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.

Christy Tyler - 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

{wedding} Cheree & Mitchell ~ Sydney & Cape Town

I get a few wedding inquiries. And even though I do get to shoot all over the world, I try not to get my hopes up. Plans change and weddings get cancelled. And for me it’s sometimes as exciting shooting in my own back yard. When I received Cheree and Mitchell’s inquiry about shooting their wedding, I reacted the way I normally do. I didn’t want to get my hopes up. Not only were they planning on having their reception at the Sydney Opera House, they also planned to have TWO weddings, the second one in Cape Town, South Africa, two weeks after the first one. I would have jumped at either one.

Well, they went through with it and I flew to Sydney to shoot their first wedding. And the same thing happened as always happens, I started shooting and time and place became irrelevant. I was shooting a beautiful love story, just look at the way Cheree and Mitchell look at each other, look at the way their families share those precious days with them. It wouldn’t have mattered where they got married. Not with love like that. It was interesting to see Cheree’s South African family share their joy with her and Mitchell in Cape Town, how much more at ease they were with their close friends around. Mitchell’s Maltese family shared the Sydney part of the wedding with them, but in many ways I wonder what it would have been like if the first part of the wedding would have taken place in Malta instead, Sydney the obvious middle ground, a mix of their two cultures. But home is always home. But saying that I know it wouldn’t have mattered. Look at Cheree looking at Mitchell. Look at him looking at her. Both in Sydney and in Cape Town. It wouldn’t have mattered where in the world they got married. They were already home.

Levi - Dina bilder är lika inspirerande som vanligt! Jag kommer ihåg första gången jag hittade till dig och dina bilder. Det var via Flickr, och det var i samband med att jag återupptog min egen fotografering efter ett års uppehåll. Jag var fullständigt fascinerad av dina berättelser, ditt enkla och raka sätt att fotografera och din förmåga att fånga känslor. Dina historier fick mig att ligga vaken under natten, tänkandes på dina berättelser och kännandes de känslor som du förmedlade via dina bilder.

Tidigare har jag endast fotograferat natur och landskap, men du har inspirerat mig att börja fotografera människor. Du har inspirerat mig till att försöka berätta en berättelse och att försöka dela med mig av känslor med mina bilder.

Tack!

Någon gång i framtiden kommer jag att berätta den här historien för dig igen. Jag kommer att upprepa den här historien för dig när jag ber dig att fotografera mitt eget bröllop. När jag ber dig att föreviga min och min flickväns kärlek till varandra. Jag hoppas att du kan befinna dig på plats, vart det än är, för att göra det. Då, någon gång i framtiden.

/Levi

October 25, 2012 - 7:31 pm

Chris - Smudged Photo - You know what I love the most about your photography Jonas, is that no matter what a story is told. An image could be a little soft, or out of focus (rarely) but you still capture the moment every time. It’s something I hope to emulate myself, I’m too harsh on my exposures sometimes thinking that if it’s not crystal clear and sharp then it’s no good.

Maisi Julian - Gorgeous! I want to get married again so you can photograph my wedding!!

{wedding} ~ Frida & Alex ~ Lipari ~ Italy

I normally wouldn’t include something like this in a blog post from a wedding, but this time it’s such a huge part of the story, so I simply have to. Alex only met his biological father once. He came to Stockholm out of the blue, they fought, they made up and promises were made they would catch up again on the island of Lipari, just off Sicily, where Alex father lived. Three weeks later, before Alex got to see him again, his father died in a tragic accident. Maybe I mention this because I too lost my father, but I feel it’s integral to the images I’m about to show you. Alex father left him a beautiful house on top of this magnificent island and the wedding took place there, getting ready, ceremony and the reception that followed. I imagine this has shaped Alex in more ways than one. You can tell he’s a man that looks after his relationships. The love he shows for Frida, his mother, his half brother, step father and everyone around him inspired me immensely. Helping me capture this weekend I had Jakob from Nordica Photography. I could write a whole blog post about his talent. And the wedding planners was my dear friends Mitra and Fabio. It was a love fest like no other.

I was there, i planned, I officiated, and you STILL made me cry (again) and you still got me caught up with that perfect piece of music… which by the way ended with me being halfway through, enthralled. I was there, and you captured me in again. God I love you. Ok enough. Not good for your ego. xx

September 4, 2012 - 10:53 am

Margo - I somehow managed to scroll through the pictures in perfect timing with the music so that it played out like a deeply heartfelt silent film. The photos, the story, and the love expressed in this post are incredibly emotional and heartwarming. You did a fabulous job of capturing the emotion and joy of this couple’s wedding day. What a powerful and beautiful post this is.

Stephanie F. - I didn’t want the photos to ever end… so touching. I was in tears by the end of the set. What a wonderfully beautiful wedding. It was as if I could feel all of the emotion that went into their day and everything leading up to how they came to wed at this beautiful home.
thank you for sharing

anonymous - I sit at my desk, my 9-5 desk, with my heart hurting. The phone rings over and over again, I smile and answer, but this is not where I belong. Every now and then I open your blog on a side tab and flip through the images to help me get through the day. The images tell a story that I wish I could tell, or even be a part of. One day I hope I can escape. I hope I can offer someone else an escape. A medicine out of this jail of unhappiness. A place to be free.

Keep on shining.

Andrew J - Really well seen and created images.

My grandfather was from Lipari and unfortunately we never got to know that side of him as he lived away from us and so it’s wonderful to see something contemporary located in that part of the world and something with a real photographers sensibility and eyes.

Thanks for sharing this.

ASH - Every time I look at your photos, it’s like a personal mediation for me; a secret world. Your photos, with the music, tell such a breathtaking story (as usual). Can I ask which song was used here?
