Jon M Photography

I found Jon on Unilocal and loved his personality instantly. He did our wedding in June Lake last October and I can’t believe it’s taken me so long to write this. He was very involved, even came to the site in advance to meet us and go over details. He managed our large family on the day of, in a mellow, but direct way, so we didn’t have to coordinate it. He was very easy to work with and we love our photos. We were a little hesitant to pay in advance, in cash, but he delivered just as he said he would. We got the pics about 30 days later and they are very high quality. THANKS Jon

My husband and I planned our wedding long distance from Dallas, TX and I was convinced it would be a stressful, overwhelming experience. Just the opposite! After contacting Jon about our interest in having him photograph us, things could not have gone smoother. He was very quick and responsive via email– even during a busy season and his own wedding/​honeymoon! He helped Adam and I decide on what part of Lake Tahoe to venture to, what time of day would be best with lighting etc.
The day of our wedding was drizzly and overcast, which led to some of the most gorgeous photos! Jon was such a pleasure to work with during the pre-​ceremony shenanigans and helped my husband and I feel comfortable and silly during our posed pictures. But other than those moments– I don’t even remember Jon being there! He snuck through the crowd capturing some of the best candid photos of us, our families and friends. I’m so grateful to have picked Jon and can’t say thank you enough for the wonderful memories (:

Jon M is a very talented photographer! He is also very organized and doesn’t shy away from hard work. I have had the pleasure of working with Jon on several different types of projects, he stays calm and collected and is a pleasure to be around. My husband and I own an Event Business in Lake Tahoe, I first met Jon working a wedding together and the photos turned out beautiful! The clients were beyond happy. He worked with their laid back personalities and meshed with the party, all while getting amazing photos. He also took our family photos, he was great with our kids (which isn’t an easy task! — we have two very energetic little boys :) and they turned out great… the only problem is I have too many to choose from for our x-​mas cards because they are all great! Thanks Jon!

The wedding industry can be kinda crazy and trying to find someone who is kind, easy to work with, and a true professional isn’t always easy. There are so many options! Let me say this; stop looking and hire Jon! I am one of those brides who spends an unhealthy amount of time on Pinterest and reading bridal magazines, it’s easy to get carried away! I had a very specific idea of what I wanted our engagement pictures to look like, and they turned out better than I expected. Jon scouted an ideal location for us, and moved around his schedule to accommodate ours. He was kind, and always went the extra mile to get the shot. Thank you Jon! We can’t wait for our wedding and for the pictures!

My husband and I decided to have a photo shoot in Incline Village over Labor Day weekend. We contacted Jon and he was able to accommodate our request on short notice. As a local, he referred us to the most beautiful beach in Incline Village. He was punctual for our 8AM Saturday morning shoot, and even walked into the cold water knee deep with his equipment for the majority of our shots! Our photographs were beautiful, they exceeded our expectations, and show the artistry of a true pro!

Jon really went above and beyond to help me capture the perfect Proposal. He helped me plan and took care of all the details I would have otherwise completely overlooked, like proper lighting and sun positioning. His communication was great and the end product was even better than I could have hoped. I know have amazing photos of one of the most important moments of my life. Thanks, Jon!

Highest recommendation, worth every dime. Jon M arranged to meet my family (8 adults and 4 young active kids) at a perfect, beautiful granite rock area above Donner Lake in Truckee for a family photo shoot. He had the best attitude and easygoing personality to deal with my high energy family. Jon was very professional, likeable, time-​efficient (i.e., got perfect pictures of the kids even with their short attention spans) — and is an excellent photographer with talent. His photographs captured light and colors perfectly. He had our pictures ready before the end of the next week — and they were amazing. He even touched up a picture that I thought needed tweeking and e-​mailed it to me within 24 hours of my request. He was a pleasure to deal with!

Jon is a fabulous photographer with a one of a kind eye for beautiful pictures. My husband and I hired Jon for our wedding in May and he did an amazing job! We loved the pictures. Jon, along with his staff that was at the wedding did amazing and were very professional. We got our pictures back so fast and them came out beautiful. We will definitely hire Jon again.

