“Our experience with Jonathan at Bluephoto was, from start to finish, wonderful. From the get go, he was transparent about how he operates business and willing to tailor his services to our needs as a couple. He is fun and easy to be around, which made for light-hearted and laughter-filled interactions. Such interactions made our engagement shoot a great date night caught on film, and we would have loved to have Jonathan at our wedding, photographs or not. He was a great guest, dancing his heart out right alongside us. And all the while, Jonathan operates with absolute professionalism; he’s organized and always responded quickly to emails and phone calls. Not only that but he has a truly creative eye. His artistic vision is clear and his execution artfully imaginative. He utilizes light in a way that is breath-taking. And if anyone can get the shot, he can. Somehow, he’s everywhere. Looking back, we’ve said repeatedly, “How did he do that?!” or “I didn’t even know he was there!” On our big day Jonathan was unobtrusive, always available and calm amidst all the craziness a wedding day brings. The day now past, we can’t stop returning to our photos and video montage, which we’ve watched a good 30 times and shown to everyone we know. His creative gift has captured and immortalized our love in a way that we couldn’t have hoped to be more beautiful. We already look forward to working more with Jonathan for anniversary shoots, if he can squeeze us in.” (Alissa and James – Wedding Images: HERE)

Ashley and Abel – Engagement

Ashley and Abel are this photographer’s perfect clients. Ashley is all smiles and bursting with love for her man. And Abel understands precisely how fortunate they are to have found each other. Ashley emailed me a while back and found that I was booked for her date. This happens far to often, but in this instance, she changed things around to accommodate my schedule. And WOW – I am so happy she did! The images flowed easily as we made our way around San Luis Obispo. Throughout the day it was raining off and on but, as it came time for us to meet up, the rain stayed away.

I made a couple new friends last Saturday and I am truly honored to have been chosen to be a part of Ashley and Abel’s wedding day. See you two soon!!

Alissa and James – Wedding

admin — Sat, 21 Jan 2012 00:02:34 +0000

Last Sunday I went outside to find ice on my car windows and a front yard filled crunchy popsicle grass. In January, the mornings in San Luis Obispo always start off cold, but as the days progress, the Mediterranean climate kicks in making the afternoons warm and comfortable. Alissa and James were married last week at the Flying Caballos Ranch wedding venue here in San Luis Obispo. Flying Caballos is within eyesight of my house and has a magical quality that keeps it one of my very favorite wedding venues. I took pictures of Alissa and James a few months back (HERE) and got to know them a little. Suffice it to say that their romantic engagement has set the stage for a lifetime of happiness. I look forward to keeping up with these two as the years go by.

I got to talking with one of their wedding guests and she asked me what I love most about being a wedding photographer. I’ve heard this question before and I’ve answered this question many times but, this time it got me thinking. I gave her one of my standard responses: “I love the time I have during the week to be with my kid” or, “I enjoy being paid to be artistic” or, “I love a great party!” As I was editing these pictures I thought more about my answer to the question. I do enjoy very much being a wedding photographer, so the query is valid and accurate. However, there is more to the answer than attending at a great party with great food and being paid to take pictures of it. Going to weddings and seeing people make a leap of faith into the world of marriage inspires hope. The inspiration and hope for goodness and a happy existence is something I am surrounded by. I am constantly reminded of the goodness and love that is in my own life. And this is addicting! Being a part of a day where the one thing that matters most is two people that have decided to join together and say to the world that they will love each other and help each other to find happiness for the rest of their lives is simply wonderful~!

So, that is my amended answer to the question. I’m sure as I grow and as my family continues down our path, my answer will change a bit, but for now, that’s what I love the most about being a wedding photographer.
