Matt Sent on 10/25/2023Harley Bonham Capturing Love in Every Click
In the realm of wedding photography, Harley Bonham is a master storyteller, capturing not just images but emotions, moments, and narratives. His work is more than a collection of photographs—it's a vivid chronicle of the most cherished day of our lives.
From the first time we met Harley, we were struck by his passion, creativity, and the genuine interest he took in our story. He was not just a photographer to us but became a part of our journey, understanding our personalities and incorporating them into his craft.
The day of the wedding, Harley was a beacon of calm amidst the whirlwind of activities. His friendly demeanor put everyone at ease, making for candid shots full of natural smiles and laughter. He maneuvered effortlessly around the venue, intuitively knowing the best angles and lighting to capture every moment in the most beautiful way.
Harley's talent truly shined when we received our wedding album. Each photo was a piece of art, showcasing his incredible eye for detail and artistic flair. The emotions of the day were beautifully encapsulated - the nervous anticipation, the joyful laughter, the tears of happiness, and the intimate love. Harley didn't just take photos; he captured memories and emotions, allowing us to relive that day with every page we turned.
One of the standout aspects of Harley's work was his ability to capture the essence of our venue and the atmosphere of our wedding day. Through his lens, the venue wasn't just a backdrop, but a character that added depth and context to our story. He managed to capture the grandeur of the setting, the little design details we worked so hard on, and the warm, festive ambiance that filled the air.
In short, Harley Bonham is a photographic virtuoso. His work is a testament to his love for his craft and his dedication to his clients. If you're looking for a photographer who will capture your wedding day with a perfect blend of artistry, emotion, and narrative, look no further than Harley.
Thank you, Harley Bonham, for immortalizing our wedding day in the most beautiful way possible. Your work will be a treasure that we'll cherish for the rest of our lives. -

Harley was the photographer for our wedding on September 27th, 2020. He was absolutely fantastic! He pays close attention to detail, comes up with creative ideas for photos, has a great personality, and makes the whole experience that much more fun. So many of our guests commented on how great he was. I had major butterflies before Harley arrived, but his presence brought such a fun, bubbly, relaxing vibe. On top of that, our photos are beautiful and we couldn't be more thrilled with his work. -

We hired Harley to take our wedding pics. He and his team were outstanding. He took the time to get to know us before the wedding. There really aren’t words to adequately describe just how amazing he is. If you want those priceless moments captured, he’s your guy. After seeing the photos, my friend texted me and said, “The photographer captured how she looks at you. It’s everything.”Harley Bonham Photography's reply:
Thank you so much Melissa!! We LOVED being part of your big day and I'm so glad you're happy with what we created. I love my career and it means a lot to hear your kind words. We have a lot more to show you!!! -

When we were shopping for wedding photographers, we kept finding the same photos, set ups, etc; until we found Harley's website. My husband and I had audible reactions to every single shot we looked at, and we knew immediately that we needed Harley to shoot our wedding.
We were not disappointed. Harley, and his assistant Dana were fantastic to work with. He was fun and engaging, professional, and seemed genuinely thrilled to be chronicling our day. There were times when I forgot he was photographing because he was just so fun to be around.
The shots that he showed me throughout the night continued to give me the audible reactions that I experienced when I first saw his work. He was so passionate about getting each shot as beautiful as humanly possible, and he succeeded. Even though he and Dana were working so hard photographing our special day, they still made time to put together an incredible slide show towards the end of the wedding. I got to relive all of the moments leading up to us watching the show together, and he got amazing action shots of our choreographed first dance too!
I just got married a few days ago, so I haven't received our album yet, but I have no doubt that it will be just as perfect as my experience with Harley on my perfect wedding day was. Thank you again Harley!Harley Bonham Photography's reply:
Shannon thank you so much for that wonderful review!!! We had such a great time at the wedding and loved your reactions to the slideshow; can't wait to show you the rest!! Julie is working on everything this week; the gallery and album first draft will be ready in 2 weeks or less as promised. See you soon!!! -

