"We loved Jon from our first meeting and knew we had picked the perfect person to document our day. We had Jon and an assistant shooter and we had SUCH a fun time with them at the wedding. They became my bridal party's new favorite people! Jon is so open and accepting, and he really made it fun and easy to be ourselves on camera. They were a joy to have as part of our wedding day. And the pictures are AMAZING. I can not wait to cover my house with them!!"

I met with Melissa on campus at JMU in Harrisonburg, Virginia for this graduation session! Melissa is graduating in December but setup a date for her session before the winter weather comes! The fall colors made for a great backdrop around campus while we stopped by some key locations including The Quad, The Statue of James Madison, The Fountain, and The Kissing Rock. All were perfect spots for this session. Not only did we get the standard cap and gown photos but we also got some more casual images.

The Inn at Little Washington Surprise Proposal

Â
Thank you Josh for this great testimonial!
"Working with Jon to capture my proposal was a truly great experience. Despite a late inquiry - I initially contacted him about a week before the date - Jon was extremely flexible and accommodating. There were some proposal aspects that I had not decided on with certainty and he set aside more than enough time to ensure that the moment was captured professionally and beautifully. All contractual and payment details were upfront and straightforward - no unexpected costs, no muss, no fuss. As far as the pictures go, I love what Jon produced for us. He was able to frame our photos impeccably with our surroundings - we have received countless compliments from everyone that we've shared them with. His initial estimate was that all our photos would be available after 1-2 weeks, but we received them all in a nicely-presented online album in after 2 days. Highly recommended!"
