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!

If you are trying to find a photographer who truly cares about capturing the love between you and your partner while making you feel super comfortable, hire Pete! Pete was an absolute dream to work with, especially given my numerous outlandish requests! We were Pete’s first official San Diego couple, so Pete flew out to San Diego just to do our engagement shoot at La Jolla Windansea Beach and Balboa Park. Now that is commitment. My husband is not the most comfortable guy in front of a camera (he is also a whole foot taller than me) and Pete did a really great job at making him feelat ease and posing us just right as to not make me look ridiculously short. On our actual wedding day Pete was dependable and helpful. We had a unique wedding with a traditional Vietnamese Tea Ceremony held at my parents’ house the morning of our wedding day and then the more traditional American ceremony and reception at our other location (the sub naval base in Point Loma). So we technically had Pete from 9AM to 10PM on our wedding day, a very exhausting but beautiful and fun day for all. Our wedding day went by so so so quickly. You really don't have time to worry about your photographer and the photos being taken. Pete has a great way of taking charge and leading when you need him to be (family portraits for a big Asian family that loves to take pictures… haha). He has so much experience with weddings and has this thing down to a science! One of the best wedding decisions we made, and there are quite a lot of decisions to be made. You truly won't regret it! We absolutely cherish all of the photos that he took on our wedding day. He even made some edits after the fact upon request with no hesitation. My husband and I are so excited to have these to look back on for the rest of our lives! I have had several friends tell me that these are the best wedding photos they have ever seen.

There are so many decisions to make when planning a wedding. Hiring Pete Nagy of Peter Jonathon Images was our smartest decision of them all.

Pete and Julie worked diligently from the beginning with the "getting ready" photos, and then through the ceremony and into the night of our wedding. We could see by his eye movements, as he was surveying the beautiful landscape of golf course, that Pete was picturing multiple images of us in his mind and we would not be dissappointed in the results he would produce for our special day.

First, Pete scopes out the landscape, angles, and timing of the sunlight. Then he gets into a zone and it was non-stop picture shooting of us, together. Initially, it felt like a lot of work for us because he kept us moving, capturing us at various angles of the sunlight, but the results were well worth the efforts.

If you wish to cherish wedding or private event forever, you will not be disappointed with the brilliant photo results from Pete Nagy of Peter Jonathon Images.

Thank you, Pete & Julie, for capturing a lifetime of memories from your spectacular photos.

Pete & Cassidy T.

We are so glad we found Pete to photograph our special day! I can't say enough about his professionalism and talent. We got married at an outdoor venue, right on the coast. I was looking for someone who could capture natural beauty and use natural lighting without over-editing. Pete did this fabulously, both for our engagement shoot and for our wedding day. He was also very responsive and flexible, giving us quality time and options to make our day perfect. Do yourself a favor and hire this guy!

Pete was absolutely amazing; I literally screamed from our beach chair in St. Lucia when I saw the teaser photos come across my email. We are beyond thrilled with our photos, both our engagement shoot and wedding! Pete was professional, smart and creative - as well as timely - he got us in and out in time for a few extra cocktails with our guests. We are literally OVER THE MOON excited to put together our gorgeous book of photos to remember such a special and loving day. If you are in IN or CA ... PLEASE contact Pete for all of your photography needs - - and I bet, even if you aren't in those states, you might be lucky enough to secure his services. Thank you a million times over, Pete. We couldn't have asked for a better photographer to capture our relationship over the past few months - - how about a 1 year anniversary shoot? :)

Pete is AMAZING! We were so pleased with his professionalism and ability to direct during our wedding. Our wedding was a blast, and Pete played a large role in making it that way! He even took the time to turn on a playlist in the bridal suite to set the atmosphere and changed the music to fit each moment. He goes above and beyond to make your wedding photos everything you've ever dreamed of. Thank you so much for capturing our special day in the most beautiful way possible.

Pete is AMAZING.

I had a specific budget, but wanted to make sure I really clicked with my photographer. Pete was that person for me.

From before the wedding (a year out, when I booked him) Pete answered ALL of my questions quickly and with ease. He Skyped us to allow us to get to know him (and his cats) better. He was so accommodating and created the perfect package for us.

Pete did our engagement photos first, and I can't tell you how many compliments we received. The most common was that they truly captured our personalities - and that's what we really wanted.

