Working with Jon was a dream come true. My husband and I really wanted someone that could capture candid shots of us and our guests and make everyone feel extremely comfortable during our wedding reception. Jon did exactly that and more! He and Justin were an amazing duo during our wedding day!! He danced with our guests to get the best shots, made endless jokes to get us to laugh, and just made everything feel seamless and easy. We never felt overly posed or awkward, which was our goal. I can say our partnership was one of vendor/client, that swiftly changed to friendship and the credit goes to Jon for making that happen so easily. Would recommend him 10000% to anyone looking to have a fun time capturing blissful moments of their lives!!

We were so thrilled with Jon and how he captured to joy, love and excitement of our big day in his photos. We couldn’t have asked for better pictures. On top of that, Jon was great to work with - easygoing but organized, ghee gathered all the information he needed about us and our relationship as we communicated during the months leading up to the big day. Our guests raved about Jon and stated how he was always there when needed. Some of our guests thought he was a friend of ours - that’s how warm and sociable he was with everyone. Highly recommend!

Thank you so much Frank! It was a pleasure being there for you and Peter and your friends & family

Jon made our wedding day so special. We just received our pictures and could not be happier! I’ve been to weddings where photographers were so in your face and physically running into you to get good pictures. I was so relieved that wasn’t how Jon operates. Everyone commented that day on how amazing Jon was. He made everyone feel comfortable and somehow got such amazing pictures with his calm approach. He has been the photographer for me and both of my sisters. All 3 of us would highly recommend him to anyone! You will be in great hands with him!
Response from the Vendor on 02/02/2023
Mia, thank you so much!! I feel like part of the family at this point haha. It's been such a pleasure to photograph so many meaningful moments for y'all
Any questions?

I could not recommend Jon Lemon more highly as a wedding photographer. He was a delight to work with - well-organized, highly responsive, friendly, accommodating, and extremely chill. Plus, the photos were gorgeous, colorful, bright, and full of joy. He has a true gift for capturing people’s expressions (especially on the dance floor) which made going through our photo album truly feel like reliving our wedding day alongside our friends and family.
5/02/2022 • Katerina W
We absolutely loved working with Jon! He is so easy-going, warm, and makes you feel completely ease. He was such a huge with all of our families (even counting in German for the photos with the German side of the family) and the bridal party! Our initial preview photos have been stunning and we cannot wait to see the rest! Easily one of the best decisions we made in the wedding planning process! Thanks so much, Jon!

We worked with Jon for our civil wedding photos in Brooklyn Heights and couldn't be happier with the whole process. From the moment we got in touch with him for the first time until the handoff of all the photos, the experience was seamless. His extremely organised work methodology made everything smooth and easy.
We spent two hours with him walking around Brooklyn Heights and DUMBO, and the result was a great variety of photos. Jon's got a special eye for lighting, composition and editing. On top of everything, his personality while working made it possible for us to act natural in front of the camera.
100% recommend working with him. It will be fun and the final edits will be memorable.

