These mountains – and the people I met there – did something to me. Jeorgea and Aaron took me in and treated me like an equal, fed me and gave me shelter. My heart felt at home with them, their friends and families and when i finally had to leave I left part of me behind. This is the story of those days. The story of the mountains. The story of Jeorgea and Aaron.

Your ability to keep raising it, in all the time that I’ve known you….still continues to amaze me xxx

Excellent imagery. Love the location, wow!
When the officiant is hidden in that single “you may kiss the bride” moment and it seems like are the only ones there… so, SO amazing. These are absolutely breathtaking! And I couldn’t help but wish this was actually Blue Valentine without the blues + The Notebook without all the cheese. Thank you for sharing this wonderful selection from the day.

Gorgeous wedding! Felt all the emotion as I scrolled down. Lovely!
Amazing, just amazing
I want to get married again, or at least renew our vows. just so I can have you take our pictures and tell our story… I felt like I was there. I feel connected to these people… you are truly gifted for this work… and that is why you are my favorite.
Me encantó! Como siempre me transportan… Simplemente geniales!
Anybody can take a photograph. I think a lot of people take really good photographs. This is something else. In this day and age where everybody is a photographer this is a breath of fresh air. The photographer is in every photograph – It’s like I can see what you see rather than looking at the same old Facebook wedding photographs that are everywhere.
This really does transcend most wedding photograph. It transcends genre. Beautiful beautiful work Jonas.
Ladies and gents, he has done it again! Another promising 2014! Good job, mate!
Beautiful, all the photos, the place, the decor, her dress, everything!
I love the Plumas Eureka area. It does do something to you. I proposed to my wife Anna here. What a beautiful story captured!
Bellissimo!
IN – FUCKING – CREDIBLE!!!
So beautiful as always Jonas! I love the inclusion of all of the landscape shots!
Hands down! You’re the best photographer. I love the way you see moments. I wanna be like you someday
