Hello, Swift Weddings Team!

It's a pleasure to connect with you!

I appreciate your time and consideration for subcontracted Wedding Photography work for the year of 2024 and onwards. Consider this page a snapshot to my work, my general approach to weddings, and my current gear list. If you have any further questions regarding anything covered here, I welcome you to fill out the form at the bottom of this page.

Jon is a Client focused portrait photographer with 10+ years of experience both in and out of studio/commercial settings. The majority of his creative coverage revolves around client work in a variety of industries. Jon's primary focus during Weddings however, is to ensure that the Client experiences a smooth, stress-free celebration. Though the imagery is important, experiencing the moment is even more so. Outside of the Bridal Portraits section of the day, you can expect a more candid capture approach.