Day of the wedding, Pete and his second photog (Rachel) were on time and on their game. Pete does some unique touches as well, which I appreciate because I am NOT creative. Pete is also a great looking guy, so that was appreciated by my bridesmaids :)

Throughout the evening, Pete was everywhere I needed him to be. I never had to tell him what to do - he already knows. He had preview pictures up a few days after the wedding, and final pictures up within a week!!!! I NEVER expected that! And let me tell you - they're perfect. I wanted to hug him after I saw the first 50 alone. And my wedding was in Bloomington, IN - and he had no trouble traveling there.

Pete is wonderful. Really. Book him.

My husband and I have no words to describe how perfectly Pete captured the joy of our wedding day. From the quiet moments with our parents and wedding party before the ceremony, to our vows, to the craziness of our reception, each photograph is beautiful and moving. We simply could not have asked for better photos!

In addition to Pete's incredible work, we were thrilled with his service. He is responsive, accommodating, creative, and has an amazingly fast turnaround - we received our wedding photos two weeks after our wedding! Needless to say, we have enjoyed re-visiting our wedding celebration via the photos many times since.

We give Pete our highest recommendation!

Peter stepped in as the photographer for our wedding day with short notice. From the beginning he was very accommodating, provided frequent communication, and made sure he knew who my husband and I were as a couple. I can't express how much we LOVED working with him. He handled our huge bridal party (20 people) and gave great direction to make the big day go very smoothly. He captured both our planned shots and spontaneously moments. The results were absolutely beautiful and we continue to get rave reviews from our friends and families on the pictures we have shared. I highly recommended working with this very talented photographer!! Thanks again :)

We highly recommend Peter Jonathan Images! Pete was professional, easy to work with, hard working, flexible, and reliable. At the beginning, Pete took time to talk to us and answer all of our questions and explain the whole process. Pete was easy to communicate with and always responded to emails, texts, and phone calls quickly. He came to downtown Chicago to do our engagement pictures and right away he made us feel comfortable in front of the camera. He was open to trekking around the city to get shots we wanted and even drove us. Watching him be in his element and take his job seriously, we were confident we picked the best of the best.
Our wedding was in downtown Indy. He was our point person for the timing of our wedding day and keeping us on track throughout our day and he didn't skip a beat. Everything was timed perfectly and our wedding day ran so smoothly because of him. He also checked in with us to make sure we were doing ok and was cognizant of giving us some down time after pictures/ before the ceremony.
Most importantly, Pete's photography skills are top notch and our images are absolutely beautiful. He captured our day perfectly. His turn around time for sneak peak images and getting all of our images to us was quick. We will be booking Peter Jonathan Images again the next time we need professional pictures taken. Thank you Pete, we are so lucky we found you!

Pete was amazing to work with! We knew right after we met him that he was the guy we wanted to capture our wedding. His prices are super competitive and he definitely exceeded our expectations. The pictures are amazing and it was awesome reliving the day looking through all the photos. Through all the chaos of trying to get everyone rounded up to take photos Pete was always calm and that made it easier on us. His second photographer was a huge help in getting everyone together. They were able to capture every special moment of that day without being in the way. He even took some time during the reception to do a photo shoot of us which came out amazing. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND him to anyone looking for a photographer. Thanks Pete!

I work in the wedding business as a planner and coordinator and from the first second I met Pete I was instantly mesmerized by his work. Pete was a photographer for one of the weddings I was coordinating and I was so impressed with his work and had so much fun with him that I cancelled my original photographer two weeks before my wedding day hired Pete. Without a doubt best decision ever, amazing work, great original ideas, fun times and I felt comfortable the entire day! Pete doesn't miss a beat!

Our experience with Pete was exceptional. We had the honor of doing both our engagement and wedding day photo shoots with Peter Jonathan Images. He was extremely professional, accommodating, unique in his photo pose and background decisions, reliable and perfect at capturing intimate and those talked about "Kodak" moments. We highly recommend Pete Nagy and are confident you will NOT be disappointed!!!!

