{wedding} Chris & Kim – Bowral, NSW

It was one of those days. And I sort of knew it would be when Chris contacted me. So I decided to bring along my good buddy Nirav Patel to add an extra level of awesomeness. This is what we came up with. If you want more details, this wedding was featured beautifully by Once Wed the other day – here and here.

Amy - Jonas, I literally hang out for each and every one of your posts. So much so that I’ve taken to telling friends your photographs are like ‘wedding porn’. Your images never cease to amaze me and this is no exception. The shot 4th from the bottom is why you really are the best photographer I’ve ever seen. So clever, so thoughtful, so unexpected but simple and emotionally driven. You couldn’t of caught a shot like that without really caring and loving what you were doing at that very moment. And that is what sets you apart from the rest. Well done. Until the next post…A

Warren - Without doubt the greatest set of wedding images I have ever seen. A good 14 hours graft here. The composition, colour and contrast is exceptional. A photographer at the top of his game and will probably get better. One of the best (photographers) of your country and up there with the best on the planet. I am trying to think of something that I don’t like about it but I can’t.

» Dress Envy - [...] The gown is by Pallas Couture, and that beaded bodice is just too gorgeous for words. I love how the bride paired her relatively modern gown with retro finger waves and a chic red lip to complement the theme and venue perfectly.  The pictures were taken by Jonas Peterson, and you can see tons more stunning images from the wedding on his blog!

Matt burgess - Simply amazing! My favs are definitely the long exposure with the flash at the end. That is how you did those inside dancing and party shots, right? haha

This set has inspired me. Although my style isn’t as “unsaturated” as yours, the creativity in these shots is what caught my eye. I’ll be bookmarking this site for inspiration before an engagement or wedding shoot!
