One day in August, Bec and Mic invited friends and family from Brisbane, Australia to a small tea party in Golden Gate Park in San Francisco. I brought my friend Nirav Patel to document what happened.

Looking at these images I can almost smell the eucalyptus trees. You are an outstanding wedding photographer.
January 8, 2013 - 7:03 am
Really lovely. The shot at the start of the ceremony of the stifled laugh/nervous giggle is great.

January 8, 2013 - 8:06 am
Really loved the composition in the couple portraits. How nuts were those two ladies with the dresses matching colours with the decorations! An odd thing to point out I know but stuck in my mind :)

Greets from the Netherlands!

Even after watching you in action, I’m still blown away by how you see things. True talent and an amazing vision. Cheers my friend.
January 8, 2013 - 9:31 am
As per usual, I am blown away. I would ask both of you to quit it… but that would just be stupid. Instead I ask you to do it more. Keep being awesome and creating images that make my jaw hit the floor. Keep it up brothas’
January 8, 2013 - 9:32 am
Lovely Jonas
January 8, 2013 - 9:37 am

January 9, 2013 - 9:24 am

January 9, 2013 - 12:48 pm
Each time I really do think to myself, ‘I’m not going to comment, there’s really no point’, but then, there it is- something new, fresh and inspiring. I love that you continue to aim higher with every post and give each couple a their own personality.

February 4, 2013 - 9:53 pm
First time commenting on your blog. After seeing these images, I couldn’t leave without saying something. Incredible effort. You have inspired me – thank you.
February 6, 2013 - 1:49 pm
Truly breathtaking.. Beautiful work by yourself and Nirav.
February 8, 2013 - 10:43 am
Incredible images from start to finish!
February 9, 2013 - 4:03 am
Always so moving, such beautiful work!
February 10, 2013 - 9:17 am
Jonas – this wedding is stunning. I’m especially falling for the images of the bride in black & white turned away from the camera. Gorgeous.
But while I am in awe of your eye for moments, storytelling, and your vision… after getting to know you this week at What If, I am looking at your work with a new view… That is one of appreciation for the beauty of it all, and peace in enjoying it as art… but no longer viewing it from a place of comparison, or jealousy (as I may have in the past).
You inspired me this week to embrace my own unique voice & shoot from the hole in my heart. You encouraged me to have the courage to shoot what I love and what inspires me, instead of following along with what is expected by others, by the “industry standards”, or even by my clients.
I meant to write you an email saying all this but clearly got carried away in this blog comment instead… haha. (I hope that’s okay!) Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your humility and for your openness in sharing with all of us. I had a fabulous time just hanging out and will always come back to the words you shared with us as I continue on this crazy journey, “It’s not about finding your voice, it’s about accepting the voice you have.”
Thank you. Safe travels & be well!
~Christy

I can’t with words describe how talented you are. You’ve got a special eye, that one would go over dead bodies to have. This wedding pics are just beautiful and I can watch every single of them over and over again. You’re a truly amazing photographer and a big inspiration to me.
All the best!

March 25, 2013 - 1:28 am
This is simply beautiful. I’ve come across pj/lifestyle photographers that are awesome, but this takes the cake. The way you capture moments, your processing, and use of natural light is incredible. I’m so glad I came across your blog. Very inspirational stuff.
March 25, 2013 - 8:37 pm
Impresionante!! cuanto mas veces veo este trabajo, mas atrapado me quedo. Enhorabuena!!
March 25, 2013 - 8:50 pm
Beautiful work Jonas!
March 28, 2013 - 12:31 am
I really like this set. It started off a little slow for me, but once the ceremony started it really started to shine. I love the pictures of the solo bride. I too like the effect of removing all true white from wedding photo’s. I think it adds something to the intimacy of it all. Again, nice work!
March 28, 2013 - 2:42 am
There’s a little darkness in this magic. I love it, Jonas.

Seen this post over a dozen times, i still come back, the composition/timing is amazing.
May 20, 2013 - 12:46 pm
What they said… stunning, nice, epic (etc etc)
On New Years Day I woke up early, made my way down to the beach in Carmel, California and sat down. I took my shoes off and waded out into the water, washed my face in the cold Pacific and went back up to my family. I felt refreshed. 2012 was an amazing year. I’ve learned to live more in the moment than I used to. I appreciate the smaller things and worry less about five year plans and doing the right thing. I do what makes sense to me there and then and make that my life plan. Along the way I see patterns, but I never let them guide me, I just see them as markers I leave behind. Oh, so that’s what I’m doing. Interesting. I’ve collected some photos from my 2012, not a best of in any way, just moments from the year, a selected few, random and out of order. Maybe there’s a pattern there, but I really don’t care. It was a good year and I lived it to the best of my capacity. Here’s to yesterday, here’s to the future, but most importantly – here’s to today. Let’s drink from the cup we have in front of us.

