Testimonials

"When I think back to my wedding, one of the most important parts of it was Jimmy! We started off our journey together by having him shoot our engagement pictures in Balboa Park in San Diego. I was hoping for pictures that were the antithesis of "cheesy" or "staged" and he nailed it! The images looked very editorial and he was able to bring a side out of my then fiance and me that we didn't even know we had! Fast forward to our destination wedding in Cabo San Lucas, and Jimmy was there every step of the way. He went above and beyond the entire process, capturing moments from every possible part of our wedding day. He helped us all relax, have fun and get pictures that people are still talking about to this day. To me, the second most important thing about a wedding other than your spouse is finding the right person to document the day and the special moments. As a total control freak, Type-A person, I went through tons and tons of potential photographers, but upon talking to Jimmy, and seeing his work, I knew he was the perfect person for the job."

Maudlin Family

"My husband and I were planning our trip to Zion National Park and scouting for a photographer based in Utah and Jimmy from Gideon Photography was definitely our favorite. Jimmy is professional, kind, easy-going, and most importantly talented. He has an exceptional eye for the fine details that enhance the mood and surrounding area. You'll look back at your photos and feel like he photographed your warmest dreams. I can't thank him enough for capturing such beautiful pictures and making us look pretty darn good."

Jocelyn & Martin

"My fiancé and I were able to have our engagements done by Gideon Photography. Our experience was wonderful! Jimmy was very easy to get in touch with and we were able to coordinate without problems. We asked him to choose a place for us to take the pictures and he took us to somewhere with breathtaking scenery and definitely somewhere we wouldn't have been able to find by ourselves! He made us feel very comfortable while taking the pictures and helped us coordinate outfits to help with the all around outcome of the pictures. Not only was our experience great while taking the pictures but he edited them and had them back to us within a day! Amazing! I would reccomend Gideon Photography every time for any type of photos needed. There was zero stress involved and an all around a great experience!"

Jordan & Kolten

"We loved working with Jimmy! He took both our engagement and wedding pics and we just love them! We weren't sure what to expect for our engagement pics and were both a bit nervous but Jimmy made it so comfortable and easy and we ended up having such a fun time. On our wedding day he did such a great job capturing the details of the day in such beautiful images. Hiring a great photographer was a high priority for us and we feel so fortunate that we got to work with Jimmy. I would highly recommend him to anyone!"

Melinda & Mats

"We are so glad that Jimmy was able to photograph our wedding. He photographed a close friend’s wedding a few years before and I adored her photos. Jimmy was the first vendor we contacted after we got engaged. Capturing the mood and emotion of the day was really important to us, and Jimmy’s work completely exceeded our expectations. He caught so many special moments, including beautiful candid shots. Not only did our photos turn out amazing (friends and family were so impressed), but Jimmy was a dream to work with. He is so personable and easy going and he was able to make us feel completely at ease in front of the camera. I love our wedding photos so much, and hiring Jimmy was absolutely the right decision. He is the best!"

Adria & Sujeet

"It was an absolute pleasure working with Jimmy. We had a great time getting to know him and he made us feel so comfortable. Our family is big, and loud, and wild, and despite all of the commotion, Jimmy was able to capture so many wonderful moments that we will always cherish. We are so grateful to him and would definitely recommend him to everyone!"

Kaitlyn & Sean

"Jimmy was the absolute best photographer we could have hoped for. Our pictures were so stunning and he captured everything we wanted! He is so kind and very easy to work with. I love my photos so much and I definitely will hire him again to take pictures of our growing family In the near future. Thank you so much jimmy for an easy and amazing wedding experience. Can't wait to work with you again Jimmy, you are worth every penny!!"

Kelly & Wade

"My wife and I were referred to Jimmy from a good friend. No other photographer we have come across ever compares to his quality of work and artistic style. The pictures he has taken of us, from engagement to wedding to children, are always beyond our expectations and we constantly get comments from friends that they look like they are straight out of a magazine. We refer Jimmy to everyone we know, and look forward to using him for years to come."

