    Excellent photographer

    Jon was the photographer at my best friends wedding a few years ago and that's when I decided I wanted him as my wedding photographer. He did an amazing job, like a ninja capturing candid moments of all the guests, and great photos of the wedding. He was flexible, even when he showed up on time and I was behind still having my hair done. I got such beautiful pictures of my special day. Highly recommended.

    5 star review: professional, responsive, thorough, flexible and easy to work with!

    We immediately liked Jon when he answered our phone call right away and could answer all of our questions in detail. We cannot say enough good things about Jon- from start to finish- engagement photos, communication, assisting with the day of photography plan, editing our photos, and answering any questions we had no matter when we asked. He is kind, makes you feel comfortable during a very stressful day and was able to keep us on track so we could focus on the most important part- getting married!

    Amazing wedding photos

    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.

    Imaginative and Mindful Photographer

    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.

    Great wedding photographer!

    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.

    Great photographer

    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 Kaplan Photography's reply:

    Thank you so much for the kind words, Ashley! I hope you two have been enjoying the married life and hopefully we can catch up at some point here. I'd love to meet the new addition to the family too! Happy Thanksgiving and have a fun and restful holiday season!

    Great Experience!

    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.

    Easy to work with Photographer

    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.

    Meaningful and well put together

    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.

    Surprise proposal

    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.

    We adore our candid photos!

    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.

    Amazing experience!

    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 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!!!!!!!!!

    I have now worked with Jon three times, one for an engagement shoot, our wedding and a 30th birthday cake smash. I must say, Jon is the absolute best! He is an amazing photographer, reliable and fun! From the moment I met Jon at the My Snohomish Wedding Show I knew he was the photographer that I wanted to capture our perfect day. Let me tell you, this man did not disappoint!
    For the engagement shoot all I knew was that I wanted it to be during fall with the changing leaves. Jon was quick to suggest a few venues and gave me time to mull them over. He happened to include the most beautiful park overlooking a lake and surrounded by trees with changing leaves. I should also include that I was a few days deep into the worst sinus infection of my life and he was still able to make me look lovely (not to toot my own horn, it was all Jon)
    For our wedding Jon took the time out of his day to meet us for drinks and go over every picture I've ever pinned on Pinterest (enough said), and go through a very thorough timeline of the wedding day. He did an amazing job of catching every detail and kept everything on track, seeing as we didn't have a wedding planner. We got teasers throughout his editing process which just heightened our anticipation and kept us on the edge of our seats. When we got our photos we fell in love. He captured everything special about our day and we couldn't be more thankful.
    So, I knew just who to call when I wanted to do a fun out of the ordinary shoot. My friend and I had so much fun with this shoot and somehow even though cake smashing was involved Jon somehow made us look amazing. I could't be happier with the three life events Jon captured. I would hire him over and over again. Thank you Jon, I will cherish those moments forever!

    I hired Jon for my husband and my engagement photos and wedding photos. I hired Jon probably a lot earlier than I should have but he put up with me through that time with all my crazy ideas, loads of e-mails and text massages. He was very patient and very helpful through all of the planning process. We did not have a great day for our engagement photos but somehow Jon worked his magic and the photos turned out wonderful. The travel and stay for our wedding was kind of a pain in the butt. Our wedding was on Orcas Island in WA. As much of a pain it was to make sure that our guests got there Jon was not a worry. He went over a couple days prior, scoped out the area and was very well acquainted with the area by the time the wedding day came. Jon is very soft spoken, organized, polite and pleasant to work with. When it came to the actual pictures I was very nervous to see how they turned out since I don't think I am a very photogenic person but the photos turned out phenomenal and we are both extremely pleased with the outcome. We have gotten amazing compliments on how they turned out and we owe that all to Jon! I would recommend him to anyone!

    Jon is great and easy to work with. He takes great pictures and really captures the couples essence. We were laughing and smiling during our engagement shoot. We have a couple shots where I am laughing like a dork and he somehow made it adorable. We've had a great experience with Jon and can't wait for our wedding shots!

    Jon was great at answering emails. He usually responded to all of our inquiries within a few hours to a day, at the latest. He was extremely nice and helpful over emails. We started out with our engagement session with Jon. He worked with us to pick a great location on the waterfront in Edmonds and listened to any ideas and thoughts we had for the session, including the use of various props. Jon was extremely easy to work with and made us feel comfortable while we walked around different locations posing with people around. The pictures from our engagement session turned out absolutely wonderful!

    After the engagement session, we then set up a package for our wedding day. Jon helped us organize with Amber and Mark for our shooting locations on the big day. His team was on time and very professional. It was easy to work with both of them and they helped us get some great shots.

    Amber and Mark worked really well with our videographer as well. We got our pictures two weeks after the wedding and they are wonderful. We couldn't recommend Jon Kaplan Photography enough and know you will be pleased when you choose his photography services!

    Jon was professional, friendly and created a relaxed atmosphere throughout the whole planning process and wedding day. We just got our wedding photos back and are so pleased. We originally had a May wedding planned that was 2-3 hours out of town, and he was extremely flexible with creating a package that worked for us. Then, unfortunately, we had to change to a later date. He was so gracious and honored our deposit for our new date in July. He even changed his schedule around for us so he could be there. Overall, we got great service and quality photos. I definitely recommend him!

    Our DJ recommended we add Jon to our list of people to interview, she said he was an incredible guy and an amazing photographer. After meeting with Jon and a few other photographers he stood out over the rest, he was professional, very easy to get along with and truly excited to be our photographer.
    Our package included engagement photos, even though we had been engaged for a while. Jon suggested that we just make a day of it as that would give us a chance to get familiar with the process. We had a special spot to have the photos taken but it was a trek to get out there, Jon didn’t blink an eye and was excited to photograph at this special location.
    The day of our wedding could not have been any better. We had no doubts about Jon and his assistant. They were there early and well prepared. They both were amazing to work with and got alone with everyone. It felt like he was one of the family members rather than an “outsider”. After we received the photos it cemented our decision that he was an amazing photographer and we will recommend Jon to everyone we can.

    (This is my review AFTER I got my wedding photos back) So I just got my wedding photos back from Jon and omg I love this man!! Is that bad or wrong? I don't care!!! He did AMAZING!!! He got even the littlest details of my wedding. Every photo I wanted ended up amazing! I am so so so very pleased! Thank you so much again Jon! I couldn't have asked or imagined anything more!

    My husband and I won the photography package that Jon did as a giveaway. Natturally we didn't expect much considering we won it. Jon went way above and beyond any photographers job. Not only did he make sure we got the shots we wanted but he helped out with other unnecessary things. He was so willing to help and make sure Trent and I were relaxed. He even offered to get us food and drinks! He came as a stranger and left as a friend. Him and mark did an amazing job. Thank you so much for everything!
