Modern Wedding Photography with a touch of Awesome
“Sorry, but you need to turn around”, I told the driver.
He looked at me in the rearview mirror with raised eyebrows.
“I know I said we were done, but I will hate myself if we don’t get one more. We need one of the car and that…light. Please?”
He sighed and made a u-turn.

Sarah Der - Jonas. I feel like I know these two. She seems lovely and he seems kind and the images are such a thoughtful display of their affection and the overwhelming happiness bubbling just beneath the surface throughout the day–the picture where she is hugging him and you can see her eyes peeking over his shoulder (they are full of emotion) or the image where she sneaks a peek at him during the toast.
Oh, and of course the purple lilacs are beautiful. And the image of them looking so small in the landscape. Alright, I’m putting a stop to this gushing.
Matt - Just awesome Jonas. The bar is now in the moon’s orbit and rising. You’re something special mate.
Sue Barberá - I love that vintage glamour you can make on your weddings!! Beautiful!

Abi - Just stumbled upon your work through Ryan Bernizers blog…. wow is all i can say.. You have reminded me to stay close to my style and not to try to follow the crowd with endless detail shots and ‘must have’ shots…. really its been tearing my heart out how easy it is to get swallowed up by and in the wedding machine. So thanks for the reminder. You rock !!
Trent - no word of a lie. your pics are brilliant. gifted indeed. if there is ever a chance in the future that you need some ‘props’ drop us a line in the meantime keep up the sweet work !

Wedding Ideas II « this is: d.light.full - [...] 21 Sep My sister is getting married next year and we are all constantly looking for ideas. The deal is this: there is about a $5000 budget, the venue is a barn and field, the guest size is about 200 people. So from this wedding what I love is: the table set up the suitcase for cards the table layout and decorations the straws and bottled beverage wanna see more of this wedding go here [...]
Simple yet exclusive. Lavish yet understated. Marco and Daniela.

It’s like a dream.

Absolutely incredible photos, totally breathtaking.
I represent Frank and Sara who did the Bride’s hair and make-up for the Mallorca wedding at Cap Rocat and appear in a few of the pictures. I’m writing to ask your permission to post a couple of images on our website. We could also add a link to your website. We work on many prestigious advertising campaigns as well as luxury weddings.
Many thanks and I look forward to hearing from you soon.
All the best,
Lesley Lund
Mike McCann - WOW – stunning wedding photography. Stunning results in difficult light!
Mike

Sergio - Stunning and B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L pictures!
Julia - I love these photos. I’m actually going to have my wedding at Cap Rocat in July – I contacted you for photos and would like to get in touch with Frank and Sara/Lesley Lund who did the brides makeup.

Another Wedding Photographer - Just read an interview on flickr with you. Very inspiring to see how quickly you’ve made your journey over what seems a short period of time. I understand you were good at your craft before hand but nonetheless. I have just started so you give me hope :-) Love a rags to riches story (kinda if you know what I mean)
Markus Axelsson - Du är en sann inspiration för oss aspirerande bröllopsfotografer. Dina bilder är underbara!
Michael - Dom här bilderna skulle kunna funka i RES (magasinet), vilka miljlöbilder!
Vet att du haft ett seminarium i Stockholm idag, är inte så mycket för seminarier.
Men om du häller i en workshop nästa gång du besöker stan, skriv upp mig :)

Would appreciate any response…
Ryan Metcalfe - Cool. Will take a look.
Thanks for the speedy response.
Sandra - Hi! Beautiful photos, can I ask where the location in Eumundi is also? Looking for a location just like this – beautiful, rustic, open – for our wedding… Cheers, Sandra :)
You don’t get to see him.
The six-year old boy living in my head.
He’s traveling the world wide-eyed and happier than anyone you’ve ever met. Right before he meets you, he talks himself into looking grown-up, checks his reflection in a window and tries to wipe the grin off his face. He’s living the dream. His dream. Walking up to shake your hand, he’s making an effort. Oh, boy, is he ever. He’s doing his utmost not to skip those five last steps like a little girl, fall into your arms and thank you for letting him do what he does. He can’t let you see that happy boy within.
Not yet.
Instead he looks all grown-up and talks to you about business and stuff.
Nods and shows you albums.
But you should know this.
He’s six years old – if that.
And he’s fighting the urge to stick those straws up his nose.
But he loves you for letting him do this.

Gemma - Nice to meet you super talented 6 year old.
Totally feeling the same here, you just explained it real good. Are you sure you’re not 7? :)
Mandy - Love.
Dennis Pike - ha ha, you too?
Kat Braman - love this post. grinning from ear to ear now.
anda - you don’t know how meaningful it is to read a blog post like this from someone so successful. i’m thrilled for you and thrilled that you are wide-eyed and happy. so many people in your position use their energy to criticize other photographers and you put your energy into improving your work and wowing us all. i am new. and i was accused of being wide-eyed by some photogs in my market. i know it was a criticism, but to me, it’s a compliment. i’d rather be wide-eyed than burned out and cynical. way to go, jonas! and thank you :)
ayesha - you look much younger than six there, buddy.
but i get ya :)
Caroline Ghetes - You just turned my frown upside-down. Thanks for making me smile. I feel the same way. Except, like a little girl.
Dan O’Day - nice one
Sarah D. - I could’ve written this. It’s exactly how I feel. Except that I’m a six-year-old girl still in love with love and fairytales, and really truly believes that dreams DO come true, who stares in starry-eyed wonder at every new and beautiful thing every single day.
Cheers, little boy, from the little girl inside of me.
Engagement Rings Ireland - Super cute.
Lyn Ismael-Bennett - Charming :)
Lotta - Haha, du är så skön Jonas! 5+ för detta inlägg. Det är skönt att ibland få se bakom fasaden på andra människor och se att vi är ganska lika trots allt.
monaka - im just starting my second career – doing something that i’ve always wanted and dreamt about. it’s not easy and it’s scary and well just wanted to say that you’re inspirational. thank you.
Jason - Cute.
Paul Von Rieter - way to make a brotha put on a smile.
Mon and Lee - Nice to know we weren’t the only ones with butterflies as you talked to us about business and stuff, and nodded and showed us albums! You are shooting our wedding in three weeks, and your blog makes us feel like we already know you, which takes so much stress away. Thank you!
*Mette* - Jonas, my brother has told med that when he walks in his business suit on his way to work (his dreamjob too) he often thinks “When will they discover that I’m just a skateboarder in disguise?”
Congratulations to your success, you SO deserve it.
Eric Kotara - Made me smile. Thanks for this, Jonas.
gabe aceves - you are awesome.
Tim Coulson - so stoked for you…
wedding video - had to smile, thanks
Dublinjewellery - FANTASTIC! super cute photo!
