Jonathan Costello
Hello! Meet Jonathan. He is a San Francisco based photographer with 20+ years of experience photographing weddings, elopements, engagements, corporate and private events, professional headshots, editorial and lifestyle portraits. Wedding photography remains his true passion and couples photography is his bread and butter. He loves capturing the special moments in people's lives and he approaches each moment and couple individually. Everyone has a different story and he truly wants to know yours. Sharing emotion through his work drives his passion for photography. As an added bonus, he gets to meet great new people.
With an eclectic style, Jonathan tells the story of your event through a combination of photojournalism and candids, as well as quick, painless, and classy posed photos. He aims to document an honest representation, all while having fun in the celebration and allowing photo inspiration to spring from the excitement, bliss, and spontaneity of the environment. He is unobtrusive and his clients often are surprised that their most precious memories have been captured…they didn’t realize he was there at the time! Working with Jonathan is comfortable for even the most camera-shy, and the final product of crisp, beautifully composed photos is, of course, the best part.
When not behind the camera, Jonathan spends his free time traveling, adventure motorcycle riding, camping, hiking, and exploring the craft beer movement. Getting into nature is another way he seeks to tell broader stories through photography. California's geographical diversity and natural surroundings truly spoil and inspire him to be a better photographer and human. He encourages each of you to get out there, prioritize love and joy, and join the adventure.