Pete is freaking awesome!!! I always feel and look really awkward when I get pictures taken and I was so worried that my wedding day was going to be the same but Pete made everything so fun and natural for me. His photos are absolutely beautiful! And he gave us more photos than I could have ever imagined, I'm not sure how I'll manage to pick the ones I want to print. Not only are there tons of pictures from our big day, but he also got them edited and back to us so fast! How he does that with so many pictures, I'll never be able to figure out.

Pete is a fun, professional, super personable guy who your entire wedding party will love. I highly recommend him for any occasion!

I have referred Pete to all of my friends who are getting married! From our first meeting, Pete was so organized and professional. He answered all of our questions and my husband and I felt reassured we were picking the right photographer. We were even more excited after we did our engagement shoot and saw how amazing the pics turned out. On a completely rainy wedding day, Pete was on top of his weather app making sure we had time to take beautiful outdoor pictures. He also set up a photo booth at my wedding that was a hit! It was nice not having to go through yet another vendor to have a photo booth. My husband and I are so happy with our pictures and everyone book him, you won't regret it!

Pete is AMAZING! We did our engagement photos as well as our wedding photos with him and couldn't be happier! Our engagement pictures were all so good we had a terrible time picking out which ones to print and hang in our home! Pete also recommended the DJ & videographer we used and he did not lead me astray! He is SO fun and friendly while also being uber professional. He is so creative and takes all things into consideration when choosing shots and poses. He told me when I had hair out of place and made sure to fix my dress when it was needed. It was about 98 degrees and humid the day of our wedding and Pete was so fantastic knowing that I really wanted outside pictures. We were all sweating through our clothes and he didn't try to rush things or talk me out of getting outside pictures- he put us in great poses with some awesome backgrounds! I cannot wait to see all of the different pictures he got of the wedding! He also was very helpful with the timeline of the day and deciding when certain things should be done, etc. He was also EXTREMELY efficient in getting through all of the formal family portraits! He had me create a list of who would be in what shots and then he had his very talented 2nd shooter, Chelsea, call out names and get people going. We got through photos with 70+ people in such great time that we all had extra time to relax and cool down before the ceremony started. Some friends from high school used Pete at their wedding and highly recommended him and I could seriously not be happier that we went with Pete! Photography is truly his passion and it shows in all that he does.

He made our wedding day stress free and not to mention we had a blast as he was taking pictures. His work is top notch and his style is exactly what we wanted with our pictures. He can recreate pictures that you give him and make them even more artistic! We absolutely love his work and would highly recommend him to anyone! Thanks, Pete!

Pete is extremely professional and talented. He not only took our wedding pictures but now he has done our family pictures and son's first birthday pictures. He is very easy going and laid back, but when we needed direction he was able to give it to us. He is also open for suggestions if you have particular shots you want. His is EXTREMELY reasonably priced for the quality of his work. We will never use another photographer for anything. And our wedding pictures were amazing!! I can not say enough great things about this guy.

If you're looking for someone that makes you feel very comfortable and is easy going, Pete is your guy! We wanted someone that understood what kind of photos we were looking for for our engagement session and the wedding day and he did such an amazing job; they were perfect. He also has someone else there on the wedding day so we were able to get so many more pictures! You also get a lot for the money. Weddings can be so expensive, so it was nice to find someone that was "reasonable" and provided so much (an amazing coffee table book comes in the package and it's awesome!) We highly recommend Pete!

On a stressful day like that having someone who is relaxed, gets the job done and takes amazing pictures is so important! I am a very picky person with photos and there is not one picture I have anything even slightly bad about. We have the most beautiful images to cherish for the rest of our lives!!

I had been admiring Pete's work for a couple of years before I knew who he was! My neighbor had the most fantastic family photos on her Christmas cards. When it came time to find my wedding photographer, I needed to know who she was using! That's how I found Peter Jonathan Images. Pete was fantastic to work with. He accommodated my very quick wedding plans! We did 3 separate shoots in a 2 week window! Engagement, a crazy family shoot with over 20 people running around and my very non traditional wedding. My beautiful outdoor wedding turned into an indoor wedding when it decided to storm all day and most of the night. Pete didn't miss a beat ! He helped make my day extremely memorable for me and our guests! He took advantage of every opportunity between raindrops to catch a few shots outside and even a group shot of us with all 125 of our guests!

All of my photos are beautiful. I've got a tough job trying to decide which ones to have printed! They're all so good!! The turnaround time was within a week of the shoots, which was excellent.

