  • Jonathan Durling

    “There is little more gratifying to me than using light to create images that will amaze my friends, family and clients; pieces of art they'll love forever. Telling stories, reviving memories, bringing joy—that is what I want my images to do. As a newlywed, I can say that there is nothing more amazing than to cuddle up with my spouse and let beautiful images take us back to the most awesome day of our lives.”

    Jonathan is an international wedding and portrait photographer with shooting experience in over 20 countries. He and his wife live in Michigan and commonly photograph weddings in Detroit, Ann Arbor, Brazil, and India creating vibrant and emotion filled images of couples celebrating love.

    Jonathan’s interest in photography began in his childhood, with the influence of his Aunt Helen and developed under the mentorship of National Geographic's talented Anthony Boccaccio.

I love the wheat bouquet! It looks really cool. :) Nice fall decor too with the fruit on the cake.

I loved it to! The bride was so creative and allot of the reception decorations were DIY!
