Jonathan Moore Photography

Description

My work as a photographer began back in 2008 as a sports photography intern at Getty Images. As a freelancer I covered baseball, football, basketball, rowing, tennis and motorsport.

My experience at Getty sharpened my eye for composition, light and timing. The technical challenges were amazing, but as time passed, the nature of the work became impersonal and systematic. Another touchdown, another home run, another victory lane… I was just one of a gang of photographers trying to capture the same moment. I felt like my life’s work was becoming a commodity. I growingly became frustrated and disillusioned with my professional journey.

Something had to change.

Then it hit me. How can I be truly passionate about my work when I don’t have any personal connection whatsoever with the people that I’m covering? As a sports photographer, I was always at arms length from my subjects – leaving me without the ability to truly relate to what they were feeling.

At that moment I knew I wanted to work one-on-one with my subjects. There is something so gratifying about capturing two people madly in love, handing them the images and then hearing how their experience brought them even closer in their relationship. This is the joy that wedding photography brings me and it is why I have chosen to dedicate my life to serving you, my amazing couples.

Thank you so much for looking.
