choice! He was so understanding and easy to work with, made Everything go so smooth and professional. And all the photos that were taken made our day freeze in our memories for a life time! Can't thank him enough for the work done. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
We recently had our engagement photos done and we had an absolutely amazing time! From the photos to jokes and laughing, Jonathan is a great guy overall and booking him for our wedding in 2022!! Highly recommended!!
Jonathan was absolutely Amazing!!! We were all tense and then suddenly this roar of thunder came through and the entire atmosphere completely changed....the party was well on its way!!! He captured all the most amazing moments of our wedding!! His photos have given us the gift of being able to relive our special day. You cannot ask for a better photographer. Ladies and gentlemen do not hesitate to contract him for your wedding. He made our wedding even better. Thank you!!
Jonathan has truly gone above and beyond to capture all of the wonderful moments on our wedding day! He also made our engagement photo session so fun and our pictures turned out so beautiful. He has a way to make sure he gets the special moments between you and your loved one. Everyone has been raving about our photos and it is also wonderful to hear that everyone can see the love between my husband and I, through our pictures. I highly recommend Jonathan as a photographer, you will not regret it!
Jonathan is not only a photographer that captures the best moments at your wedding...he is someone that brings such an infectious positive energy to your event. He treats everyone like royalty - even those difficult family members that will probably be at your wedding. You should definitely check him out. ❤️
My engagement photos and wedding day photos turned out phenomenal! Better than I could’ve ever hoped for. Absolutely would recommend😃
Jonathan was the photographer for my son’s wedding and engagement photos. He is so much fun and kept the energy up. Very great photographer who took beautiful photos. Hopefully my daughter gets engaged soon so we can book him again!!
Jon did our engagement and wedding pictures! He captured wonderful candid moments and made everyone in our pictures come to life ❤️ We love Jon and he does a fantastic job. We highly recommend him for your wedding!
There is no one in this world like Jon! There is no one else who captures your sparkle, smile, passion and purpose, even on a bad day like Jon! He builds you up and never let's you down. But the best part of him being the most amazing person for your self esteem?!? He means EVERY WORD he says <3 hire the guy who will capture the magic, but also your truest beauty!
Jon was an excellent photographer on our wedding day. He arrived on time and captured every moment. We are so grateful to have the pictures he took to last our lifetime. I would highly recommend him!
We have been so very happy with the wedding pictures Jonathan took at all three of our sons weddings!
We've heard from friends how they had problems with some other photographers.
One experienced that a bridesmaid and her boyfriend commandeered their photographer for a serious number of photos! Another that by the end of the night the photographer was quite tipsy.
So glad we experienced quite the opposite. Jonathan was always so high energy and upbeat, and the photos are fantastic!
We had family photos taken a number of years ago, and are glad we stayed with Jonathan for the weddings.
It's almost time to take pictures again before the next generation is gone.
I have worked with Jon for years now. He’s my go to photographer. He makes me feel at ease, comfortable and helps me shine bright during our photo shoots.
I hired Jon for a boudoir shoot and love love the images!
I will always have them and so happy I took the time to take these special pictures.
I highly recommend him!
Jonathan did an amazing job with our wedding in St. Louis! He is loaded with personality and has a knack for fun, unique, capture the moment pictures. We had a blast driving around and jumping out of the limo to take pictures on a whim. Great fun and great memories of a magical day all captured in timeless photos!
Jonathan photographed my daughter's engagement, bridal shower and wedding! I was blown away! Jonathan's eye for the details is amazing. He works very hard to capture it all! All our guests thought he was fun and encouraging during all the events too! The turnaround on the pictures was the best part! My daughter's weddding pictures... on a beautiful keepsake USB were in our hands before they returned from their honeymoon! We will be smiling for many years to come!!
Jon has done many pictures for us over the years from graduation pictures, to professional headshots, to our wedding photos. He doesn’t just capture the smile on your face, he also pulls the smiles through your eyes. Definitely the best! Definitely will always recommend him!
