    Highly recommend

    THE BEST! I can’t even begin to explain how lucky we are to have Jonathan capture this special day. We were blown away by his kindness, easygoing attitude, professionalism, creativity, effort, and hard work. These are the best photos my husband and I have ever seen. He was so patient with us. Amazing with kids too. Words can’t describe how amazing this photographer is. 12/10 recommend. He made our wedding so special, we are blessed he was a part of it. He even showed us a preview at dinner! Everyone at our wedding spoke so highly of him and his team. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts Jonathan!

    Exceptional Photography Experience

    I would give Jonathan 1000/10 if I could in terms of service and photo quality. He made an effort to ensure we got all of our desired pictures, while making them fun. He made the whole family and bridal party feel important in the picture taking process. He also has a unique eye that will leave us with original photos we will cherish for a lifetime. I cannot recommend Jonathan more!

    Unforgettable

    Jonathan is extremely talented and works well with grooms who “hate taking pictures”. He made my groom feel extra calm and made it super fun for us starting from our engagement shoot all the way to our wedding almost a year later. He easily became our family photographer for the future. I can’t wait for all the memories he will capture in the coming years.

    Beyond expectations

    Jonathan was amazing to work with start to finish. Extremely responsive and personable from the first interaction to the last. We were able to share our ideas before and during the wedding. Jonathan was incredibly accommodating and went above and beyond to ensure we captured every possible moment.

    Huberty beach wedding

    Jonathan did a wonderful job at our beach wedding! Jonathan and his assistant worked tirelessly to capture every moment of our day! They even had pictures ready and edited by the reception. They were very attentive to what kind of pictures we wanted and made it happen. They came out better than I could have imagined and now we have so many pictures to choose from! We even got to get a lot of the pictures done before the ceremony so that we didn’t take up a lot of reception time. I highly recommend his photography!

    MVP of the wedding

    Where do I even begin about Jonathan. He was so kind, patient with our requests and really captured us as our most authentic selves allowing us to live in the moment and enjoy our day. He even previewed some photos with us the night of our wedding and they were absolutely gorgeous. He was the true MVP of the day working quickly to let us get beautiful photos while also giving us so much free time with our guests. This man is worth every penny and made our day so special.

    Jonathan was an incredible photographer for our special day! He made us feel comfortable right off the bat with his warm and inviting personality. His eye for detail in his photography is amazing and our wedding pictures came out even better than we could have imagined. I would highly recommend Jonathan to photograph anyone's wedding!

    Hands down the best photographer ever.

    My wife and I have done our fair share of photoshoots for various things over the years and none have really come close to Jonathan Hare.

    The mindblowing techniques he used to get angles and effects he used to get the most beautiful angles, and illusions in each photo were bar none.

    If you are having a hard time deciding if his services are worth the price. For us the answer is absolutely yes. I’m a bit of cheap person and yet there is still no way I would ever have been as happy with any other photographers work- based on my experiences.

    The photos below are just a few of many he took that we are in love with. There really werent any shots we didn’t love. The guy knows his stuff.

    The best experience

    Jonathan is simply the best. He makes you feel comfortable in front of the camera and knows which shots to get. We didn’t have to worry at all knowing Jonathan was in charge of capturing our big day, and the photos are incredible. Easier and more fun than we thought possible.

    Amazing Photographer

    I could not have asked for a better photographer to capture our special day. Jonathan was great to work with. You can tell that he truly loves what he does. He was extremely polite, easy to work with and upbeat. We were a little bummed that it rained during our ceremony, but he didn't let it ruin our day. Our pictures turned out better than we could have imagined. I would recommend Jonathan to anyone, whether you are doing a destination wedding or not.

    The Best Photographer You'll Ever Find!

    Words cannot describe how amazing Jonathan is. You will not find a better photographer in Florida, and arguably anywhere else for that matter. His talent and eye for catching incredible moments is incredible. He put us at ease, which can be difficult on a wedding day because all eyes are on you. He also coordinated with our wedding planner and videographer on an appropriate timeline for the day to make sure that all of the special moments we wanted were captured. Jonathan even put together an initial slideshow for my husband and I to watch during dinner at our reception so that we could get a sneak peek of all the magical photos he had taken - Because he’s literally just that awesome. Jonathan also did our engagement photos as a part of our wedding package. We all traveled to Saint Augustine and took amazing photos around the fort and in the lighthouse. They’re simply stunning. And honestly, we just vibed so well with him from the start. It felt more like we were working with a good friend than anything else. What’s more - Jonathan’s talent was so apparent that all of my wedding guests who are having weddings in the coming years are also planning to hire him! He’s simply the best.

