Photographer was wonderful to work with and had my wedding photos back to me within a week!
Pete's incredible professionalism, organization, and high-caliber team made our wedding photos special and unique to us. Pete's attention-to-detail in coordinating, patience on the wedding day, and the amazing pictures following the wedding speak for themselves. Pete made everyday scenes come alive in his photography! We would quickly work with Pete again!
We would also like to thank Rich Miller (second photographer) and Tommy Kim (videographer). Thank you!
Pete is AMAZING.
I had a specific budget, but wanted to make sure I really clicked with my photographer. Pete was that person for me.
From before the wedding (a year out, when I booked him) Pete answered ALL of my questions quickly and with ease. He Skyped us to allow us to get to know him (and his cats) better. He was so accommodating and created the perfect package for us.
Pete did our engagement photos first, and I can't tell you how many compliments we received. The most common was that they truly captured our personalities - and that's what we really wanted.
Day of the wedding, Pete and his second photog (Rachel) were on time and on their game. Pete does some unique touches as well, which I appreciate because I am NOT creative. Pete is also a great looking guy, so that was appreciated by my bridesmaids :)
Throughout the evening, Pete was everywhere I needed him to be. I never had to tell him what to do - he already knows. He had preview pictures up a few days after the wedding, and final pictures up within a week!!!! I NEVER expected that! And let me tell you - they're perfect. I wanted to hug him after I saw the first 50 alone. And my wedding was in Bloomington, IN - and he had no trouble traveling there.
Pete is wonderful. Really. Book him.
I would hands down recommend Pete to anyone for wedding pictures, high school senior pictures, family pictures, etc. He is absolutely wonderful to work with and is able to deal with large and crazy bridal parties! I had only great reviews from our bridesmaids, groomsman, and parents about how personable he was throughout the day! He showed up at 8:30 am with the girls getting ready and hung out until 10:00pm at the reception. I can't wait to see all of our pictures!
It was a pleasure working with Pete! I had a traditional Pakistani wedding and I was a bit hesitant to choose a photographer who wasn't too familiar with the Pakistani culture especially our weddings (they can be a bit overboard sometimes). Pete really captured every moment and detail perfectly, I couldn't be more happy. He's very easy to work with and really guided us well during our pre-wedding photoshoot when my husband and I had no idea how to pose. We received our sneak peak pictures within a week during our honeymoon which made it even more special and had the rest of the pictures within a couple weeks. I would recommend him to all my friends as he is very flexible in creating a package that is perfect for you.
Peter made it easy to trust him. His work speaks for itself. It was easy for me to choose Peter when I saw his work and that he offers all day coverage. I wanted my whole day captured. It only happens once and every moment is important. Peter hung out with us the entire time from makeup at 8 am to the sparkler exit at 11 pm.
Pete did such an amazing job capturing everything about our wedding. It was a perfect day and he made it just that much better. He was very timely and organized, and kept us all to the timelines for the day. Not to mention, the pictures were GORGEOUS! He even met us in Terre Haute, free of charge, and stayed the whole day with us. It was such a relief knowing that I didn't have to worry about a thing. The coffee table book we received after the wedding was perfect as well- so creative and beautifully designed. We just could not be happier with Pete! :)
THERE IS TOO MUCH TO SAY ABOUT PETE! I could not be happier with my wedding pictures! He is laid back and so easy to work with. Peter was professional, prompt and knowledgeable the day of the wedding. He captured EVERY SHOT we could have ever imagined! Pete knows where to capture the best shots--we totally let him take the lead on where we should take photos and how we should take them. I am absolutely in love with my wedding photos! Pete was so quick to get them back to me. The day they were released was the least productive day at work for everyone who attended my wedding because they were looking at the amazing pictures :) Pete was recommended to us by a friend and we love him--we will recommend him to anyone! We were bummed to hear that he was already booked for my brother's wedding next year but I suppose that's what happens when you're a fabulous photographer like Pete! Book him early or you'll lose your chance to have amazing wedding pictures for the rest of your life!
Hands down best photos and cost in indianapolis! Highly recommended and very professional!
Pete did an AMAZING job at our wedding. He is professional, really fun to work with, and took amazing photos. Our pictures turned out better than I had ever imagined. My bridal party had so much fun working with him as well! He also edited our images and got them back to us very quickly. If you are looking for the best, Peter Jonathan Images LLC is where you need to be.
Your wedding day is one the most amazing days of your life, however it is also one of the fastest days of your life. There is so much going on as well as being a ball of nervous energy that it is hard to take it all in. With that said when I got my pictures back it was like I relived that day all over again. Peter Jonathan Images captured every moment that flew by. I cant express how happy I am with my pictures. Pete is great to work with. He was patient with the bridal party and family. His pictures of our rings, my dress and shoes are amazing and so creative. I would recommend Peter Jonathan Images!!
