Reviews of Pivko Photography

Could not have picked a better photographer!

Working with Pivko Photo was probably the most fun of any of our wedding vendors! We loved our engagement photos, and they also gave us a chance to get comfortable posing in advance of the wedding day. On the day, Kyle brought such great energy - he really added to our experience. So many guests commented on how much they liked him as well. Even getting through our long shot list of posed family photos was not so bad :) Kyle was very efficient at lining up groups. We could not be happier with the photos we received in the end - I have scrolled through them countless times since the day, and really feel the day was thoroughly captured. We will treasure these photos and could not recommend Kyle & Jon more!

Even better than we imagined!

Hiring Jon was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! From our first conversation, Jon was professional, friendly, and focused. Early on we talked about our priorities and wishes for our wedding day, plus some insecurities and concerns. He completely understood and he delivered on everything he promised he would. Throughout our portraits we were cracking jokes with him and his assistant (shout out Beth!); they were wonderful company and made everyone in front of the camera feel comfortable. Thank you, Jon!

The perfect wedding photographer

Working with Jon and his team member Kyle was a really special and 10/10 experience from start to finish. We used Jon for our engagement shoot and both Jon and Kyle for our wedding weekend, and could not be happier with our choice. They made the entire experience fun, easy, and comfortable, and knew exactly how to get every shot we wanted without sacrificing any time celebrating with our guests. Every photo we got back is a work of art, and they captured the perfect balance of candid/journalistic and editorial/fine-art photography that we were looking for, while also including gorgeous drone images so that we could take in the full beauty of our various venues from a different vantage point. We are forever grateful and are recommending them to every and any one who is looking for a wedding photographer.

Stop your search and hire jon pivko!

WHERE TO BEGIN!! My husband and I were blown away by Jon Pivko and his team, and could not be happier that we chose him to capture our special day.

Jon came highly recommended from friends of friends who praised his calming, professional, organized, and fun personality- not to mention drop dead stunning photos. And Jon exceeded EVERY EXPECTATION!

We met Jon a few weeks before our wedding before via zoom and he listened to every shot combo and vision for the day. Within 5 minutes of meeting him on the wedding day, I felt like I knew him for years! He made us feel so comfortable and relaxed the entire wedding day, and made us feel like movie stars! He was efficient, organized, and had an amazing eye that made for stunning shots.

My husband is not one for posing for photos, and he could not stop raving about Jon and his team. We genuinely had so much fun hanging out all day! Jon turned around our sneak peak SO quickly and his photos truly capture the magic of our wedding day. The shots, the lighting, the angles-- he is a professional. Huge shout out to Kyle on his team as well who rocked. We could tell they had a lot of fun shooting our day, which made us have even more fun.

I cannot recommend Jon Pivko enough. He MADE our wedding and will be looking at his stunning photos over and over again!

Best in the biz!!!

We hired Jon as our photographer for our wedding and we could not be more impressed. He did an outstanding job and was an absolute pleasure to work with. He has such a creative eye and a wonderful energy to be around. Leading up to the ceremony he took his time to capture everything and provided great guidance to get the perfect shot, all while being efficient with our time. Our bridal party all commented on how comfortable he made them feel. He's the best in the biz.

You will not regret booking Jon!

When I first stumbled upon Jon's portfolio, I instantly knew we had to hire him to capture our engagement shoot and wedding. Little did I know back then just how grateful I would be for making this decision. Like many couples whose weddings were in jeopardy because of the pandemic, my husband and I were forced to rethink what our wedding would look like for the safety and well being of our guests. We ended up pivoting towards shooting a creative, "love story" short film with Jon that we would premiere virtually to our guests (*think not your average wedding video*). It was the most challenging yet fun and adventurous projects we've ever endeavored on and we honestly would not have wanted to venture on this journey with anyone other than Jon. Throughout our time working with him, we've experienced first hand how hard working and driven by passion he is. He will go above and beyond for his clients and is truly a master of his craft, taking just the right amount of creative risk to add something special to his art. But not only is his work so thoughtfully crafted; Jon is also just a genuine, laid back, no-bs type of guy. He is incredibly professional, looks out for your best interest, and is sensitive towards others. Even in the toughest of situations like what we've all faced in 2020, he was selfless, willing to be flexible, and gave 110%. I cannot stress enough how worth it and positive of an experience you'll have working with Jon. Seriously, you will not regret it.

10/10 book Jon right now

Jon is the first vendor I want to review after my wedding and there are so many reasons why. He was extremely easy to work with - the moment I explained my vision, he was on the same page. Before the wedding, we came up with a timeline together that fit my wants and needs for the day. He learned the names of our wedding party so quickly and was extremely helpful in getting those portraits done timely so we could focus on what we really wanted - couples shots. We shot in multiple locations and Jon was equipped to handle it all. He would change lenses quickly and not skip a beat. I was confident that he captured all of the pieces of my day that I wanted him to capture. He was great at giving direction and made me feel even more beautiful. As vendor who has to sometimes “pull you away” from the party, a photographer can be sometimes a hinderance. However, Jon absolutely enriched our day, and it speaks volumes about his skill set and him as a person in general. I look back on my wedding and know that Jon created some fond memories for my husband and I, and I’m extremely grateful.

Absolutely amazing and thankful!

We had Jon as our videographer for our wedding and we were so lucky to have him.
It was 95 degrees on the day of our wedding, even though I could tell it was hard for Jon, he never complained and he went above and beyond taking outdoor shots without being asked. We were so grateful of his professionalism. Jon also communicated and coordinated well with our photographer, and I learned how important it is only because he did it so well.
Jon really helped our day amazing and we can't thank him enough!

The absolute best photographer ever

Jon Pivko is the absolute best in the business - I refuse to believe that anyone out there is as kind, patient, passionate about his work, and as fun, as Jon is. We hired him as our photographer for our 6/14/19 wedding after seeing some previous pictures he took at our venue and it was the absolute best decision we made! Then, when we got the pictures back that he took for our engagement shoot, we knew 100% that we could not have chosen anyone else. Jon takes the kind of pictures that are classic, timeless, and genuine. He doesn't over-edit with stupid effects etc. - he takes real pictures, with real emotion and will do whatever it takes (lie in a thick bed of bushes) to get the perfect picture. He was an absolute pleasure to work with - very easygoing and calm - which is what you need when you're going 1,000 miles a minute on your wedding day. During the entire process, he was responsive and always willing to answer any question I had - you deal directly with him which I really appreciated as a consumer. Jon, thank you SO MUCH for making our day picture perfect - you are the absolute best. People, you will NOT GO WRONG with Jon for your photographer - look nowhere else!!!
