Jonathan is one of the most talented photographers I have ever seen. He recently photographed our wedding in the keys, and to say the pictures are epic would be an understatement. He was full of unique ideas to help make our photos absolutely gorgeous! He was so fun throughout the weekend, and made the photo process so enjoyable. All of family and friends cannot stop talking about how incredible his work is. I could not recommend him more! He is simply the best! read more

I was very lucky and got a hand full (just a hand full) of beautiful pictures. I was sold in the first meeting and loved his portfolio....big mistake. Think twice before using him. He takes forever to respond, laughs at your questions and has the most unpleasant attitude. He took forever to get back to me and lost half my images. The other half of the images I did get were grainy and unfocused (not on purpose)...I am still hearing it from my family on the poor quality of the pictures and what a waste it was. I paid for two photographers and two days before he insisted I did not (not what you want to hear). Thank God I made him write it in the contract (so I thought)...that then served as a reminder for him. Big waste of money...all the images were horrible, lacked elegance, talent and were just plain sloppy. So sad :( I was just happy to get my pictures that did come out good and go!!! Girls really think twice, I know things happen but it's not good when your wedding day means so much and you put so much into it. Oh and 2 years later I have yet to receive my album!!! read more

Jonathan Scott Photography Survey 1. Why did you choose Jonathan Scott Photography to shoot your wedding? My husband and I reside in Nashville. All of our "vendor" selection was by word of mouth or website presentation. I would have to say the initial most captivating thing about Jonathan was his website. I loved his photojournalistic approach. I loved how he captured emotion, love, and "the moment" rather than just a basic beautiful photograph in ALL of his pictures...even the simple photos such as wedding bands. Secondly, when we chatted over the phone, I loved how direct, confidant, and compassionate he was about our wedding, without having ever met Philip and I. Thirdly, mostly every bride I knew in Boca Raton during the time I was getting married that was also engaged, used JSPStudio for their wedding day. That really said to me how impeccable his reputation was in the South Florida area. 2. Did you consider other photographers other than Jonathan Scott? If so, how many? Was Jonathan Scott your first choice? I considered one other photographer prior to learning of Jonathan Scott. So, I would have to say that Jonathan was my first and only choice. Even without meeting him, I knew in my heart that he would be the perfect fit for Philip and I. He put me at ease over the phone and via email. Also, once again, his work exceeds the other websites that are out there right now. There are very good photographers in the South Florida region, however, Jonathan's work is exceptional..and you can see that. 3. Would you refer Jonathan Scott Photography to your friends or family? Why or why not? ABSOLUTELY. I already have. So many brides who were former brides have emailed me and could not believe the photographs. 1. His photography is outstanding. Many things I listed above: beautiful, moment capturing, emotional. He is productive, direct, he can manage large crowds and produce beautiful work. We have around 2000 pictures to choose from because his work ethic and compassion. He knows the photos to take. I am a very type A, organized person who likes to be involved and in control. On my wedding day, I did nothing. I had so much trust in Jonathan. I did not say anything to him other than thank you for being here on the most special day of my life. I had no hand in the amazing photographs he took for us. 4. On a scale from 1 to 10, how would you rate your satisfaction with Jonathan Scott in the following categories? This scale is too small..I would probably rate everything an 11 ! a. Quality of Product -10 b. Responsiveness-10 c. Professionalism-10 d. Value-10 e. Flexibility-10 5. What are you suggestions for improving Jonathan Scott Photography? I do not have any suggestions at this time. 6. Compared to our competition where does Jonathan Scott Photography rank in terms of quality, price, customer service and turnaround time? Quality: I feel is probably one of the top photographers in the South Florida region. There is no doubt about that. Go look on other wedding websites. Then, go sit with him and have a personal conversation in his office-you will see what I mean. Price: VERY REASONABLE. I think brides need to understand that photography is not cheap. The photographers time and production is very critical. When I made a budget, I was willing to do whatever for photography. I could not believe how reasonable Jonathan was with me. We formulated a plan and he was so understanding and kind. Turnaround time: We were married on February 18, 2012 and had a sneak preview on February 21.2012 and all of our pictures the following week...if that tells you anthing !!! 7. What does the competition have that you wish JSP offered? I have nothing negative to say. One thing that I would also like to offer as an accolade to Jonathan-he works extremely well with other vendors..and that means a lot to me. We had a videographer, florist, etc...he works so well with others. That is very important to brides because more than likely your day will include more than just photography. So, when you are searching for a great photographer..you need to keep that in mind as well. If I could ever be of any assistance or guidance to you as you are selecting your photographer, and are considering Jonathan..please do not hesitate to contact me. I one hundred percent recommend him. read more

