    When our family decided we wanted a photo memory of our vacation time in Blowing Rock, we…read moreresearched thoroughly and chose the Burton photographers, Bonnie and Jonathan. An important factor for us was the way they understood the importance and power of light. We realized from our first conversation on through the entire process that we liked them as people and that we could trust their years of experience. They knew the best places to go and the best times to be there. The end result was perfect. All of the many pictures they took were so pleasing we knew that our choices would all be good. Our family ranged in age from 11 to 74 and every one of us agreed that Bonnie and Jonathan had made it so much fun for us. The two hours flew by and we all wished we could do it again the next day. Working with the Burtons has been ideal. Even after we were back home in Texas, they were very patient with the changes of size and framing we wanted. Today those finished pictures are wonderful reminders of a special time in our family life, and we are grateful that Bonnie and Jonathan preserved some beautiful moments for us to treasure. -- Carolyn and Jim M.

    My wife and I can't say enough good things about working with Bonnie and Jonathan Burton of Burton…read morePhotography. They were extremely professional but better yet, they were very personable and quickly become our impromptu wedding planning guides. My wife and I planned our wedding ourselves but bounced ideas off Bonnie and Jonathan. They have seen many weddings and had wonderful words of advice. The pictures that Bonnie and Jonathan took were amazing. I can't even put into words some of the images they captured. Please look at their image catalog for yourself. If you ask me, your search for a photographer should stop right here. I can't recommend them enough. After it was all said and done, my wife and I ended up with beautiful photographs that captured the most wonderful day of our lives with our family and friends. But we also ended up with two new friends in Bonnie and Jonathan. We love these guys and I'm sure you will love them as well.

    Josh and Shelley captured the most beautiful moments on our wedding day! I say moments rather than…read morephotos for this reason- Their talent for capturing natural moments between family, friends, bride and groom makes for the most excellent photographs to cherish, I noticed, more so after seeing the final photos that you can find someone who will snap a family picture if you tell everyone to look at the camera and smile, but it takes TRUE TALENT to capture the special moments as they are naturally happening. Shelley and Josh maximize on capturing the event as it is naturally occurring. They were also able to maximize time spent because their ability to tag team, and weaved through the event seamlessly without disturbing any guests or ceremonies. Also, they are very comfortable people to be around, which sounds silly but makes a world of difference on the most stressful day. The commitment and creativity I observed while they shoot the wedding was unbelievable. They have several camera's and lenses, which they often switched for certain photo's, they were always aware of the lighting and best places to photograph (and take excellent outdoor photo's). The value and quality we received is unbeatable, especially being able to access all the photos! After receiving the photo's and seeing my wedding through the eye's of Josh and Shelley, I can honestly say it was magical. And my wedding photo "like's" on Facebook are blowing up! Couldn't Thank them enough for the work they did!

    My husband and I couldn't believe how lucky we got to have Shelley photograph our adventure…read moreelopement in South Iceland! She was easy to communicate with and so personable in person. I pretty much instantly felt comfortable working with her, even though I never got to meet her in person until the actual elopement day. My husband doesn't comment on services very much, but he was so impressed with Shelley's creativity and fearlessness in getting the best shots. She would sometimes be laying on the ground and get completely soaked by the waterfalls, and she would have us stand so close to the edge of a cliff and so close to the waterfalls. My husband got to see a sneak peek of a few shots on her camera, and his mouth literally dropped at how beautiful the photos were. We completely trusted her opinion on the stops we made in Iceland not only because she has been to Iceland before, but also because she just has that creative vision to know what looks good (her website/blog says it all). Another bonus is that she scouts the wedding ceremony area for you beforehand and chose our ceremony site, which we are so grateful for. It was intimate (away from the crowds), peaceful, and beautiful. If you and your partner are looking for someone who loves candid photos, dynamic photos with a lot of movement, and epic landscape photos, Shelley is the best photographer for that. We can't recommend her enough!
