Jonathan Young Weddings

Jonathan is the best there is. Hands down. He is completely delightful to work with and makes everyone feel comfortable. His style is exquisite...did not miss a single shot and has captured the moments beautifully. I look forward to working with him in the future for other family events! Cannot say enough GREAT things about him. A true professional----his photos speak for themselves....a cut above the rest!

I cannot recommend Jonathan Young more highly. He was absolutely wonderful during the entire process. My husband and I felt so comfortable with him and feel lucky to have had such a kind, professional and talented wedding photographer.

Jonathan Young really listened to everything that we wanted and certainly delivered. Our pictures came out beautiful and his mild demeanor made him a pleasure to work with on our big day. We would highly recommend his services.

We just got the photos back from Jonathan and I could not stop looking through them! They were simply beautiful - he was able to capture beautiful fleeting moments, create wonderful portraits, and capture the overall energy of the day. He handled the group portraits with ease and yet he was organized enough to get them all done without leaving any out. The rest of the evening, he was everywhere all the time. Even our guests mentioned how accessible he was!

As a photo enthusiast, picking a photographer was the HARDEST part of planning the wedding for me. It was important to me not to have the traditional wedding photos, but to have a more documentary, real, and un-staged feel. When I came across his work, I knew that I had found the photographer that I wanted to shoot our wedding. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for an awesome...

Jonathan has an amazing, observational eye and is a breeze to work with- I highly recommend him!

Jonathan Young has been an absolute pleasure to work with from the day that we met him. He is extremely accommodating and flexible from finding time for meetings and scheduling an engagement shoot to arriving early on the day of our wedding to make sure he knows the lay of the land. Beyond his pleasant attitude and extremely calm demeanor, Jonathan is very talented and we could not be happier with both our engagement photos and wedding day pictures. He was able to capture the true essence of the day through candid photography and group shots that have emotion. I have already received several compliments on the photos and how everyone can feel the energy from our wedding day through the photos. I highly recommend Jonathan to capture any special moment or occasion that you may have.

Jonathan was amazing to work with throughout the entire processes of planning the wedding and especially on our wedding day. He was so responsive to all of my questions and was super professional and on top of things. My wedding took place over the weekend of Hurricane Irene last summer and Jonathan and his wife Elisabeth made the trip into the city despite suspended public transportation and crazy weather, and a last minute venue change! They were such troopers and so positive throughout the whole day. They really made our wedding special and I can't recommend Jonathan enough!!!

We couldn't have been more pleased to have Jonathan as our wedding photographer. He seamlessly was able to capture all of the special moments of our big day. He was an absolute joy to work with. Our guests are still raving about our photos. We are already recommending him to our friends who are getting married!

We were thrilled with Jonathan's photos from our wedding - he and Elisabeth captured shots, angles, moments, expressions - basically everything - at just the perfect time. We've received compliment and compliment on our photos and they will be a wonderful memory to look back upon year after year. Jonathan was really easy to work with - from the moment we started talking him through the wedding and the editing. We also received our photos back much sooner than expected - which was a nice treat! I highly recommend using Jonathan Young Weddings as your wedding photographer - we loved his photojournalism style, professionalism, and ability to capture every special moment!

Any bride would be lucky to have Jonathan Young as her wedding photographer. The quality of his work is unbelievable and we loved his photojournalist style. His prices are fair, and he was flexible in creating the perfect package of what we were looking for. We also had the pleasure of working with his wife Elizabeth who pitched in as his assistant on our big day, and they were a fantastic team. Jonathan captured the spirit of our day, and his photos tell a clear story. Working with him was truly a pleasure and I am forever grateful for the fabulous pictures that we will treasure forever.

Hiring Jonathan Young to document our wedding was the best decision we made. From our first meeting to the very end of our wedding day, he was top-notch. He is a phenomenal photographer, but also a great person. Many of our guests, went out of their way to say how kind and wonderful he was. He captured the day with great detail, when I first saw the photos, I can remember exactly what I was thinking and the waterworks begin!!!! He was responsive to every e-mail I sent, and addressed all of our concerns in great detail. My husband is a "manly man" who does not enjoy taking photos, but once he met with Jonathan and did our engagement photos, he could not raving about how great he is. In the vast world of wedding photography, he is a gem.

I could go on and on just describing how awesome he is, just hire him, you will not regret it.

Jonathan is a rare find in that he has all the subtlety, creativity and responsiveness of a well-honed photojournalist. He is also one of the most pleasant and organized people with whom I have ever worked. He intuitively captures the beauty and individuality of his subjects. I was perfectly confident of his ability and responsiveness throughout the entire wedding planning process and the wedding itself.

When planning our wedding we knew that we wanted to have photographs that captured our personalities, and the feeling of the day. Jonathan has done just that in our photographs; when I look the photographs of our wedding, getting ready, the reception I can remember just how wonderful the day was, and everyone looks happy and natural. His familiarity with the location of our wedding bennefitted us - he was able to take us to great places for our portraits, but also capture the location beautifully. Jonathan is very flexible, personable and responsive and I would highly recommend him.

Working with Jonathan was an absolutely amazing experience. He is one of the most gifted an amazing photographers I've met. Beyond that, however, is just his demeanor and approach. So many of our guests remarked about how professional he was. He managed to capture the most important moments of our day without ever feeling like he was being intrusive or taking our focus away from just enjoying the day. He worked quickly with the utmost professionalism. Additionally, I was blown away by how he never missed a moment. If there was something important happening, even things I wasn't aware of, he was always on the spot to capture it.

