{andrew & jenny} ~ wedding ~ the secret garden
If you didn’t know it was there, you would never find it. I guess that’s why it’s called the secret garden. Just a small sign. You drive down a private road and suddenly it ends. You’re there. In the secret garden.
I flew five hours from Brisbane to Perth, drove another three down to Margaret River and in the end it was so worth it. Jenny and Andrew had a beautiful wedding and a great reception. Guests from Scotland left snow and -30C to land in the middle of an Australian heat wave. The day I left Perth it was 46C. Living in Brisbane, I’m kind of used to the heat, but thats’s 76 degrees warmer than Scotland. It must have felt like going to another planet for many of the guests from Europe.
Jenny wore an Akira dress, Andrew wore a manly Scottish garment, perfect for the Australian summer.
I think I’ll get one too.
Slàinte Mhath!

Erin - Jonas, I don’t think I can stand look at any more of your photos. They are just TOO good. And good is not the word, ok, too PHENOMENAL. That’s better. Your creativity and perspective is genius!
January 27, 2010 - 6:41 am
Micah Cordes - SECRET GARDEN OWNAGE. nuff said.
January 27, 2010 - 6:48 am
Phill - I’d be tempted to buy a copy of the album myself.
January 27, 2010 - 6:52 am
An Affair With Fashion - Had to look twice at the “photo” of the guy dancing with a mini dress and heels on!!!
I remember my secret garden as a kid. Looks like this was a stunning wedding captured beautifully by you.
January 27, 2010 - 6:56 am
Robb Duncan - Its all the little things that really make this awesome work Jonas. And you should totally get a kilt, its air conditioned comfort all the way!!
January 27, 2010 - 7:04 am
Eric Yerke - Story well told. That’ll make a stellar album
January 27, 2010 - 7:16 am

January 27, 2010 - 1:13 pm
Adrienne Gunde - As always, there are no words – every single image is perfection. Love the ones in the yellow room, the stunning light in the portraits, the whimsical details & location, and of course, all the amazing intimate moments you captured.
January 27, 2010 - 3:54 pm
Poser - The 50 is the money, yeah?
That portrait of the bride holding her dress in the garden is frickin ridiculous.
:P
January 27, 2010 - 5:29 pm
Emma Pointon - Love the secret garden, it is a stunning location and you have done it justice with these beautiful images. My favourite has to be the BW image of the bride in front of the pond – gorgeous!
January 27, 2010 - 6:01 pm
Å. - WOW! You’re back! Varje foto har du verkligen lyckats med. Jag sitter andaktigt och tittar. Den här gången var det inte tvekan eller nåt som störde på någon av bilderna. Du är tillbaka.
January 27, 2010 - 6:09 pm
Rickar - Outstanding as always!! Question, a lot of the photos almost look like they are taken with film because of the beautiful grain. Is this just because of the fantastic high ISO your camera can handle or do you add some effect/filter in the post processing?
Btw, it is also fantastic how you have become so skilled with your Tilt Shift lens!:)
January 27, 2010 - 6:12 pm
Jonas - Thanks, guys.
@Rickard: I add film grain in PS.

JOHN BENAVENTE - hammertime
January 27, 2010 - 6:43 pm
ayesha - i’m almost afraid of the day you shoot a wedding in scotland – home of my heart – because i think you might break my heart with your pictures :) this was close enough! “secret garden,” the kilts, the dancing, the light – you can feel the summer heat, with that image of the guests sitting on the wall during the ceremony – all these things make your random wedding blog post mean something personal to random me. that’s such a gift, dude…
January 27, 2010 - 9:10 pm
Marianne Taylor - What a lovely venue! The dress in the tree is killing me, can’t wait for some summer weddings out in the countryside – not so easy to do that kind of thing in central London! :D Great job as usual, always an inspiration
January 27, 2010 - 9:37 pm
Jim Marsden - Every time i see your posts i automatically start smiling and dreaming in equal measure. You constantly make me want to get up and do this. Thankyou.
January 27, 2010 - 9:54 pm
Madelene - Jonas, your photos are… WOW. I’m not able to describe with words what kinds of feelings they arouse within me. This time I shed a tiny, Swedish tear – in front of my computer in your old hometown of Götelaborg. I’ve followed you for over 5 years. What an amazing journey! Varma hälsningar från den vädermässigt totalt vidriga lilla hamnstaden på Sveriges bästkust. Slask-o-mania!