I can't say enough about all 3 of my encounters with Pete! He's professional, fun, he knows how to bring out your best look, he's exceptional at his craft!

Thanks Pete & Julie! I can't wait to work with you again!

I don't even know where to begin when it comes to Pete because words do not provide enough justice for his photography. My wife and I had a winter wedding which can make things difficult for pictures. During our initial meeting with Pete, he discussed with us the timeline of the day, any ideas we had for pictures, and gave his input on what he thought. He was thorough but it never felt like an interview or uncomfortable. He was like talking to a friend. So during our conversation he mentioned an area of Indianapolis that had a neighborhood with pine trees galore (where are there tall pines trees in Indiana? lol) that he thinks would make for some great winter shoot. Come wedding day and Pete was a true professional in every sense of the word. Beyond that though he was just a blast to work with. He was friendly, attentive, upbeat (even after his camera accidentally fell; he never flinched), and just a great personality all day. His instructions were clear and nothing was overly scripted. Oh . . . and the Pine Trees shoot turned out to be the most AMAZING photos of all! His work for our wedding rivaled that seen in magazines! He captured moments perfectly. There could never be enough words to describe how much I would recommend his work. We will use him for all of our major life shoots going forward I am convinced. Just stop looking now and book Pete for your shoots. You won't regret a dime you pay for him. Thanks again Pete for an amazing day!

Oh my! If you are looking for the BEST photographer in Indiana look no further. Pete did our engagement photo session and later our wedding. His talent is unmatched! He is that photographer that you don't know he is even there. He is sly, talented, and captures the most treasured moments in the quietest way possible. He is a pure artist.

Our time with Pete for our engagement shoot and our wedding was incredible. From the moment we met with Pete we knew he was the right photographer for our day. Pete gave great direction when needed. He provided us with amazing pictures capturing real emotion. We received many comments from our guests of how impressed they were with him and his assistant Ashley. Pete is professional and responsive. Most importantly, his love and passion for his work shows in his photos.

Pete is seriously amazing. He did our engagement and wedding photos and although we haven't seen all of the wedding photos yet (wedding was a few days ago) I am already in love with all of the pictures. He gave us a sneak preview right after the wedding which was awesome! We aren't the most photogenic couple but he was able to capture such beautiful shots. My entire family is in awe over the photos. He's so much fun to work with and I love his creativity. Worth every penny and more. Highly highly highly recommended.

Pete is an absolute brilliant photographer! Our wedding photos just blew us away; exceeded all expectations. He has an unbelievable skill and talent with his eye and creativity. And he's so much fun to work with. I would, hands down, recommend him to any bride and groom looking for a super talented photographer that's easy to work with.

THERE IS TOO MUCH TO SAY ABOUT PETE! I could not be happier with my wedding pictures! He is laid back and so easy to work with. Peter was professional, prompt and knowledgeable the day of the wedding. He captured EVERY SHOT we could have ever imagined! Pete knows where to capture the best shots--we totally let him take the lead on where we should take photos and how we should take them. I am absolutely in love with my wedding photos! Pete was so quick to get them back to me. The day they were released was the least productive day at work for everyone who attended my wedding because they were looking at the amazing pictures :) Pete was recommended to us by a friend and we love him--we will recommend him to anyone! We were bummed to hear that he was already booked for my brother's wedding next year but I suppose that's what happens when you're a fabulous photographer like Pete! Book him early or you'll lose your chance to have amazing wedding pictures for the rest of your life!

He and his assistant did a wonderful job on our wedding - capturing all of the great moments and scenery. We would definitely recommend Peter Jonathan Images to anyone!

Pete was absolutely amazing...from the beginning to the end. From our engagement photos to receiving our coffee table album after our wedding, everything was great. Pete was always available to chat, answer questions or just reassure. My husband and I love Pete's shooting style and the quality of his photos, and were not disappointed with our results. Our photos turned out beyond our wildest dreams! We were so surprised with how "incognito" Pete & his assistant were during our big day. We never knew they were even in the room, which allowed Pete to capture some of the most wonderful images! His personality, shooting style, quality, price, flexibility, availability and promptness made our experience with Peter Jonathan Images an excellent one. We would recommend Peter Jonathan any day!! Thank you Pete!

