Atelier Pictures

We would absolutely recommend Atelier pictures! We did a lot of research in our quest for a photographer for our wedding, and we are so so thankful we chose these guys. Honestly, we couldn't be happier with how everything turned out. The pictures/video tuned out even better than we could of ever imagined! One of the most important things we were looking for, besides amazing photos, was someone that was very laid back and made us feel comfortable and relaxed... and that's exactly how they are. From the very first meeting, we knew we had found the right photographers. Something else that was very appealing to us, was that they don't charge by the hour, like so may other photographers do. On our wedding day, they were there for 12+ hours. Jonathan and Josh are both just really great guys who are very professional, talented, and truly have a gift for photography/videography.

I am so thrilled that my husband and I chose Atlier Pictures to photograph our wedding. We have the most incredible pictures and video to share with our families and it is a beautiful reminder of how perfect our day was. Most importantly, they made Sergio and I (and every one of our guests) feel comfortable. They went above and beyond what was asked of them, and for that reason we will recommended Atlier Pictures to all of our friends and family!

We cannot recommend Jonathan from Atelier Pictures enough. We found him through a friend and could not have asked for a better experience. From the first meeting, he was fantastic - easy to work with and very relaxed, yet professional. He also customized a package to fit our budget, which we really appreciated.

He flew to Kauai with us for our destination wedding and was happy to flex with our every need. Not only did he shoot our wedding (which was over 12 hours of photo time for him), but he was also there for our rehearsal dinner and the luau we took our wedding party to several days before the wedding, too! The pictures were stunning and gave us exactly what we were looking for; they not only told the story of our wedding, but the entire trip. Everytime we look at the photos, we remember the most amazing time of our life. We are currently working on choosing photos for our album and can't wait to see the final product. Again, if you choose Atelier Pictures, you won't regret it. Other than choosing to get married on the beautiful island of Kauai, it was the best choice we made!

Jonathan did an AMAZING job with our wedding photos. The photos that Jonathan showed us in his sample books and on line were on par with the quality of the photos that he took at our wedding...his work is as fantastic as you would expect it to be. We got our photos back quickly and they turned out beautifully, better than any other photographer that we've seen.

Jonathan worked with us to find out exactly what we were looking for and gave us a nice mix of creative, candids, and formal photos. He has an eye for photography that is truly a gift.

Professionally, Jonathan was incredibly personable and flexible, worked with our schedule and requests (and was very patient with us), and he blended into the background of the wedding but still managed to get every shot perfectly. We were so happy with Jonathan and would hire him again in a heartbeat. (You should hire him too!)

Jonathan was amazing. He is a true artist and was extremely professional and mature. He deftly worked behind the scenes to get amazing photos for our wedding.

Atelier Pictures provided above professional grade photography services to me and my wife for our wedding on June 27, 2009. Our photographer, Jonathan, took the most amazing pictures we could ever dream of having! Jonathan gave us unlimited flexibilty and was truely there to serve us on the one day that we will never ever forget. He laid out all options for us, provided samples, adjusted to our schedule, and had very competitive prices. When we recieved our picture options there were so many excellent ones that we had a hard time choosing from the hundreds of pictures. We also recieved a wedding album which was beyond incredible! We recommend Atelier Pictures with the highest respect, professionalism, quality, and friendly service! You will not be disappointed with your choice if you go with Atelier Pictures!

Jonathan was a professional from the start and became not only our photographer but a friend as well. He was flexible and got all of the shots we wanted on our wedding day and activities that surrounded it. When you look back on your wedding day your pictures are such a huge part and we are very satisfied with the results of ours. Not to mention we have not seen a photo album quite like the ones Jonathan offers. Definitely a centerpiece for years to come.

When attempting to decide on a photographer for our wedding, my husband and I were a bit overwhelmed. We were referred to Jonathan by our wedding planner, and I immediately fell in love with his work. Our wedding photos get countless compliments, and our wedding album is still sitting proudly on display. Jonathan is not only a creative genius, he takes the time to really get to know his clients, so that he can capture their special day. He, and his work, are incredible.

Jonathan did a photo shoot of my husband and I during our engagement and at our wedding. His relaxed attitude put both of us at ease and made it easy to forget that we were being photographed. For our wedding, Jonathan did a fantastic job of helping us figure out what we wanted and then made sure to capture every shot without being obtrusive or obvious. During our reception his photo slide-show of the pictures that he had already taken was a huge hit, such a fun way to relive what had just happened hours before. His photojournalistic style and his background as an artist really come together in his pictures and photo albums. Our wedding album is still a favorite for us to look at and to show to friends. I can not recommend him highly enough.

Jonathan Marrs took beautiful photos. I couldnt be happier with how they turned out.

The whole day he and his assistant were there capturing all the special moments. But, he was unobstrusive and I have barely any memories of him right there during the wedding/reception. He told us multiple times for us to let him know if we had anything specific we wanted pictures of... I trusted him completely and never had to say anything. I did not regret this.

