Hey there, I’m Jon — NYC-based photographer, woodworker, rock climbing husband &  dad, and your wedding day artist with a camera.

I’ve been photographing weddings for fourteen years, and I still get a rush every time I step into a love story unfolding in real time. I work with couples who care deeply about doing things their own way — who laugh loudly, love boldly, and aren’t afraid to toss tradition out the window in favor of something that feels more like them.

My background in woodworking and alternative photography processes means I see every wedding not just as a celebration, but as raw material for art. I’m not here to direct every moment — I’m here to be present, to notice, to listen, and to create honest, bold imagery that reflects your connection and the energy of your day.

When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll find me making things with my hands, hanging with my family, or road-tripping to places where there’s no cell service. I love the city, but I come alive in nature too — and that tension between movement and stillness, energy and calm, finds its way into my work.

If you’re looking for someone who will back you up, calm you down, and capture what really matters—I’d be honored to tell your story.

Meet Jon

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 highly recommend!

We absolutely adored Jon. Not only is he professional and extremely talented, he is a complete GEM of a human being and a joy to be around. We wanted a more editorial vibe, nothing too cheesy or cliche and he did NOT disappoint.

We were completely blown away by Jon's creativity. He really made sure he got the best photos possible for us. It was such a delight to work with someone as professional and easy going as Jon. I can't recommend JC Lemon Photography enough.

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 wedding date with him to the delivery of our final album.