We are so thrilled that we chose Jon to photograph our Central Park elopement! From our very first chat, Jon was communicative, prompt, easygoing, and fun. We had a blast taking pictures with him; he put us at ease, helped us relax, and made the whole experience memorable and fun. He even went above and beyond; when we were thrown a last minute curveball with our post-ceremony dinner plans, Jon helped us troubleshoot, and ultimately spent more time with us than initially allotted. He was so gracious and accommodating, for which we were so grateful. Ultimately, he captured the most beautiful photos that we will treasure forever - such a great mix of stunning portraits and intimate candids. Given that we had to pivot our big wedding plans to a small elopement, we're especially grateful that we have so many amazing photos to share with all our loved ones who couldn't be there. We recommend Jon in the highest regard!
11/26/2021 • Ashlee H
Jon was absolutely beyond wonderful on our wedding day. We had a micro wedding in Central Park and Jon captured every second in the most wonderful way! On the day, Jon was truly invaluable. He had us in all the right spots at all the right times and took the lead to ensure he captured everything perfectly. He was a true asset to our day and the end result was the most magnificent photos. He is a true professional and expert at what he does. Can not recommend more highly!
11/06/2021 • Jessica M
Jon was absolutely fabulous. His recommendations for our florist and officiant were spot on. He was receptive to our ideas regarding photos and brought creativity and joy to the day. He blended into the ceremony and reception and caught wonderful moments. Our photos turned out amazing and we're so glad he was there on our day.
10/27/2021 • Kait A
Highly recommend!! Jon captured our intimate family church ceremony and the photographs are gorgeous. He truly listened to my requests and captured the candid moments. We will cherish these New York City photos forever.
Response from the Vendor on 10/29/2021
Thanks for the lovely review, Kait! I had so much fun being along for the ride with y'all
7/20/2021 • Carolina O
We absolutely adore the photos of our small, intimate wedding. Jon was excellent at helping us relax during our photo sessions (we're not the most extroverted couple). He was super accommodating with all our requests. And with a small guest list of five, he was so exceptionally friendly and professional with our loved ones. He also went the extra mile at times like helping us find a lost guest in the park. We couldn't recommend Jon enough!
Response from the Vendor on 07/20/2021
Thank you so much for the lovely review!

Jon was simply a pleasure to work with and everything we were looking for in a photographer for our Coney Island boardwalk wedding. His artistic eye was on point and it was fun to watch him see art and awesome shot set ups all around us. He is extremely personable and friendly; it really was like hanging out with an old friend who is extremely talented! I can’t wait to see everything he captured that day! I would highly recommend his services!
Response from the Vendor on 06/22/2021
Thank you Michele! It was a treat to spend time with y'all and document your wonderful Coney Island celebration
11/18/2020 • Joanna H
We hired Jon to photograph our wedding in May which we ended up having to cancel due to the pandemic. We still wanted beautiful photos to celebrate our marriage and Jon was amazingly flexible about changing the plan. We did a photo shoot with him in October around Brooklyn Heights and Brooklyn Bridge Park and could not be happier with the results! All of our friends and family keep saying how "us" the pictures are. The details of each photo are beautiful - from great angles to perfect lighting, Jon knew exactly where to pose us and was super fun and friendly to be with. Highly recommend!
Response from the Vendor on 07/20/2021
Thanks for the lovely review! It was a pleasure