Please, please read! I wanted to share this post because I hear JSP is now in NYC, and for those brides-to-be out here, you are very lucky! I was the lucky girl! Actually, both my husband and I were for choosing JSP Studio. I remember trying to decide which is the most important part of a wedding? Well, the answer is the photographer! My goal was that in 20 years, I wanted to smile while looking through my wedding album and say, " What a beautiful day it was!" :) I wanted to have photos that would capture the true essence of what my husband and I were feeling that day, our connection, and most importantly... our sense of humor! JSP did just this! We were married in October of 2012, and to this day, I still find myself looking through my photos and feeling so thankful to JSP. Jonathan was referred to my by my wedding planner, which was an absolute blessing. We decided on doing both an engagement shoot (which I strongly encourage) and wedding album. What caught my attention to Jonathan was his passion, sense of humor and dedication for fashion journalistic photography. He described in his biography (which is on his website) that he took a risk in changing careers to do something that he LOVES! This is what made me realize, this is someone I have to work with. I am so thankful I did. He will do whatever it takes to take the perfect shot.One particular example of his dedication to us, was him offering to return to meet with my husband and I after a completed engagement session. He drove through an hour of rush hour traffic just to take a few more shots, because he knew I was interested in sunset pictures. This is what I mean by dedication and passion! I can't thank him enough for being that special person in our lives, it will forever be a day beautifully remembered because of Jonathan. I hope this helps and wish you Happy Wedding Bliss!!! And remember, if you want to have fun, feel beautiful and feel like the most stunning couple out there then choose JSP! xoxo read more

It's been a year since I last posted this review, and I STILL haven't received my album! He keeps saying I will have it within a couple of weeks and that was months ago. He does not return phone calls (my mother even called) and is not prompt with email, either. I would strongly advise again using his services. read more

This guy is the worst business man EVER. I got married on April 5, 2008 and I STILL HAVE NOT RECEIVED MY ALBUMS. He told me it was completed 45 days ago and would let me know when it has shipped. Do you really think a company takes over 45 days to ship a finished product? Nope. To this day, he still has not told me it has shipped, and it's like pulling teeth to get him to respond to an email. This guy is a freaking joke. Yeah, he's talented and has some nice pictures. And the day of the wedding was great with him and his assistant. But the CONTRACT IS A JOKE. He doesn't follow it AT ALL. He will not follow up with you or contact you for WEEKS or MONTHS at a time. His time lines are ridiculous. We paid $4100 up front (HUGE mistake), which he also claimed was a discount for paying up front. This price included him and his assistant for 10 hours, an engagement photo session, 1 large engagement photo printout, the digital picts of the wedding day, and 3 albums (one big coffee table one and 2 smaller ones). I was referred to him from a friend of mine who also used him for their wedding. They had the SAME EXPERIENCE!! I can't believe this guy is still in business. It's absolutely pathetic. It would make a WORLD of difference if he had better or even half-way decent communication with his clients post event. But this is where Jonathan Scott fails big time. I would never ever recommend this guy to anyone. I'm sure there are plenty of other photo-journalistic photographers out there with a similar creative approach and MUCH better business skills than this guy. BUYER BEWARE! read more

This guys is the WORST!!!!! He has pissed off one of my best friends who used him for her wedding in 2008. It's been 2 years and 4 months and she has not recieved her wedding albums? WTF!!!!!! She is so over your albums that she says it's not even going to be special any more when she acutally recieves them.....who knows when that will ever be? What a disappointment. Shaking my fist at you. INTEGRITY IS LACKING ON ALL LEVELS read more

