About

HI, I'M JONATHAN. JON-ATHAN. JON ATHANS PHOTOGRAPHY.

I'm a wedding photographer based out of Berks County, Pennsylvania and Baltimore, Maryland. I've been capturing real and moment-driven wedding photos since 2011. I tell love stories through creative images and candid captures of genuine people.

I like real. I like messy. I like tears and belly laughter. I want you to be fully present on the biggest day of your life - while I work my butt off taking photos like a ninja that will blow your mind and make your parents cry. No script. Nothing fake. Everything real.

Amazing Photography!

We had such a fun time with Jon Athans Photography! Jon took the time to include special moments throughout the day. They are great at capturing candid moments! We loved having Jon and Lindsey part of our special day!

Absolutely fantastic!

Jon was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. He was so flexible and understanding when we had to cancel our first date because of COVID, then coached us through when we planned to just have a city hall wedding and have him snap a few pics. We were just going to do something quick and he gave us guidance and recommendations on making it more memorable and making a day of it, which was so hugely appreciated and he was 100% right. Then when we decided last minute to reschedule the actual wedding in only 2 months, Jon pivoted with us once again. He has such an eye for capturing the emotion of important moments - the pictures he takes really do say a thousand words. He was so easy going and helped me not stress - he was easy to talk to and instantly made us feel at ease and like we were in good hands, which we were. Absolutely recommend Jon - can't say enough good things about him - zero room for improvement in our eyes. Wouldn't dream of hiring anyone but him to capture our next special milestone.

Loved Jon!

Jon was amazing! From our pre wedding phone call to our post wedding sneak peaks we could not have been happier! He was extremely professional, very timely, and helped me as a bride no worry about if moments were being captured. Our wedding day was an incredibly humid and hot day in July and Jon was great at facilitating us and our bridal party so that we did not over heat. The pictures we received we incredible, I couldn’t believe how beautiful they turned out. We even got a set of pictures that same night as our sneak peak which we loved and were very impressed by. I would recommend Jon to anyone looking for a wonderful photographer for their wedding!

The absolute BEST photographer EVER!!

We are so incredibly thankful to have had Jonathan by our side to help us capture the most incredible day of our lives! From our engagement photo session, to our helpful phone calls, to the big day, Jon was fantastic. Getting to have some time in front of the camera with him during our engagement photo session was SO helpful and fun! It helped my husband and me to feel comfortable in front of the camera and to give us a little preview of how our wedding day photos would go! Jon was there for every special moment (and more) on the day of our wedding. He made us feel so comfortable and at ease the entire day. From getting ready, to the “I dos”, to our special sunset pictures, Jon was with us the entire way. Our special blog that he made the week after our wedding was so fantastic. All of our family and friends could not stop raving about how beautiful the pictures were! That was such a wonderful sneak peek to have before the rest of our photos were ready. The morning that we received our final pictures, we could not stop smiling and crying! He helped us to re-live our day all over again, and now we have these memories forever. His pictures are so unique and beautiful, and we LOVE them so much! Jonathan has such a wonderful gift, and we could not be more thankful to have had him by our side on the absolute best day of our lives!

Great Guy and Great Pictures!

My wife and I are very happy that we chose Jon to be our photographer for our wedding! He was recommended to us by a friend and when we saw all of his great reviews/comments online (along with his respectable pricing packages) we knew we found our fit. We met with Jon to do our engagement photo session and he was immediately so easy to get along with and made the who photoshoot situation comfortable for us. Jon always kept in contact with us and answered all of our questions very quickly. He was extremely flexible with our schedule and ideas for the wedding and gave us tips on what typically works best for his clients. On the day of our wedding, Jon arrived earlier than we expected which was very relieving. Jon was so calm and collected throughout the day and never rushed us. It was extremely hot outside so he planned his shots beforehand and made sure that we completed our bridal party and family photos as soon as possible so we could enjoy the cocktail hour and some AC. Although it took some time to get all of our pictures in the mail, Jon posted a collection online within a few days which was much appreciated! We absolutely love the pictures that he took, especially with his unique touch of lighting and angles. We definitely recommend using Jon, you will not be disappointed!

I am so happy with our decision to choose Jon as our wedding photographer! Jon is incredibly talented at what he does and has a unique style that we loved. He was so easy to communicate with and made us feel so comfortable from the moment we met him. Jon takes the type of photos you want to hang in your home - candid, unplanned and capturing all the feelings on our wedding day. I almost had a mini freak out moment on our honeymoon wondering if Jon even made it to the church that is how stealth mode he was. Somehow he was able to capture literally every moment of the day without us ever even really noticing he was following us the entire day. We can't thank Jon enough for the wonderful pictures he took for us. He is doing my sister's wedding as well this upcoming weekend and I am just so happy for her knowing how awesome her pictures are going to turn out. We are forever grateful - thank you Jon!

Words can't describe how completely happy we are with Jon. We researched potential photographers for a few months and spent countless hours sifting through reviews, websites, asking friends for referrals, etc. , before making a decision. After speaking to Jon over the phone, we immediately knew he was the best person for us. Throughout the entire process he was professional, well-spoken, personable, detail-oriented, punctual, flexible, super-passionate, and very good at his craft. As working professionals, we have extremely high expectations of people when doing business with them. Jon delivered exceptional results and far exceeded our expectations. We are very thankful that we found Jon and had the opportunity to have him take photos of us on our special day. The value received was far beyond what we paid. Book him while you have the opportunity! You will not be disappointed.

Jon was the photographer for my wedding in Miami Beach. From the first conversation we had about my wedding to the moment I saw my pictures, everything was PHENOMENAL! Before the wedding, he listened to my vision and offered incredible insight and creativity to the ideas I already had. He thought of things that never occurred to me. In the weeks leading up to the wedding he checked in with me. The day of the wedding he kept me centered. Oh, and he also took the most breath taking, imaginative, honest, BEAUTIFUL pictures EVER - I really couldn't ask for anything more. They are perfect. They are unique. They are exactly what I wanted.

When I show people my pictures they are completely obsessed and immediately ask who my photographer was. When I look at my pictures I see moments that take me right back to the feelings, excitement, and love of the day. I wanted a photographer as fabulous as my wedding - I got that tenfold. Jon. is. the. best.

I booked Jon for our Philly wedding a few years after he did my best friends wedding. I loved her photos so much I never even looked for another vendor. Jon and Lauren were such a pleasure to work with on our wedding day. They were fun and laid back and were a genuine pleasure to have with us on our wedding day. 99% of the time I didn't even realize they were so laid back and fun. I think that's why the photos are so amazing, you feel so comfortable during the whole process. I was dreading wedding photos because I am not into taking photos but he made it so easy and fun and quick! The photos are AMAZING and breathtaking, Jon has such a beautiful and modern style. I've been to a ton of weddings and Jon's photos (of all his weddings) are my favorite pictures I've seen. I live in NYC (where people like to critique for sport) and have gotten so many messages from friends blown away by the post wedding blog photos raving about his talent. My other vendors even made a point to compliment his style and how great he was to work with during the 10 hours he spent with us. Thank you so much Jon and Lauren, we couldn't be happier! If you're trying to find a photographer for your big day, you will be so happy with Jon.