In a word--AMAZING! Pete was such an amazing professional to work with during our entire engagement and wedding-planning process. Of all of our wedding vendors, Pete was, by far, the easiest to get in contact with--he always responded right away, which really solidified our confidence in him. He came highly recommended to us by three of my coworkers (whose weddings he had photographed), and we couldn't be more pleased with his work! We absolutely LOVE our engagement pictures and wedding pictures...we will cherish them forever! Pete was able to photograph our dog and my five young nephews/niece, which was an accomplishment in skill and patience that he did with extreme ease. He captured my husband's and my relationship, our personalities, and our wedding style perfectly! Pete is professional, punctual, flexible, personable, and reliable! He has such a unique style that combines color, black & white, photojournalism, candid, spontaneous, and posed...he utilizes the best combination of all photography styles. We highly recommend Pete to anyone looking for a professional, personable, and reliable photographer!
Pete was an absolute pleasure to work with! From the first meeting with him, we knew we wanted to work with him on our special day. He is so personable and helpful and made us feel so comfortable. I think it's very important for your photographer to have that personality that helps you and your guests relax and feel comfortable in front of the camera. All of our family and friends loved working with Pete as well, which was a huge plus! We booked his Platinum package and it was sooooo worth the money!! Our engagement pictures were gorgeous and they made us so excited to see our wedding pictures. Pete was very responsive and always available to answer questions or meet to discuss the timeline, etc. I felt like he truly cared about our wedding and wanted to make sure he captured all the special memories and moments for us. We just got our wedding pictures back and I couldn't be happier. He has a way of truly capturing our relationship. All the pictures felt so real and honest. The candids were great, and so many of the shots were extremely creative! We loved the posed, formal pictures, but also loved that he showed his artistic ability and created very unique images for us. I would recommend Pete to anyone looking for an amazing photographer!
This is the second wedding that I spent with Pete. He shot my brother's wedding the summer before, so he was an easy choice when we were looking for a photographer. He and his assistant were with us all day and found great spots for us to take pictures. They were a blast to have around also. We chose the package with engagement pictures as well and they turned out great too. I'd definitely recommend Pete for any occasion that requires a photographer.
Pete was absolutely wonderful. We chose his full day coverage option which included an engagement session. He was always timely in responding and more than helpful and happy to answer my million questions. On the day of the wedding, he arrived around 9am and stayed until past 10pm. That's a long day for a photographer, but he had a smile on his face until the very end. Such a nice guy and his pictures speak for themselves. He's very artistic in his style without taking away from the reality of the shot.
Everyone at the wedding loved him! He has a fun personality and wants to make sure you get everything you wanted at your wedding. We did the "wars end kiss" pose in our city's downtown location, it was so much fun and did a great job of capturing the moment. =]
My family, friends and I absolutely loved working with Pete! His process is very thorough, with an introductory meeting to discuss inspiration, engagement session to get familiar with being photographed together and final discussion on shot list and aesthetics.
With all of the moving parts involved in planning and executing the wedding day, I knew I could count on Pete to provide a sense of peace! He was fantastic in organizing our friends and family for photos, everyone had such wonderful things to say.
Most importantly, the photos are everything I imagined!
Pete is so much fun to work with! We had a blast and love our pictures!!
Pete was very professional and he listened to our ideas. Our engagement and wedding photos were spectacular. Highly recommend him!
Pete was great to work with. He was recommended by our wedding coordinator. As a professional photographer myself, I was picky about how I wanted our day captured and he did a great job. He's easy going and photographed our day beautifully. He works with an assistant pro photographer as well, which gave us another perspective from the day.

Pete is the absolute best! He is so easy to work with and a lot of fun. He is totally flexible and laid back and takes the most beautiful picutres. We got all of our wedding pictures (over 800) back in less than one week. We cannot say enough good things about him and have now had him take family pictures as well!
Peter has a great artistic vision and I am very torn in writing this view. He's a good person and creates beautiful images, but if you are looking for a wedding photographer that will provide timely and accurate services, he is just not your guy. I battled with him over the course of about a year after our wedding just to get my wedding book that was included in my package. Many times I would send emails to only re-send them weeks later due to no response. He would promise it would be done before the end of the month, and months would come and go with no book. Finally when we made some headway, I received my proofs, but to my dismay there were important pictures missing or random ones added that I never even picked (this is simply just a blatant lack of attention to detail). Then continued more unanswered messages, even more waiting and no effort to make amends for all of the errors and missed delivery dates.
I think the major problem is that Peter books himself to the point that he doesn't have the time to provide his customers quality post-shoot service. I would rather a photographer charge more and limit the number of clients he takes on, than battle with numerous mistakes, unresponsiveness and false promises. I would also appreciate a photographer who is honest with their work load. If you can't get it done, tell me. No need to lie or fall back on your promises.
If you are using him for engagement or family pictures where you just get the CD of images, you'll get them fast. But don't expect anything more than that if you are considering him for your wedding.
Pete did an amazing job with our pictures! Everyone loves them and he was great to work with!
Pete is a wonderful and creative photographer who takes ordinary shots and turns them into something extraordinary. He recently took my engagement photos and they came out better than I could have ever imagined! I absolutely cannot wait for him to shoot our wedding!!