IGNORE THE BAD REVIEWS! THEY ARE ALL FROM ONE WEDDING AND SHOULD NOT EFFECT YOUR DECISION! Jonathan's work ethic and talent deserves 5 stars and he gets them from us!!! Jonathan is so passionate and talented and we were beyond thrilled with our photos and our experience with him. All you have to do is go to literally ANY OTHER ratings site and see how beloved he is among his clients -- these old reviews from a single wedding are such a shame because his work is phenomenal, unique, and timeless. Everyone who sees our photos admires them and we have Jonathan to thank! read more

One of the best decisions we made was to take the Mandarin Oriental's recommendation and use Jonathan Scott for our wedding photos. Professional, talented and great with our guests, he provided us with the most wonderful memories of my daughters special day. He was well worth the price to document a once in a lifetime event! read more

I got married on 8/18/07 picked my pics and got them back to him by the beginning of 2008, We didn't get our proofs for the album changes for a full year, I didn't get my originals on cd for a year after that, and i was promised the originals from the engagement session, still haven't gotten those. And now February 2011 and still calling and getting excuses or ill of retaining an attorney to get this resolved. read more

I got married in August 2010. It is now July 2011 and I have still not received my album. Same thing... just excuses and excuses from him. I have no idea what he is doing and why my album hasn't come yet. According to him, "the binder is in Italy- it takes a while". 11 MONTHS!!!! GIVE ME A BREAK!!! DO NOT BOOK THIS PHOTOGRAPHER- IT WILL BE A BIG MISTAKE!! Also, on the day of my wedding he was supposed to have an assistant to take pictures of the groom and groomsmen getting married. He forgot and gave me the lame excuse of "oh, she's sick." LIAR!!!! read more

Ha! A response to my review 10 months later. Indicative of his responses during our entire wedding experience I have names of other unhappy clients. Not slander..Truth The maid of honor that was asked to serve as his assistant was my daughter. I witnessed it first hand. Not slander..truth. I was there Rudeness to guests at 2 weddings.... I was there and luckily we could all laugh about his egomania. I am willing to provide Yelp with names and affidavits to substantiate any of my allegations. I welcome him to sue me for slander or libel for I have no desire to voluntarily squander any more of my time. I just hope he looks inside and tries to be who he promotes himself. If this makes him think twice about acting this way again I am satisfied. read more

TERRIBLE! STAY AWAY! Jonathan Scott had such a bad attitude at my wedding. So unprofessional. Moreover, the pictures were average at best. He did nothing creative and did not do things I asked him to do. WORST DECISION I EVER MADE!!! read more

Consider this: when you choose a wedding photographer you are more or less choosing an extra member of your wedding party -- someone who is with you for the entire event, from the moment you begin to get ready until the very end of your celebration. There is NO ONE in the world I would want to spend this much time with me and my family and friends on such a particular and special day. Jonathan and his team were incredible - they kept everything light and fun and were not afraid to go the extra mile to get a great shot. Every time my (now) husband and I looked around, we would spot another photographer far off in the bushes or hiding above us getting that extra photo. He also makes an effort to get to know his clients to make the experience even more individualized and personal. His photographs are artful and stunning, not at all cheesy or formulaic (as many wedding photos can be). Jonathan is amazingly talented and really has an eye for those "magic moments" - whether romantic, moving, or simply hilarious. I am OBSESSED with my wedding photos and cherish them. I am so thrilled to have found Jonathan and I now consider him a dear friend. I cannot recommend anyone more highly -- do not pass up the opportunity to have him document your wedding !!!! read more

If I could redo any part of my wedding, it would be hiring a different photographer. Jonathon was rude, arrogant, and obnoxious to me, my husband, my parents, my family, and our other vendors. At first I thought he was funny and charming and he actually took beautiful engagement pictures. However, as time went on, there were a million red flags. We should have just eaten our costs and let go of him after the engagement shoot. I wish I could say that the pictures were so beautiful that it was worth is bad behavior, but that is not the case. The majority of his pictures are blurry and not very focused. My husband and I have about 5 good pictures together from our ENTIRE wedding night. Jonathon made pretentious and insulting comments about our wedding venue, videographer, and planner. My wedding planner said that she had never worked with someone so horrible in her life. Above all, he's not cheap. I wish I had read yelp reviews and spoken to other people before hiring him. I have spoken to 2 other people who used him since we got married and they all reported the same behavior. It is such a shame that such a special day was clouded with horrific attitude and subpar wedding pics. Brides, please do yourself a favor and find a photographer who makes you feel special and treats you and your family and friends right. read more