Jon was absolute perfection!!! Our engagement photo session was so much fun, we never stopped laughing. It was also a great time to get to know each other so by the time of the wedding having Jon around was like having a good friend by our side the entire day. Our photos turned out perfectly. Every special moment was captured, we looked beautiful in the photos, and he also captured our personalities so well. He was also a delight to work with on the logistics. Couldn’t have asked for a better wedding photographer!!
11/11/2019 • gianna s
Jon had photographed both my wedding & engagement party this past year. he made everything so easy for us. my husband & i are not the best at taking pictures but Jon made everything feel fun ! he got such great shots of us at our wedding- we love all the actions shots from the dance floor! Jon was extremely prompt about keeping us updated, making sure we had enough time at our wedding but still enough time to take pictures, & also making sure we got our pictures in a timely manner afterwards. could not have asked for a better photographer!
11/04/2019 • Amy A
JC Lemon was the most important part of my entire city hall wedding (besides my bride and family of course)! The moments he captured were so candid, so precious, and simply perfect. There isn’t a single picture we don’t LOVE. Not only is he a skilled and creative photographer, he is such a great and positive person! He helped facilitate the city hall process, kept our group together, and made a special day truly sparkle!
10/23/2019 • Robin F
We cannot express enough how happy we are that we chose Jon to capture our wedding. From the time we booked, to the end of our wedding day, he made us feel at ease and gave us just the right amount of direction. That was even before we received his amazing pictures of the day! He made us feel so comfortable. As he captured our wedding reception, Jon very carefully tended to the style that we wanted and personalized things throughout. The pictures are amazing and are a perfect memory for our day. You will not regret hiring Jon:)
9/11/2019 • Meghan L
There are no words for the awesome work Jon does! From the moment we met him we felt completely comfortable knowing he would be able to capture us exactly how we wanted! His ease and calmness left everyone feeling so comfortable and relaxed during a very long wedding day! He goes above and beyond to catch all the right moments. It was a pleasure to work with JC Lemon and would recommend them to anyone! A bunch of our guests even commented on how non-intrusive the photographers were and that it made them feel like they could just relax and have fun! An amazing photographer!
9/07/2019 • Anne C
It was an absolute pleasure to have Jon as our photographer at our wedding in May. He was incredibly supportive and thoughtful throughout the process. He did an engagement photoshoot with us in our favorite neighborhoods of Brooklyn. He helped us think through logistics for the big day to make sure we got all our favorite moments (and people!) captured. He asked for our guidance and perspective so that the photos and memories he captured were exactly what we wanted from the day of. He was also communicative and thoughtful throughout the process - sending us tips & tricks and prep emails to get us pumped up.
Most importantly, the photos he took were beautiful. They captured the day in exquisite detail with shots that we will cherish for many years to come. We have already filled our apartment with his photos and are looking forward to his stunning photobook that will be coming soon.
Thank you Jon for capturing our wedding day perfectly and being a supportive and enthusiastic part of our wedding!
7/16/2019 • Stephen W
Jon is wonderful art director, photographer and guide to New York. He's also an awesome human being. We shared a wonderful day with him capturing moments from our wedding day in Brooklyn, City Hall and Grand Central Station. Thanks Jon.
6/04/2019 • Alicia R
Jon is incredible. He is a fantastic photographer, producing not only amazing pictures but he also made sure that we were relaxed, comfortable and having fun on our big day!! We couldn't have been happier with Jon as our photographer, can we do it all again? Seriously, he is amazing to work with and made our wedding an absolute dream! Trying to narrow down our favourite has been so difficult, because they're just all so damn good! Seriously, what are you waiting for? Quickly contact Jon before he books out!
Response from the Vendor on 07/20/2021
Thank you for the glowing review! Y'all had an amazing day and it was a pleasure to document everything
1/03/2019 • Alexis M
This review is woefully overdue, considering that JC Lemon Photography was truly the best choice we made of all vendors for our wedding. We've never taken professional photos before and didn't take engagement photos, so we were a bit nervous how we'd feel taking formal photos on our big day. Jon felt more like a wedding guest than a photographer and he made us, and our entire bridal party and family, feel completely comfortable. Jon and his team were never invasive or pushy--and being that we've personally been bridesmaids/groomsmen many times over, we know how incredibly rare this is in a wedding photog. Our photos came our gorgeous--both our posed portraits and the awesome candid shots that were captured.
We were also grateful to Jon's communication and organization leading up to the wedding day--as those getting married will understand, planning a wedding is a huge feat and there are so many moving pieces and details to consider. I consider myself an extremely organized person, but Jon kept us on track for major decisions we needed to make and helped us set a schedule the day of, which was invaluable. We spoke to him many times throughout the process so that by the time our wedding day came, he felt like a friend and we knew we could rely on him.