Katie & Chris

"While looking for a photographer I was looking mostly for someone that, of course, took beautiful photos but also had the personality that I could feel comfortable and happy around. So that our photos actually turned out genuine. Gideon photography did my sister's wedding a year and a half ago and he did an amazing job with their Photos and also our family of 12 plus the extended family on top of that. So he is awesome at getting a good shot of tons of different people without being bossy. Gideon is so so so good about being hands off. He is amazing at capturing simple facial expressions and emotion. It is so easy to do a shoot with him. It's even enjoyable. And then after it is all said and done he is amazing at the turn around time in getting the photos back to us after editing. Great experience, wonderful photos. You can't go wrong with Gideon Photo."

Carol Ann & Austin

"While searching for a wedding photographer, we wanted not only someone who could take great pictures, but someone who could capture the style and emotion that was created on our wedding day. Every time we look at our wedding album, we feel so grateful to Jimmy for his art, his passion, and his talent in capturing those special moments through his camera lens. His photos are timeless, his style unique, and his talent is second to none. Thank you Jimmy for all the amazing wedding photos."

John & Sarah

"Jimmy was the photographer for both our engagement pictures and our wedding, and he was amazing. He was extremely patient and took the time to make everything fun and enjoyable. We were apprehensive about the engagement photo session, but as soon as we got there he made us feel very comfortable. He focused on the things we liked, but also helped us to realize what looks good and makes a great picture. Jimmy also took the time to edit all of the photos, creating amazing effects that made our pictures look unique and incredible! We have had people come up to us on many occasions saying how much better they liked our pictures than the ones taken at their own wedding! Having a recent bride admit that your pictures are better than hers is a testament to how great of a photographer Jimmy really is." 

Whitney & Sean

"We used Jimmy from Gideon Photography for our engagements and wedding. Our engagement photos were breathtaking! Jimmy makes you feel very comfortable in front of the camera and many times we didn't even know he was taking them. Our wedding photos we haven't gotten back yet, but are super excited to see them as we know they will be beautiful! We live in California and it was no problem having him come out. We can't wait to use him in the future for other photos we decide to take!"

Lindsey & Bryan

"When I first saw Jimmy's photo's I fell in love. I had to have him. Everyone of his photos capture the emotion of that moment. I could feel how much the couples loved each other and the families looked so happy. He brought out the best features of each person and made everyone look amazing. The pictures he took of us captured our personality exactly. I love how he uses the light and colors perfectly. He was so fun to work with too. It was like we were taking pictures with our good friend, he made us feel so relaxed and had so much fun taking the pictures. From our engagements to our wedding day I love every picture and couldn't have asked for anything better. Take one look at his pictures and you will fall in love just as I did. His pictures are worth every penny and we will be using him again and again."

Lindsey & Matt

“Dear Jimmy, how do we begin to thank you!? You documented the biggest and most important day of our lives. Thank you for being a part of our wedding day and making it that much more special. Thanks you for all of your hard work and time with our engagements, bridals and especially on the big day. Pictures are the most important part of a wedding because the are the only thing we have to remember it all by. We are so grateful that we chose you to capture our memories. They couldn't have turned better. We have received so many compliments ever photo people have seen. We are also grateful you were so easy to work with. You made taking pictures fun. Thank you again for everything!"

Lauren & Tai

"Gideon Photography was, by far, our greatest choice when it came to wedding vendors. Because photography was something that we really valued as part of our wedding, we took the task of researching and weighing our options pretty seriously. After our first meeting with Jimmy we couldn't have been more excited that we had chosen him as our photographer. He was so quick to pick up on our aesthetic and we were confident that he would capture exactly what we wanted. His unique style is unlike your typical wedding photographer and we know that, because of that style, our photos are timeless. His attention to detail was extremely important to us and when we got our photos back we were grateful to have such great documentation of the little things. After each of our sessions with him we were blown away with what he was able to do and we were incredibly pleased with the results. Aside from his obvious talent, he is extremely pleasant to work with and has ended up being a good friend of ours. We have, and will, continue to refer our friends and family to Gideon Photography."