How do I begin to describe what a terrible experience I had with Jonathan Scott Photography? I'll start at the end: Two (yes two!) years after my wedding, after taking Jonathan Scott to small claims court twice, I got my album. The quality of the prints was unprofessional. The quality of the photos was inconsistent. The photos were grainy and appeared to have been printed on his desktop printer at home. I cringe when I think of all the money we paid him...$2800.00!!! I would have rather had my friends take pictures on disposable cameras and printed them out at Costco for 100 bucks! WHAT A WASTE!!!! And I spent another $400.00 taking him to court. Luckily my lawyer was a good friend and didn't charge me for his time in court. I don't enjoy looking at the album. It makes me feel sad and taken advantage of... On the upside, my 2 year old daughter loves looking at it. I am hoping she will take a Sharpie to it and then I'll have an excuse to throw it out without my mother-in-law getting mad. I am writing this review in hopes of sparing another unfortunate couple the anguish of dealing with Jonathan Scott. I do not wish him ill. In fact, he is an unbelievably nice guy. His staff was very professional on the wedding day. The shots they took were great. No complaints there. Good luck on your journey to find a photographer for your wedding or special occasion. My advice to you is this: Designate one of your friends as the "photographer". Give her your camera and let her take tons of pictures for you. Skip the expensive photographer...you'll thank me later. read more

I had seen Jonathan's work from other weddings, including family members, and I couldn't help but dream that one day, he would be my wedding photographer. Luckily that came true! Jonathan worked closely with my mother and I to create a wedding photography package that we couldn't refuse. My husband and I first got to work with Jonathan for our engagement photos and we were ecstatic with the results. The wedding was even better-- after posting just a handful of photos the next day, I couldn't believe how many people were asking me who my wedding photographer was. Jonathan's skill is apparent in every shot-- he captures raw emotion and true "moments," not staged, stiff poses. Plus, he's fun to hang out with and would make any bride and groom feel completely at ease and natural!! read more

I chose Jonathan Scott Photography to shoot our wedding after looking through the portfolios of about 40 local photographers, both independent photographers as well as photographers contracted through national services. Jonathan Scott's portfolio was outstanding. His shots were vibrant, full of color, life, and humanity. He beautifully captured the emotion of his previous clients and his "action" shots at the dance party were unparalleled. In fact, most other photographers won't even show you those photos in their portfolio, as they are much more complicated than staged photos of the couple and their family, or the wedding service. This made JSP my absolute first choice, and certainly, for the price as well--other photographers of his caliber were easily charging twice as much. Jonathan worked with us and our schedule and came up with a great package for us, only including what we wanted and didn't make us pay for an extra services that we weren't interested in. He was more than timely, he flew through (and did a great job on) all the shots that we had specifically requested, and was furthermore really helpful on the day-of--he even gave me and my bridesmaid a ride to the wedding site! I would recommend his services in a second. Turn-around on our shots was quick and they came out truly amazing. I have already recommended him to friends and he recently shot the wedding of one of my bridesmaids, who also thought he did a great job. Hire this guy, and his really wonderful assistant! They will be there for every minute of your event and capture every moment that matters to you and your guests. read more

