Portfolio
I always strive to capture the emotional essence of all the dramatic moments that make up your special day. My background in photojournalism and documentary means I tend to not over-pose you or the wedding party. I prefer natural, essential photography, instead of trying to be overly complicated and artistic. I find the beauty in small things, and that makes gorgeous, natural photography that accurately captures the once-in-a-lifetime emotions of your wedding day.
Looking at it years later, my photography will remind you of important moments you may have forgotten about, so you can take yourself, your family and friends, on a visual journey through one of the most important events of your life. Don’t trust that responsibility on just anyone.
Hiring me is a guarantee that the spirit of your wedding day will be captured accurately, appropriately, and with a professional, collaborative attitude.
Videography
Here is a handsome example of my wedding videography services. This particular highlight film has great sound despite the windy conditions on the beach. Look how colorful and crisp the images are. Imagine your wedding highlight film looking and sounding this good.

Meet Jason R. Johnston
Thank you for considering me to capture your special day. I look forward to this opportunity to give you lasting memories you and your family will cherish for generations. I enjoy capturing weddings, proposal happenings, engagement portraiture, as well as other events like birthdays, family gatherings and sweet sixteens or quinceañeras. I specialize in capturing images with a unique, organic documentarian flair.
I have been a professional photographer since I got my first paying freelance gig in 1996 while still pursuing a primary education diploma. I have over 20 years of industry experience; being an award-winning photographer and filmmaker. I love photographing weddings and would love to photograph yours. I am down-to-earth, easy-going and eager to collaborate on whatever you have in mind.
As a destination wedding photographer, I have served many ceremonies across south Texas and the Rio Grande Valley. I’m based in Harlingen, Texas, but I service the entire state; including South Padre Island, Brownsville, McAllen, Harlingen, San Antonio, Corpus Christi, Houston, Dallas, and Austin, as well as destination weddings beyond the Texas borders.
Contact me soon. I only take on a select few weddings per year, and as my calendar fills up quickly, you don’t want to miss your opportunity to book me to capture your special day. Don’t neglect the wedding photographer. I’m as important as the ring itself. I look forward to hearing from you!
