    Awesome photographer!

    Jonathan was our photographer for our wedding recently and he did a fantastic job! We had a large wedding party, and we were working on a relatively tight time frame because of the timing of our ceremony, and he really jumped in and took charge and we got through the photos very efficiently. The photos turned out great and he was very thorough in capturing every aspect of the evening. He even created a very cool video to capture the evening (including some drone footage!). He also got our pictures very quickly and they turned out amazing!

    Jonathon is the best!

    Jonathon was truly amazing at our wedding. He is so efficient and quick, yet gets the most lovely photos. We received our wedding video 2 days after our wedding, and then our photos 5 days after our wedding! This was such a joy to look at during our honeymoon. I would recommend Jonathon to anyone!

    Jonathan was amazing, on time, easy communication, fast, and accommodating with such a large party. Our wedding video came the very next day. Highly recommend!

    Jonathan is a class-act, true and seasoned professional, and a ton of fun to work with!

    We absolutely LOVE him! So easy and fun! And, OMG...the photos!!! Gorgeous every time! We love the way he captures all the special moments of a wedding day!

    Jonathan was wonderful to work with. We loved doing both engagement and wedding photos with him, and can't recommend him enough! He has a fun-loving personality and really set us at ease, which allowed him to capture tons of beautiful photos in such a short amount of time. He's a real professional, and at the wedding, he was able to capture all our family photos in a very efficient amount of time so they could enjoy the celebration. He even put together a short video of the day and got it back to us the day after our wedding which was a real surprise. The video captured the feeling of the day and I know we'll be looking back on it when we are old and wrinkled to remember. Jonathan wastes no time and worked hard the whole wedding to capture moments and details of the day. He even used his drone to get wonderful perspective shots that are absolutely breathtaking. Getting high quality wedding photos is an investment that we are so glad we made, as we will be looking back on these photos for all our years to come.

    What can I say about Jonathan that hasn't already been said? If you're debating on whether to book him, do it (and thank me later!). To start off, guests RAVED about how much they loved Jonathan! He is personable, patient funny and SO easy to work with. We really feel like we gained a friend by working with him for the weekend! He was without a doubt, one of our favorite vendors to work with. I agree with one of the reviewers, with the quality of his photographs, I almost feel like he undercharges for his services! Jonathan has a real eye for good shots. He sometimes shoots his pictures so quickly that you wonder what they're going to look like, but I assure you they will turn out amazing. I am astounded at the quality of the pictures (not to mention the quick turn around time!). What I appreciated about Jonathan the most was how easy it was to talk to him. We were doing a Sri Lankan/Indian wedding ceremony, which Jonathan had never done before. He took the time to learn about the ceremony and asked thoughtful and intelligent questions in advance. The result? He captured all the important moments like he'd done this a million times. Bravo Jonathan, thank you for capturing our wedding better than we could have dreamed of!

    You seriously can't go wrong choosing Jonathan. He made our wedding 20x more fun by connecting with guests, getting everyone on the dance floor, and seamlessly transitioning from one part of the night to the next. Our photos turned out beautiful and we loved how he captured candid and posed moments. Also-the video is amazing and I loved that he worked so hard to get it to us so quickly. A true gem of a photographer :)

    You just can't get much better than Jonathan! The photos speak for themselves period. He captures all aspect of the wedding from the people down to the landscape. He was great to work from the start, engagement photos. The video he makes is an extra bonus and something we will cherish forever. Family and friends were so impressed on how much Jonathan did. We were on a ranch and he was all over the place making sure to capture the best moments of the day. Thank you so much Jonathan for all you did!

    Jonathan is BEYOND AMAZING! Book him now and book him fast…you won’t regret it. He’s by far the best value in the area…and in my opinion, he undercharges for what you actually get. I found Bluephoto through Jonathan’s blog and was immediately struck by how beautiful his photos where. What really got me were his 5 minute videos of your wedding day (which he gets to you the next morning!...whaaaat??). Our engagement session was a breeze. We had never been part of a photo shoot before and he made us feel so comfortable. He never asked us to fake any poses and he was able to coax genuine laughter out of us.

