Spectacular, A Genuine Joy

We are so pleased we chose Jonathan to capture our wedding day, he made everything so easy. He is a professional, down to earth and personable guy. It was genuinely such a joy to have him capture our day. My partner and I aren’t very comfortable in front of the camera, but Jonathan put us at ease and there was no pressure at all. Jonathan had lots of great ideas of how and where to capture footage and he also captured lots of candid moments as well. We felt so comfortable with him and he made the whole experience really fun!

We felt so at ease

Jonathan was fantastic for our wedding and I cannot recommend him enough.
He is very professional and friendly. We felt so at ease with him on our wedding day and although neither of us feel super comfortable in front of a camera, he made us both feel so relaxed.
We are thrilled with what Jonathan has produced for us! Definitely recommend!

Not only was Jonathan reasonably priced, but I cannot explain in human words how ridiculously amazing the video is.

He captured our wedding so utterly perfectly that we can't stop watching it, and everyone we watch it with can't stop crying.
Jonathan was always present but never intrusive and some of the shots he got were bits we'd completely forgotten about.

It's one of the best things we spent money on for our wedding day. Thank you so much, for something that we'll cherish forever.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
