We found Jonathan on Thumbtack and we could tell from his page that he wasn't a cookie-cutter photographer. We appreciated that his style did not seem forced but instead he seemed to capture genuine moments with his couples. His shots also showed a great range of environments and lighting options. We later learned that the authenticity that shines through in the photos is due to Jonathan's relentless pursuit of an experience that's tailored to the couple.
Before the shoot, we met with Jonathan multiple times via Zoom, where he took the time to get to know us and our style. He created a Pinterest board for us to save photos we liked, so he was able to get a complete understanding of what types of photos we wanted. He rolled with and perfected everything we threw at him.
Jonathan suggested a "golden hour" shoot the day before the ceremony, which not only yielded great photos, but was incredibly fun and put us at ease. On both days of the shoot, we were lucky enough to also have his partner Lindsey assist. Their energy, ease of instruction, and attention to detail made the entire experience unforgettable. Our guests couldn't stop talking about the photographers for weeks afterward. Jonathan was responsive within hours everytime we had a question or comment, both before and after the shoot. We could not have been happier to have found Jonathan and Lindsey.

UPDATE - It's now 2/3 and I've been waiting for my photos to be sent since my wedding. Sadly, Jeanne has failed me in the communication department. I had to beg her more than once to get her to respond to a request for teaser photos and didn't receive them until almost a month after my wedding (I wanted to get a good couplesphoto to use for my thank-you cards and didn't want to wait for months to mail them). In fact, I wanted to tip above and beyond what I paid, but how can I do that if I can't even get the photos I initially paid for? I'll update again to a better review if I actually get a response and my digital photos/USB file (provided the pictures are worth the wait).
Jeanne was extremely professional, even after my DJ spilled soy sauce all over her camera :o!! I can't wait to see the photos from our wedding on 11.30.19. Thanks so much Jeanne! I'll post the pics when I receive them.

Great pictures and experience on the day of the event! Her prices were reasonable and she was super sweet. She arrived at the agreed-upon time (which I had easily changed from the original contract). She communicated well with the DJ to be sure to capture some of the special moments within her timeframe. We even asked her to stay longer than we planned.
I would hire her again- with an understanding of two things that would have helped to know in the beginning. From our experience, we learned not to expect timely responses to calls or messages. After a couple of messages/emails/calls over a span of multiple days, we were able to finally connect with Jess. Another thing to potentially anticipate is longer than the projected processing time. The original estimate was 10 days max for a couple of hours of photos (under 150 photos). I received the photos just before 6 weeks after the event. On one of the calls to check-in on the progress (about a week past the original estimate), she did tell me that she had a computer crash- so that complicated her estimate for the project completion.
In our final conversation, she did share that she is building the business side of the work but certainly stands behind the quality of her photos.