Jonathan photographed my son's wedding. The pictures were so awesome. He has such great energy and personality that allows him to bring out the very best in everyone that he photographs. We loved all the photographs and were so impressed with the moments and memories that he "caught" for our special occasion.
Thank you Jonathan!!
Jonathan was amazing to work with!! I was so impressed with him on so many levels. We have pictures of family members smiling and kissing that we never thought we would see. We have beautiful pictures of us together and also of our wedding party too. He made everyone feel so comfortable and relaxed the whole day. We are blessed by the pictures he took and hope to have him again to take more pictures for us as well.
Jonathan is the best! he is very fun, brings great energy, and this translates into all of his photos. He has a very good eye for all of the artistic shots and makes you feel so good and natural in front of the camera. I can’t wait to see my wedding pictures when he’s done with them! We enjoyed every second of our special day with him and I know he captured all of the special moments. Definitely recommend!!!
Jonathan is a fun photographer to work with! My sister’s engagement pictures were awesome and I can’t wait to see the wedding photos. He knows the right spots and cool shots to take. Would recommend to those looking for one!!
You can tell Jonathan is a seasoned professional right away. We had Jonathan do our engagement and wedding photos a few years ago, and we were very pleased. He is very energetic and gets great shots. Also enjoyed his interaction for the family photos. Nice to run into him at Wisconsin State Fair this past summer.
Jon did my daughters wedding and i couldn't have been happier. He is fun and energetic, has a keen eye for fantastic picture's. Will always get my recommendation !!!
If you are looking for an energetic, fun and amazing photographer Jonathan is the one! One of the things that was most complimented by our guests after the wedding was how easy and fun he was to work with there and once they saw the pictures they were blown away. He can take someone who does not like to be in photos and get a real reaction from them and get them having fun. The whole night if we needed him for anything he was right there, made himself very easy to find and get the right picture. His eye for scenery and where to take a picture is amazing. Not only did we find a great photographer, but we also made a great friend in Jonathan and still stay in touch with him.
Absolutely loved having Jonathan's Portraits as the photographer for mine and my husbands Wedding. He was so much fun to work with! He did a phenomenal job! Our Wedding photos are absolutely beautiful! My Husband and I could not have picked a better photographer! I definitely recommend using Jonathan's Portraits! You will not be disappointed!
I met Jonathan through my daughter and I am not one that likes to have my picture taken at all. My husband and I were planning a not so typical wedding, as it was Halloween themed and we were the beetlejuice couple. Jonathan was great to work with as his personality is contagious. We were able to relax and loosen up around him causing some great and totally fun pictures. Furthermore, he was able to get our guest to also feel comfortable and their pictures weren't posed. He interacts with the guest and fits right in. I'm glad we hired him and would do it again in a heartbeat! Thanks Jonathan for saving our memories in such an artistic way!
We met Jonathan at the State Fair at one of his events, and we were immediately drawn by his gregarious and warm personality & took his business card to schedule engagement photos. He came to our home to do the photo shoot and we were so impressed by his creativity and how beautiful the photos turned out, that we booked him for our wedding photos. Then when my son needed senior photos done, I insisted on Jonathan’s photography, knowing they would turn out fabulous (even though my son is not a fan of being in front of a camera)! Jonathan is truly one of a kind.
We have had Jon take all of our family pictures growing up, so it was only natural when the big day came that he was a party of that too!!! I'm so blessed to have an incredible, fun, personable photographer on our side!!!
Jonathan and Wendy made our day so much fun! We first met with Jonathan about a year before our wedding to go over what we were looking for. He was so personable and friendly and knew exactly the vibe we were looking for. He took our engagement photos as well and did such a wonderful job with them! We got the disc with full rights to the photos within a few weeks. On our wedding day, his wife Wendy and him were all over the place making sure to get photos of everything and I am so appreciative! They made sure to get all of the best moments of our entire day. They were there from the time we were getting ready to the end of the night snapping away. All of our family and friends enjoyed having Jonathan and Wendy around, they made everyone feel comfortable while taking photos and everyone looked fantastic!! We also got a disc and rights to those photos as well so I can share them with our family. We definitely plan to use them again in the future for our family photos when the time comes!