Loren Sent on 10/26/2015What can I say about Harley... I had been in two previous weddings as a bridesmaid that Harley and his top notch team had shot. The photos from those weddings convinced me that I HAD to have him do my wedding. We just had a small catch... We were getting married in Montego Bay, Jamaica. I reached out to Harley and was pleasantly surprised that despite all the weddings, events and shoots he does he remembered me. We asked him if he thought he would be able to travel to Jamaica for a week for our wedding. He was ecstatic to go which elated my fiancé and I. Harley brought his amazing wife Julie with him to help shoot. She gives Harley a run for his money on what she shoots! That's for sure. They are the most lovely people you'll ever meet. Harley and Julie shot photos the entire week they were with us. From candids on the beach and in the pool to more engagement type formal shots. My family loved having them with us. His ideas for first look shooting spaces and his vision for photographs exceed expectations on all levels. His energy and enthusiasm are contagious and you can't help but have fun with him as he's shooting. We love Harley!!!! -
User1957388 Sent on 12/08/2014I just LOVE Harley. He is an amazing photographer, and has an artsy-but-conventional approach to his photography. I took 1 photography class a few years ago, which taught me the value of a good photographer. He is not cheap in comparison to some others- but he is totally worth it. He was punctual, and in charge on the wedding day. He was able to get my 3 year old nephew to smile and laugh in the camera, he kept my relatives-with-a-camera at bay while taking important shots, he was always easy to reach, very responsive and flexible. He really helped to make our day magical and capture all of the beautiful moments- both posed and candid. At the end of the night my husband and I did not want to do a traditional exist- Harley came up with the idea of a sparkler-dance party instead of a send-off. It turned out great, and at the very end of his time he did a slideshow of the images from that day. Our friends and family were in shock- everyone had great things to say and I can't say enough about how much we loved Harley. We tried to stay on a budget, and splurged on Harley- but for my budget conscious brides and grooms- he is worth every penny. Your wedding is only 1 day- but Harley's photos will help us preserve those moments forever! -

Samantha Sent on 10/29/2014Harley has a gift- he is a truly amazing photographic artist! My husband and I were over the moon at the images he was able to create and capture for us! We had an engagement session prior to the wedding, and Harley and his assistant were also with us for the majority of the wedding day. Even after a long work day all the images were beautiful right down to the last sparkler exit shot! Harley is great to work with- he’s fun and energetic, clear and professional and definitely put us at ease during our sessions. He has fun getting creative with shots- such as a shadow shot I requested during the engagement session, but he also brought a lot of experience, expertise and ideas to the wedding so that I never had to waste time working on a shot list. We told him what type of photos we like, which between my husband and I were two very different styles, and he delivered amazing photos in both regards. I am so happy that we booked Harley for one of the most important days of our lives, and I would recommend him to any bride looking for a high quality photographer! -
User1605672 Sent on 05/03/2014WOW! We just got our wedding pictures back and could not be more thrilled. There was not a single photo that we disliked!! I LOVED the unique angles and different lenses that he used to really add interest to the shots. Besides our photos being amazing, Harley is genuinely a great guy. He's so easy to get along with and has tons of great ideas. Even our guests have commented at how friendly he was during the reception when he was catching all the candid moments. He even surprised us at the end of the night with something extra that blew my husband and I away. We are beyond thrilled with this choice. -

Stephanie Sent on 01/19/2014I came across Harley's work and I fell in love, I knew he had to be our photographer! Harley definitely has a talent and passion for what he does. His work says it all. He's really professional and easy to work with and he will do anything to get the perfect shot! I love that he focuses more on your relationship and you can see and feel the emotions in the pictures. He made our engagement session and the day of our wedding so much fun! We have over 500 beautiful images of our wedding day. I seriously cannot stop looking at our pictures. All of our family and friends are just stunned by how beautiful they are. All of our pictures are amazing and as I see them I get taken back to our wedding day<3 Harley will not only be our photographer for life but also a good friend. Thank you so much Harley!! :)Harley Bonham Photography's reply:
Thank you Stephanie!!! It was such an honor to be there for you and Omar and I am thrilled you are enjoyed what we created for you!!
Talk to you soon! -

User1410772 Sent on 10/30/2013Harley is absolutely wonderful. Looking back at our engagement and wedding photos is breathtaking, and in the long run photography is hands down the most important vendor you are going to chose. We are so thankful we chose Harley and would do it over and over again. Not only is his work fantastic, but he is a super fun guy to hang out with, and he really helped ease some stress on our big day. We look forward to using him again in the future. I would highly highly recommend him, I promise you will not be disappointed! Thanks again Harley! -
User2093291 Sent on 04/10/2015Me and my now husband knew the second that we met Harley that he was the right pick! I had every person at the wedding tell me how amazing my photographer was. We had a few friends that were photographers that we didn't choose to photograph the wedding because we didn't want to make one person feel chosen over the other and all 3 said they were extremely impressed with him! He not only takes beautiful pictures, he is probably the happiest person i have ever met LOL. His presence just makes you want to smile. He also used two assistants, so he never missed a moment of my entire wedding, he was there from start to finish. I loved the resort we got married at 100 percent but I would have to say he was our favorite and best decision! If you get the chance steal him up for your wedding I promise you will not regret it. I know everyone says it but your wedding goes so fast the next day your sitting there thinking did this just happen I can barely remember it ? But the first few days after the wedding Harley even posted a sneak peak with just a handful of pictures and it made us so happy! Thank You Harley for making our day the most amazing day and keeping those memories for us
