Not Your Average Photographer

Jonathan Bravo, the owner of Bravo Photography, generously gave us a few minutes of his time to tell us a little more about his award-winning business and its tremendous online reputation.

To kick off our conversation, we asked Jonathan what makes Bravo Photography unique when compared to his competition in South Dakota. Here’s his response:

“There are a lot of factors. The thing about this industry is that every single person can say, ‘Oh, I pamper my clients.’ But that’s something I try to value and what I do. I try to find a personality… Whether it be something completely crazy, like they like Buffalo Wild Wings or they like donuts, I try to find a way to make it artistic but still make it personal to them. That’s what I try to do with my business.”

We also asked Jonathan what his mission is at Bravo Photography and how the works to make the world a better place. Here’s what he had to say:

“I just want to help people. Whether it be me capturing their wedding day or their senior portraits, that is going to be something they are going to hold onto for years… That’s really what I try to do, and I’ve thought big about what I can do for society. I hold onto all the images I have just because you just never know what can happen to someone in the future. I’d rather hold onto every single picture I have. Whether it be something good or bad that happens to somebody, I can at least have those archived…”

Building Success by Providing a Next-Level Client Experience

Jonathan attributes Bravo Photography’s strong online reputation to the one-of-a-kind experience he provides for his clients:

“It’s all about the experience, I try to make the most of. …I try also…to make it as personal as I can make it. That usually ends up being a way for me to be more close to my clients, and they tend to leave more reviews because of that.”

Outside of building a powerful online reputation, Jared has gotten Bravo Photography’s name out there through social media, conventions, The Knot, Wedding Wire and word of mouth.


Congratulations to the team at Bravo Photography for being a 2019 Top Rated Local award winner, and thank you so much, Jonathan, for taking the time to speak with us!
