Greatest Wedding and stunning work

When two are knotted as one, both families and friends share in oneness of their marital union; may this marriage be a bridge to usher happiness, peace and prosperity.

WAHO incroyable les photos en pleine savane et cette tempète qui donne un contraste saisissant !! Super mariage :D

Most inspiring and beautiful photography ever. So ashamed to be a photographer when you are around.

Stunning work, so many inspired shots. Well done.

SENZA PAROLE!! SPLENDIDE!!

This is beautiful. Awesome images. The real beauty of the Mara is evident. Lovely couple too :)

Saw you at Way Up North last week… and heard your talk for the 2nd time… the images from this wedding, and the stories that you told still inspire me SO much. Keep up the amazing work Jonas.

Absolutely beautiful

I love this! Amazing!

What is the name of the song?

perfect work!!!!!!!!!!

Wow – that is all!

This is amazing. Love this Jonas!

Wow, absolutely breathtaking!

Absolutely stunning! What an amazing wedding!!!

Beautiful pics ..

This must be the most beautiful wedding ever! Absolutely stunning!

You know,.. I wonder what song the lady sang….

I bet when you were taking these amazing shots from this amazing wedding you almost cried from excitement.. Best wedding photo story I’ve seen so far..

Beautiful work as always Jonas.

I have been to Masai country in Tanzania and I too didn’t expect to hear that land call to me like it did. Your photos of a gorgeous wedding are beautiful and make me homesick for Africa.

Incredible!!!

Fantastic imagery Jonas, just stunning.

So stunning Jonas. Thanks for the adventure!

I knew you would rock this wedding. What a beautiful wedding Jonas. x

I look at a lot of pictures…I mean..a LOT…nothing has ever stood out as lovely as this set. Amazing work, hats off.

Wow! Yes!!! Kenya is beautiful!

Amazing, Awesome and stunning to say the least

Did you actually use Massai men as props for your wedding? Dear God, can you be any more white?

Everything about this is perfect! Where is her dress from?!

Seriously one of the most breathtaking weddings I’ve ever seen…..how incredible it must be to photograph such occasions on film. Your work is inspiring and poetic. Thank you for sharing it!

Wow…., this wedding just blew my mind!

Speechless. Beyond beautiful.

Simply remarkable Jonas…in every sense of the word.

Wow, Jonas. Truly Breathtaking. How fortunate you are to be the window to all these experiences that most average people would never experience or even know occurred. May your career continue to flourish and let us be taken on the journey. x Megan.

This is the idea what i’ve been looking for , creating some artistic & elegantly by nature wedding photographs. Thanks for inspiring me and other wedding photographers in the world.
Cheers !

That was a beautiful wedding in plains of Masai Mara. we appreciate wedding in the bush and promoting our cultural heritage.thank you for respect and honoring Masai Mara and Masai community at large. Masai mara manyatta camp

exotic dreamy

Of all the places I have traveled to, the Masai Mara is the only one I miss every single day. You did this justice beyond words. Beautiful work, Jonas.

I am always quite amazed when I see things like this, as a matter of fact disgusted! As beautiful as the pictures are YET again it looks like black people are just used as props in the wedding pictures having the masi people jump around to entertain their guests. Considering these people don’t even have a person of colour in their entire guest list leaves me to wonder what they think of any body outside of their or if they even associate with anyone outside of their race when not feeding their saviour complex. Scratch that their pictures say it ALL!

Were any of her Masai ‘friends’ invited to the wedding reception?

I can smell the rain – perhaps the most beautiful wedding I have ever seen captured – truly beautiful.

Från Värmland till Afrika, lika imponerad hela vägen

Awesome!!!

Incredible and inspiring work brother, wow.

With all due respect, Mr. Peterson, a white person doesn’t have a right to speak on behalf of black people and other people of color as to whether the photos in this particular wedding set are racist. As you perhaps have realized, many people of color do interpret the photographs as condescending, as reminders of what should be a bygone colonial era (but which apparently is not), regardless of whatever connection the bride has to the “local” community.” If she had such a strong connection, why is the entire wedding guest list, according to the photos you’ve taken, white? That is, apart from the intricately garbed Kenyan men. Where are her close black Kenyan friends or that of the groom’s?

Let me address a question that has come up here on social media. The couple have been accused of using the Maasai warriors as props and questions their connection with the Mara. The truth is that Nina has a very strong local connection, working as a wildlife photographer on a book project about a pride of lions in the immediate area. Having been there many times, she’s made ties with the local people as well. The jewellry Nina is wearing and the staff/cain Sebastian has, was gifted to them by the Maasai in the Mara. As an end to the ceremony, the warriors danced and celebrated the union. When I shot a wedding in New Orleans recently they had a “second line” where local musicians walk the guests around the block to a marching band. When I shot in Mexico a Mariachi Band let all the guests from the ceremony to the reception. In Bali some local kids perform temple dances at almost every wedding. No matter if the couple have local connections or not. They’re paid to perform a service the same way the celebrant, opera singer or photo booth operator is. In this case the bride actually DID have a strong local connection, but I still think the comment about using locals as props is super ignorant, sorry.