Thank you again Jon and Jared for making the memories of our big day exactly what we could have hoped for and so special!! Everyone should seriously hire JC Lemon.
Response from the Vendor on 01/04/2019
Thank you so much for the awesome words! Y'all were a joy to be around, and such an honor to provide you with meaningful photos you'll always treasure!
12/21/2018 • Kellie M
Jon was absolutely amazing!! I loved his pictures from his website and knew that I needed to have him capture my wedding day! Everyone that attended raved about him! He made everything run so smoothly! We will definitely be using him for any photography in the future.
12/13/2018 • Gianna D
Jon is an awesome photographer ! He photographed our engagement party, my fiancé & I were so nervous because we get very awkward during pictures but Jon made us feel extremely comfortable. The picture came out amazing & we are more than pleased! We ended up hiring Jon for our wedding too & he is the perfect person to have capture our special day
11/25/2018 • Jessica S
Jon has to be the most talented wedding photographer around. We instantly fell in love with his work from his website, and knew that if our day was captured half as beautifully as his other clients — we would be thrilled.
The process of working together, leading up to and after our big day, was seamless. We felt perfectly in the loop with every step — knowing what to expect and when, while never feeling overwhelmed.
On the day of, Jon blended in immediately with his incredible “bedside manner” and was able to make everyone smile super big (which isn’t always easy… lookin’ at you Uncle Larry).
He took the time to get to know us and incorporated everything we had hoped for (and everything we didn’t know we wanted!) in the final product.
We’re forever grateful for the priceless moments Jon captured for us and our families. We have recommended him to everyone we know, and once you work with him, you’ll do the same.
Response from the Vendor on 11/29/2018
Wow thank you so much! Such a pleasure getting to know y'all and spend time with you on such a meaningful day.
10/23/2018 • Jennifer O
The absolute best! I could not have asked for a more amazing and attentive photographer. Not only are the pictures amazing, but Jon and his team made the day super easy and fun. You'd be crazy not to go with JC Lemon. Trust me
8/06/2018 • Liz H
Planning a wedding is stressful enough with so many different moving parts. Our photos was one thing we rested easy about because of Jon’s utmost professionalism and excellent communication. From start to finish, Jon was crystal clear about what to expect and when all the flurry of activities were happening all at once the day of, Jon was always at the right place at the right time, capturing all the moments. My wedding day felt like a happy ending to a fairytale and Jon was definitely one of the angels that made it happen! I would recommend Jon to anyone that wants a down to earth and awesome photographer!!
6/28/2018 • Stephen R
We've just had our photos back 4 weeks after our New York City elopement and we couldn't be happier. From the first contact we had with Jon to getting our photos yesterday he has been absolutely amazing. Eloping is quite nerve wracking but Jon was happy to answer all of our questions in the build up to our trip. From the minute we met with Jon outside City Hall it felt like we could just relax as he took us through the process. We've never had a photoshoot before and we're pretty uncomfortable with the attention, but Jon just made us laugh and let us be ourselves. The 4 week wait has felt like a lifetime but it's completely worth it. Every picture is amazing, and they've completely captured how we felt on the day. We can't thank Jon enough, and we would recommend him to absolutely anyone who's thinking of eloping.
6/14/2018 • Katya P
Jon is just so wonderful to work with. He is friendly, unobtrusive, and able to capture those sweet moments of your day that you really wish someone captured with beauty. He is extremely knowledgeable in all things elopement, so he is a fantastic resource if you don't know where to begin.
Response from the Vendor on 06/14/2018
Aw, thanks for the kind words y'all! It was such a pleasure to document your wedding story. I had so much fun exploring the Beekman with y'all!
5/06/2018 • Brad K
Even though I typically squirm and dislike posing for pictures, Jon made everything so comfortable and casual. He was super relaxed and friendly starting from the beginning, when we took photos before our ceremony, and throughout the wedding. I was drawn to how professional and beautiful his pictures looked on the Internet before hirising him, and was pleasantly surprised to see that ours looked the same. Highly highly recommend!!
Response from the Vendor on 06/14/2018
Thank you so much for the kind words Brad! You and Brandon had such a lovely wedding day at Frankies 457. It was so much fun to document your wedding story!
4/04/2018 • Katherine M
Jon was extremely nice and easy to work with during the planning of my wedding. He's very easy going and very responsive over email, text, calls etc. and meeting to discuss our needs. He was very patient with us and while I think we didn't have a clear idea of what we wanted from the wedding photos, he ran everything and delivered a great album in the end.
4/04/2018 • megan s
I could not have imagined having a better photographer for my wedding day! Not only was the final product AMAZING, Jon was such a pleasure to work with from the moment we booked our date with him to the delivery of our wedding photos and photo book. Jon truly has an eye for capturing each special moment throughout such an exciting day. Not only is Jon's work product fantastic, he is such fun to be around and he made the entire process exciting. My husband and I could not be happier with our choice to have JC Lemon Photography photograph our wedding day!
Response from the Vendor on 06/14/2018
It was my pleasure! So great spending the day with y'all and documenting your Frankies 457 wedding!