    Jonathan was the photographer for our wedding at the Loma Grande Ranch in SLO in September 2015. He was originally supposed to shoot our wedding in September of 2014, but 3 months before the wedding, we had to push the date back a year because I had been diagnosed with breast cancer and had to undergo 9 months of treatment. Jonathan was so understanding and accommodating. He never questioned my intentions and he was so supportive throughout the year. I was beyond excited when our wedding finally came and Jonathan delivered everything he promised. I have no idea how he dealt with my family portraits (40+ people) and our 20 person wedding party. But he did an amazing job! Our photos were sent to us on our honeymoon (unlike most photographers). But you don’t have to take my word for it…you can see his photos. They speak for themselves.

    We hired Jonathan to photograph our wedding and I think it was one of (if not THE) best decisions we made. He is a master of his craft and knew the pictures that needed to be taken without any direction. Jonathan captured every little detail and all of the big moments. He was super easy to work with and fit in wonderfully with all of our guests. He easily accommodated my request to quickly take family pictures after our ceremony so that we could enjoy our cocktail hour down in the caverns with our guests. Just two days after our wedding, Jonathan sent me our video - it brought tears to my eyes, as well as my husband, our family and friends. He made our wedding look like a fairytale. It was breathtaking! Shortly after that, we received an email with a link to all of our AMAZING pictures. Our guests and family were shocked that we were able to print/email pictures so quickly. Looking at the pictures brought back so many happy memories and also provided a great representation of things we missed during the busy night. Don't wait too long...Jonathan books up quick for a reason! He's seriously the best.

    Jonathan at Bluephoto is an incredible photographer! He did our engagement photos as well as our wedding photos and both turned out amazing! He is a pleasure to work with and makes the process fun, even for people like us, who aren't really used to being photographed. The way he works with the light is incredible and the complimentary video montagé he does for each wedding is absolutely incredible! We loved working with Jonathan and hope to hire him again when we become pregnant. We would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for fantastic photos of their big day, or any day.

    Book Jonathan today! You'll get beautiful photos, he's simply amazing end of story. But what you'll also get is a fun photographer who knows how to bring the best out of your group and make it fun for everyone. We loved our videos that he did as well. We're so happy he was referred to us!

    Jonathan is one of those vendors that you hope stays in your life for years to come. He is funny, personable and incredibly energetic. He just gets it. He is a magician with the camera and knows how to get the exact mood in every shot.
    What is perhaps one of the most impressive things is that his turnaround on our engagement photos was under 4 days. You normally hear horror stories of weeks and months but in his case it felt like a matter of hours.
    The man is nothing short of a genius.

He not only captured the special moments but also the fun ones! Jonathan also makes a short video that is priceless!! Just remember your photos are the only memories you will have of your big day!! It goes by so fast, but you can always relive it through photos!

    Our number one priority in choosing a photographer for our wedding was finding someone who could capture the important unscripted moments of the day, both big and small. We weren’t overly concerned with the posed shots of the two of us or of family or of pictures of decorations and the venue (although those turned out wonderful). Instead, we wanted the things that truly mattered: the look on my husband’s face as I walked down the aisle, my sister crying during her Maid of Honor toast, my dad trying to stay composed during our Father-Daughter dance, Matt’s grandparents embracing in an emotional hug. Jonathan Roberts of Bluephoto delivered. From the first time we talked on the phone, I knew Jonathan was the right choice for us. He is easy to talk to, extremely professional, honest and helpful in regards to helping the bride and groom put together their photography needs, and willing to do what the couple wants. On wedding day, he was courteous to our guests, efficient in taking family pictures (we got them all done before the ceremony!), unobtrusive to the events, and toward the end of the evening, a great dancer on the dance floor. The next morning, Matt and I woke up to a short video of our wedding set to music, and it somehow captured the feel of our wedding in a mere four minutes. We give Jonathan our highest recommendation, and we know that you will not be disappointed in selecting him.