Wowww!!, fantastic, no words, glups!
January 4, 2013 - 5:49 am
I can remember seeing the same post from you at the same time last year and thinking “how can Jonas improve in 2012 when he’s already reached the dizzying heights of perfection”. And yet you have done it again and again in 2012. And you will continue to smash it again in 2013 because you’ve the courage to dare to be different. To push boundaries. To be a true pioneer. You’re untouchable. You’re an inspiration to wedding photographers the world over.
January 4, 2013 - 5:49 am
Absolutely STUNNING!!!!

Stunning work. Take care… :)

Flying whale = win. Bad-ass fitness bride = double win. Fantastic stuff and great to see the way your head works and shifts.

Wouhaou…. So many amazing pictures! I’m a absolute fan of you! That is a great remembering of the year. I became a photographer when i came back in France after 1 year in Oz. Australia made me fall in love with the beauty… I really hope to go back again, i haven’t seen everything yet!! ;)

Pura inspiração para quem vê, novo ano cheio de vitórias para você, Jonas – Abraço do Brasil
January 4, 2013 - 7:30 am
Varje gång jag tvivlar på att jag har någon som helst talang, varje gång jag inser att jag bara fotat i 18 månader, varje gång jag tänker att “fan, jag är så kass”, eller “jag skulle ge min underkropp för att ha blivit född med Ögat”, eller alla gånger jag inser att jag inte har full koll på hur min kamera tänker – då tittar jag in på din sida. Även fast jag inte är i närheten av vad du visar, så ger det mig ändå någon sorts tillförsikt, hur konstigt det än låter. För du förmedlar det jag önskar att jag kan förmedla. En känsla.
Jag vill inte ta samma foton som du tar. Jag bryr mig inte om vilka kamerahus du använder, vilka gluggar du har eller vilka inställningar du har rattat in. Det är förmågan att beröra som räknas.
Jag är en musikalnörd även, och har många gånger fått frågan om vad jag föredrar; någon som sjunger vackert men inte kan beröra, eller någon som sjunger mindre bra men som berör.
Jag föredrar alltid den senare. Och det hoppas jag att jag kan uppnå med mitt fotograferande också. men helst vill jag göra både och, som du. Vackert OCH berörande.

ridiculous. you are ridiculously good.
January 4, 2013 - 8:13 am
Great work, styles moving and breaking moulds – cool!
January 4, 2013 - 8:50 am
Jonas, your images speak SO much. Incredibly beautiful and I can only hope the someday soon in the future you’ll be available to capture the love on my wedding day. Otherwise, I’ll just have to make myself available when you’re available!
Looking forward to many more incredible images this year. I love the way you see things, and are there to capture them. I used to be more like that, and you inspire me to find that in myself again.

Dina bilder gör mig breathless, bokstavligt faktiskt. Sitter alltid och håller andan och bara förundras. De är fantastiskt vackra. Känns så kul att ha följt dig via bloggen ända sedan reklam- och silverfiskåren, för att nu se dig ha hittat så otroligt rätt med jobbet och livet. Kram på dig!

Jonas… Love your work… its absolutely stunning!!! Thank you
by Jonas Peterson
Meredith Adams - love it. :)
r. collins - Where the fuck have you been?
I had dinner ready and waited for you, going on three weeks ago.
You’re grounded.
Emilie - Beautiful text… Have you been inspired by Vancouver? ;)
mike - He’s alive!
Come to the states and we’ll shoot a wedding together.
Kristyn - heartacheheartacheheartache.
Christy Tyler - I do this very same thing and am happy to know I’m not alone!! I obsessively people watch and want to know all of their stories… What makes them laugh, what makes them cry, who they love… And if watching them doesn’t give way to any secrets- I often find myself making up a story for them.
Gold Hat Photography - Love it! Well written and so true of human observation. It amazes me how English is not your first language but you write like this. (I know you won copywriting awards in the past, but these off the cuff posts are more impressive to me!)
Kirsika Maamägi - WOW! That text made me gasp. I am in love right now and just the feeling when I receive a text from him… I think anyone with eyes can see it. From the way I am. The way it is.
Thank you for this. So beautiful.
Melanie McNiven - Awesome. I absolutely love this.
Rima Darwash - I absolutely love this
Ken Tan - Love this!!!
Heather Hamer Photography - Love it!
Rici - I love these words Jonas! Just last week I was talking to a friend about looking a bit longer and letting your eyes linger to see just this extra bit more in a moment. Very nicely put!!!
~ Saluti.
Kandid Weddings Photography - Those fleeting moments make you gasp…and make you want to capture them forever.
Joanna - Känner igen mig
Oscar Rellán - Awesome; Love it!
Sam - I shall remain calm. Unless of course you appear to be carrying a knife, In which case I will appear alarmed.
Maria Assia - Love the emotion!