Everything about our wedding day came together perfectly. We couldn't have had such a well planned day without Peter! He was incredible in orchestrating the timing of all of the pictures and events. His assistant and himself had great picture ideas and were patient during the whole family picture process, always making sure that we had the pictures we wanted. The quality of the engagement and wedding pictures have been commented on by many people and I can't thank him enough for providing us with a lifetime of memories! We are so thankful that we found Peter for our photographer and would recommend him to anyone in a heartbeat! Thanks again!!

Can not say enough great things about Pete! His photographs speak for themselves, but he is an amazing photographer. I researched photographers for a while and had to do it all online as I was planning my wedding from out of state. I found Pete on weddingwire and fell in love with his photographs. His prices are very reasonable for the quality of photo's he takes especially compared to other photographers who charge outrageous prices and don't know how to use a camera. He was flexible working with us, especially since we were out of town having to arrange things. He listened to a couple ideas I had and was very easy going and fun to work with. His turnaround time for getting our photos back was super fast, and the pictures look amazing. I recommend him for anyone looking for a great quality photographer. It was the best day but having great photos to look back on make it even more memorable. Thanks Pete!!

Pete was wonderful. He's easygoing, easy to contact, and always available to answer any questions I had both during the planning process and the day of the wedding. We love our photos, and I could not have asked for more prompt service. We got married March 1, and had all of our photos uploaded and on disc in less than two weeks! Pete's work speaks for itself, and he does such a great job capturing the little moments; I've already spent many hours looking at our photos over and over, and each time reveals an additional surprise (and smile!). I would recommend Peter Jonathan Images to anyone and everyone. You won't be disappointed!

Your wedding day is one the most amazing days of your life, however it is also one of the fastest days of your life. There is so much going on as well as being a ball of nervous energy that it is hard to take it all in. With that said when I got my pictures back it was like I relived that day all over again. Peter Jonathan Images captured every moment that flew by. I cant express how happy I am with my pictures. Pete is great to work with. He was patient with the bridal party and family. His pictures of our rings, my dress and shoes are amazing and so creative. I would recommend Peter Jonathan Images!!

In a word--AMAZING! Pete was such an amazing professional to work with during our entire engagement and wedding-planning process. Of all of our wedding vendors, Pete was, by far, the easiest to get in contact with--he always responded right away, which really solidified our confidence in him. He came highly recommended to us by three of my coworkers (whose weddings he had photographed), and we couldn't be more pleased with his work! We absolutely LOVE our engagement pictures and wedding pictures...we will cherish them forever! Pete was able to photograph our dog and my five young nephews/niece, which was an accomplishment in skill and patience that he did with extreme ease. He captured my husband's and my relationship, our personalities, and our wedding style perfectly! Pete is professional, punctual, flexible, personable, and reliable! He has such a unique style that combines color, black & white, photojournalism, candid, spontaneous, and posed...he utilizes the best combination of all photography styles. We highly recommend Pete to anyone looking for a professional, personable, and reliable photographer!

Pete did such an amazing job on our wedding photos! He truly captured the beauty of the entire day. In reviewing the pictures, we saw so many moments throughout the wedding and reception that we would have never seen but for Pete's perfect eye! We had a relatively small wedding and still ended up with over 800 photos!! Every photo was beautiful and intimate - nothing stuffy, staged or forced. The emotion of the day is seen and felt in every photo and we are so thankful to Pete for giving us such amazing photos to remember the special day!!

Pete was a great photographer to work with and so was his assistant. I have only seen a few sneak peek photos of our wedding day but already I'm so excited and know I will not be disappointed! Pete took the time to get the shots that he knew we would want and also listened to different ideas that we might like. He also took the time to go to a special place with me on the day of the wedding to get some great shots! Thanks Pete we can't wait to see the final product!!

Pete was an absolute pleasure to work with! From the first meeting with him, we knew we wanted to work with him on our special day. He is so personable and helpful and made us feel so comfortable. I think it's very important for your photographer to have that personality that helps you and your guests relax and feel comfortable in front of the camera. All of our family and friends loved working with Pete as well, which was a huge plus! We booked his Platinum package and it was sooooo worth the money!! Our engagement pictures were gorgeous and they made us so excited to see our wedding pictures. Pete was very responsive and always available to answer questions or meet to discuss the timeline, etc. I felt like he truly cared about our wedding and wanted to make sure he captured all the special memories and moments for us. We just got our wedding pictures back and I couldn't be happier. He has a way of truly capturing our relationship. All the pictures felt so real and honest. The candids were great, and so many of the shots were extremely creative! We loved the posed, formal pictures, but also loved that he showed his artistic ability and created very unique images for us. I would recommend Pete to anyone looking for an amazing photographer!

