Timeless storytelling for the fath driven romantics

-Illinois Wedding Photojournalism-

Captured Not Created

I’m more than just a wedding photographer—I’m here to walk alongside you, document the sacred, and remind you that your wedding is not just about aesthetics but the love, commitment, and story God is writing through you. I believe that the best photographs aren’t posed or staged; they’re felt. They’re the quiet prayers before the ceremony, the tear-filled vows, the unfiltered joy on the dance floor, and the whispered “we did it” moments.

Hey, I’m Jonathan

As a wedding photographer based in Bloomington, Illinois, I am passionate about capturing the raw emotions of your special day. With a dedicated team behind me, we will ensure that every moment is preserved, tending to your every need. Don't settle for anything less than extraordinary - let us turn your wedding into a unique work of art!

About me

You should remember your wedding, not the poses you did!

“Your work is hanging up on walls all over the world now”

“Dearest Jonathan, we could never thank you enough for being with us on our special day and capturing the uniqueness of this day. You’ve been present but invisible! It was the absolute right mix, and we loved having you around as a person! Everyone adored your pictures, and I can proudly tell you that your work is hanging up on walls all over the world now. Sending lots of love from Germany!”

Faith-driven business

As a Christian-centered wedding photographer, I believe that every love story is a blessing and a testament to God’s grace. I pray for each couple I work with, lifting your marriage and the journey ahead. If you need anything along the way, please reach out—I’m here to support you and know that you are covered in prayer, not only on your wedding day but from the moment we connect.

Presence Without Interference

I aim to be fully present on your wedding day—yet seamlessly in the background. I work quietly, capturing moments as they happen, so you can fully enjoy your day while knowing your memories are being preserved authentically and unobtrusively.

Authenticity Above All

Every wedding couple is unique, and every wedding day has its own rhythm. I prioritize capturing your genuine moments, letting each image reflect your day's honest, unfiltered emotions. I believe in documenting love as it naturally unfolds, without forced poses or interruptions.
