I had a great experience with Jon and would highly recommend his services to others that are looking to hire a photographer for a surprise proposal. I contacted Jon through his website less than three weeks before I was planning to propose. I received a response within a few hours, had a call with him to work out the details within a few days. Jon had great suggestions for my proposal plan and was able to provide example images of other proposals he had captured at various locations. The examples he provided were very helpful in my planning and gave me assurance as to what the final product would look like. Jon contacted me the week of the proposal to confirm final details and was responsive via text the day of. He was prompt and was at the location at the planned time. Initially was hidden in the background allowing the proposal to still feel intimate and private. He captured great pictures of the proposal, and you would have no idea other people were in the area by looking at the final pictures. Jon exceeded expectations in capturing photos after the proposal. He provided clear instructions and the photos turned out great. The photos were made available to us online within hours which made it easy to share with family and friends. Overall, Jon was responsive, easy to work with, and captured high quality photos of a very special moment. read more

Jon was amazing for my surprise proposal. The pictures turned out incredible, and he was patient when we got stuck in traffic

I came across Jon's website while searching for a photographer to capture my proposal to the love of my life. Jon was very helpful in recommending possible locations in Baltimore considering the fact that I wasn't a local. I was particularly satisfied with the prompt and helpful communication during the entire process. Jon sent us a set of initial pictures less than an hour after the proposal which we could immediately share with our friends and loved ones. Overall, I am very pleased with Jon's service and I highly recommend him to anyone hoping to have the special moments of their lives photographed. read more

Jon took surprise proposal pictures for my now fiancé and I and we could not be happier with the photos! Jon is extremely service oriented and quick to respond which I really appreciated as it took a lot of the stress out of the planning process. The photos were absolutely gorgeous and he will also help you to plan your special day out/help with ideas to get the perfect scenic background. He even picked up flowers for my fiancé the night before so that he could bring them to the proposal for me without ruining the surprise! I can't recommend Jon enough! read more

Highly recommend Jon Fleming Photography! Jon took both our pre-Wedding and Wedding Day pictures. They were fantastic. He captured all our precious and once-in-a-lifetime moments. This was what we wanted and expected. We appreciated Jon's eye and editing work. We definitely recommend Jon. It was a once in a lifetime event and he didn't miss a thing. Paul and Brian read more

Jon was able to accommodate us for an engagement shoot through Facebook messenger. He is very punctual and so professional!

He's very skilled at finding details to capture the day. He even got great pictures of us and our doggy! We are so pleased with the pictures we got on our online gallery! Jon was so quick to send us our finished shots. We recommend Jon to anyone needing to capture a special day! read more

Jon Is amazing. I flew from San Diego to DC to do a surprise proposal. He was very accommodating, punctual and very professional. The pictures turned out amazing and he did a great job. He was very quick editing the pictures and we received them in less than 12 hours. He captured the best moment of our life and I highly recommend him if you are looking for a good and professional photographer. read more

I came across Jon thanks to Yelp, and the reviews did not lead me astray. The photos turned out even better than I expected, and Jon was also helpful with picking out a good spot for the proposal itself. I highly recommend. read more

Jon was extremely responsive, professional, and so nice! 10 star service! read more

I hired Jon for my January 23, 2016 wedding, and it was one of the best decisions I made for my wedding! In case that date doesn't mean anything to you, January 23rd was dead in the middle of Winter Storm Jonas, the blizzard that dumped 2 - 3 feet all over the DMV. Yep, on my wedding weekend (because just having a wedding isn't stressful enough withOUT a blizzard in the mix, hahahaha.) Luckily, I had Jon Fleming Photography on my side, and he was so flexible and accommodating in ensuring he'd still be there to photography my big day. We made arrangements for him to stay at the hotel near the venue for us and he basically gave up his entire weekend to ensure he could still capture every moment. He and his second photographer, Nick, took such amazing photos and I couldn't be more thrilled with how everything turned out. Of course, blizzard crisis aside, Jon also just did a fantastic job with our wedding photos! He has such an eye for unique perspectives, and his ability to capture details is really incredible. He uses flashes and artificial light really well, which means you're don't have to worry about being limited if it unexpectedly rains (or, ahem, snows) on your wedding day. He is super friendly, non-obtrusive, and again, just has a great eye. Just check out my photos if you don't believe me! His communication is great too, sending very thorough contracts as well as a questionnaire before the wedding to make sure he knew all of the shots I would want. And even though I had an obnoxious amount of requests, he didn't blink an eye. He also got the photos back to me so quickly (including an awesome sneak peek the day after my wedding!) Many photographers will quote you 6 - 8 weeks to get your pictures back to you, but Jon sent all of them within 4 weeks. He's a steal too -- snap him up for your wedding, special occasion, engagement shoot, or whatever, while you still can! read more

