    The consummate professional and a great guy

    Jonathan was an absolute delight to work with from the very beginning. He was insightful, organized, and reassuring, and on the day itself, he not only produced the most incredible photos but he added to the occasion with his wit, good humor, and patience. He joined in the fun and made us feel totally at ease throughout. Thank you, Jonathan!

    Exceptional photographer

    Jonathan's photographs are absolutely sensational. He has an exceptional eye. Not only are the photos beautiful, but they are also very creative and that's what sets him apart from other photographers! He captured every minute of our day perfectly. I will never hire anyone else!

    Jonathan's skill and artistry as a photographer captured the joy, beauty and happiness of every moment of my daughter's wedding. He is friendly, easy to work with and a consummate professional. His photos are thoughtful and creative and we will be able to relive the memories through his photos. I highly recommend him for any photography needs.

    The best experience and absolutely stunning photos!

    Jonathan is the most amazing wedding photographer! We were speechless when we got our photos back! They are perfect! He has such a creative eye for the most stunning shots that you can feel the emotion through. He made the entire process from first meeting him, through engagement photos and the wedding so easy and simple! We got our sneak peak photos back within days after the wedding and our whole album back less than two weeks after. We couldn't have been happier that we chose to work with Jonathan and how calm he was while shooting, which made us feel extremely comfortable as well! Would recommend him 100 times over!

    Jonathan photographed our wedding and was a joy to work with!

    We highly recommend Jonathan Gibson photography. Jonathan photographed our wedding and was a joy to work with! The pictures he took were amazing...he didn't miss a moment of our special day. He worked incredibly well with our 2-year old flower girl and kept her smiling for the pictures.

    Choose jonathan!

    My husband and I chose Jonathan as our destination wedding photographer after our local photographer cancelled last minute. It was a stressful situation, but he made the process very simple. He came highly recommended by our friends and we loved the photographs he did for their wedding. Jonathan went above and beyond to be present for our three day celebration. He is so kind and easy to work with. He is very flexible and accomodating. Jonathan is so artistic and incredibly talented. We absolutely LOVE our wedding photos and honestly could not be happier with his work. His ability to capture our wedding celebration in such a unique and special way has been such a blessing. We are so grateful things worked out the way they did so that Jonathan could be our wedding photographer. We will definitely ask for Jonathan to capture our future life events.

    Sensational

    Our experience with Jonathan can be summed in one word: Sensational. If you are even in the slightest bit considering Jonathan Gibson for your wedding experience, do it, you will not regret it.
     
    First of all, Jonathan was extremely professional, cordial, and exciting. We met Jonathan the day before our wedding for a photoshoot and pre-wedding party, however, by the end of the day we did not consider him a vendor that we hired but more of a wedding guest and mentor. He immediately won us over with his innovative poses and designs. He worked with us meticulously to include and improve upon our photography ideas. Additionally, it seemed like he genuinely enjoyed the wedding event, communicating with guests and working with our groomsmen/bridesmaids to get candid and joyous shots of the party.
     
    Wedding photography is an extremely nuanced field that requires extensive experience and education. Jonathan performed all the intangible tasks that make him stand out against any other photographer we have spoke with or seen at other weddings. A simple examples of this is that he carried an aura of energy with him wherever he went. This energy diffused out to all those surrounding him and even helped us loosen up, enjoy the wedding and take phenomenal wedding shots. Our wedding planner even commented that his energy was contagious and motivated everyone else on the wedding team to step up their game. Countless guests also asked for his contact information.
     
    Additionally, Jonathan brought along two excellent assistants, Jess and Shelby, that proved to be just as professional and invested as he was. They worked with us to further add an extra spark to our wedding day.
     
    Lastly, his photographic edits were elegant and flawless. He added his stylish signature that complemented both of our outfits, physical features, and wedding venue. Jonathan knew every angle to hit and capitalized on every moment. When we first looked through our wedding photos we were simply awe-struck, each photo was seemingly better than the last. We could not have dreamed for more beautiful photos and we are so glad that we will be able to relive our big day for the rest of our lives!
     
    In summary, invest in Jonathan Gibson and he will invest more in you.

    Amazing photos!

    Jonathan is the best! He was able to make my husband and I feel so comfortable during our wedding day and engagement photos. He was also very flexible with us when plans changed due to covid. His photos feel so natural and will always be a lovely reminder of our day! I'd recommend him to anyone looking for a photographer!

