Jon is an amazing photographer. My wife and I lived in the DC area but have chosen to do our traditional engagement ( Ghana Style) and our wedding ceremony in Raleigh NC. In our search for a professional photographer, a lady recommended Jon Young to us.
My wife and I perused through some of Jon's Photo gallery and we decided to give him a try. We schedule our engagement on July 7, 2012 at my then fiancé parents home (now my wife).
Jon arrived an hour earlier prior to the start of the event. Jon was very professional and friendly. He captured some outstanding scenes that no one could tell when Jon took those pictures. The engagement pictures were elegant. So we used Jon again in our recent wedding ceremony and again he prove to us he love what he does. Our wedding pictures were stunning. Jon knows how to capture every moment of joy and every segment of emotions during the ceremony. Jon is the man to chose when you need a photographer for any event. He is punctual, malleable, great smile, and entertaining while doing his work with great professionalism.
I hardly give reviews but this wonderful young man deserve one from me. May God bless you Jon.
I tell you if his schedule work for you take him on ASAP!!!!

My husband and I were super happy with our decision to have Jon as our wedding photographer. We had a strict budget and Jon was incredibly flexible to maximize the bang for our buck. He was funny and kind while also being a bit stern when need be to get people moving on to follow our timeline. It was a really perfectly professional balance. He made everyone in the wedding feel comfortable and he paid special attention to the little details and moments that made our wedding special. We feel very fortunate to have found Jon and definitely recommend him for anybody's event!

There is perhaps nothing more nerve racking about weddings than selecting a photographer, particularly a photographer who will understand the bride and groom as a couple, and provide a final product that will be viewed again and again over the course of a marriage. I am so thrilled to say that Jon is precisely the type of photographer that met all of our needs.

Jon eagerly took on some of the challenges we threw at him, a family based, traditional engagement ceremony, formal engagement pictures in the rain, and the penultimate wedding photos. He handled each session with such ease and was so joyful. He makes you forget that you are having your photo taken and allows you to relax - which makes for stunning pictures. He also became one of the family members, we are already looking for ways to work with him again.

If you are looking for a photographer that has an eye for capturing emotion and can truly tell your story from beginning to end, I HIGHLY recommend Jon. You will not be disappointed!
