“Thank you so much for the beautiful Melbourne wedding day photos! They were absolutely stunning and so precious as we reminisced the day together with friends and family. We received so many compliments on the photos too, one friend said they were ‘the best I’ve ever seen’. Huge compliments to you!
We really appreciate your gift of capturing the intangible and the details that make up the natural candid mood in the moments. Thank you for capturing the pure joy and happiness of friends and family. Needless to say, we felt so comfortable with you around and are so glad we shared the day with you.” - Ben & Yin Ting
“Jon was the absolute perfect wedding photographer for us. We knew that this would be our most important vendor and did a bit of research going into this and it's safe to say that it all worked out perfectly. Jon managed to capture the most beautiful and candid moments of our day and we barely noticed he was there which I think is a skill in itself - to be able to get those perfect pictures without being obtrusive or pushy. He has a really warm and kind personality that really put us at ease on the day, it honestly felt like a friend of ours was just there at our wedding rather than just a vendor, and this really allowed us to be our natural selves. We didn't want anything that was overly staged, too many poses or really over-edited photos and so we love how natural and candid the photos turned out to be. The best compliment I can give him is that my wife is usually hyper critical of photos of herself whenever anyone takes them but she has nothing but praise for Jon's photos and feels very justified in her choice! Jon was also incredibly helpful in giving us ideas for our wedding and making our runsheet more manageable with his extensive knowledge. I would 100% recommend Jon for anyone's wedding - he was perfect. Thank you, Jon!” - Jeff & Jane
“Just wanted to thank you so much for the best photos we could have hoped for from our tea ceremony and wedding day! You made us feel so at ease through it all & we couldn’t have been luckier to have a more proactive, warm & personable photographer to shoot two of the most intimate and special days of our lives.
We are still taking them all in and looking through them almost every weekend since you sent them, and I think the more we look the more we see. You captured many moments so authentically, and many moments that we couldn't see ourselves on the day. The funny part is I hardly remember seeing you shooting on the day yet you were able to guide us and be there throughout. Our family and friends are amazed at the photos. Thanks again, we really couldn't have hoped for anything better.” - Jonathan & Katie
Hi, my name is Jonathan, but you can call me Jon.
Over the last 16 years, the privilege of being a photographer has affirmed to me, again and again, that our deepest happiness and meaning is found in the people we love and the stories we tell. In photographing the human connection through weddings, engagements and families, I’ve been blessed to witness something of how we each begin, and how we become. How we hope, even when we have doubted. The hard, and joyful, journey to love. Again and again.
I was once asked during an interview to describe my photography style. Words like “journalistic, candid, natural, minimalistic” all came to mind. But I finally blurted out - “I hope when you look back at the photographs from your wedding day, it felt like a dear friend had captured those moments.”
A friend’s point of view - intimate, organic, honest and heartfelt. That’s everything I aim for your photographs to look and feel like.
If you would be so kind, I would love to be part of your journey.

Kind Words
“Thanks so much Jon, these are so beautiful!!! You are so amazing at what you do and we're so grateful. We have re-watched the slideshow again and again since Tuesday. The photos are absolutely so beautiful, I had tears watching it all again! You're a wizard! Thank you so much for capturing our day so perfectly. Our photos are incredibly vibrant, joyous and full of life and we couldn't be happier with how they came out. Jon, youre so talented, humble, organised and it's been so wonderful working with you!”
“Jon is such a talented photographer, he doesn’t do staged photos – truly capturing the emotions, the love and sheer joy of our wedding. He has a gift in that he is able to get right in on the moment without ever feeling obtrusive or invasive. He is kind and gentle and understanding, plus a Rockstar behind the lens!”
“Easy to deal with and a unique perspective for capturing that special day. The true value is in being able to relive the day, and all its emotion and moments through the images. Highly recommended.”
“Thank you incredibly so! We looked through the photos in such detail last night and we are in awe of your talent and your point of view. The images are so clean and timeless and we reallly are in love! The colours and tones are exactly as we remember them to be, (maybe through our rose tinted view of the day haha) and we love how organic and natural everything feels. The morning photos before everything began have a special spot in our hearts, the light and captured love (and kosmo) are amazing, and as we are in the same place every day, that makes it even more special- a reminder to love extravagantly in the every day.
Thank you, thank you, thank you. They don't even seem enough! haha. YOU ARE A SUPERSTAR STORYTELLER. We are so honoured and blessed to have had you on our wedding day!”
“Jon! Thank you so so much for capturing all these moments. They're beautiful. We had ourselves a cute date night viewing party on the big screen with our favourite dinner and a bottle of wine. It was so nice looking back at moments captured in time, as the day went so fast it seems a blur now! The slideshow brought tears to both our eyes. We couldn't be happier.”
“We absolutely love our wedding photos, they reflect us and the day so perfectly. Jonathan was a true professional on the day; he made us feel really comfortable during the portraits and and we hardly noticed him taking the candid photos during the wedding. Thank you for giving us photos we will cherish forever.”
“Jon, I have just watched the slideshow of our wedding for about the eighth time. Every time I smile so wide (in my heart and on my face) and I get a huge lump in my throat. I just wanted to drop you a little line to say thank you so much - today you have made my day. And thank you for capturing the happiest blur of my life so perfectly and honestly. You are so incredibly good at what you do.”
“Jon has an eye for catching people in the most natural way. As people who aren’t particularly comfortable behind the camera, he made us feel at ease. There were never any moments where we felt forced, or even like we were really posing. We were just having fun, and that really shines through our wedding photos.”
“Jon was an absolute dream of a photographer to work with! On the day itself he was incredible - he took amazing photos whilst also allowing us plenty of time & space to simply enjoy the wedding day. Our photos turned out beautifully & we couldn’t be happier.”
“Brilliant, subtle and kind. Jon ‘feels’ the room. He weaved his way around us so gently, capturing our wedding day more beautifully than we could have dreamed.”
“I could not have imagined a better person to capture the essence of our day. He was great at capturing real and intimate moments without interrupting any of the flow of the day. He documented so many special moments without us even realizing he was nearby. I can still look at the photos from that day and feel like I'm reliving it in the moment. In addition to him being so incredibly talented as a photographer, he was just simply a joy to be around. One of the nicest and easy to work with professionals.”
“Jon was everything we hoped for in a wedding photographer! Kind, attentive and patient, with the utmost respect & appreciation for our special occasion. He captured our wedding with love & with such an attention to detail that we can keep reliving our magical moments for many years to come.”
“Thank you so so much! The photos are incredible. You've done an amazing job at capturing how the day felt to us. We are so grateful to have had you involved with our wedding. We can't thank you enough.”
“Jon was super professional and captured some amazing photos for our wedding. He was great to work with, knowledgeable and knew the down to earth style we were after.”
“Jon was the perfect photographer for our wedding in Switzerland. He captured all the emotions on our special day without anyone noticing that these precious moments were being quietly stored away in the background. Jon was also able to 'pick' and choreograph great scenes that we didn't even realise which resulted in warm, beautiful and natural photos. We were so lucky to have found Jon. Thank you!”