Pete is absolutely fantastic! Not only is he an incredibly talented photographer who really loves what he does, but he is a fun person to be around and work with. Taking pictures with Pete is easy and stress free. He works quickly and gets shots you never could imagine! If all of that weren't enough, he gives you a disk with all of your fantastically edited photographs back a week after your wedding (more or less). This is unheard of service! We have asked Pete to photograph not only our engagement and wedding but family photos since. We will continue using Pete as our photographer for everything! (Oh, and he had a wedding kit with all sorts of emergency items I'd never thought I'd need, including eyelash glue! He saved me from looking super-ridiculous during our reception!)

When it came time to pick a photographer for our wedding, it was a very easy choice! He did a great job on engagement photos for us and our wedding day pictures were amazing! He and his assistant spent the entire day with us and captured every moment. I would definitely recommend Peter Jonathan Images!

Pete did such AMAZING work during our wedding week. He took a new element of the snow, mountains and everything in between and just really captured every special moment in fantastic ways. These memories last a lifetime thanks to the wonderful job done! I appreciated the professionalism in which he worked and the flexibility that he had. I would recommend him to anyone a thousand times over. Though, I truly believe his work speaks for itself and I don't have to say anything, but just show off his work and watch people ask for his contact info. :)

Pete was more than we could have ever asked for in a photographer. He was so creative with his shots and got everything we wanted. When the wedding was over we had over 1400 pictures- talk about fun to look through! He brought a good friend of his as his assistant photographer, and they were a great duo. They didn't miss a beat. Pete blended right in and captured every moment without us even knowing he was there most of the time. I would happily recommend Pete's services to anyone!

I came across Pete while researching photographers.I contacted him and we set a time to meet. Immediately I knew this was who I wanted to photograph my wedding. He put me at ease and it was clear he knew what he was doing.
I was even more excited he offered a package that included engagement pictures. We did that session with Pete and receive out pictures back and they were more than I could have imagined. I knew we had made the right choice for the wedding.
On our wedding day Pete did a great job taking control to get pictures organized and taking all the ones we requested. I will be referring all my friends to Pete because he is awesome!

My husband and I chose Pete to be our wedding photographer after a short meeting at Starbuck's. He was able to show us some of the work he had done and we loved his ideas. He was professional and had a great personality! At the time he was very new to the wedding photography business but we could not be more happy with the results. He took his time with us at both the engagement session and during the wedding festivities. He and his assistant were able to follow us each as we got ready for day and then later as we took the first steps of starting our lives together. I would recommend Pete to anyone who is planning their wedding and is looking for someone to capture the special moments of their big day!

My husband and I did a destination wedding on the beaches of Mexico. Pete traveled with us and captured every moment along the way. He was great to work with and paid close attention to capturing every detail. The location and scenery of our wedding was so beautiful that I worried a camera wouldn't do it justice. Pete exceeded my expectations. Our pictures look out of a magazine. I wanted to try a few things I had seen on Pinterest and Pete was more than willing to try my ideas! I couldn't have been more pleased with my pictures and I highly recommend using Peter Jonathan Images!!

Pete was wonderful at taking natural shots. He posed us for a few of the typical bride and groom pictures, but the rest was taken very naturally and made us feel at ease. You can tell in our pictures we were relaxed and happy and that is exactly what I wanted him to capture!

He took a mixture of posed bride and groom shots, to large family photos, to friends dancing on the dance floor. From what we forgot of the night, or were to busy to see, Pete captured on film. Thank you!

My family, friends and I absolutely loved working with Pete! His process is very thorough, with an introductory meeting to discuss inspiration, engagement session to get familiar with being photographed together and final discussion on shot list and aesthetics. With all of the moving parts involved in planning and executing the wedding day, I knew I could count on Pete to provide a sense of peace! He was fantastic in organizing our friends and family for photos, everyone had such wonderful things to say. Most importantly, the photos are everything I imagined!

