About

Because your wedding is so important... do not make the mistake of choosing a photographer just because of the Internet site and the lowest prices. You wouldn’t shop for your reception hall without visiting it and meeting the manager, or order food without having a reference as to it’s quality. The same goes for the person who will accompany you during the most important day of your life. You want to know that this person will not only create beautiful images but you want to feel that they understand exactly what you want and that you feel very comfortable with them. This is a decision that is a very emotional one, these images will relate and recall very special moments of this day; you want to be sure of making the right choice. You are investing a lot of time, energy and money in making this event, a memorable one. Take the time to look at your best value options. You know deep down, it’s not only a matter of getting the cheapest but getting the best for your money.

We are proud to serve the St. Petersburg/ Tampa Bay Area.

BEST Photographer ever

Jonathan gets 100000/5 stars if I could give him! Jonathan was the photographer for my parents 25th anniversary, so choosing him was a no brainer, but we were blown away with then photos from our engagement shoot, rehearsal dinner and wedding day! The photos came out AMAZING. He captured our wedding day beautifully and was so patient and calm amongst the wedding and family craziness. Best photographer ever!! You need to have Jonathan as your photographer for your next event!!

Perfect wedding photographer!

Jonathan did our engagement photos and we chose him again for our wedding because of how great he is to work with. Before the wedding, he was great with communicating all the details so I was never left wondering, and his responses were always timely. On the big day he blended in well with the crowd, chose great backdrops for our portraits and helped guide us on poses. He was extremely professional and easy to work with, we got our photos back a lot sooner than we had expected and everyone was impressed to see the quality of the photos! Overall, he exceeded our expectations for a wedding photographer!

Spectacular Engagement and Wedding Photos

Jonathan was both our engagement and wedding photographer. I was impressed with his responsiveness and professionalism, but his photos are the real showstopper. They were absolutely amazing and there were so many great photos. I cannot say enough about how happy I am with Jonathan’s services. We will definitely be calling on him for all of our family photography needs.

Best Photoshoot Experience

Jonathan is an amazing photographer! I would recommend him to anyone looking for high quality, stunning photos, captured in a relaxed and fun atmosphere. Even if you aren’t comfortable with a camera on you, Jonathan will talk you through every single pose and movement. If anything is out of place, he will make sure it’s fixed. It really was such a great experience. I surprised my now husband with the photos as a wedding present on our wedding day. He loved them and thinks they are absolutely beautiful. Now we both have some stunning photos to look back on as we slowly grow old together. Having a moment in time captured in that way is invaluable. Also, I did a lot of research before booking this photo session and Jonathan had the best prices by far! You can’t go wrong choosing Jonathan Fanning Studio & Gallery.

Working with Jonathan on our wedding day was such a pleasure. He was very down-to-earth and even grabbed appetizer plates for us while we waited to enter our reception. Jonathan understood how important our family and friends are to us, and he beautifully captured moments that we will cherish forever. He arrived early and worked seamlessly with our other vendors. We couldn't believe how many photos he was able to shoot, and putting together our albums has been difficult because there are so many incredible pictures to choose from. We highly recommend Jonathan for your special event!

This is so overdue but Jonathan did a fantastic job with our wedding photography this past March! I wasn’t too obsessed with the little details of the wedding but I knew I wanted an excellent photographer that could really capture the beauty of our church and venue. We got married in Sacred Heart Catholic Church in downtown Tampa, which has so much beautiful character and history. I knew I needed an experienced photographer that could really capture the beauty of this place, and Jonathan did not disappoint!! His photos were absolutely breathtaking and so well done. I’m still receiving compliments from family members and friends about the photos even months later! His photography is true art and I love looking through the pictures and reliving that special day. I’m so grateful to Jonathan for capturing all of these special moments. He is the best!!!

Jonathan Fanning is amazing! My husband and I just received our pictures back from our wedding on St. Pete Beach, and every picture is perfect! Jonathan did a wonderful job capturing my husband and I, as well as all of our guests. He was extremely professional, relaxed, and fun to work with throughout our wedding day! He has a great eye for details, angles, and the perfect lighting! All of his pictures are unique and capture so much emotion. We are so glad we had Jonathan as our wedding photographer!!

When looking into area wedding photographers, I knew that I wanted photos that weren't the "traditional wedding photos." I wanted my wedding photos to be different - to have an artistic, cool, modern and unique vibe while also capturing the emotion of our wedding day. When my husband and I were looking for a wedding photographers and we had our first initial meeting with Jonathan, I couldn't help but like him right away. We just clicked with him. I had seen his photography online, so I knew I loved his style of photography but meeting him in person - I could tell he would be both comfortable and fun to work with.

Jonathan is awesome! He's an extremely nice guy and incredibly accommodating! I did a boudoir photo shoot with him and not only did he make the experience comfortable, but he gave a ton of direction throughout the shoot (which was very helpful considering I'd never done anything like it before). The pictures turned out absolutely amazing and far exceeded any expectations I had for them. Jonathan made the viewing and selection process a lot of fun as well which helped narrowing down the immense selection to a select few. His pricing is affordable (even from a teacher's perspective) and he even went above and beyond to make sure that I had everything I'd desired. I can't wait to work with Jonathan in the future as he sure has a knack for capturing beauty from behind the camera & I HIGHLY recommend him to anyone looking for any photography needs!!

Jonathan was wonderful. The pictures turned out beautiful. We would recommend him to anyone looking for a wedding photographer. We won a charity auction from Creative Loafing and he actually donated his services as part of the auction - meaning he was basically doing this for free. He's a great photographer and a great person. He made sure to make us feel comfortable throughout the whole process. We would recommend him to make sure you have the best experience during your special day! :)
