Jonathan did an excellent job covering the premiere of Kate Hugo: Murder After Mayhem. He not only captured posed photos during our Opening Reception, but candid ones as well before, during and after the premiere.

Jonathan Arlia is the consummate professional. Very, very good at what he does—photography. In addition to his skill and expertise, he is fun and easy to work with—and I’ve worked with hundreds of photographers as a wedding officiant and a professional Santa Claus. The photographs from a recent shoot were stunning…truly spectacular. If you’re looking for a great photographer, you really owe it to yourself to check Jonathan out. My guess is that you’ll end up booking him.