Jon was phenomenal! He took the time to understand our vision and helped us capture our story perfectly. We couldn't be happier with our photos and with the experience of working with him on our wedding day.
Response from the Vendor on 03/01/2018
Y'all had such a beautiful wedding day surrounded by a phenomenal group of friends & family. Such a pleasure and privilege to document your story!
2/18/2018 • medyna B
Jon is a superb photographer. What makes him even more amazing is his personality. I have never met a person more suited to share such an initmate moment with strangers. In fact, five minutes after meeting Jon, he will feel like an old friend.
He is as thorough, as he is friendly. You do not have to fear with Jon. He takes his time to get to know you and what you want. He also communicates his intentions clearly, and executes them flawlessly. Jon was early (which I love) and always held to (self administered) deadlines.
After all that is said and done, you get a lifetime of gorgeous photos. What could be better?
11/07/2017 • Dannii K
Having John as our wedding photographer was one of the BEST decisions we made for our special day! He was so professional , new all the amazing photo locations and was very easy to get along with , he also provided a recommended 'timeline' for our day which we found extremely helpful!! John is amazing at what he’s does 10 out of 10 !
9/16/2017 • Andrea B
Jon was incredibly thoughtful, responsive, and kind through the whole process of scheduling and planning. His photos are beautiful, and he perfectly captured the small, candid, elopement vibe we were going for. Looking through the photos takes us right back to our day, which is the whole point, no?!
We loved having him be part of our small wedding and dinner. Our friends and family all mentioned how good of a guy he was, and we're thrilled with his work.
7/31/2017 • Patience B
Jon was flexible, lovely, and well organized. For our 'quick' elopement, he checked in several times throughout the year prior, which was really helpful for the planning process. We changed locations during planning, and he rolled with the punches seamlessly. He was a pleasure to work with throughout the whole day. During the ceremony, we even forgot he was there! His turn around time with photos was excellent and the photos are stunning!! Highly recommend Jon!
Response from the Vendor on 08/06/2017
Thanks, it was my pleasure!
7/27/2017 • Kayleigh W
I cannot recommend Jon highly enough! His photos of our wedding were exactly what we were looking for; fun, natural, relaxed and he totally captured the 'moments' perfectly. He managed to find out exactly what our style was early on through Skype chats and questionnaires, and made every step feel like an exciting and enjoyable part of the wedding experience for my partner and I.
Jon took time out of his schedule to meet us and our wedding planner at the venue a few days before the big day to discuss how the day would pan out.
He had lots of insight into great places to seat our guests, where to get the best pictures and the least noise pollution, where to enter the venue from to ensure we didn't cross paths before we were meant to. His valued ideas totally shaped the way the ceremony played out on the day and it all ran perfectly with the most beautiful backdrops and set ups for every photo.
Job was very stealth and inconspicuous, even when travelling with us on the family trolley bus. He got great natural shots of everyone without anyone noticing he was there. For the few whole group shots we did ask him to take, he commanded the group quickly, efficiently and with great humour. Many of our guests commented positively on Jon's work and presence on the day , and have raved about his photos since seeing the finished products.
Jon's follow up after the day is also great; it's like talking to a friend every time and he made the first viewing a real experience for us.
Jon is warm, friendly, funny and incredibly professional; an asset to any event. You would be crazy not to hire him!
7/26/2017 • Cody E
Best photographer ever! I knew our picture would turn out great but I was absolutely blown away when I finally saw them, better than I could have ever hoped for. Jon has amazing skills to make you photos amazingly special plus he's a great guy.

