Modern Wedding Photography with a touch of Awesome
.jpg)
So, I’m still jetlagged from my trip overseas and wake up at the strangest hours. This morning I decided to at least use the fact that I was wide awake at 4 am in the morning, so I got my gear ready and headed out just before sunrise. I’m normally not much for taking photos of purdy skies (I’m lying, who am I kidding), but I felt I had to get out of the house. This is the view from just outside my house this morning. And every morning for that matter.
Jacqui’s family breeds race horses, so now and then we jump in the car and drive up to their farm in Warwick and a world very foreign to me. I’m a city boy myself, but I love going there and I respect horses. I got thrown off one once, but I still love being around them. Sometimes they try to bully me, but nowadays I just stare back. Always the same standoff; the city boy with the camera and the horses gathering around me. Here are a few photos I’ve taken up at the farm the last year or so. I can’t wait to go back and shoot some more.

I can’t tear my eyes away. These are incredible. Jonas, I’m in awe.
Wonderful captures. Love the colours.
Wow! The textures and colors are just amazing!
Jag tittar ofta in hos dig men är dålig på att kommentera. Du tar helt fantastiska bilder och som inbiten hästtjej kan jag inte annat än älska dessa bilder. En stor inspirationskälla är du och jag älskar hur du alltid lyckas fånga ljuset och få bilderna sådär magiska!
dina bilder är så fulla av liv, du måste vara så gladoch nöjd, om inte så tror man på det du visar!
These images show the true beauty of a horse….I too love being in thier presence…magical creatures…magical photography..mind if I show them on my blog I will credit you of course…!!!

Geoff and Cait.
My first couple of the year. Seemed like a nice mellow wedding to begin the year with. And it was awesome, just different from what I expected.
No shenanigans, just a quiet one on the river, I said to myself the morning of the wedding.
Boy, was I wrong.
It was teh shiznut.
You’ll find a slideshow to music here, don’t miss it.

You have an ability to find the core of the beauty in people in front of your camera. I am so impressed!

I looooove the picture of the bride infron of that amazing tree.

Jonas, you are truly one of the best wedding photogs I’ve ever seen.
My favorite from this post is the backlit one of the bride down by the river with the bouquet in her hand. Stunning!!!
Love the one in the stairs, holy crap that’s good.

Jonas, Amazing work! I feel like I KNOW these people now…weird.
Jag är så imponerad! Inte ett enda kort så som de brukar tas!
#1540′s my favourite, definitely. Brilliant.
Great shots! They flow together very well and tell a story. What kind of plugin did you use to add the grain? Looks very film-like

Wow, vilka bilder! Fantastiska.
I love the “dress” photos!

Freakin’ fantastic work, as always! Diggin’ the b&w shots.
Jonas, these are just fantastic.
I particularly like they way that these photos are grainy- really add to its authenticity and creates a somewhat nostalgic mood.
Excellent work mate, love it!
SERIOUSLY???? This is ridiculously amazing work, jonas!!! The one I shall title “random lipstick in the limo” blew my freakin’ mind!!! i wanna be like you when I grow up.

Its such a beautiful way to show a wedding, beautiful clean picture, nothing weird or over done…just beautiful!
Just fantastic!! Love your style.
just discovered your work… and it’s blowing me away.
Great shots. Really distinctive, in a field that becomes more indistinctive every day. I especially like the top, in car shot, and the bride with the trees.
Magnifique.

Now I know why you picked Wedding photography. ;)
“Garry Winogrand is famous for having exposed three rolls of Kodak TRI-X black and white film on the streets of New York City every day for his entire adult life. That’s 100 pictures a day, 36,500 a year, a million every 30 years. Winogrand died in 1984 leaving more than 2500 rolls of film exposed but undeveloped, 6500 rolls developed but not proofed, and 3000 rolls proofed but not examined (a total of a third of a million unedited exposures).
This is the kind of dedication that you need to bring to a street photography project if you hope to achieve greatness.”
Wow Jonas.. i love this photo.. !! you have gorgeous work.. ill be a regular..
thanks for your comment on my blog.. sorry i don’t write a lot, i must’ve handed the good writing story telling onto my daughter.. haha..

Awesome work! I love the focusing on this, was it done in camera?
Jon
Jon: Indeed it was. 45mm tilt shift lens.
this may quite possibly be my most favorite t/s lens photo ever.
see this is a killer version of tilting that thing down. you beat me there for sure

fiona carson - i live at bald hills (bracken ridge side) and you don’t know how many times i’ve been *meaning* to get up at sunrise to take a photo on the mudflats at sandgate. i always put it off, however. this may just have inspired me enough to get up tomorrow morning. maybe.
Latu - Wow…how dream is that scene?! A week ago I arrived on your website from an evening of serendepidous googling. I instantly fell in love with your images (started with the Sweden wedding shoot) and after a gander I had to RSS ya! Absolutely beautiful work… :-)
Jay - Honestly, dearest Mr. Photographer, you should sell prints.
