There’s too much to say about this wedding. About Rachel and Jeff. About…everything. How they contacted me. How I knew I had to shoot their wedding. No matter what. I’m having dinner at a bar at LAX with drunk travelers around me while I’m trying to pick a frame from the other day. And it’s more or less impossible. One frame feels inadequate, but sometimes less is more.

Rachel - Dearest Jonas, Jeff and I saw this and cried for a long time. I think one of the most healing things in life is seeing yourself through someone else’s eyes, when they see you with love and compassion. It is clear that you see people as whole beings. You see the depth and complexity of each of us, you bring it inside yourself and then you turn it towards us again. This image says an equal amount about you as it does us. You are a beautiful soul Jonas, thank you.

shipra - in this case, one just about says it all. This is simply magnificent.
Kellee Walsh - I’m lost for words. Wow!
Rachel - About the bird … It was not long before Jonas took this shot that I told him the story of my grandfather. Before he died when I was five he told me that he would come back to me as a seagull. This made perfect sense to me as I come from a family whose hearts belong to the sea. When Jonas showed me this image I began to cry and he hugged me. There is no doubt about his talent and ability to visualize a shot like this. He gave us no more direction other than “Go over there and do what you have been doing.” Yet it is his open heart and his connection to the people, the moments that let him capture something as incredible as this.