    Thank you jonathan!

    Jonathan was INCREDIBLE! I realized in all of this that the most important thing about your wedding photographer is their personality and truly the vibe they emanate that will influence you, your wedding party, and your wedding guests, to be free and happy in front of the lens. The photos Jonathan took were amazing, but a lot of wedding photographers take amazing photos. Jonathan truly loves his job and is so natural in bringing the best out of people he’s around. It’s a remarkable quality he has that is perfect for the important role he plays in your big day. On top of all that, he’s so creative and has such an amazing eye to capture unique moments you’ll remember forever through his photos. We absolutely LOVE the photos he took.

    His commitment to his clients is another thing that is just mind blowing. Our wedding was in Boston in February. With a foot of snow falling on Friday, cancelled flights and chaos ensued from Thursday evening to Saturday morning. Jonathan scrambled so hard, I believe had 6 flights booked and cancelled on Thursday evening until he finally got on one to Philadelphia late on Thursday night. He then drove FIVE HOURS in the middle of the night with a snowstorm brewing from Philly to Boston arriving at 3 AM. We had guests that couldn’t make it, but he made sure he was there no matter what.

    If I could give a million stars for this review I would, by the time our wedding weekend was over, Jonathan felt like family to us. He was so impressive and it was so evident how good he was at his job that even wedding guests were getting his info to hire for other weddings/events, and many couples commented on how they wish they had someone like him at their wedding. If that’s not a testament to how ELITE this man is… Just have a meeting with him, and you’ll see what I’m talking about. THANK YOU JONATHAN!!!!

    Jonathan Hare is simply THE BEST!

    Jonathan Hare was one of the best parts of our wedding day based on his personality alone. Not to mention his incredible eye for art and his creative vision. He captured moments that I wasn’t even aware were happening. If you’re looking for someone who is going to give you the most beautiful cherished memories you will look back on for generations to come…look no further than Jonathan Hare Photography. I wish that every bride and groom could experience Jonathan and all that he is, I’m thankful and forever grateful that we did.

    Jonathan is THAT dude!!!

    Amazing photographer, amazing experience, amazing photos!

    I hired Jon to photograph my sister's wedding as a wedding a present. He was absolutely wonderful! Here's the rundown:

    1. Booking -
    Jon had an extensive portfolio via Facebook, so selecting him based on style and passed work was easy. After contacting him he was incredibly responsive, friendly, and easy to do business with. I signed a contract within hours and paid a deposit via Venmo. Easy peasy.

    2. Planning
    A few months out before the wedding, Jon worked closely with my sister to understand exactly what she wanted (videos, photography, pre-wedding, ceremony-only, etc.). He was flexible and understanding, and was quite knowledgeable.

    3. Wedding Day
    Jon arrived early to scope out the wedding venue. He also took some really great pictures of the venue before photographing the bride, groom, and wedding party getting ready. He was incredibly friendly, fun, and really put my sister at ease. During the wedding, he took hundreds of really awesome pics. I particularly loved that he had the perfect balance between candid shots and posed shots. Seriously....awesome awesome photographer.

    4. Wedding day +1 - My sister texted (absolutely giddy) with a handful of preview photos from Jon. I cannot stress this enough....they were truly AMAZING. Jon has a very artistic eye and some great tricks up his sleeve to really make magic happen.

    In short, I would work with Jon again a million times over!

    Catching Love in a Photograph

    Many couples are nervous about getting their photograph taken, especially in the engagement shoot. Jonathan takes away all fear in the first five minutes of getting to know you. He is extremely personable; like you have know him for a long time. He creates and develops amazing photos playing with lights, angles, and whatever is around. For our wedding, he arrived on time. He acted professional, but it was like he was part of the family, too. He is extremely talented at what he does. If you want to have photos that capture all the love and happiness you feel on your big day (like I have now), I would choose Jonathan in a heartbeat.

    Looking for the best? Look no further!

    What a gift... Jonathon captured exceptional memories of our magical day! The memories he captured are perfect, using his creative touch we have unique photos to look back on for years to come. He is genuine, supportive, and has a great eye for detail. This is very important... on a fast paced day like a wedding choosing your team is extremely important and each vendor needs to add so much more than their individual talent to execute a flawless day. Jonathon not only stepped up with his talent but was also a fundamental part of our wedding day team, he brought a sense of calm joy that helped keep the day running smoothly... this is priceless!!
