JIP did my son's cake smash photo shoot for his 1 year Birthday. Words can't even explain how amazing the pictures turned out! My mom was hesitant to book with them because the shoot was only 30 minutes long...well, I'm here to tell you, if your photographer can't get the most beautiful pictures of your little angel face having his way with a mound of blue/pink food-colored sugar in 30 minutes, you have gone to the wrong place. Samantha, your costumer services skills blew me away. You really made me feel so comfortable before we even got to meet. Jonathan,, you are so talented and gifted! (Party) hats off to this duo! Keep up the good work. read more

I booked a half hour with Jonathan Ivy to take some new headshots. He did an excellent job. Probably the best headshots I've ever had taken. To top it off Jonathan was efficient, kind, and incredibly professional. It had been years since I had headshots done and I was nervous. He put me at ease and the photos were better than I could have hoped for. read more

Jonathan took my bridals on my family's ranch, engagement, our wedding and my sisters senior pictures. They are perfect! He and Samantha do such a great job! At first my husband and I were very awkward while taking our engagement pictures but he knows how to make you comfortable. He was amazing at the wedding. He breezed through my list of pictures that I wanted taken. We really enjoyed working with JIP! We couldn't ask for more amazing pictures! I recommend JIP to anyone who asks! read more

Jonathan Ivy Photography - Our Little Family - Event Photography Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Jonathan's work is simply breathtaking! He has such a talent for capturing beautiful, authentic scenes with gorgeous color and clarity. Our family was large and he was able to capture everyone--including a baby and fussy preschooler--with smiles and attention to the camera! He was on-time, professional, and very friendly. Would absolutely LOVE to have him shoot our photos again someday. Highly recommend! read more

Jonathan & Samantha are a great team! We contacted them via their website regarding pricing and information about an engagement shoot. We heard back from them within 24 hours and had a shoot setup within a week. We wanted to take photos in time to send them out as holiday cards. We chose to have our shoot down at the Pearl Brewery and river walk which turned out awesome! Jonathan got there ahead of time to scope out the various ideal locations for the shots. We also included our pup in the shoot- we recommend bringing a trusted friend to handle your dog to complete the shoot! Jonathan & Samantha got our final photos back to us in time to use for holiday cards. Everything went perfect. I would highly recommend! read more

Energetic, professional, kind, personable. These are just some of the words that come to mind when I think of Jonathan Ivy Photography. As a husband and wife photography duo, Jonathan and Samantha really know how to capture some wonderful moments. They did my engagement, bridal and wedding photos and the photo booth at my reception. Because I had such an amazing experience with them, I had them do my little girl's 6-month photos over a year later. If you want a fun and modern photo session, call Jonathan and Samantha. They'll take care of ya. read more

Jonathan was amazing to work with! My fiancé and I reached out to him to get our engagement photos taken and he made the process a lot of fun and we felt super comfortable (and I'm not a fan of getting my picture taken). We absolutely love how the photos turned out. They felt elegant and unique rather than cookie cutter. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a photographer for any occasion! read more

We had a great experience working with Jonathan Ivy for our photoshoot of the Elevate Dental team. He was very professional, but also made all of us feel at ease during the photoshoot. The photos we received were beautiful and we are thrilled with the result. Highly recommend! read more

The professionalism, quality and communication I experienced with Jonathan Ivy Photography are beyond compare. I've never had a photographer capture so many amazing raw images that I absolutely loved. I did not need a single photo edited for color, smoothing, etc. and that saved on overall cost. I believe the price I paid for all the raw images was so worth it! I was in communication with Samantha prior to the event to smooth out to plan and figure out what I wanted, and following my event to arrange a wedding album. My questions were promptly answered and the process was so quick and easy. read more

If you are looking for a professional, creative, and talented photographer, Jonathan Ivy Photography should be your #1 choice. Jonathan and Samantha deliver an unparalleled experience, making the photo process fun and enjoyable rather than daunting. I have worked with Samantha and John on three separate occasions, each dealing with different subject matter (product stills, sport/action photography, and landscape photography), and each time I am blown away by the quality and style of his work. Highly recommended! Thank you J & S! read more

Jonathan Ivy Photography is AMAZING. They are professional and talented. Jonathan did Family photo of us in January and not only was he very flexible on time but we had scheduled our photos on a snow day with an infant. He was great about rescheduling, and so patient with our two year old. He caught candid moments and was able to capture my two year olds spirit in a photo. Thanks again Jonathan Ivy Photography. read more