    Absolutely incredible

    I would recommend Jonathan to absolutely anyone looking for a wedding photographer. He exudes a calming sense of confidence and is incredibly pleasant to work with. He worked diligently from early in the morning until the end of our reception. He brings a second shooter, but he definitely runs the show, while his second shooter is more of an assistant. He has an eye for unique shots from even more unique perspectives. He managed to capture emotions and memories that I didn't know was possible. Even better, he got our portfolio to us in less than a month! I have received compliments from family and friends that they are the best wedding photos they have ever seen, and I have to agree. You will not regret booking Jonathan Gibson.

    Highly recommend!!

    Jonathan was absolutely incredible to work with! From our engagement shoot to our wedding, he was so fun and easy to work with. He dealt with our huge families and wedding party with such ease and had us laughing and having fun the whole time. He was an absolute pleasure to work with, and we would highly recommend him and his team! Thank you again!!

    Best Wedding Decision Ever!

    Choosing Jonathan to be our wedding photographer was the best decision! We have now worked with him three times: our engagement session, family photos, and our June 2020 wedding day. He is a true professional and so easy to work with. Jonathan was an amazing resource for planning both our original large wedding and an intimate ceremony. When COVID-19 forced us to change our wedding at the last minute, we knew we could still make our day just as special with Jonathan’s help. His flexibility and expertise put us at ease, and it was so comforting to know we would have amazing photos no matter what our day looked like. Jonathan has such a wide range of creative talent and delivered fabulous modern shots as well as beautiful traditional wedding photos. He perfectly captured our style and was a pleasure to spend the day with! We shared our photos with family and friends who were not able to attend our wedding and have never received so many compliments. The only problem is we have way too many favorites shots! We are so happy with all the photos and can’t wait to work with Jonathan again in the future!

    BEST Photographer!

    The absolutely BEST photographer in Cincinnati! Based on our engagement pictures, I knew our wedding pictures were going to be amazing but I was still blown away when I saw them! His style is so different than your average photographer. I’ve had multiple people tell me that our wedding pictures are the best they’ve ever seen. We 100% recommend Jonathan Gibson to anyone who is looking for a wedding photographer!

    Incredible to work with, even more incredible photos!

    Jonathan was absolutely amazing to work with and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for the best of the best in Cincinnati. He is ridiculously talented, detailed, and diligent, which all are clearly reflected in the incredible photos he delivers! He stayed with us the whole day, made everyone feel at ease, and was out there with us in the pouring rain getting insanely beautiful photos. We chose to add on the photo booth and it was definitely worth it! He has a stash of props but we brought some as well and I just can't stop laughing at some of them. He truly captured all of the fun and love in the air during both our engagement session and wedding day, and for that, we are forever grateful.

    Beautiful editorial, artistic photographs captured with thought and empathy

    Jonathan was a joy to work with! He has a very calming energy and an empathetic approach to photography. Prior to our wedding Jonathan was organized, communicative, and professional. He worked closely with us to make a list of the photographs we wanted and was receptive to our ideas and respectful of our preferences. The day of the wedding he and his second shooter were punctual and friendly and very patient with us as we worked to corral our large bridal party and families. Again, Jonathan listened to what we wanted and was able to read social situations to know when to move on to the next shot. He was also fabulous with our nieces and nephew when they were scared to have their photos taken. Finally, the photos are GORGEOUS. Not only are my husband and I in love with them, but our friends and family are too. I can't count on both hands the number of compliments we received on the quality and artistry of his work. My favorite things is that Jonathan managed to capture details and small moments that my husband and I missed that, when combined with all other images, work in harmony to tell the story of our day. I cannot recommend Jonathan enough!

    Jonathan Gibson Photography is fabulous!

    Jonathan is incredible to work with! His ability to capture all organic beauty in everyday life is such a talent. My fiance and I recently completed our engagement session with him and are looking forward to our wedding photography! Jonathan is able to bring personality to the forefront, capture life in the background, and create such a magical mood through his photography. We are in love and would recommend him time and time again!

    Better than we could have ever imagined

    Words can not truly describe how much my husband and I love our wedding photos. Jonathan was incredibly patient with us and our chaotic families and changes in photo location due to rain, and his calming presence made us feel like everything was going to be okay. Our entire bridal party appreciated the direction and guidance he provided to make us all look our very best. He captured our vision and our personalities perfectly and has given us the best reminder of how incredible our wedding day was.