January 28, 2010 - 10:14 am
William Massey - You never cease to amazing me, Jonas! It’s amazing what you do sometimes. I consider some light “unshootable” and then you make amazing images with it.
January 28, 2010 - 10:15 am

matt s. - You win, Jonas. I quit. Those are unbelievable. I feel like I was there with you experiencing the whole thing. Not only that, but I feel like I know the couple as well. No wonder you’re the king.
January 28, 2010 - 11:23 am
Timothy E Kaldas - Jonas, yet another brilliant set. I love the shots when you’re following the groom around by his kilt. The lighting on the bride coming in with her father for the ceremony is really stunning and the reception shots really give off the energy of the party. It all comes together beautifully. Great storytelling.
January 28, 2010 - 12:02 pm
Christine - What a beautiful and incredible day, captured only as you can do. I just love so many of these! Amazing!
January 28, 2010 - 2:47 pm

Elissa - I just came to your site to plug the Haiti auction on my blog and I noticed the gorgeous Jenny and her beautiful wedding. I went to university with her (and half her guests)! As we say in Perth, it’s a small Perth (and a small Australia).
January 29, 2010 - 2:57 am
Kristi Wright - Your work always amazes me. I absolutely love the 3 shots of the bride in front of the yellow wall. I love so many more but those are my favs. You rock!

Kirsten - This may be my favorite wedding you have ever shot Jonas! Not just because of the wedding, but the images you captured. It’s……….there aren’t good enough adjectives!!!!!
January 30, 2010 - 1:12 pm
Natalie - I love that shot of them eating through the window, and the one of her in front of the yellow bedroom wall, and the kilt going upstairs. I was surprised to see the photobooth setup! – Natalie (swpb)

{john & alice} ~ portraits ~ margaret river | Brisbane Wedding Photographer | Jonas Peterson | Australia | International - [...] shoot portraits too often, which is a shame. I love portraits.

Haiti Auction II
The first auction raised more than $2600 for the relief efforts in Haiti and we were blown away by the response from both the public and other photographers. Many wanted a second auction and we decided to go for it. Some of my favorite photographers have donated prints and if you don’t want to place a bid on mine, have a look at the others.
The funds raised this time will all go to a single decided upon charity who is helping out in Haiti right now. This will be done after the auction and all donations will be made in the name of the winners.

plastic fantastic
The better my cameras become, the more I feel the need to use crappy cameras on the side. I rarely whip out my Canon 5D Mark II if I want to take photos for fun, instead I rely on my Holga, Diana, SX-70 or my latest piece of plastic, the Zumi Digital. Life is surreal as it is, but through a plastic lens it quickly goes from strange to bizarre. A simple flight to Perth becomes a synopsis to a movie directed by David Lynch.

January 25, 2010 - 9:23 pm
Annelie - Ibland är det enklaste medlen dem roligaste:) Byggde en egen lådkamera för flera år sedan på en fotokurs. Så roliga bilder, men tyvärr måste man ha tillgång till mörkrum och har inte plats för det hemma.
January 25, 2010 - 11:49 pm
Solveig - Du är för skön! Andra bilden uppifrån har faktiskt något “Lynchigt” över sig! Försöker du säga att man inte behöver någon bra kamera utan att det räcker med att kunna fotografera?;)
January 26, 2010 - 2:22 am
Eliza Claire Kent Photographer - I was thinking today about toy cameras (on the train to work, as you do…) and wondering what the attraction is. As photographers, we’re always looking for the best, the newest, the fastest. Faster glass, memory cards with ultra high speed, FPS, Flash Sync speed. Perhaps the real beauty of toy cameras is their ability to make us slow down. Sometimes we need to slow the f**k down and notice what’s around us.
I think your post illustrates my conclusions perfectly, even if they were taken at 30,000 ft at about 200mph!
January 26, 2010 - 9:27 am
Lainey - Oh, plastic cameras. They truly are the best. I love this pictures, especially the woman’s legs.
January 26, 2010 - 4:36 pm
William Massey - I never thought there would be a digital “lomo” camera! That’s awesome!
January 26, 2010 - 6:22 pm
Philip Smith - I have a couple of old cameras that do pretty much the same job. Also, my camera phone, which is so poor it has a really good look to it.