If you're looking for an awesome photographer at an affordable cost, then Pete is the way to go. When we met first with him, you can tell that he isn't in the business for the money - he just loves taking pictures and he happens to be really, really good at it. I am constantly re-visiting our wedding day photos almost 2 years later and love how he captured the day so perfectly. I can't recommend him enough!

Provided great direction and even drove us to the park where we took our photos! Our pictures are very natural and beautiful. We love all of them. He also knew where to be and when during the ceremony and reception without any direction from us. We were so pleased with his work. We also had a photo shoot for our baby and they were great, too! Pete definitely knew how to work with a wedding party AND a fussy baby! :) he is so friendly, down-to-earth, yet professional! Highly recommended!

Fit right in with our destination wedding gang

Not long after meeting Pete we knew he would be the perfect fit to photograph our Belize wedding. He has an easygoing personality and is down to give anything a shot (like agreeing to shoot our engagement photos at the airport, or smuggling his drone into Belize).
When we started planning our wedding we knew we needed a photographer who would roll with the punches and get along with our group of rambunctious family and friends. Truth be told by the end of the weekend I think everyone liked Pete and his wife better than us ;)

When we didn’t want to do a first look and were in a time crunch racing the sunset after our ceremony , Pete was down to spend a few hours the next day shooting Tate & I around the island and we got some awesome shots that sum up why we love it there and why we wanted to have our wedding there. (Not to mention the drone footage of us jumping into the ocean at the end of the day— priceless!)
He captured some really beautiful moments, and the video and album will ensure we never forget our little island wedding.
Truth be told, Pete wasn’t the cheapest photographer we interviewed... but there is honesty in the statement you get what you pay for, and we feel like we got definite bang for our buck with him

My husband and I hired Pete to shoot our wedding in Brown County State Park last May. From the start, he was incredibly accommodating, willing to talk over the phone, and even meet us in person to discuss details. We were initially interested in Pete, of course, because we loved his style, but it was meeting in person that truly solidified our choice because he was so relaxed, professional, and open-minded. These proved to be wonderful qualities on the day of our wedding as he provided a balance of direction and openness to suggestions, he kept things moving efficiently while keeping everyone relaxed, and most importantly, he made sure that we all had fun! All the while, he was very organized and got all of the shots that we requested. Many of the people in our wedding party commented on how much fun Pete was and how easy he was to work with. My husband and I received our images within two weeks of our wedding, and we were very pleased. He did a wonderful job using the scenery (after all, our wedding was in the woods) with lots of of use of the trees, which we specifically requested. There was a good combination of traditional and unconventional photos, giving us and our family and friends lots of different styles of pictures to chose from. Overall, we were thrilled with Pete's work and would recommend him without a moment of hesitation.

Pete did a good job capturing our wedding day. He managed to capture photos of just about every guest that attended. The pictures came out very nice. His prices are competetive. I would definitely recommend him to someone looking for good quality at a reasonable price.

After extensive research on wedding photographers, it seemed that there was a very clear divide between good photographers (read: EXPENSIVE) and moderately priced photographers who just didn't seem to have the same quality. Then we found Peter who we really felt provided the high quality wedding photos for a very reasonable price. As a bonus, he was always a pleasure to talk to. We even did our engagement pictures about an hour away, and Peter didn't charge us any extra to make the drive, which we really appreciated since most all other photographers said they'd charge us extra for the travel.

I did feel the need to ding him a little bit in the Professionalism category though. We had signed a contract for 8 hours on our wedding day, but about a week before the wedding, he said something about 6 hours. When we challenged him, he said that was some sort of mistake on his part, and it should have been 6 hours. He agreed to stay for 7 hours, but he couldn't stay any longer because he had a "meeting" at 9:30 on a Friday night. Seemed a little convenient to me, and in my humble opinion, a contract is a contract.

But with all that being said, we were still very happy with everything we got from Peter. Our pictures turned out very well, and we still felt like we got a really good price on everything. We would recommend Peter.

Pete did an amazing job on our engagement shoot and wedding photos--I'm thrilled with how the photos turned out! He was professional and easy to work with. I appreciated that he texted me the day before the wedding to check in and let me know that he was on top of everything. We had budget constraints, but Pete was able to make a plan that worked perfectly for us! I definitely recommend working with Pete.