This is by far the most important day of my life and leading up to it, we continually remarked about how excited we were that Jonathan was our photographer. We knew we could trust the quality of what we were going to get. He skillfully and subtly managed to capture the essence of our guests and our experience. I absolutely recommend Jonathan without hesitation. We were so fortunate to have such a talented professional, skilled photographer, and genuinely nice person working with us.

Jonathan was an absolutely wonderful wedding photographer from start with taking engagement photos in the Botanical Gardens in Brooklyn, New York to finish on our big day in Esopus, New York. Jonathan was very professional and listened to all of our ideas/views and provided informative and suptle changes as needed. Jonathan was able to go with the planned details and also accommodated spir of the moment photos. What we wanted on our big day was somebody who could blend in and take pictures of the actual event and not staged. Jonathan was very sociable and liked by everybody in our wedding party, family and friends. We enjoyed receiving the pictures from the wedding and picking out photos for our albums with our family. My parents in particular were very emotional looking through the pictures. Jonathan was a excellent pick for a wedding photographer and everything we could have asked for. We highly recommend him to future brides and grooms.

Jonathan and Kelly who assisted were amazing photographers for our wedding. Jonathan is has a very calm but enthusiastic (hard combination!) presence - which made him blend in with the event, while at the same time capturing the really special moments. He has an amazing eye and a nicely modern aesthetic that makes the photo results meaningful and wonderful to look at. As a person, he is super nice, patient (with all those last-minute things that come up), very professional - you can tell he has a lot of experience. It made the photo-taking process (which I'm very shy about) very pleasant. Kelly led the photobooth option we selected - honestly, the photobooth was something we unexpectedly splurged for, and it was worth every penny. It really captured the guests in a fun and casual way full of their own personalities. All of my family and friends went out of their way to tell me how they thought Jonathan and Kelly were so great too. I can't stress enough how happy of a bride I was in selecting Jonathan to be there for the big day. Thanks Jonathan + Kelly!!!

Jonathan Young was amazing and captured our day perfectly. He was a pleasure to have by my side when I was getting ready and really helpful in answering all of my questions leading up to the wedding. He cares a lot about his work and delivering the best to you. The Banquet Manager where we had our reception remarked on how he works with different photographers for weddings all the time and that Jonathan was one of the best he's come in contact with. I highly recommend Jonathan to any bride and groom!

I was really happy with his service.
He studied the venue in advance so he worked very efficiently. I hired him only for four hours but he covered everything i wanted.
Very professional and reliable. He is really kind, sensitive and nice as a person as well.
A wedding is so much joy but can be stressful. He worked very well with all the family members.
I highly recommend him!

Jonathan delivered 100%. He is a talented photographer, consummate professional and exactly the person you want by your side capturing moments small and large. He provided beautiful candid photographs- working hard on difficult interior, evening shots and the end products (small booklets for our family, a proof box, originals on DVD and a final wedding album) are treasured memorabilia from a night we look back on with great memories and beautiful photographs to match.

Jonathan is a wonderful guy and his work speaks for itself. Photojournalistic Awesomeness!

Where to begin. First of all, Jonathan was a dream to work with from the moment we met him in a coffee shop in New York. His humility, confidence, talent and calm demeanor won us over immediately. Together, these traits make for such a special value to a bride and groom. We were taken with his vibrant portfolio and photojournalistic style. His professional, kind attitude and technical ability were next level. On the "day of," he was perfect. Now happily married, we're going to have to find new ways to incorporate Jonathan into our lives (Jonathan, will you do babies one day??) - and are confident to recommend him to anyone. Book him with confidence and never look back!

Jonathan Young did an incredible job as the photographer for our wedding. He has a terrific eye and great sensitivity both of which were evident in the fantastic photographs he took. I highly recommend Jonathan, and his co-photographer, Elizabeth Millay. They were a pleasure to work with and are very talented.

We received SO many compliments about our photographers. Their professionalism, eagerness to get the shots we wanted, and the fact that they covered the entire event (from getting ready early in the day all the way through the final dance) and were involved in everything and yet non-invasive to the ceremony and reception was nothing short of amazing. The shots they got were incredible! Everyone we've shown them to has marvelled at the posed shots, the artistic shots as well as the candid party shots...the clarity and the moments captured reflect the skill, experience, and enjoyment the photographers had for their job. I could not possibly give them enough praise or recommend them highly enough! Sincerely, Jeremy Manjorin

Jonathan Young is great to work with. My photos are always getting comments on how the day was captured. He is very professional, personable and genuine. We hired him to do a family shoot after the wedding, because we are so please and impressed with his talent and service.

I found Love Captures after searching various wedding sites and was impressed by the images on his site. I liked the candid shots, eye for artistic lines, natural lighting, and art of capturing vibrant colors. His demeanor is laid back and friendly, but he is also adamant about getting certain key shots without being pushy. I felt like I was posing and having fun in front of a friend, which made our shots look more natural. He shot all the details, as well as the people, that made the wedding beautiful so that they are forever remembered.

Jonathan took the most incredible pictures of our wedding! He really captured every bit of our celebration down to the tiniest detail. It was amazing to be able to go back through the photos and see all the beautiful moments we shared from a different angle, and even discover some new ones. The slide show he posted of our event on his website took my breath away!

Jonathan Young Weddings is absolutely amazing. Jonathan provided absolutely exceptional service and beautiful photos. We were truly impressed with his professionalism, responsiveness and end product. The photos he shot for us captured the day in a way I never thought possible. His photos are the memories that my husband and I will cherish for the rest of our lives. I highly recommend him for any event!