We absolutely adored Jon. He really took the time to get to know my husband and I before our wedding and his attention to detail did not go unnoticed. Not only is he professional and extremely talented at what he does, he is a complete GEM of a human being and a joy to be around. We chose Jon because we wanted a more editorial vibe, nothing too cheesy or cliche and he did NOT disappoint. We recently got our photos back during a special reveal party he planned for us filled with champagne and donuts and it was just perfect. He is so incredibly thoughtful and thinks of EVERYTHING!! Whether you have a specific idea of what you have in mind or are completely lost, through a series of questionnaires and emails, he will get down to the bottom of every detail and put you at ease. There are just not enough words to describe how lucky we were to find Jon. He really has a wonderful eye and takes beautiful photographs. If you are looking for someone that truly loves what they do and takes pride in in their work, stop searching! This will be the best decision you make for your wedding, I promise. So much love to you Jon - you're the best!
Response from the Vendor on 07/20/2017
Thank you so much for all of the amazingly kind words! Y'all were so spectacular to spend time with, as were each and every one of your friends and family that we had the privilege to document on such an important day!
6/13/2017 • Elizabeth F
I can't say enough good things about Jon. He really takes the time to get to know his clients, and does a great job capturing their personalities in his photos. He is very creative, and comes up with great photos if you just let him go to it. We didn't have a lot of specific requests, just wanted him to capture the day, and he really did. My family has looked at our photos, and everyone has commented that they look so natural, not posed or fake. On top of all of that, he was able to capture excellent photos despite the nor-easter that hit on our wedding day!
4/05/2017 • Brady M
Wow! What a great photographer and person Jon is. I never thought we would experience the level of connection we had with Jon when we were looking for a photographer. He truly took the time to get to know us and the things we valued most.
2/25/2017 • Kara B
From the shots to his easy going and driven personality....he was the PERFECT addition to our wonderful day!
2/13/2017 • Matthew & Louise C
Can't say enough about how glad we were that we chose JC Lemon Photography. We travelled to NYC in October 2016 and were married at City Hall. Jon had been great in advance, communicating well, giving us advice about the best times and days to go for our big day as well as how he would meet us. Upon arrival in the US he called to confirm and plans were put in motion, we had read up on forums about what to do but he directed us really well as to what we needed to get with regard to the marriage licence etc.
On the morning of the wedding Jon met us and took us through the process really well, and he clearly had a lot of experience of this, knowing which members of staff were best to liaise with and helping us with the paper work, but was also a really nice guy to wait with, very chatty and fun to be around.
Jon really put us at ease and and got some shots. He captured our ceremony perfectly without impacting or disturbing the process, and then he knew exactly where to go after to get the kind of pictures we would love.He took us over into Dumbo in Brooklyn and knew all the little spots and picturesque backgrounds. He stayed ell after the time he had allotted us and was really good at directing us in the pictures, which neither of us were normally very comfortable with but Jon really made it easy and got the best out of us.
Back in the UK about 3-4 weeks laster he gave us the log in details to our own folder of pictures and it was really easy to extract them and distribute them to our friends and family and get them printed.
Jon is a great photographer, really organised and helpful, as well as a lovely man. Cant recommend him enough to anyone, but especially people from the UK going to NYC to get married and want great pics with a helpful guide through the process.
1/30/2017 • Amanda H
Words truly cannot express how amazing our pictures are! Everyone has raved about them. Jon had great communication throughout the planning stages and on the day of the wedding. We received a phenomenal sneak peak a few days after and the rest our pictures a few weeks later. When we met him in person he instantly put everyone at ease. He was exceptionally knowledgeable of fun niches to photograph in and worked very hard to give us exactly what we wanted. We did a first look at Grand Central and Jon made that time before the wedding one of my favorite parts of the day.
1/26/2017 • A.J. D
Jon was great with the logistics of directing the family to get all combinations. He was notably skilled in dealing with those who were less interested in being photographed in the first place. Finally, and most importantly was the final product - perfectly captured the feel, the mood, the theme, and our memories of the day. My family will cherish these pictures for the rest of our lives. Jon is truly deserving of the trust needed to put in someone to be responsible for such an important task.
1/21/2017 • Sarah P
Jon Lemon knows NYC very well. Combine that with his friendly personality, desire to please his couple, and his photography skills and you have a winning combination. We could not be more pleased with our interactions with JC Lemon Photography. The time and attention we received and the final product all met our expectations with ease. We would definitely work with Jon again if given the chance and we will recommend him to our friends!
Thank you JC Lemon Photography for adding value to our wedding day and capturing the moments in a creative and esthetically pleasing way!
With much gratitude,
Sarah & Mike

