JON GENTRY PHOTOGRAPHY | SEATTLE . TACOMA . WEDDINGS . PORTRAITS bio picture

Hello.

My name is Jon. I'm 28 and married to an amazing woman.

I've been taking pictures since I was a kid. There was a time I had given up on photography, thinking that what I loved about it was disappearing. Then, I decided to pick up a camera again about a year ago when my daughter was born.

I fell in love all over, realizing that while memories and details may fade away, feeling can last a lifetime. They lie somewhere beneath the surface just waiting for a song, a scent, or a photograph to bring them rushing back.

A truly great photograph captures much more than a likeness, it captures what it felt like to be there in that moment. My goal is to do that with every picture I take.

film fridays!

It’s been a while since I’ve shared any personal work on here so I decided I needed to do something about it. Hence, Film Fridays! Every Friday (hopefully) I’ll be sharing some photos that I’ve shot on film and also some reasons about why I love it so much. Don’t worry, this isn’t some sort of film vs. digital debate. I obviously embrace both. I just want to show people that while film is no longer the most popular photographic choice, it is far from dead and there are plenty of reasons to give it another shot (pun intended).

So here’s my first reason and it’s the biggest one: It’s just plain beautiful. I won’t try to explain why it’s so beautiful in words but I’ll definitely try to convince you with pictures. Oh, and for anyone that’s interested this shot of my beautiful wife and daughter was taken on Fujicolor Pro 400h.

Anna’s Awesome 1st Birthday!

This was seriously one of the funnest birthdays I’ve ever been to. If only all birthdays could be this full of love and joy. Your first birthday is a pretty big deal though, so I’m glad Anna’s was so awesome. Thanks to Ara and Karina and their beautiful daughter Anna for letting me share in the celebration!
