Better than we could ever ask for!

We hired Jonathan for our August 2025 wedding at St. Paul's United Methodist Church and Hotel Zaza Museum District in Houston, Texas. We had an amazing experience with him and would strongly recommend him to any couples planning their wedding!

We just got our online photo gallery back, and we have no words to describe how happy we are with the photos. Jonathan had such an artistic and creative way of showcasing our day. We could 100% rely on him to capturing every special moment, especially the emotions involved. It's so hard to choose which ones I want to print and post!!!

Jonathan really went above and beyond for us. He is based in San Antonio but traveled to Houston and even showed up to the venue early. You could tell this is more than a job for him - he has fun doing this, which makes it that much more special!

I really appreciated Jonathan's creative autonomy and the liberties he took to capture photos we never thought of. He was timely and got so many photos without any disruptions to the day's timeline. I couldn't recommend him strongly enough!!!

Best photographer!

Jonathan Ivy photographed my daughter's wedding. He and his staff are very professional and he is absolutely the BEST photographer you can hire for a wedding!! He is very artistic and creative with his photographs. He also makes the couple feel at ease at all times and captures all the right moments. We started planning the wedding pre-covid and he worked with us as we had to postpone and re-set the date. I have worked with other photographers for different events, and Jonathan Ivy is simply the best!!

Jonathan is amazing

We searched multiple photographers online and viewed numerous photo galleries, and went with Jonathan as his work stood out as the best. He did an amazing job working with us at the wedding making sure we were in the right places, taking the best shots, and providing his recommendations throughout the night while remaining flexible to our requests. We are so glad we chose Jonathan because our wedding photos turned out amazing! We highly recommend using Jonathan as the process will be smooth and the pictures will be timeless!

Amazing Photographer! Hire him!

Truly amazing, beautiful photos. Jonathan Ivy is so easy to work with and an excellent photographer. He even got cranky kids cooperating and didn't let a little rain stop the photo shoot. Our photos look like magazine covers! I highly recommend!

Jonathan Ivy Photography is the BEST of the best!!

We booked Jonathan Ivy Photography for both our engagement pictures and our wedding photos- and we are SO happy we did. First off, Jonathan and his wife, Samantha (Sam), are super friendly and easy to work with. Upon first reaching out to them (after reading many awesome reviews online) they immediately responded and recommended meeting up for drinks/dinner to get to know each other. These two are the best of the best. They brought samples of their work and different high quality book options they offer- and we immediately knew we had to have the works. Jonathan and Sam are both very approachable and professional. Their photos speak for themselves. Jonathan has an eye for amazing photo opportunities and helps make you feel comfortable from the start. He excels at capturing the natural/fun moments in perfect, glowy lighting. Sam goes above and beyond to make each photo release feel special. They create a unique blog post, share links on facebook, feature you on their instagram page, and maybe even add in a special delivery of chocolate, champagne, and flutes to announce your wedding photos are officially ready (spoke straight to my heart!). Sam thinks of all of the details! At the last minute, we included in our wedding package a sign-in book, and Sam worked with us to make sure it was ready in time and even included pens that would work best with the pages. Book Jonathan Ivy Photography before they are booked up for the wedding season! You can trust them to capture all of the highlights and memories of your special day. We hope to find excuses to hire them again in the future. =)

You will be so happy you chose Jonathan Ivy Photgraphy

Jonathan is awesome!!! I spent a lot of time researching great photographers in the San Antonio area. Jonathan's photography style is very artistic, precise and unique to this area. The photographs are true to your memories. He is great with crisp and colorful shots. He is also so good at looking at his environment and finding great photo opportunities that captivate the environment and your love for each other. His photographs tell a story of your day which is so great to look back on and re-live. Samantha was great in coordinating everything they needed for the big day! Communication was quick, timely and organized. I would highly recommend Jonathan Ivy Photography!!! :)

Stress free & top quality

The best decision I could have made for my wedding by far. They are not only amazing at what they do but they also are very passionate about it and it shows in the photos. They have done my engagement photos, and they will be doing my bridal photos and wedding photos. They also helped me make huge decisions on the wedding like recommending when the ceremony should take place to make sure all photos were done in proper lighting. I would recommend them to anyone who wants to have amazing photos and be stress-free about photography. I also work overnight so have had to communicate at odd hours or have my mom speak on my behalf at other times and have always gotten a very quick reply from Samantha.