His vision and artistic talent created amazing photographs for both our engagement and wedding pictures. He not only captured the meaningful details and special moments, but also the emotions we felt on our wedding day. Jonathan is very easy to work with and we felt completely relaxed when taking photographs during the engagement session and wedding day. Choosing the best photographer for our wedding was very important to us. These are photos that we will cherish forever. Thank you Jonathan!

    To say that Jonathan is just another wedding photographer is more than an understatement. If there are two things that I am certain of, it is the person that I married and the photographer that I hired. From the moment I met Jonathan, he did everything right to make me feel comfortable and relaxed. To accommodate my hectic schedule, he was willing to have FaceTime meetings at all hours of the day. It was clear to me that Jonathan was more than a photographer he was a calming presence during a whirlwind of a year. When we met him during our engagement session this couldn’t have been more true. Jonathan walked away with a smile that night even after we accidentally showered him with a bottle of champagne during one attempted photo. Somehow, he had the impeccable ability to flawlessly wrangle and manage our 20 person bridal party for our pre-wedding photos. The photos that we received from him were jaw dropping. Our hardest job following our wedding was narrowing down photos for our wedding album- we wanted to include every single one. I promise, hiring Jonathan Gibson will be one of the best decisions you make for your wedding day.

    (If I could give him more than 5 stars I would!)

    Jonathan was incredibly professional the entire day. He kept us on schedule, was very patient, and knew exactly how to pose us. When we weren't posing, he sneakily captured the best, unique candid shots. Looking through our photos, it's clear he sees the world differently than the rest of us--he finds the beauty in the smallest of details, and makes the ordinary look extraordinary. He captured so much emotion, so much Cincinnati, and so much of who me and my husband are. Oh, and two of our groomsmen were quite happy to have the wine stains on their shirts edited out expertly. :)

    Jonathan was simply amazing. He was always quick to respond to any communication, and always very attentive to our vision in the meetings leading up to our wedding. On the wedding day, he was so professional and patient with our large wedding party, and made everyone feel relaxed throughout a long day. Many of our guests commented on how he seemed to be "everywhere" throughout the day, which was definitely represented in the quantity of photos we received. The end result of the photos are absolutely gorgeous, and the candids really capture all of the special moments we hope to remember forever. Jonathan came highly recommended to us, and we could not have been more impressed with our entire experience with him.

    Jonathan was a complete pleasure to work with, and he managed to capture so many small, beautiful moments for us in a completely natural way. Our family and friends specifically commented about how he seemed to be everywhere throughout the entire reception, and the photos he took for us (indoor and outdoor) are completely beautiful. He worked so patiently with our (very) large wedding party of 20 people and we couldn't be happier with the results.

    Hands down the most beautiful wedding photos I could ever ask for, and Jonathan is incredibly professional, and easy to work with. I can't begin to explain how highly I recommend Jonathan.

    His work is the best mix of artistic and also glamorous, flattering wedding photos. It's the perfect balance to make your wedding photos not the same as every other wedding photo you see.

    We worked with Jonathan for over a year, he did our engagement photos - which turned out gorgeous - and he was with us on our wedding day all day long. Besides his body of work, one of the reasons I chose Jonathan was that he had no time limit on his wedding day service. A lot of photographers do, and it made all the difference that he was able to be with us from getting ready all the way through the end of the night. When we received his photos back, we got to relive the entire day through his work.

    He's a great guy, and so easy to work with. We had a huge wedding party and he kept things moving, so no one was frustrated with how long photos were taking. Huge thanks to Jonathan for capturing our day perfectly. We will cherish our photos forever.

    I highly recommend Jonathan, you can't ask for a better photographer.

    Jonathan Gibson went above and beyond the call of duty to capture the special moments during our wedding day. He is meticulous, creative, and professional. We could count on Jonathan to organize our photo sessions. Yet, he did more than merely coordinate photos; he is a true artist. We turned one of our engagement photos into a canvas print, and it looks like it belongs in a gallery! In addition to his expertise, he is a pleasure to work with and made the wedding party and guests feel at ease.
    Your wedding is an important day in your life. Yet sadly, it is only one day. We are so glad we had a photographer we could trust to create keepsakes that will last for our lifetimes.
    We <3 Jonathan Gibson Photography!