    Jonathan is awesome!!!! I cannot even describe him. Everything below is basically pretty accurate! He is so much FUN to work with. He is SO TALENTED! Very prompt on replying to email and getting pictures posted! I loved having him for the engagement photos! He made me feel really comfortable and the pictures turned out AMAZING. And as for the wedding photos.... my heart basically stopped when I saw all of them! He also finished my wedding video montage the night of! I saw it the next day and I've seen it like 13 times now at least ! Jonathan is an A+. Please get your pictures from him! He is pure talent :)

    Jonathan at Bluephoto was by far our best wedding decision! We knew immediately when we met him that he would be easy to work with and we felt comfortable with him every step of the way. Our engagement shoot was amazing and we quickly learned how much energy and genuine love for photography Jonathan has. On our wedding day, Jonathan worked so hard to get every important shot, was on his feet for over 10 hours capturing so many amazing moments and blended in so well that our family and wedding party felt immediately comfortable with him. He was present on the dancing floor, jumping around with all of so that he was able to get plenty of candid shots.

    All of our guests raved not only about how awesome Jonathan was during the wedding and reception, but also for the wedding video that he was able to put together and post online for us the very next day! It was so special to be able to recap the night during our Sunday Brunch. What an amazing snapshot of our wedding the video was!

    As if that wasn’t enough to make us love Jonathan, he was able to get our entire wedding album up just one week after our wedding!!! I have had so many compliments about his work from guests and people who have seen the photos. We are so happy with all of the images and can’t wait to start printing some up! Our photographs are timeless – the quality we were most looking for in our wedding photography and the style will last us a lifetime. We highly recommend Jonathan for his impeccable service, passion and skill.

    Jonathan Roberts of Bluephoto is simply brilliant. Five stars isn't enough. Jonathan just goes above and beyond. My husband and I just got married last month at Santa Margarita Ranch and Jonathan was our photographer. We found him online while researching SMR and quickly fell in love with his work. Photography was my #1 and I knew right away that I wanted Jonathan to be our wedding photographer. We love his photojournalistic modern style of photography.

    From our engagement session to today Jonathan has been a dream to work with. He is not afraid to be adventurous with his photography and he is professional, fun, and easygoing. Our friends and family have been duly impressed with our engagement photos and our wedding photos.

    After months of looking at his pictures and wedding recap videos I was so excited for it to be OUR turn! Our wedding party and our guests LOVED working with Jonathan the day of the wedding. He fit right in with the group and was right out there with us on the dance floor! His wedding video recap is priceless and he often posts it quickly after the wedding - we don't know how he does it! He posted several of our pictures on his blog just a few days after our wedding and when the wedding photos were ready to view my husband and I were so excited to check them out. It was like reliving the day - he caught everything. Just simply stunning photography. My friends saw some of the photos and said it was straight out of a magazine.

    Jonathan is truly special. If you are looking for a phenomenal wedding photographer - go no further. Jonathan is it. LOVE LOVE LOVE. I want him as my family photographer for life!

    Just the two of us came from NC to Santa Margarita Ranch for our wedding; we were impressed with Jonathan's portfolio and new he was an AMAZING photographer from the very beginning. He served as our witness in our intimate ceremony and couldn't have made us feel more comfortable. All of our family and friends felt as though Jonathan's work captured the true moments we shared. Jonathan gets our highest recommendation.

    Jonathan recently photographed our wedding and we couldn't be more pleased with the results. From start to finish Jonathan's attitude was cheerful, energetic and relaxed. I'm not sure how he manages to encompass all three but he does it with ease and he doesn't miss a beat! We first met Jonathan at our engagement shoot and within minutes we felt comfortable with a huge camera and a stranger in our face no less. In fact, at one point he mentioned, "okay, you can stop kissing now." I suppose somehow we became too comfortable and forgot he was even there. Jonathan captures the real energy that people have; the funny faces, authentic laughter and the intimate moments that can only be seen from his point of view. He gets those shots that people find themselves thinking, "how did he pull that off?" Only we know that Jonathan is willing to sacrifice his clean clothes, get down in the dirt, balance himself and his equipment behind a delicate branch all while transforming something that looks ordinary into the extraordinary. The single most important decision I made during my wedding planning was changing my date to accommodate his talent. Not only did we get our photos back within days after the wedding, we also received an amazing video of our day in less than 24 hours! Yes, this single shooter photographer who spent about 12 hours shooting our wedding found the energy and time to process a video he put together while taking our photos at the same time? Makes you really wonder, how does he do it? His work is nothing but the best, his editing is clean and timeless. I know in 20 years when I look back at these photos I will know that he wasn't processing our pictures with the most recent trends that will only prove to fade with time. I honestly can say that I see no room for improvement in Jonathan. Thank you Jonathan, you rock man! Ashley + Abel