Megan & Blake

"Besides the actual ceremony itself, the photos are our most cherished memory from our wedding. Even months after our big day, friends and colleagues are constantly blown away by the amazing artistry behind every shot. The lighting, the angles, and the details are awe-inspiring. The emotions captured in the photographs are a true reflection of our feelings that day. 

Many people have commented that the photo taken of us in front of a TRAX train in downtown Salt Lake City is the most brilliant and amazing photo they have ever seen. We would agree. It was truly a pleasure working with Gideon Photography and we would highly recommend their services to anyone hoping to vividly remember those special moments from the most important day of their lives."

Katie & Scott

"We love our photos!!! They are better than any other images we have ever had taken. I can't wait to share them. We are so grateful you took the time to come and capture something so special with us. Your note was so touching and we can't wait to have another photo session with you. We will let you know when it will be time for a maternity session :) because we know for sure we will be calling you. We feel so blessed to have found a photographer for life and a friend. All the best to you and your family. I am always stalking your work so I am sure we will talk soon."

I was lucky enough to be introduced to Jimmy about 10 years ago and haven't used another photographer since we first worked together. He captured my engagements, flew across the country to Charleston, SC and photographed our wedding, and now has taken our first family photos with our two year old son. Jimmy had tremendous patience for an overly active "hiker"-our toddler and treated him with such gentle care when his parents were sweating from trying to keep him still and in one place. When you get the chance to shoot with Jimmy you feel special, like catching up with an old friend, but a friend that will make you feel beautiful. People I've never met have managed to see my wedding photos on Pinterest and send me messages complimenting his work all the time. Our family and friends continue to ohh and aww over our wedding photos and we can't wait to work with him again. I would highly recommend Jimmy for any memory that you want to hang on the wall!

Stephanie & Louie

"Jimmy is simply amazing. He did our engagements, bridal/groomal session and wedding. I felt confident he would capture every detail and special moment of our big day and he did not disapoint! We've recieved endless compliments on the unique curated feel of our photographs and were so proud to be able to share with our friends and family. High quality and timely delivery. The groom was nervous about being in front of the camera but Jimmy put him at ease, and he really enjoyed the experience. He really made our pictures feel effortless and natural. We definitely hope that Jimmy will be able to photograph our family as it grows in the future and highly recommend him for any event!"

Oriana & Phillip

"He has a way of capturing natural expression without making the pictures seem stiff or too typical (as well as eliminating the awkwardness of kissing in front of a stranger). Jimmy was there from the start on our wedding day, making things run very smoothly and stress free. As I am sure many people understand from experience, picture taking can become chaotic and un- enjoyable after a wedding ceremony. Many of the guests commented on how nicely organized the pictures were done after the ceremony, which made an enjoyable day for people on both sides: the wedding party, and the guests. We still are getting comments on our pictures from both the pictures hanging on the wall, to the picture in our announcement. Pictures last forever, and we wouldn’t have made any other choice in a photographer to help us remember one of the most important days of our lives."

Claire & Robert

"After finding Jimmy online through some wedding blogs, my husband and I both fell in love with his style. We noticed he was from Utah (we're in LA) and weren't sure if the distance would put a strain on the relationship. I reached out to Jimmy for a quote and some inquiries about availability and was impressed by the timeliness of his responses. Once we did our engagements with him, we knew he was a solid photographer with an artistic eye for backdrops, lighting, and shots that captured our giddiness, love, and personalities. He worked diligently with us to accommodate our busy schedules and limited availability, and made both of us feel comfortable on a very nerve-wrecking and busy day. We absolutely LOVE our wedding photos and even better, is our wedding album which was also designed by Jimmy. We would recommend Jimmy from Gideon Photo to anyone looking for a reliable and amazing photographer."
