Jon Adams Photography

We highly recommend Jon Adams to anyone looking for a wedding photographer! From our first meeting through the last shot of our wedding night, working with Jon was a dream! He was highly involved and organized throughout the entire planning process which allowed for a seamless wedding day. Jon and his co-shooter, Jamie, felt like members of the wedding party as they captured everything from the beautiful details to the candid moments, all of which will be cherished for a lifetime! We couldn’t have hoped for a better experience!

Jon Adams and his second photographer, Jaime, were absolutely phenomenal! Jon is incredibly organized, kind, and passionate about his work and it truly shows in every photo. He perfectly captured the elevated-nature feel of our wedding day, from our first look at the top of Jay Peak to every moment in between. The photos are absolutely insane, timeless, emotional, and artistic all at once. Jon also photographed my brother’s wedding a few years ago, and both sets of photos came out beyond stunning. He personalizes his approach to each couple, making you feel comfortable and confident the entire time. It’s no surprise he’s won so many awards, he is hands down the best photographer in Vermont and New England area.

Working with Jon was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From the first sit-down at his studio, to the final pictures, any time with Jon proved to be a great value. Going with anyone else would've been a mistake. His passion for his craft was truly admirable and we are forever grateful for the work Jon put into this. We fully recommend Jon for anyone looking for a genuine and very talented photographer.

I can't say enough wonderful things about Jon and his team. Jon was so easy to talk to, get in touch with, and quite literally managed my entire wedding day. They went above and beyond to ensure I would have the best/least stressful day. Throughout the day, Jon ensured I ate/drank water, had time to myself, had time alone with my partner, and was so flexible when things needed to be adjusted. The pictures Jon and his team took were stunning, and I mean STUNNING. It is very difficult to narrow down a few of my favorites. The video perfectly captured the day and all of my favorite moments. I could not have asked for a better photographer/videographer team!

Jon Adams was an absolute dream to work with, he was personable, professional, and his talent absolutely speaks for itself. I also cannot believe how FAST he got our photos back to us, seriously, WOW! He is absolutely passionate about photography and capturing the moment as individual it is to each newly married couple. My wedding vibe was Vermont forest, fairyland and it totally came through in the photos. I also hired him to do a wedding video for us and I am SO glad that I did. Now we will have something to watch back in the years to come and even to show our kids. He was seriously so lovely to work with, everyone at my wedding who interacted with him was beyond impressed.

We got married 8/3/24 and loved having Jon Adams as our photographer. Engagement photos were included in the package and we appreciated the chance to meet and get comfortable before the wedding day. On both occasions, he made us comfortable and helped guide us through a variety of poses. He was able to capture so many moments of our wedding day from the emotions of the ceremony to the dancing. He got some amazing artistic shots, too, including one with lightning in the background. We appreciated that his package was full-day and we didn't have to figure out how to fit our photos into a tight time-frame. His turn-around time on photos was unbelievable - engagement photos were sent to us the same night he took the photos and we got the wedding photos with 5 days!

We interviewed a few photographers in the hope of finding someone we admired AND jived with. First, we were in awe of Jon's portrait gallery on his website. Then, we met him over zoom and immediately felt comfortable. Jon is excellent at what he does - that matters a lot. For us, the energy and the connection also mattered a lot. Jon is easy to talk to, accessible, responsive, and fun! We are so grateful for the opportunity to partner with Jon for our wedding. If you're still on the search, look no further - Jon is simply the best!

Jon was the best thing that happened to me on my wedding day. I mean-- so was my husband-- but having a highly professional and talented photographer was the best investment for the wedding that we could have made. The day goes by SO fast, and after the dust settles- the photos make you really enjoy all the details and planning that went into your special day. You don't have enough time to fully take everything in, so getting those photos and spending time looking through them makes you really enjoy the experience so much more than you're able to on the day of.

The experience: It was a wonderful day- but until I got the photos back, I couldn't truly grasp and appreciate all that had happened. In talking to my guests, I realized my experience was so much different than theirs, so all of Jon's photos were able to help me envision what everyone else was seeing and feeling. Viewing the photos from each part of the day, I could fully absorb the highlights and details of everything we tried to craft and appreciate them. He artfully categorized the photographs into sections when delivering the finished product, so everyone who attended (or didn’t attend) could get the full experience of the entire day’s activities.
Jon's attention to the timeline of the day and insight into what I felt was important to capture was all spot on. He was thinking about those moments before I was. From before the wedding day, during the planning, getting to know us—and then all through the entire day and afterwards. A true professional.

Timeline: From the very beginning of the day, Jon and his crew stepped into shepherd me through the day's events. Since I do live far from my ladies, capturing the “getting ready experience” was crucial to me and now I have that imprint in my mind forever. His teammate Jamie also provided great comedic relief at times. And each step, makeup, getting dressed, transportation- was all coordinated with his help.

We opted not for a first look with each other because we are more traditional, but it was important to me to spend a moment alone with my dad away from everyone else before I got married. Jon made sure to listen and note all those important moments that were crucial to us. Life is short, and we were grateful to have a photographer who understood us and was able to capture the broad spectrum of the day, but also have great intuition and be really in touch with those mini-moments that capture an essence of deeper sentiment.

Style: The style of photos is natural, romantic, and authentic. Jon makes you feel comfortable and works around the room and people with flow and ease. It comes across in the finished product. Nothing is over filtered, over-staged. This was important to me when choosing a photographer. The craft of photography comes through. He comes prepared with his cameras, lights…and special equipment. Jon and his team nailed it.

If you’re thinking of doing a video--- think no more--- DO IT!!!!! I could watch the video over and over again and hope to watch it with my kids someday. It’s a great recap of everything-- a movie trailer, if you will, of your special day. There were thousands of photos taken and the video accurately highlights the overall sentiment and matches the energy of each part of the day.

This might sound cheesy, but Jon Adams Photography is more than just a photographer. He is a professional companion in your journey of love. Every time we glimpse at a photo, my husband and I get that tingly feeling all over again. I was nervous about the timeline of events and staying on track- but Jon was confident and swift to manage all those subconscious nerves for me. The only thing I was not nervous about was marrying my husband. That feeling of warmth, complete peace--overcomes me again every time I look back at the photos.

Jon photographed our wedding on 10/14/23 & hiring him was honestly the best decision I could’ve made!
For over a year as we planned, Jon stayed in touch & sent helpful tips every step of the way (even went as far as helping me make decisions with other things for the wedding which I will forever be grateful for)!

On the day, Jon and Jamie went above & beyond to capture everything we had wanted (& then some!). Their photography & videography skills plus their attention to detail meant that nothing was left out & everything was captured beautifully for us to look at forever.

He also took our family Christmas card pictures for us after & they are amazing! His studio has everything you could want (indoor & outdoor) & he does an amazing job!

I am so happy that we decided to go with Jon & HIGHLY recommend him to anyone looking for a wedding photographer (or for any kind of pictures)!

Jon went above and beyond to capture the perfect shots on our wedding day! He was extremely easy to work with and made sure we got every picture from our photo wish list. He worked hard to make sure the lighting was great in every picture and truly was a pleasure to work with. One of our favorite pictures was a group shot of all of our wedding guests which Jon helped to organize with ease. We have since hired Jon for both maternity and family pictures because of the positive experience from our wedding day! Jon is personable, talented, trustworthy and dedicated. We were very fortunate to have him as our photographer for our wedding and highly recommend him to anyone looking!