    I'm so glad we picked Jonathan as our photographer, we are the worst to photograph we just get so stiff and awkward!! But he was so much fun and helped loosen us up. Our pics are amazing! And our video was awesome! He sent it to us the morning after our wedding, it was so great to see before we left on our honeymoon.
    He rocks!!

    I'm going to echo all of the wonderful reviews about Jonathan because IT'S ALL TRUE, PEOPLE.

    Being a top-notch photographer is only half the battle-- the other half is making clients feel comfortable and covered. Jonathan wins at both. He's fast (but not intense), easy-going (but gets all the shots), and fun & involved (but he blends in). Sounds like some sort of super-hero-photographer, right? Just wait until you get the little mini-movie of your day! You'll be SO VERY thankful you chose Jonathan at Bluephoto!

    We are still getting compliments on our wedding photos, the mini-movie, and Jonathan himself-- just the way he immersed himself in the crowd on the day and how quickly he posted his work. What more can you ask for?!?

    Thanks again, Jonathan. You're awesome :-)

    Let's see, how to describe Jonathan - he's like a ninja that left ninja school, picked up a camera, and never looked back. Jonathan was everywhere at once at our wedding - on the dancefloor, up in the trees, out in the fields, up on the roof. You see him one minute and then he's gone the next, like some kind of photography leprechaun. All I can say is that if he is not ruinously violating all the laws of physics, then Jonathan absolutely worked his tail off at our wedding. Jonathan captured so many ridiculously awesome, stunning, funny, heartwarming, and genuinely candid pictures that you feel embarrassed that you aren't paying him more. And they all look SO good, to the point that I can't say to people "the pictures don't do it justice," but rather that"this is exactly how it looked and felt!" How many people really ever say that and mean it? When you work with Jonathan, you're signing up for all the professional qualifications: skilled photographer, punctuality, not-your-average-wedding-picture, etc. But here's the kicker - what you get is so much more than that. Jonathan has a warm personality and I really always felt like he was there doing more than just earning his paycheck. He interacts with family and friends fluidly, has a hilarious way of getting everyone in and out and on with the day, and he finds photo ops and lighting in places you never even saw it.Jonathan understood it was an important day for me and my wife and he moved and acted like he really took that to heart. He was always receptive to feedback about things we wanted, but what really pleased me was that when I told him to just do his thing, he didn't take that as a free pass to take routine pictures. He ran with it (sometimes literally) and pushed his photography above and beyond anything I had seen in his other shoots. Seriously, Jonathan clearly still loves to try new techniques and I absolutely encourage you to let him stretch his legs, a freedom that I think truly rewards the client.

    Jonathan at Bluephoto was AMAZING!! We found Jonathan after we had already put a deposit down on another photographer, but loved his work so much that we lost our $1000 deposit so that we could have him. We didnt meet Jonathan until the week of the wedding (because we did a destination wedding) but he immediately made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. Our engagement pictures and photos from the wedding are simply stunning; so candid and beautiful. We already have them displayed all over our new home. We love his ability to capture the raw moments and the lighting he uses in his photos is just gorgeous!

    Another great thing that Jonathan does for weddings is his video montage. From our wedding day, he put together a 5 minute video. This video is something that we will forever cherish. It is like a mini movie of our day. Our friends and family are still commenting on how unique and wonderful the video he made for us was. Everytime that we watch it, it brings us back to the happiest day of our lives:)

    We would without a doubt use Jonathan if we had to do it all over again and would highly recommend him to any bride out there who wants candid, amazing photos.
