San Luis Obispo Wedding Photographer, Bluephoto bio picture

  • Hi, I'm Jonathan Roberts and I started Bluephoto 6 years ago. I've shot over 250 weddings and have loved every minute of it *(almost every minute....the naked reception guy freaked me out...and there was the crazy dog that bit Michael, the groom...)!

    And a little about me:

    I am living my dream. Not too many people can say that. I have the cutest wife ever. Michelle never stops smiling and she is simply a joy to wake up to each day. I am incredibly thankful for our happy little boy who spends way more time giggling than crying, a wife who is the love of my life and a job I look forward to each day. Marriage for me has been a dream come true and I am thrilled to be a part of each couple's wedding day as they make the commitment to be together for the rest of their lives.

    And to be a little less sappy - I also love wine, cooking, cyclingnews.com, figuring out near impossible lighting setups, single speed mountain bikes, chips and salsa, brie with crackers and caramelized onions, the perfect margarita with just a touch of salt, and knowing when I click the shutter that I captured a perfect moment.

    Shoot me an email or give me a call we'll figure out a time to grab a cup of coffee.

Erika and Mike – Wedding

Dana Powers Barn wedding site is truly unique. The Dana Powers House is surrounded by lush gardens and the Victorian home serves as a gorgeous backdrop for a summertime garden wedding. Just up the hill, is Dana Powers Barn….the perfect wedding reception location. The Dana Powers Barn sits between rows of sweet smelling orange trees and fields of hay. Erika and Mike’s wedding last week was an absolute blast! I love it when wedding parties have fun with the group shots and don’t mind doing things like climbing up on super tall haystacks! Fun! Erika and Mike’s July wedding was graced with cool breezes and perfect summer weather. As the sun set in the west, we headed out to take some evening shots. The evening light was orange and beautiful. On our way back to the reception, the moon began to rise, hovering just over the barn where dancing and celebration went all night long.

Be sure to check out the wedding day video montage I created while I was photographing Erika and Mikes wedding day (bottom of post).

Monica and Alex – Wedding

Monica and Alex had their Saddle Peak Lodge wedding last Saturday in Calabasas, California. I knew when we met about six months ago that I wanted to photograph Monica and Alex’s wedding. Especially after their wonderful engagement session (HERE and HERE), I was really looking forward to their wedding.

We started off the morning at the Four Seasons hotel in Westlake Village where they got ready for their wedding day. As I approached the couple’s room on the warm morning, I noticed the Four Seasons hotel wedding staff setting up for another wedding later that day. It was 8am and I wasn’t yet awake but, the long and silent grand hallways gave me a sense of peace and anticipation for the day to come. Walking into their suite, the mood was exactly the same as I anticipated: warm, excited and filled with a knowing of what they were about to do. What I had not expected was the compassion and obvious love Alex and Monica have for each other and for the people that surrounded them. I felt so at home and was instantly inspired by what I saw and what I was feeling.

I hope the pictures tell the story of their intimate Saddle Peak Lodge wedding in Calabasis, California.

Also, be sure to check out the little wedding video I shot while I was doing the photography as a surprise for Monica the next day – they didn’t know I was making it. Alex told me that it made Monica cry…..I’m hoping he meant in a good way:).