WOW stunning and awesome sir Jonas <3

Jonas, this is amazing. I hope I can be you when I grow up!

Incredible atmosphere. The smell of grass, storms and rain. Very sincerely.
Thank you.

Such cinematic coverage Jonas! Would love to know if you took any longer lenses with you for this trip?

The most beautiful wedding I’ve ever scene. My love for Africa is second to none. This would be my fantasy wedding. Smashing.

This was beautiful. One of the most beautiful weddings I’ve seen on your site, and you always shoot the most wonderful weddings.

All the animals, the wonderful dark colors in the sky. It was all just breathtaking.

Amazing as always Jonas! Congrats!

Wow, It’s like a dream, a classical hollywood film. Congratulations.

Dude, this is absolute sublime, your vision inspire’s me Jonas – truly magical as is your gift!!

Magical Jonas. Magical.

Holy WOW! Ever image could win a prize. What a glorious wedding!

Completely mental my friend. Deeply moving, beautiful pictures. The storm clouds seemed to magically hover in perfect position and yes, it was in Africa with lions, giraffes and elephants, but most importantly you captured in such a quite, delicate and beautiful way that only you know how. Bravo.

Once again you have challenged all of us that consider ourselves wedding photographers to work with all of our hearts, and not just produce snapshots but tell a story. This and your previous post of the Bali wedding belong in the front page of your site. Stunning work Jonas. Thank you.
Jorge

You are a visionary. Sublime collection of images Jonas

I had read a previous comment somewhere – I think on FB probably, and someone had said that they cried while looking through these photos and I thought, “he always does good work, but cry? hmmmmm”

I’m now sitting here with tears running down my face. This is just simply the most stunning set of wedding photographs I’ve ever seen and I’m sure ever WILL.

Just GORGEOUSLY mindblowing. Tears and more tears.

Just when I think not one more image can be better than the last…bam. And my shoulders drop and I say “what the fuck” out loud. This is truly beautiful scenery, but your vision overwhelmed me. Well done to the couple on all of the beautiful details, so truly unique! Thank you for sharing.

easily your best……like whoa….crazy.

Nothing short of insane. Incredible work Jonas.

Absolutely incredible. Mindblown over and over again.

Wow. Just wow. Love it Jonas!!!

dude. so great.

Um… Yep… Incredible.

Just beautiful Jonas, truly stunning. What an amazing life-changing trip that must have been

Just WOW!

well its about f*ing time. Beautiful job amigo, beautiful.

Incredible. The music, the emotions, every single image.
Your work is sweet sweet perfection.

Have been waiting for this one! Jonas, it is truly breathtaking. You have captured the pure, raw beauty of the environment so well – places like that are often hard to convey properly in a photograph, but not here. You’ve told the story just perfectly.

Perfecto!!! Simplemente maravilloso, gran trabajo.

WOW. Alltså… WOW! :-)
Fantastiskt!!

Jag kan inte smälta bilderna. Herregud. Och sången. Vet att det är heavenly father men vem sjunger?

These pictures are so stunning!!

Kaboom. Crash. Bang. Golvad!

Wow Jonas. You should be INCREDIBLY proud of this one. Absolutely magnificent.

Bar = raised!

Absolutely stunning Jonas. Beautiful work.

Amazing is a small word to describe this wedding, the music is a perfect combination, deeply moved by this images! this one is your mark in the history of wedding photography!

Completely Stunning Work!

Jonas… This is so… Can´t find the words
L O V E – B E A U T Y – L I F E

I have loved this series and couldn’t wait for you to publish the blog. It was worth the wait! Its absolutely stunning. I’ve never been interested in going to Kenya until I saw your photos & words on this wedding and the safari you went on. I can’t imagine how the real thing would affect you if some beautifully captured moments can already make you feel so much.

Fantasticas fotos! Bravo!

There’s this rush of emotions flooding into my heart as I’m watching these images. Outstanding.

One of the best.

This is phenomenal Jonas. Was the sky really that moody?

I think i have never seen a so amazing wedding like that… Really. Unique, rare and real. Waw!!!!

Very cool.

Stunning in every way & right unusual

brought tears to my eyes and filled my heart. just breathtaking.

Speechless.

Nice work man!

Sin palabras! Maravilloso!!!

Possibly the most beautiful wedding I have ever seen!
