Jon Kaplan Photography

We just adore Jon! I’m not the biggest fan of getting my photo taken, it can feel awkward and forced. Jon did such an amazing job of shooting beautiful photos while making sure we felt completely comfortable and at ease. He gave us space to be ourselves and captured some keepsake candids and gently guided us for some truly professional portraits of family. We appreciate his friendship, professionalism and these forever memories.

Jon Kaplan came to our rescue! My (now) wife and I had no idea what we were doing. We had some overall goals for our wedding and some design ideas, but Jon came to save us. After our first Zoom call (while I was on the road working) I felt much more prepared concerning the order of events and activities that would take place on our special day. Jon layed out a few options in detailed timeline form as to what might work best for us. Even up until the wedding day, he made sure to communicate with us to ensure we were all on the same page. It is important to me that someone can be flexible, self reliant, and punctual. Jon checked all the boxes. We even received our pictures right on time per our agreement. I would recommend Jon Kaplan for your ceremony or any other special event you want remembered forever. All of the pictures we received delighted our family.

Jon was our wedding photographer and he did such an amazing job with capturing the best moments throughout the day. He did so great with all the kids and the wedding party. He had a plan and he executed it amazingly!! Thanks again Jon, look forward to working with you in the future.

We feel so fortunate to have found Jon as our wedding photographer! He captured our engagement and wedding photos like a true pro, it was so nice to be able to trust his judgement and experience during a high stress time like planning/having a wedding. Jon communicated with us through the whole process and even coordinated with our wedding planners. The pictures came out gorgeous. We couldn't be more pleased with how our photos came out. We highly recommend Jon if you are looking for a wedding photographer who has a ton of experience and will work with you to make sure your big day gets captured how you want it.

Jon is a great professional photographer. One thing I really loved was how personable he is. He will try and get to know the people he is taking pictures of. He wants to know how his clients want to capture their experience, and I loved that! I would highly recommend Jon to capture a special moment you want to cherish.

Jon was awesome to work with. Our pictures turned out beautifully

Jon was one of the most important people involved with planning our wedding. Not only was his photography incredible but he also was very experienced and helped us with our timeline when planning the wedding day. He is very personable, flexible, and has an eye for detail that is crucial with taking excellent photos. He was able to give us some teaser photos less than a week after the wedding and was very comunitive with the timeline on receiving the final product. He gave us edits of every picture suited for printing and for sharing online as well as a USB with all of the pictures. We would hire him again in a heartbeat and highly recommend him for engagement photos, wedding photos, etc.

Jon was such an asset to our wedding! He took some incredible photos and was so kind and professional. It really made our day even that much more special... I highly recommend him!

Jon did and amazing job photographing our big day! We had a big change of plans due to COVID and Jon was flexible with us and was able to make a custom plan for us and truly make our day special. He had Kyle working along with him as the videographer and they both did amazing work. They captured all of the small details and were willing to listen to what we wanted and also were creative when we were not sure on what we wanted at some points. They were a great team and had such kind and gentle attitudes. Thankful we had them on our big day, and would recommend them to anyone looking for a high quality wedding photographer & videographer.

Jon took my surprise proposal photos and the experience went great! Many pro photographers never get the chance to capture that experience. The surprise was not spoiled (except for my inevitably suspicious lady who wondered why I asked her to keep a certain Saturday open). Jon and I met at the Lord Hill Regional Park the day before to scope out the area and find an optimal spot with optimal evening lighting and spot for a picnic.

The next day, my lady and I drove to the park and I was happy to see Jon talking on the phone with his telephoto lens hidden, ignoring us to keep the surprise. Then, he followed us to the proposal spot keeping his distance and got sharp, beautiful photos of an important moment. Thank you!

He used the latest Canon full-frame mirrorless camera (EOS R) and a high end ~300mm lens, which was great to keep the quality good even with high ISO for the shady conditions. He used manual exposure settings and Spot focus, to make sure the camera focused on the right thing for the photos (not a branch, e.g.). Perfect!

We got 98 photos for $500, which I think is a good deal.

The photo choices (removing the duplicates), cropping, and editing were great. The only comment my lady and I have is that our skin had a green tint in the photos, but we could fix that in minutes in Adobe Lightroom to all 98 photos by adjusting the color balance and tint. We posted our photos on Facebook and also got printouts and our friends loved them.

I knew I wanted my engagement and wedding photos to feel natural and genuine. After speaking to our wedding coordinator, Jon Kaplan came very highly recommended. Jon made the whole process very easy and it was evident he had the expereince and skill to capture those perfect candid photos. We love looking back on that day and getting to see everyone's true reactions.

Planning a wedding can be stressful but working with Jon was so easy! From the moment we met him he was very easy going, friendly and welcoming. His attention to detail is incredible! During the planning process we met a few times and he was great at communicating and helping answer any questions we had! We took our engagement photos with him and it went great even though it was my husband and I’s first time taking professional photos, Jon did a great job guiding us and making us feel comfortable during the entire process.

On our wedding day he arrived early and captured every little detail of our wedding. We had such an amazing time working with Jon and plan on working with him in the future as well!

Jon did both our engagement and wedding photography.
He was very professional, friendly and a fabulous photographer.

Jon made our wedding day so seamless and helped everything run so smoothly! He is so easy to work with, very laid back, it made me and my husband feel so calm on the day of our wedding! Taking "staged" pictures can sometimes be awkward, but he made it so fun and we both felt so comfortable and it was fun!! Not to mention his pictures are absolutely amazing!! I would highly recommend Jon!!

My Bride and I took a very long time researching photographers in the area. We came across Jon and were blown away with the communication and how detail oriented Jon was. Jon was very professional, caring, understanding and was very accommodating to all the changes to the itinerary we had. We have been amazed with not only the amount but the quality is amazing. We highly recommend Jon to anyone interested in wanted great wedding pictures. Jon was great to hang out with and everyone in the wedding party loved his professionalism and courtesy in making everyone feel excited about the photo shoots and getting the best shoots of the wedding. Can't say enough about Jon, he was amazing to work with and we will use him again in the future for other photo opportunities. Great Job Jon!!!!!!!!!
