Joanna and WilliamWe were extremely impressed with his attention to detail, and he captured all the special moments from the dayWe used Jonathan as a videographer at our wedding in 2011. We were initially worried that we would feel self-conscious at being filmed, but he immediately made us feel at ease. We were extremely impressed with his attention to detail, and he captured all the special moments from the day. For anyone questioning whether a video is worthwhile for their wedding day, I can honestly say that it is 100% worth every penny. When we watched the video back, we were amazed at how many things we would have forgotten, had we not got it. It serves as an everlasting record of our day, and of our family and friends. Jonathan sets the video to music of your choice, so it is really personal. Even the stills from the video serve as excellent video. We would definitely recommend Jonathan to anyone looking for a photographer/videographer to capture a special moment!