Johnathan and Samantha are a great team to work with. They took our engagement photos in October at the Houston Water Wall, and by Rice University, under the beautiful oak trees. We worried all day about the weather because it had been raining, but they kept in touch with us the whole time up until the shoot, when the heavy rain amazingly stopped. So it all worked out great! Johnathan was able to still shoot, and he eased all of our worries. Our photos came out amazing! We absolutely love them! Johnathan is very talented, and we are so happy we were able to have him take our engagement photos. Samantha has also been very helpful throughout the whole process. She is very responsive, and guided us from the beginning to the end. read more

Jonathan did my Mr&Mrs shoot, and hands down the best photographer in Houston. Him and Sam are so easy to work with. Scheduling was easy, any questions were answered. My pictures were a dream! Look at his website go to his blog to see his recent work. (Shout out to myself...we are the Bell tower shoot) : )! I was so anxious to see my pictures and when I saw them I was amazed. I couldn't wait to get home and show my husband. For Christmas we showed our whole family on a big screen and everyone loved them. If you need jaw dropping pictures....You found the guy! Don't waste your time looking around. read more

Jonathan is amazing to work with. I am 100% pleased with the photos from my wedding. You don't even realize he is around during the wedding, and then you see all the great shots he ends up getting and are blown away. He and his wife are the perfect team. Samantha runs the business side and always quickly responds to emails and questions. She is super helpful with any wedding questions or advice you may have. My entire wedding party had a great time working with them. I would highly recommend them to anyone! read more

Jonathan shot my wedding 3yrs ago and I could not be happier. He is very talented and love his job. The best attribute I would say is that he is always smiling and working hard. He never misses a thing and always captures the best photos. read more

Jonathan came recommended by a friend in the Dallas area who is a photographer. He did my son's Senior pictures and they turned out fantastic! I was looking for a more laid back, every day type of look instead of an inside studio look. He shot the pictures right behind his studio/office area & I first looked at the area & thought 'what??'. He has a great eye & capture the beauty of the setting (which I didn't think was that pretty at first). My son was also pleased with the session (we choose a short, one shirt change session). Highly recommend Jonathan Ivy! read more

This couple is a fantastic duo! Jonathan took our engagement pictures, and the pictures are amazing! Jonathan definitely captured some great shots, and there were so many pretty options to choose from. Samantha was the brains of the operation - she set us up for our date, location, etc. She even worked to reschedule us a couple of times just to ensure that our pictures came out perfect! Excellent customer service skills, a fun photo shoot, fabulous pictures....I couldn't ask for more! read more

Jonathan Ivy Nailed it!! We could not be happier with the whole experience. We had a vision in mind and they ran with it; the photos are phenomenal. They capture 'us' to a T. read more

So, it's been awhile since I've been on Yelp, but I really wanted to write a review for Jonathan. Jonathan is funny and a true professional. He really tries to make sure you're at ease when you take your photos and let your personality shine, because let's face it- how often do you take these type of photos... I invite you to imagine the nerves haha... the fiancee was nervous that he'd have to awkwardly pose or do something strange but we ended up having a ton of fun and the photos came out wonderfully! He told us that it would take two weeks due to it being peak season (two weeks is great speed for editing a ton of photos, IMO), and though we told him we were in no hurry (wedding is more than a year a way) he remained true to his word. We had a whirlwind of a photo session and I bet almost every location that we picked had something that was unexpected/obstacles (one side of the Water Wall was off, crazy Houston traffic lead us to lose a lot of daylight, our rooftop nighttime skyline view at a Downtown garage was closed to visitors, and more), but Jonathan worked with us to ensure a great session, and he even found us an additional location to shoot to take place of the one location we couldn't get to because he wanted us to be happy with our photos. He went above and beyond for us! I definitely recommend him if you're looking for a photographer to shoot your engagement photos and though I haven't gotten married yet the wedding photos I have seen him display on his blog are absolutely gorgeous. Samantha is also very helpful and professional and was able to answer all of our questions prior to the shoot. read more

For something so special as a wedding you should expect the best and THE BEST they are. I knew hiring Jonathan Ivy Photography was a good decision. I've followed their work for years always admiring the beautiful images they produce. But, what totally exceeded my expectations was just how perfect EVERYTHING turned out. From engagement pictures to bridal portraits to the actual day of the event we could not have been more pleased or delighted. The ease of scheduling and willingness to work with you to ensure the most perfect images was more than we could have ever asked for. Jonathan and Samantha are adorable and make you feel as if you've known them forever. Please stop looking and hire them. They are just too good not to. read more