Awesome! I hired Jon on behalf of one of my clients, and he sure made ME look good! He communicated through the whole process. When the timeline changed due to weather, he assured me of the schedule change and I wasn’t worried at all. The job was kind of a hassle, and involved driving all over town to a variety of different businesses. He didn’t complain, and even claims to have enjoyed it! :) I LOVE that! Jon’s file sharing program made for an easy download. I feel like I clicked my fingers and POOF magical pictures appeared.
I will definitely be asking Jon to help with future photography projects again! Thank you!!!

Jon M Photography has done both family portraits and business photography for us. We hired Jon M Photography over two years ago to shoot photos of our Trucking Fleet for our Website. Not only did he do all the photography, he worked with me to create an amazing website!!! The shots took place over months and the website involves constant updates. We loved the photography so much, we created a company calendar and enlarged 20 of the Truck portraits as artwork in our corporate office.
He has such an artistic flare! Over the last 2 years, He has made my life a breeze. We know he is always there to update photos and make website changes. His professionalism, talent and great personality shows through his work. On the business side, he is a true professional, trustworthy, fair, punctual (even at 5 am)! Always working on making the next shot better than the first. He is nothing but professional from start to finish! We had specific wants and he was onboard to not only achieve the images we were striving for, but took it to a whole new level. We have received countless compliments from our clients and competitors. As I said, 2 years and running with John M Photography!
What makes a great portrait photographer? It is a collaboration between artist and subject. He has an amazing ability to pull the character out of the person to create impeccable portraits. His calmness and willingness to create That Special Event for you is PRICELESS! We are honored to be on his client list!!!

I had John be the main photographer at our wedding. He is professional, kind, helpful and took some amazing shots.
I have recommended him to several people and will hire him again for any future photoshoots i will ever need.
John is a great guy and very easy to work with. He has a big heart and really wants to make your day as memorable in pictures as it will be in your mind.

We booked John for family photos and the results wildly exceeded expectations. We had a great him in Tahoe, he even gave us local tips about lodging, dining, etc.
I wouldn’t hesitate to refer Jon for any photo engagement. Jon is professional and precise (even with wild kids around!), while delivering a high level of artistic input. My family will enjoy these for years to come.

I Highly Recommend Jon M Photography!
He is professional, a pleasure to work with, and delivers a beautiful product!
In working with Jon, it’s easy to see how hard he works at perfecting his craft and he takes pride in his work.
If you are looking for a photographer, he’s your guy!

I found Jon via Unilocal for some real estate photography in South Lake Tahoe, CA. In a town that hosts a ton of weddings, it sure was difficult to find someone who shot more than just weddings. Thankfully I found Jon because he is an amazing photographer and got all of the shots I needed without even asking what I needed. True professional! If you are a Realtor in the area and want your listing to stand out, hire Jon to do your photography. Will not disappoint!

Jon is not only extremely talented and great at photography, but he is incredibly easy and comfortable to work with. His results and the quality of his portfolio speak for themselves. I recommend Jon and his team’s services without any reservations.

We found Jon M on Craigslist (his prices are more reasonable then ANYONE else we looked at), liked what we saw on his website and booked him for our June wedding. We also got the engagement session in addition to our wedding package.
We went up in April for our engagement session and met Jon for the first time. He immediately put us both at ease (neither of us are very into photos of ourselves), and our photo session didn’t only turn out to be fun and easy, but to top it off we got beautiful photos!
For our wedding, Jon came all the way to San Francisco and was a complete pleasure to have. He was so easygoing and did a fantastic job getting AMAZING photos of our wedding day.
He is quick to respond and gets photos back quickly, he picked up on the style photos my husband and I liked and what we wanted from our wedding album and completely delivered. We could not have been happier, personally and professionally, Jon M was perfect for our engagement session and wedding!

We have booked Jon for our wedding at Squaw in June. We just met him last weekend to do a few engagement photos, as we missed the boat on getting them done earlier! It was snowing HARD (in may!) but the pictures are just beautiful and we couldn’t be happier. Very «us» and very artistic.
Jon is friendly and easy to be around. He has great ideas and makes you feel comfortable — it doesn’t feel like you’re posing for pictures –even though you are.
We can’t wait to see what he does for the wedding! I’ll update then with (I’m sure) more glowing reviews.