Our wedding day wouldn't have been with same without Jon! My family and friends loved him. His knowledge of NYC elopements, calm/cool nature, and joking nature made our day relaxed and fun. We heard about him through a word of mouth referral and couldn't have been more stoked to have him as our photographer.
We highly recommend him!

We trusted Jon to take our wedding photos and I'm so happy we did. We were ecstatic when we received our photos and had so much fun reliving the day. Jon was creative, fun, and extremely patient. He braved the 30 degree weather with us and made sure we were comfortable and confident. Our families were so impressed with him as well, saying how kind he was to everyone.
We have the most beautiful wedding photos and for that, we can't thank Jon enough.

I had a great experience working with JCLemon photography. I wanted candid shots done in a fun and relaxed way and that is exactly what I got! Thank you!
12/01/2016 • Tom M
We had such a great experience working with Jon. I personally figured that a good photographer used good gear and delivered good quality photos. With Jon though, I realized that a great photographer has social talents too that allows them to guide people into feeling comfortable and into taking pictures that feel very natural and maybe even candid. Most of all, I was surprised that it was just plain fun taking pictures with Jon. So, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts, Jon, for the wonderful photos that we will always cherish.
11/29/2016 • Jacqui H
My husband and I had an amazing time with Jon and he captured our intimate wedding perfectly! We were a little apprehensive about being photographed at first, since neither of us feels particularly comfortable in front of a camera, but Jon did a great job coaxing the best shots out of us and captured exactly what we wanted on our wedding day. I can't recommend him highly enough!

It was great working with Jon, both for our "engagement" photos as well as on the day of our wedding. We came into it without having much of an idea of wedding photography, but he helped us define what we wanted out of our photos and we're really happy with the end results! We were both afraid that we'd be awkward in front of the camera, but he helped us relax and get some great shots. He was also very good at corralling our family members to get photos that everyone will treasure for years to come. On the wedding day, we really appreciated his experience (while we were stressing out). Highly recommended - if we ever have the chance, we'll happily hire him again!

Firstly let us start by saying we would fully recommend Jon! We live in the UK and got married in NYC. We came across Jons website which we found really easy to navigate and were instantly inspired by his stunning portfolio! When we enquired he was quick to respond and really helpful in helping us understand his services. We opted for the base elopement package and an additional hour of coverage as we loved his scenic shots and wanted to visit a few destinations within NYC. Jons site and booking service is extremely professional. You get a log on to a portal where invoices are saved, and contracts stored - it was all really transparent and user friendly. We booked him about six months before the elopement and we had contact with him regularly before the day. He took time to get to know us through fun survey forms and also gave us lots of opportunity to shape our photographs. For example he allowed us to Pin our favourite photos from his portfolio onto a mood board to understand what sort of photos we wanted to achieve. Closer to the wedding he called us to say hi, and go over the logistics which was really helpful. Although we had done a lot of research into getting married at city clerks office he was really knowledgeable and double checked lots of important things you need to remember when eloping from abroad! Clearly a pro! On the wedding day Jon was amazing! He Met us at the city clerks office and was so friendly. He was genuine in his excitement for our big day and helped us through the process in the city clerks office, he knew, like, everyone there! He remembered stuff from our surveys and previous interactions and made us feel really comfortable. We were apprehensive about our photos being taken as it can feel awkward and we thought it might be quite tiring but Jon put us at ease, was really good at telling us how to stand and where to look etc and made it a lot of fun. He took us to some great destinations and locations, really has an eye and knows his stuff. We had managed all our locations with time to spare so Jon added another bonus location to make the most out of our time with him which we really appreciated, plus these are some of our favourite photos now! That evening Jon shared two sneak peek photos for us to share with our friends and family which we really appreciated! Jon kept us in the loop and it took about 4 weeks for us to get our photos back. He scheduled in a Photo Reveal session over Video call which was amazing. He made sure we had a drink and then played us his favourite photos from the day over a slide show. He then talked us through everything we needed to know about our online photo gallery and how it functions. We were blown away by the photos. Our family and friends have been wowed by them and so many people have said how unique and individual they are. Our wedding was amazing to us and Jon captured it perfectly, when we look at the photos it makes us so happy and takes us back to that day. Jon is very talented, friendly and genuine and if you have a chance to book him for your big day - do it!! - you won't be disappointed !

