Freebie Friday: Jonathan Burton Photography

006

Jonathan Burton Photography was started in 1992. Jonathan’s goal was to elevate his skills in photography and, in the process, create beautiful works of art.  By combining elegant, relaxed portraiture with spontaneous photojournalism, Jonathan truly captures “The Art of Life.”007

He is the areas only photographer who has earned the Master of Photography degree from the Professional Photographers of America. He has won numerous awards for his exclusive custom made storybooks, landscape, and fine art portraits. At Jonathan Burton Photography they work closely with clients, capturing their individual personality and unique style, whether it’s a bride on her intimate wedding day, or a child who has begun to discover the magnificence of the world surrounding him. It’s about all the little details which they use to tell the story of your life….

011When my former college roommate (pictured at the left with her boys – and girl, not quite visible yet!) got married in 1998, she chose Jonathan to capture the whole experience: from stunning bridal portraits to elegant wedding portraits, to whimsical vignettes and candid captures.  Being in the bridal party, I was so impressed with everything.  She has since had four children, and can you guess who has captured their unique personalities as they’ve grown?  Jonathan is a photographer who will take time to work with you and your children to capture just the right moment!

Jonathan is planning a fantastic charity event, to benefit the Blue Ridge Parkway Foundation, called Portraits on the Parkway.

For Portraits on the Parkway Jonathan Burton Photography will offer a portrait pack010age (for school-age children),  set at the historic Moses Cone Mansion for $75 total (plus tax)!

  • (1) 8×10
  • (2) 5×7
  • (8) wallets

A portion of the proceeds will go to the Blue Ridge Parkway Foundation, seeking to enhance the Parkway experience and to help preserve its scenic quality.

    The little girl in front of what looks like a wood-sided barn. It’s not just cute or pretty; you’ve caught her soul in that one!

    Please enter me in the contest. I loved so many of the Wedding shots that it’s hard to narrow it down to one…they are all so beautiful. Jonathan did our wedding in 1997 and we were absolutely ecstatic w/ our beautiful wedding pictures! We would be so excited to have him shoot our family!

    Absolutely stunning photos-hard to choose just one. Red headed girl walking in the grass is one of my favorites, along with some of the closeups of brides-especially the one taken at waist level with her bouquet.

    My favorite photo would have to be the two winter trees in the Creation gallery. I love the starkness of the trees against the winter sky. I have a favorite in the Wedding gallery, as well, and it is the back of the wedding dress from slightly above….beautiful! I wish I had had photos like these from my wedding, but sadly, I did not. Please enter me in the contest! Thank you!! I look forward to having my boys photographed for the Portraits on the Parkway on May 20th.

  66. my favorite photo is the tiny little baby in the man’s hands. Such a simple picture but it shows just how tiny the baby is and set on the black background gives it such a contrast. It looks like the same child was photographed in a couple different poses as they got older. The photography is beautiful.