EDIT: I wasn't sure if I wanted to edit my review or not, but a friend of mine who is currently planning her wedding and my sister really thought that other brides would want to have this information. Pete takes wonderful photos--there is no doubt about that. Here's the but: after he sent me the digital photo files, he let me know that he would edit additional photos (he seems to only photoshop/edit a small handful of the photos, which I'm fine with) once I let him know which ones were my favorite. I had a cross-country move after my wedding and wasn't able to get back to him about this for a few months. In the late summer (the wedding was in May), I emailed him asking if he would do a small edit on two photos. I asked if he would remove some glare from my husband's glasses. That was the only edit I wanted for two photos that are my favorites. He responded by saying how difficult that kind of edit is and that he would look into it (but the gist was that he wasn't going to make the edit). Well, the boyfriend of one of my bridesmaids uses Photoshop frequently and told me that this is actually quite an easy edit to accomplish, and he offered to fix those photos for me. To be honest, it seemed like Pete had "checked out" because he had already been paid. Anyway, at least a friend is going to fix the photos. But it would have been nice if my professional wedding photographer had 1) noticed the glare without me having to ask about it and 2) had been willing to fix it once I asked. Pete takes beautiful photos, but be aware that something like this could happen.

I would not recommend Pete for wedding photography. He’s nice enough, but he provides subpar work and doesn’t stick to his own deadlines. According to his contract, our wedding photos should have been finished within 2 weeks. It took him 22 days, and he posted photos that were shot after our wedding before ours were finished. In addition, I ordered our photo book on October 27th and asked for an update on November 14th. It has now been 7 months, and no book.

All of that aside, he didn’t give us the quality or the care that we wanted. He doesn’t seem to understand the emotional side of weddings, and he missed a lot of really great moments (the nervous ring bearer high-fiving the best man when giving him the ring, the bride hugging her crying grandmother, the flower girl sleeping on the bride’s lap, the groom’s sister giving the bride a “something old” from their deceased mother, etc) and spent more time looking at the pictures he’d already taken than actually taking photos. Frequently on the wedding video, you see him standing around and not doing anything during important moments (first dance, interactions, etc). His second photographer was great and you can tell a real difference between the quality of her photos and his, and she really grasped the importance of in-the-moment interactions.

Pete has a tendency to not pay attention to detail. He cuts off feet and adds way too much empty space above heads. As someone who used to be a wedding photographer, that sort of basic photography knowledge is key to shooting quality photos. Many guests commented that he was rude and distant and there were times (such as after arriving to the venue for photos), he was nowhere to be found, so we wasted 15-20 minutes just standing around, then didn’t get all of the photos we wanted.

If he charged 1/4 of what he does, I would say it's acceptable for those on a budget. However, he charges the same prices as educated, professional photographers without the same quality.

We would not recommend (especially for a Chicago or city wedding, traditional wedding, or classy event). His words to us after sharing our thoughts on the photographs were disappointing and saddening. Mind you, we're an interracial couple with a lot of friends and family members with various backgrounds and cultures. Our rings were photographed on a comedy magazine (neither of us enjoy comedy, nor did we find amusing). No pictures were taken of our friends and family during our cocktail hour, despite having two photographers. Formal photographs of guests as couples and groups were requested, as we were hoping to include prints in thank you notes, failed to deliver pictures of many guests and couples. Photographs taken reflected more challenging aspects of the wedding rather than the enjoyable memories which stick in our minds. Many photographs were taken of others photographing. We did not ask for a refund for the photographs, despite our disappointing experience. After reflecting with friends and loved ones around the surprising correspondence and deliveries from the photographer, friends were saddened by our experience but we decided to move on and let it go. It's important we share our experience with you so you can plan accordingly and help to outline expectations with the photographer should you select this particular choice. Very few of our pictures are centered, sharp, etc. These days, most folks have phones which capture memories far more enjoyable than the artsy photographs wedding photographers try to capture to elevate their own careers and the industry. If you're into simplicity and class, and are looking for photographs that capture happy memories and formal, classic moments in a romantic or enchanting way, we would recommend looking elsewhere. If you're looking for photos which showcase the wedding industry, this may be an option.