Jon is the absolute best! Our pictures were absolutely stunning! He's so incredibly creative and thinks outside the box to make real art, not just wedding photos. I would highly recommend Jon, his work is perfect!

Jon is amazing. His photography is top notch, he's an absolute pleasure to interact with, and the way he runs his business is modern, tech savvy, and efficient.
Right from the get go we appreciated the fact that Jon has his business setup such that we can handle everything online, no paper non-sense required. He responds quickly and is super attentive to your requests. After meeting him in person we were pretty much sold. He knows his stuff, doesn't pressure you at all, and can make even the most awkward moments into a laugh.
On the day of the shoot he was there waiting for us at the City Clerk's office ready to go when we arrived, walked us through the whole process and put us totally at ease. My wife and I were pretty bummed that it was raining and overcast on our special day but Jon was not deterred at all, in fact he saw it as opportunity. He capitalized on the fact that the rain drove most people away from some of the areas we wanted to shoot and captured some great shots. We are super happy with the way the photos turned out! We also appreciated that he already had contingency plans lined up to account for the ceremony running long, traffic, etc making us late in addition to particularly inclement weather.
We can't say enough nice things about JC Lemon Photography and would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone!

Probably the best decision I made for our wedding plans was to hire Jon, he was so professional, so helpful & so much fun on the day & on top of that the photo's are absolutely stunning! Jon captured moments & I didn't even realise were happening, his eye for detail is incredible & he has that rare ability in photographers to capture different styles, romantic, fun, sexy we got such a great mix of these in our photo's.
I can't recommend Jon enough, he's a true southern gentleman even helping out carrying chairs around New York for me! He was a big part of day & added so much to our wedding, hire him!!

We booked our elopement photoshoot at the last minute, but we knew right away that we found our photographer! Jon is so nice and friendly. The outcome was even better than we had expected. So happy we had Jon around on such a special day! <3

Jon was amazing at our wedding. He took beautiful shots, was never flustered despite the couple of challenges to getting to photo spots during the day and fit in with our group seamlessly despite the fact we were a little party of 20. He was also incredibly helpful and accommodating during the planning stages, which was really valuable to us (ours was a destination wedding so good communication was vital). Overall we are thrilled with Jon's work and would recommend him to anyone looking for a photographer in NYC (or anywhere he travels!).

I couldn't be happier with my experience! Jon seriously helped shape our wedding day in such a positive way! He knows so much about city hall and the area and the timing that it made us not have to worry about any of it. He fit in well with our small group and pretty much seemed like part of the family. Overall we were just very happy :)

Working with Jon was an absolute pleasure. He really made us feel at ease and we had a lot of fun taking our pictures. He is so talented and our pictures turned out amazing. I can't wait to work with him again at our wedding reception for our family and friends!

We had a city hall ceremony on a freezing Monday morning and then a day time brunch reception the following weekend. We used Jon for both and we are so happy we did. The first thing you notice about Jon how is jovial and nice he is which makes it a real pleasure to spend time with him. We are really thrilled at how our pictures came out from both the ceremony and the reception. I look at them on a daily basis and have distributed them to all of my family (who also gush over them). The price is extremely reasonable for how high of a quality photos you are getting. He has an incredible eye and a modern, not-at-all cheesy kind of style which I love. I want to get married again so I can hire Jon again!