I really cannot say enough good things about Jonathan Scott and JSP Photography Studio. He and is team are simply incredible. From the moment I met Jonathan, I knew he would be the one that would capture all the feelings and experiences that surrounded our Wedding. To start, Jonathan shot our engagement photos on two (2) separate occasions to make sure we got both the night and day time photos we were looking for. Jonathan's photos are not the typical Wedding photos and poses that give that forced feel to them. Instead, he strives at capturing the essence of the couple and their unique love and personality. No shot taken by Jonathan is the same and no shot he captures is like anything you have ever seen before. I just received 40 of the photos that Jonathan took of our Wedding and people cannot stop emailing and texting me about how absolutely incredible and captivating the photos are. He truly captured the love, happiness and energy that surrounded our Wedding, as if by looking at the photos I am reliving the moments all over again. I cannot thank Jonathan and his team enough. To top it off, Jonathan and his team are that group that will stick by your side the entire night (our party went into the wee late hours) and will do anything just to capture the whole experience. Even better, he does not charge by the hour which shows how truly dedicated he is. Lastly, not only am I lucky that Jonathan was our photographer, he has now become a friend. He truly is an incredible person both inside and out and I am so honored he was a part of my team. I would recommend Jonathan and JSP Studio to anyone - - please do not miss out on the experience of letting this team capture the most precious moments in your life - - as I plan to use him for years and years to come at both big and small moments (he is that amazing). Thank you again Jonathan Scott and JSP!! read more

I found Jonathan to be a very talented, professional man. He shot two different shoots including the wedding and I felt I had his full attention and dedication. The photographs are unparalelled to anything else out there. He's a true artist and it was a pleasure and honor to work with him. I plan on working with him again in the future and recommend his services without hesitation. read more

We were fortunate enough to find Jonathan Scott and JSP Studios for our engagement and wedding photos. He and his team were recommended through a friend who experienced his services as a bridesmaid in another wedding. We researched his photos and fell in love with the editorial style and unique visual scope of his work -- his photographs are STUNNING. We met before our engagement shoot over dinner to get to know each other better and customize our experience. We were able to connect and know that we were going to achieve the look we wanted out of our images and brainstorm about unique venues. Perez Art Museum Miami was the chosen destination for our engagement pictures and we were the first couple to have our photos shot at the location. Jonathan and his team took their time finding the right set ups/moments and we ultimately loved the final product. He helped us through the timeline and adding on videography for our wedding and his team were prompt and professional on our big day. JSP Studios captured our once in a lifetime moments and we couldn't be happier with the experience. read more

Unlike many "wedding photographers", Jon has his own artistic and unique way of capturing special moments. After seeing his other work and discussing our ideas with him, hiring Jon was the easiest decision we made. He hiked two miles into the woods to shoot us at our engagement location and drove 3.5 hours across the state to shoot our wedding. Jon exudes a confidence that rubs off on his subjects; we certainly aren't models but he made us feel like we were doing a great job...and the pictures look outstanding. The photos and the video are the only thing left once it's all said and done so we appreciated how Jon took charge and made sure we got all the photos we wanted throughout our wedding day. We consider ourselves lucky to have had Jon shoot for us! read more

Jonathan is amazingly talented! So happy that we used him.

After flirting with the idea of doing a boudoir shoot as an anniversary gift for my husband, I was fortunate enough to get referred to Jonathan Scott by a friend whose photos I'd admired. Luckily, Jonathan was available and willing to work with me. Even with my short notice and time constraints, he took the time to speak with me over the phone multiple times to get to know me and delve into the essence of what special qualities should be illustrated through the photographs. You can tell from the first time you speak with Jonathan that he is truly an artist with a remarkable capacity for bringing a vision to life in his work. I came to him with such a vague idea for the shoot...I was all over the place with ideas. Luckily, he has the perfect eye for knowing what will work, and he gave me impeccable guidance for outfits, makeup, location, lighting, and poses. It was fun and empowering, and he really gave me the confidence I needed. After seeing just a few of the final images, I already know he hit it out of the park. He absolutely captured the perfect balance of classic, elegance, sophistication, romance, and sexy that I was hoping to achieve. His work has a timeless quality, and I know these images will be special to us for a very long time. read more

The second we got engaged, the first thing I wanted to do was find a unique photographer unlike any other that would give us traditional wedding photos but also photos with flair that truly captured who we are as a couple. We got all of that and more when we found Jonathan Scott! He is an artist and his camera is his paintbrush. We just got married on Saturday (2/20/16) so I will update this when we get our album, but we loved our experience with Jonathan and his team! He is such a professional but also so personal. He truly captured every detail of our big day from beginning to end. Our mothers loved him and so did all of our guests. If you are thinking about hiring Jonathan, I highly recommend doing so! We have received countless compliments on the pictures we have posted from people saying that they have never seen such a beautiful and unique wedding photo before--which is just what we wanted! I love Jonathan and I am so glad we hired him; working with him has been such a blessing! read more

