Nathan + Jessica Johnston (yeah we know-Jessica started the biz in her name 5 years ago-Nathan joined 2 years ago-and we just can't change a good thing!)
We LOVE our jobs. But you have probably read that on every photographer bio you have read thus far. Sorry! We do!
Nathan studied architecture and Jessica studied graphic design before switching to a photography major. These backgrounds strongly influence who they are as shooters.
Heavily influenced by the cinema, Jessica started in weddings trying to emulate the glorious cinematography in some of her favorite movies. Cinematic weddings + Lifestyle photography for the modern minded are our favorite tag lines. We adore photographic families + kids in a natural manner. Creating images that will become more priceless as time goes on is always our number one goal at any shoot. We love bringing our knowledge of lighting + composition into our wedding coverage for every couple.
We could elaborate, but we won't. Just view our massive press page and let that brag for us.
we look forward to talking to you!

“I can't tell you how many times I've thought to myself how wonderful and amazing my pictures are! We had many wedding this summer and I got to see a lot of bride's photos. AND I LOVE MINE! HA! I'm sure every bride says this, but (and not that I ever needed it) seeing others and then mine has re-affirmed over and over again how perfect everything turned out. I am so thrilled with everything!!! :)”
Whitney & Mark

"I've looked through these pictures at least five times now and every time I am blown away by the beauty. You captured our day perfectly and I am so so thrilled with the pictures. Thank you both so much for being such beautiful artists and giving Mark and I the most amazing way to remember our day. Much Love to you both.”
Allison & Steve
Chicago, IL
"Steve and I both repeatedly commented on how grateful we were to have found someone as talented as you are to photograph our wedding. From our engagement pictures all the way through the wedding ceremony to our first dance, you caught special moments, expressions, emotions, and framed them in creative ways with beautiful light. The interesting framing of your pictures adds to their effect--never seeming trendy, tacky, or stiff and posed. We were very moved by your work from the first time we saw your website and met you in person. We can't thank you enough for the works of art you have created for us."
Karessa & Mike

"The photos on your web page are fabulous-as expected. We are still raving about our wedding pictures-as well as my whole family. I hope you are doing well. We can not thank you enough for preserving our greatest day in beauty and elegance.”
Kele & Marc

"I just watched the DVD with my mom. You are so talented, I don't know what to say! I started to cry and I'm sure Marc will too when he views it next week. I know it's something we'll watch over and over again. Just when I think I know what my favorite pictures are, there are so many more I forgot about! Your incredible, timeless work makes us feel closer to each other and to all of them. And you can put that down in your "raves" category because we are some of your biggest fans!”

“We were both really pleased with the photos that you produced -- we've had many comments on how beautiful and well composed they were. Not to mention, your impressive turnaround on putting the photos up on your website, desgining the album etc. I’d be happy to serve as a reference if you need. Thanks again and take care”
Liz & Gordon

“I don't have words for how beautiful the photographs are. You are so talented. I couldn't stop crying. I didn't expect that reaction at all! They look like pictures I've seen before and thought, "I would give anything to have pictures like that." And now I do! I'm still processing that we are really this lucky. Thank you!”

“We got back from our honeymoon and couldn't wait to see the images you posted. We were not disappointed. What a moment you captured with that veil. We can't wait to see the rest. Your eye for color, texture and contrast is incredible. We love your blog and will enjoy checking out more of your work in weeks to come. Several of our guests who saw our engagement photos can't wait for you to post your children's site. Hope you're having a great week. Thanks for everything!”