He met my bridesmaids and I at our hair salon early in the day, followed us to our hotel to capture us getting ready, and spent the entire night taking shots. He had several different cameras going, including an infa-red which took some really amazing pictures.

Jonathan takes an artistic approach to all the shots he takes, and for me this was important. I did not want hundreds of posed group shots, family pictures, etc. Halfway through the evening, he had a laptop set up with a slideshow running of a few shots from earlier in the evening. Many people came up to us during the reception and told us how great the pictures looked and how they couldnt wait to see them all. He had business cards sitting out, with our names and unique URL posted on them for out guests to take home with them to see the rest of the pics. The very next day he had 30 pictures online.

Our online picture gallery was up sooner than he had said, and when it was I was so giddy to see there were almost 900 photos.

My wedding day was a whirlwind, but a fabulous day and awesome party! You've got enough to worry about, don't settle for a photographer you don't love...and find someone you trust. Jonathan was that guy for us. I promise you won't be dissapointed.

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful pictures!!! The things this photographer captured were amazing. I am so happy with our photographs and it has made our wedding memories so perfect! He did a wonderful job at getting all the photos I wanted throughout the day and I never felt stressed because everything I wanted was done without me even needing to think or talk about it. Great photographer!

Our wedding photos were AMAZING!!! Jonathan Michael takes great photos and put them together in a very impressive bound book. Anyone who sees it is totally impressed and always wants to know who took the photos. The book was done in a photo-storybook style and turned out great. My only tip is make sure you bring a list of all the people you want to have photos taken of and give it to someone who can be there, but not be in the photos to make sure no one is missed.
Bottom Line: Great Value and GREAT photos, and GREAT Book to remember our day!! We highly reccomend!!!

Atelier Pictures made our day so special. Our photographer, Jonathan was amazing. Not only were the pictures beautiful but the level of service was beyond compare. He was completely flexible, working with us to ensure that he was available for any before, during and after events that we needed. The pricing was extremely reasonable for the value we received and we didn't feel nickel and dimed like we did with many of the other photography quotes we received. To top it off, the wedding album we received was so beautiful and unique. I still get compliments on it from any one who sees it! I would recommend Jonathan and Atelier Pictures to any one who wanted a hassle free, beautifully memorialized wedding day!

When the daunting task of choosing a photographer for our wedding arrived, I was extremely overwhelmed and what my husband would claim as me having severe anxiety. I dreamed of having pictures that not only captured the timeless moments of our day, but was also very artistic and custom to our personalities .Atelier Pictures captured the most beautiful moments on our wedding day, were extremely flexible and responsive, and definitely gave us a bang for our buck! When we got our proofs back, I was amazed on the shots they got, seeing that I never saw the photographer(s) throughout the ceremony or reception. I HIGHLY recommend Atelier Pictures and look forward to using them in the near future!

Our wedding photographer, Jonathan Michael, was phenomenal! I am very glad to hear that he is expanding his career by coordinating with a partner to include wedding videography!!!

The quality of service that he provided was exceptional as he is very talented and artistic. In addition, he was very responsive and took our interests into mind and coordinated everything with such ease. He is a great photographer with great talent. We were very pleased to select him as our wedding photographer... So pleased that we have asked him to take pictures of our twins when he comes out to the Los Angeles area!!!!

Atelier Pictures made the wedding. Normally at weddings the photographer can be really annoying, to the point where they get in the way of the wedding. But this was not the case with Atelier Pictures at all. Jonathan was great. He took the time to take pictures before the wedding and after to make the entire event complete. Jonathan never got in the way and was ready for anything that we asked for. Jonathan also did our engagement shoot at Balboa park which kicked off the beautiful photos before our wedding. He worked with us with what we wanted for our wedding day, simply put: he captured the moments that I can now look back on and remember as a day full of love and great people (what every bride could ask for).

Jonathan and Josh are not only professional and high quality artists, but they have a unique eye for beauty and are warm, personable and accessible. We so appreciated their down-to-earth attitudes (especially since I've been in other weddings where the photographer is fake, overly solicitous and obnoxious). Really good people.

Atelier Pictures are an asset to the Northwest's vibrant event community. Always professional, their unerring eye and sense of fun infuse their images with light and energy.

We love Atelier so much, we've even featured them on our blog! Find the post here:...

Jonathan and Joshua of Atelier are an extremely talented duo, the passion they share for photography shines though in their work. They are always coming up with new fresh ideas and make every shoot fun! We look forward to working with them knowing they will creatively capture those special moments and details.

Jonathan and Josh have been so amazing! They have been more than happy to help with anything picture or video related and I know they will only do the same for customers of my venue. Thanks to Atelier Pictures!

I had the pleasure of working with Jonathan Michael on a wedding last summer that really blew me away. First, he has this great, easygoing energy that makes his clients feel at ease with the process. Second, he worked incredibly well with me in balancing his shots with my own needs as a videographer. And third, his artistry is stunning. I can't say enough good things about him. Check out his portfolio, hire him for your wedding - oh, and then hire me so we can work together again and again :) I highly recommend his services!