Where to begin! Working with (& befriending) Jonathan has been an AMAZING experience. While currently working in the wedding industry alongside Jonathan for the last few years, I am exposed to so many different photographers. Since day 1 of meeting Jonathan, to witnessing his professionalism with our mutual clients, to working with his expertise during the actual events, to FINALLY becoming a bride myself.....experiencing how he composes the work he does, is absolutely mind blowing. Jonathan - Your creativity and ability to make my husband and I feel so comfortable thru each moment of shooting is incomparable.... these pictures say it all.....and you captured the day flawlessly. You offer such confidence to a couple while shooting which is absolutely necessary when your not used to it. Your editorial style of shooting is ideal for a wedding as you want to enjoy the true moments of the day..not go from pose to pose. You allowed us to be us - and guided us in such a way you were able to capture the personality and love we share. From the engagement shoot, to my boudoir session, to the wedding day - the pictures are everything more than we could have both even dreamed of. The only thing from your wedding day you have left other than your own memory is your pictures...so when it comes to photography do not skimp on getting anything but the best - Jonathan..you truly are the best. They are the most gorgeous pictures we've ever seen. We love each one more than the next...Words cannot thank you enough! read more

All I can say is do not ever hire this photographer. I didn't realize my wife and her friend had already reviewed, but it's worth pouring on for what he put us through. We hired him for our wedding, got some supposed discounted rate in a bartering deal, but like the other reviewer I believe we paid up front (I wasn't involved). He made us travel out of our way to take engagement photos, which I was not happy about. Who was getting paid here? The wedding day went fine, however, I am not very impressed with the quality of the photos (a family friend took a shot of us walking down the aisle that trumped any photo JSP took) and the photo album looks like a PowerPoint template. But the biggest problem by far is the fact that it took TWO AND A HALF YEARS to get our photo albums from this clown. Like the other reviewer, detailed email inquiries were met with, "It's coming soon!" blow-off replies. That is literally all he would say, completely ignoring any questions or details. Then excuses blaming the album supplier took over. 2.5 years later we get a very underwhelming photo album. Don't hire this guy and if he's the last photog on the planet DO NOT pay him up front. read more

I had the opportunity to work with Jonathan the weekend of my wedding for a series of events ranging from shots of my husband and me on the beach, to our rehearsal dinner, to our wedding day. Jonathan and his team were incredible throughout each step of the process. What struck me the most when I looked back on the weekend was his ability to be a chameleon through the different sessions. On the beach when taking romantic pictures of us he encouraged us to open up and act like ourselves and show our true colors and truly helped us to relax. At the rehearsal dinner he made sure to get photos of everyone who was there gently pulling us into the frames of each image curating the perfect shots effortlessly almost as a behind the scenes low key director. And, as any bride knows, the wedding day is a sort of blur for the couple and their immediate family. It was here that Jonathan and his team impressed me the most as they were grounded and in charge making sure the entire day ran according to plan which included wrangling our 40 some family members for the necessary portrait shots (no easy task!) and also catching every candid darling moment from tears down the aisle, to laughs at the toasts and our first dance. The range in his images - from traditional to photojournalistic allowed everyone in my family from grandma to mom to the happy couple achieve exactly what we were all looking for. And Jonathan and his team did it with a professional yet laid back smile! read more

Jonathan is Amazing!!! He has such great energy and his style is one of a kind, and what you call perfection. Throughout my whole wedding portrait hour, I was extremely tense and couldn't let go. Jonathan kept giving me pep talks, and he managed to get amazing photos despite it all. After I saw my photos for the first time, I was truly at a lost for words. I have gotten nothing but compliments on photos that have been posted on his blog as well as facebook, just a week after the wedding. I cant wait to see all the amazing images which should be posted any day now. It was such a great feeling to be able to see the pictures so close to the wedding. My husband and I are really looking forward to working with him again, for the trash the dress photo shoot. I can only imagine how fabulous those they will turn out. I would recommend any bride thinking of using him, not to waste her time visiting any other photographers, and book Jonathan you wont regret it! read more
