So much more than a photographer

Jonathan was so much more than a photographer at our wedding. He was a story teller of our special day, a capturer of candid moments, and a composer of professional shots. He captured all the important details of our wedding, did amazing family photos, and also caught the fun moments that you hope to never forget. He has an eye for creating the perfect shots. We have so many pictures of us smiling, laughing, and even a few of the happy tears. Plus, he has SUCH a fun personality that got along so well with our guests and made them always feel comfortable and happy. You don’t realize how important that is until you have your wedding. 20 out of 10, HIGHLY RECOMMEND! The best wedding photographer I’ve ever seen.

Wedding photographer

Jonathan was the most amazing Photographer and such a fantastic addition to our wedding day. He was so kind, patient, easy going, and an exceptionally creative photographer! He made taking pictures so easy and natural for someone who has never been great at that. He was excited to be there and obviously loved his job, which made the day even more fun. Everyone at the wedding was complimenting him. The preview pictures were fabulous, and I can’t wait to get the rest of our pictures back as I know they will be beautiful. Thank you so much Jonathan!!

Jonathan "Hype Man" Hare Photography!

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!

Amazing work & amazing guy!

Cannot say enough kind words about working with Jonathan! He photographed both our welcome party and wedding. We really wanted to make sure our family and friends were captured, and he was so attentive to make sure he plenty of shots of not only us, but also our loved ones. On top of that, he was incredibly kind and made us super comfortable. Our favorite part was during our reception dinner when he shared a quick slideshow of about 20 pictures from the day. We didn't expect to see any pictures for WEEKS, but it was amazing to see a quick preview while we were still at our wedding. We've already talked about hiring him again for family photos in the future!

The best ever!

Jon is amazing! He has a vision and he will make sure to capture every special moment of your big day! I had so many complements from my guests about how amazing he was! He was running around sweating his butt off in the flower fields in May so I could have a little photo shoot! He was always right there if there was a moment to capture! He was easy to work with and very responsive! Sneak peeks are amazing and we can’t wait to see the rest!

Highly recommend

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!

Unforgettable

Jonathan is extremely talented and works well with grooms who “hate taking pictures”. He made my groom feel extra calm and made it super fun for us starting from our engagement shoot all the way to our wedding almost a year later. He easily became our family photographer for the future. I can’t wait for all the memories he will capture in the coming years.

MVP of the wedding

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.

Exceptional Photography Experience

I would give Jonathan 1000/10 if I could in terms of service and photo quality. He made an effort to ensure we got all of our desired pictures, while making them fun. He made the whole family and bridal party feel important in the picture taking process. He also has a unique eye that will leave us with original photos we will cherish for a lifetime. I cannot recommend Jonathan more!

Jonathan is hands down one of the best photographers in the Tampa Bay Area, if not the world! He is always so wonderful to work with, and his pictures are incredible. His easy going, happy personality only adds to the joy of the day. He truly loves his job so it is always wonderful working with him. The best part, he makes it look effortless! You barely know he's there during the ceremony, etc. and he produces these amazing photos. Also love that he plays a slideshow on his laptop during the reception of pictures he has taken earlier in the day. Guests love it! I will always recommend Jonathan Hare Photography!

The Tampa Club The Tampa Club Country Club Weddings

Jonathan is such a joy to work with. He has a very easy going personality and the shots that he takes are absolutely stunning and very editorial. Another great feature was that he sets his laptop up for the guests to see the pictures taken from the day. We loved seeing all the great pictures and so did the guests. We can’t wait to see the rest of the pictures he took from the wedding from last weekend and working with him the future.
