September 2, 2010 - 8:49 pm

September 2, 2010 - 10:32 pm
Dennis Pike - Ya know, I used to think, well, Jonas lives in Australia, and gets to go to exotic places, so of course his imagery will be amazing. But then you go and shoot an hour away from me, and still come up with amazing imagery. Clearly showing it is all about the man behind the camera. Good work.

{wedding} nick & surya, basalt, colorado.
This is a story impossible to tell.
You had to be there.
It’s as simple as that.
No photos or words in the world can describe the awesomeness of this day, this night, these people.
Nick and Surya.
“We are having a fun, vintagey picnic style wedding on a mountain in Colorado with BBQ ribs and tons of beer. It just seems like your style would be an amazing fit.”
I received that email in September last year and even though Nick and Surya thought I was based in Brisbane, California and not Brisbane, Australia, we worked it out.
Because this was meant to be.
Fast forward to the end of July and I’m driving up from Denver to Aspen, nervous but also happy and excited. I love what I do. As some of you know this is my second career, my fallback plan and it has changed my life profoundly. You all have made me a better man. People like Nick and Surya. And people like Erik, who flew up from Texas to shoot this wedding together with me. Erik is in my opinion one of the best wedding photographers in the US, so having him there with me meant more than you can imagine. Add the amazingness of Beth, the wedding planner and you have a day to remember forever.
I don’t know how to best describe this wedding, all I know is that I have met people I hope to stay in touch with for the rest of my life, so instead I’ll leave you with the song ”Love Is A Big Deal” that Surya’s sister Miya performed for Nick and Surya’s first dance (iTunes). And also what Garland, celebrant and BFF, said at the beginning of the ceremony.
True love truly is a big deal.

“First, a word.
This is a celebration. This is not a sit on your hands, wait for it to be over, wondering what the readings mean wedding. This is a stand up and cheer wedding. This is a clap your hand joyous wedding. This is a day that you are a part of because you are awesome people and this is an awesome couple. and we’re to hoot and holler about that. So please feel free to be as joyful and raucous as you’d like. in fact, it is encouraged.
That being said, a thank you is in order. Thank you for being here. Thank you for the miles you have traveled and for making the choice to come today to celebrate. To support.
To love.
Your presence here is not taken lightly. You were invited to bear witness to this day because you are an integral part of this story. You are family, you are friends. You were there in those first months. You saw the glimmer. The spark in their eyes as they spoke of the other. “this is the one” they said. And over a glass of wine. Or on a cross country phone call. Or an email from a world away. You said “yes. And I couldn’t be happier for you.””

August 25, 2010 - 12:31 am
Kat Braman - i don’t even know what the say. it’s just so breathtakingly beautiful. the 2 that stand out immediately are the one of the bride with her mother aboutn to walk down the aisle and the close up of the groom during the ceremony. I also love how you can feel the mood change as you shift from the ceremony to the reception.
August 25, 2010 - 12:33 am

Suzanne - Thanks for sharing, Jonas. These photos easily put a smile on my face — but my favourite is ‘grovers01556′. I just can’t help wondering if it’s been post processed or a ‘SOOC’. I really like the effect. Hmm so I just decided. If one day I ever want to get serious about wedding photography, I will definitely visit here for inspiration…or even better, pay you to be my mentor here in Brisbane.

August 25, 2010 - 2:51 am
h - howwwwww? seriously. so many “hows.” specifically how do you conjure sunlight AND dramatic, brooding, storm clouds in the same time? and how do you win so much?
August 25, 2010 - 3:00 am

August 25, 2010 - 3:40 am
Jennifer - It’s all been said, but your work, the gorgeous couple, the stellar location, the mad-about-plaid style deserves yet another congrats to everyone involved. And THAT’s the Airstream I’ve been coveting.
August 25, 2010 - 3:51 am

August 25, 2010 - 7:04 am
Drew W - Undoubtably one of my most favorite weddings that you’ve ever done. Amazing work Jonas!
August 25, 2010 - 7:09 am
Harry - Silverfisken, you made me cry. Again. But this was different.
Your words, the song and the speech was wonderful.
But this time you told a story unheard of with your pictures. The most beautiful movie I’ve ever seen played in my head when I saw the pics of the couple seeing each other for the first time before the ceremony.
Just in time for the ceremony pictures my Spotify played the song Skin (Shine) by Ras Cricket.
http://listen.grooveshark.com/s/Skin/2opV3P
Ok, the song’s mainly in swedish but just as I scrolled down to the pic with the “True love is a big deal” sign, Ras sang the only line in english in the song:
“To my inspiration and my shining star
To my inspiration and my shining star…”.
Epic.
This is, by far, your best weddingstory told ever.
August 25, 2010 - 7:28 am
Samantha - pure magic x
August 25, 2010 - 7:35 am
Christine Wendelborg - Just amazing!

