About

Jon the photographer

Passion is just one component of my venture into professional photography. The other is simple - people. I love working with people of all backgrounds and cultures to capture the significant occasions in their lives and delving into a moment that they wish to have cemented in their memories (and preserved with photos) forever.  I feel an honest appreciation not only as a photographer, but as a person, to be trusted in those special milestones of your life. What started as a passion has truly turned into a privilege. And, that privilege in turn fuels my passion to continually grow for both myself and my clients.

 

With every event that I photograph, my aim is to do more than just execute. I believe that building a trusting relationship with my clients (and their guests) is paramount. A client of mine should never and will never have to worry about a missed moment during their event. My camera will be clicking from the instant I arrive to capture formal posed photos, candid shots, and all the special moments in between. Whether your event has ten guests or a thousand, I will work nonstop to ensure that no magical moment or detail is missed. In fact, what I often hear from former clients is that “the biggest challenge is choosing from the hundreds of wonderful shots.”

 

While it’s my passion that started me in the business of professional photography, it’s my proven artistry, skills, and reliability that have enabled me to be successful. As much as I am confident to speak of my ability to deliver exceptional service and beautiful photographs, my client reviews truly say it best.   (You can many see many of them in the REVIEWS section of this site.)

​

With only one opportunity to capture an event in all its glory, your memories are safe with me!

How it works

You are quoted a price which is based on the length of time that you request I am photographing your event and travel distance.   THAT IS ALL YOU WILL PAY.  There are no additional/hidden fees or charges.  

​

I do not sell prints or photo-books.  You are only paying for my time to photograph your event.

​

There are no limits on the number of pictures captured at your event.  It is dependent on your events specifics. (length of time, type of event, number of guests, amount/type of activities) You will typically receive 75 to 150 edited images for each hour of your event.  You are provided your photos in hi-resolution "jpg" format.  You are NOT charged for each picture.  

​

You are free to distribute or use your photos WITH NO RESTRICTIONS OR ADDITIONAL CHARGES!  You may use any printing service you like for prints, photo-books, etc (ex: Shutterfly, Snapfish, Walgreens, CVS, Costco, etc).  You can also share your photos with family and friends via email and social media.   YOU OWN THE PHOTOS!

​

At your event, I am constantly on-the-move, taking candid and posed photos of everyone and all of the important moments, focusing in on specific details that make your occasion unique, and capturing overviews that provide a larger perspective of your event.  

​

It is all pretty simple!

​

  • I quote you a price based on the length of time that you request I am photographing your event.   THAT IS ALL YOU WILL PAY.  There are no additional/hidden fees or charges.   
     

  • You will NOT be asked to sign a contract or make a deposit.
     

  • Upon being "hired", you will receive a Confirmation Email with all relevant details, payment terms, etc.
     

  • At any time before your event, you may request an earlier-than-planned start.  Also, during your event, you may request that I stay longer than originally planned.  I am happy to accommodate these requests if my schedule allows.  

    Additional time beyond what was initially requested and confirmed will be charged at an hourly rate (pro-rated for partial hours) that will be stated in your Confirmation Email.
     

  • You can contact me at any time to prior to your event date with questions or changes.
     

  • One (1) week prior to your event, I will reconfirm date, time, and location.  
     

  • I show up at your event early enough to be ready to start working at the agreed-upon time.  I often start early, at no additional cost to you.
     

  • At the end of the event, full-payment is due, as was detailed in your Confirmation Email.
     

  • Within 48 hours (though often within 24 hours), I edit your photos, host the photos on my Dropbox.com account, and provide you with a secure link (to only your photos) .  With this link, you can easily view and get your photos.  You can also share the link with family and friends, so they can also do the same!
