About

I have been a visual storyteller for 13 years, photographing hundreds of weddings, people, and events all over the world. When it comes to wedding photography, my goal is to connect with my clients on a level that allows them to be comfortable, authentic, and feel special in front of the camera. Weddings days can be stressful, and the last thing a bride and groom want is to hire a photographer that gives no direction or guidance, uses unflattering poses, lousy lighting, awkward camera angles, and has no presence or likability. Let’s face it, unless you’re a professional model, being in front of the camera can feel outright terrifying! You have no idea what to do with your hands, how to touch your partner during an engagement shoot, where to shift your weight, how to stand, where to look or walk, and how to smile without looking nervous or feeling silly. As a skilled and professional photographer, with over a decade of experience, not only is it my responsibility to bring all the necessary equipment to make a shoot and wedding day successful, it is also my responsibility to be the director.

As a San Diego wedding and destination photographer, my ambition is to make sure your images capture the beauty and essence of your wedding day. The relationship starts from our first consultation and continues throughout your engagement shoot leading up to your wedding day and beyond. My team of seasoned professionals will bring expert posing techniques and creative lighting ideas that will make your wedding images stand out from the rest. We want to capture those candid in-between moments that can’t be recreated or rehearsed. We want to tell a story of your wedding day through the images we capture by bringing originality, passion, energy, authenticity, and enjoyment to your wedding day. We want to provide you with the best experience ever, so you FEEL the best and LOOK the best. We are Peter Jonathan Images.

Absolutely Amazing!

Just book Peter! You won’t regret it. Super cool and personable from our visit video call with him. He was very flexible with our engagement shoot and generous with his time. Let me tell you…his vision!? Oh my. We have GORGEOUS photos from our engagement sesh as well as our wedding. I literally could not believe my eyes once I saw the photos! Anyone can take photos but Pete has the vision/artistic eye for epic photos! I cannot recommend him enough!

Best ever, talented, amazing!!

We chose Peter and were scared, of course. We usually are not photogenic, so its daunting to spend $$ for something that may not turn out. However he is the MOST AMAZING and skilled photographer. We were so happy and beyond lucky to have him! He showed up promptly, was super friendly-- told me his plan, then spent time getting careful photos of scenery and decorations. He went above and beyond. He took pictures of everything and made sure he was around to do so. He knew our venue at Grand Tradition like a master and took lovely pictures of everyone doing everything. I took him aside and asked if he could do pictures getting ready with both my mom and stepmother, but separate. He then did so in the smoothest way possible and made it seem like no big deal so there was no awkwardness. We have yet to receive all our pictures, but what we have we were SHOCKED at. WOW!! That's us?! He even let me stage manage a bit and make sure to get all the combinations of family pics.
The ONLY regret we have? We wish we had a backup photographer so WE got more time with Peter!! He is so amazing and makes you comfortable and relaxed and knows all the proper posing to do. During our reception, he always kept an eye out for me to motion him over. We now want to do a post-wedding session with him, because he is magic!
He is worth every penny. Every single one. Don't even hesitate to book this guy. Knowing he was able to capture the day is an amazing feeling. We did a ton of research on what photographer or company to go with. I am a Fine Arts person, so I am picky! One of the best choices of our wedding was having Peter as photographer. Period. I cannot say how perfect it was because of him. This guy is spectacular in what he does.

We loved Pete!

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 in Indianapolis 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!
