From the first consultation to the final gallery, they were professional, warm, and incredibly talented. He captured every special moment — the laughter, the little details — with such artistry and care.

On the wedding day, Jonathon blended in effortlessly, making everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera. The photos turned out beyond beautiful — every image tells a story, and we’ll cherish them for a lifetime.

Jonathon did a fantastic job with our photos and video. He captured the day perfectly! We got a video of the ceremony, speeches and first 3 dances which Jonathon was able to do himself with cameras set up and it was amazing to see after. I highly recommend Love Wedding Photos and Film and will use them in the future for any photographer needs I have.

Jonathon recently photographed our wedding and we couldn't be happier with the results. Our families were also extremely pleased and have been creating montages and framing the photos. Jonathon put us at ease and was professional and friendly and created lots of shots in such a short space of time. The communication before hand and after was great especially as there was last minute changes to our wedding. I would definitely recommend. Many thanks.