Hats off to you

August 25, 2010 - 9:26 am

August 25, 2010 - 9:26 am

kiyono - hi jonas, it’s me, surya’s mom. thank you for saving the magic and beauty of the day. your work brings it all back. the photo of suri waiting for nick to see her for the first time captures her from birth to that moment– breath held, hopes and dreams realized. and somehow your presence was also a part of it all. you weren’t just the photographer– you were a participant in the celebration. they loved you from the moment they found you. yup, meant to be.
August 25, 2010 - 5:51 pm
Jeanette - Awesome awesome set!! Love the setting, and the couple, and the emotion in your photos
August 25, 2010 - 7:43 pm

August 31, 2010 - 8:53 am
gabe aceves - I probably looked at this post 20 times before I could find words for it. It is flat out beautiful in every way Jonas. I am inspired both by your photos and their obvious love for each other. A perfect match for sure.
August 31, 2010 - 11:40 am

August 23, 2010 - 2:42 pm

August 23, 2010 - 2:45 pm

August 23, 2010 - 2:51 pm
Bobby - Brilliant shot mate!!! What lens?
August 23, 2010 - 3:02 pm
Jonas - @Bobby: Canon 50mm f/1.2L @f/1.4
August 23, 2010 - 3:29 pm
ken kienow - this might be my favorite photo of yours yet.
August 23, 2010 - 3:38 pm
Tenielle - Unbelievably beautiful…. as beautiful as the previous… and the one before…. and that other one… and the one before that! Now tell me…..where do you get all these supermodels? ;)
August 23, 2010 - 7:05 pm
Johan - ISO400 was an artistic choice? The grain factor. The shutter was 1/2000 so youve could have gone with ISO100 easily.
August 23, 2010 - 7:25 pm
Jonas - I add grain to my images, so I don’t really worry about whether I’m on ISO 100 or 800. Or maybe you think it would have looked waaaay better at ISO 100?
August 23, 2010 - 7:31 pm
Chloe - Be-au-ti-ful. As always!
August 23, 2010 - 8:15 pm
Johan - Thanks. Nah, that shot is just super beautiful Jonas. Iso400 just adds that extra lightness as a whole I guess. Great work!
August 23, 2010 - 9:37 pm
Erin lassahn - She,and this photo are absolutely breath taking. You truly have a gift Jonas.
August 23, 2010 - 9:47 pm
Kristen - A truly beautiful image with amazing light.
IMO talking about the ISO is like talking about what brush a painter used. Just sit back and enjoy the art.
August 23, 2010 - 9:55 pm
Jared Tseng - This light is delicious.
August 24, 2010 - 4:54 am
Mickael Tannus - Amazing light. Just like everyone else already said. I cant praise you enough Jonas. And as Tenielle said, where do you you get all theses beautiful women? :)
August 24, 2010 - 5:08 am
Teresa K - what a stunning image….the quality of light is outstanding and she’s framed perfectly between the trees…but honestly, I’ve just come to expect greatness from you these days…you’ve never disappointed either.
August 24, 2010 - 6:10 am
Reathel - This is like a signature photo of yours. Just as I can recognize your tilt-shift work this too immediately say’s Jonas. The, how would you say… lightness of the image is a beautiful thing. Thanks for sharing your work, it’s an inspiration.
August 24, 2010 - 8:16 am
Colorado Wedding Photographers, JasonG - Damn. Amazing.
August 24, 2010 - 3:53 pm
Rhys - This is…well, just stunning.
August 24, 2010 - 5:10 pm
Sebastian - Any chance of ever getting to see the SOOC of that shot? Or any other shot, for that matter :-) Perhaps on flickr?
August 24, 2010 - 5:27 pm
Linda - Du har tagit många bilder som verkligen fastnat, men det här måste vara en av mina absoluta favoriter! Helt fantastisk, jag förstår att folk tackar dig för att du tar deras bilder!
August 24, 2010 - 7:29 pm
Matt and Katie | Photographers - Beautiful Jonas.
August 24, 2010 - 10:20 pm
Steven R - Beautiful tone across the whole image. Vey peaceful and calming feel to it, easy on the eye… but I bet she wishes she’d cut the lawn.
August 25, 2010 - 9:16 am
Amber - wow – these photos are amazing. They’re so full of love and happiness, it makes my smile so much even looking at them. That wedding must have been magical!
August 26, 2010 - 9:32 pm
Stew - mate your work is gorgeous, i’ve said before. i am dazed by the amount of comments you get, i reckon you could take a photo of a toilet and get 50 comments!! :D
August 27, 2010 - 6:04 am
Peter Györffy - Perfect. Very beautiful.
September 3, 2010 - 12:18 am
Karolina - Helt fantastiska bilder. Du är ett geni.
August 22, 2010
Right
So, I’ve noticed something.
I fly in from Australia, check in to my hotel and then a couple of hours later I meet up with the couple I’ve talked to online for months.
And they thank me.
Me.
- Thank you for taking the time to shoot our wedding.
- Thank you for being here.
- We feel so honoured.
And I think.
Thank me?
For the chance to go to cities I’ve never been to.
And hang out with people who like what I do?
You are flying me across the world and you are saying what?
Thank.
Me?
Right.

August 23, 2010 - 2:23 am

August 22, 2010 - 4:06 am
Rickard - Isn´t it so that you are actually using your TS-lens a lot but that you use it in fricking creative way? I mean, the first pics I saw from a TS-lens was just “miniature”-photos. Bu you use it a lot in your portraits with a distance in it, right?
Amazing work as always.