Jon was absolutely incredible. We booked Jon for our engagement photos and my fiancé and I truly have only the most positive things to say. I usually hate every picture of myself and my fiancé cannot stand to take pictures, yet here we are with the most beautiful photos. I honestly love all 160+ photos we received from Jon. It happened to be 30 degrees when we were shooting and I thought my fiancé was going to kill me but he and I both had so much fun. Jon picked the best spots to capture the cherry blossoms and guided us through the entire process as my fiancé and I are both very camera shy and had no idea how to pose. Not to mention Jon was extremely efficient with our time. In 90 minutes we shot photos at I think 9 various spots along the Tidal Basin (plus we did jacket changes at each spot). Jon told us we would have our photos back within 7 days but to our amazement we received them the following the next day - we definitely weren't expecting that! Last but not least, we are newish to DC and didn't know of any photographers so we picked Jon based off his amazing reviews and let me say his reviews don't even do him justice!! Book Jon ASAP, you won't be disappointed. read more

Jon provided an amazing album of photographs. He is incredibly professional and responsive and I couldn't be happier with the photos

"Every single picture is edited to magazine quality" are the first words of shock that many of our family and friends share with us when describing the wedding photos we received from Jon. I am very particular about the services I select, and choosing our wedding photographer was no different. My journey with Jon began 20 months prior to our wedding at my surprise proposal. I particularly selected Jon over eight other local photographers after comparing their night-time portfolios. Jon's pictures were clear, radiant, and his equipment was up to industry standards, so despite the mist and rain our pictures came out euphoric. After receiving our proposal pictures, my wife (without my suggestion), immediately knew that we had to have him for our wedding. So Jon quickly mocked up some quotes for us, which included (per our request) an engagement shoot, wedding, and photobooth, and Jon was very, VERY, understanding of our needs and accommodating to our every request. We compared his quote to what my sister-in-laws had for their weddings, and despite my wedding being out of the DC area (NJ), Jon's price was the exact same (if not cheaper) than photographers local to the wedding site AND had all the above mentioned perks that the other photographers' quotes did not offer. Jon's style, in my opinion, is one of a kind in that many other wedding photographers, I've noticed, quickly jump to blurring background images to focus on individuals or "blanch" out the colors of a scene. Jon, on the other hand, strikes a perfect balance between this technique and leaving clarity with the scene to bring out the clear beauty of your surroundings. Also, he ensures that the natural colors really come out in your photos, making them radiant and sensational. Jon's professionalism is second to none. I am carefully taking the time to write this review because his work has garnered my respect and admiration. He takes the time to hear your asks and wants, he is receptive to feedback and suggestions, and most importantly he is fresh and was extraordinarily approachable to all our guests. Also worth noting, our wedding was 200 guests, so Jon is able to manage larger weddings and possibly employ the assistance of an additional photographer (as he did for us). I speak with certainty when saying that Jon has gained a friend and customer for life, and I am already looking forward to life events 2 years from now when I will once again be seeking Jon's services to capture yet another life moment. If you'd be interested in learning more about my 20-month experience working with Jon (from proposal to wedding), please ask Jon for my contact information. You can mention the late August 2019 wedding in NJ. read more

While it's not his normal gig, we hired Jon to do family pictures with our dog when we found out she had cancer. Jon did the most amazing job, and captured our little pup perfectly. Everyone got a dog photo in their holiday card, and they did not disappoint. Jon was very accommodating and definitely knew what he was doing. I recommend for the quality and the price. I'd do it again in a heartbeat. read more

I could go on and on about how great Jon is! My husband and I were married by a US Senator and had to plan the entire event in two weeks!

He was extremely flexible and worked with us in every way possible. At the wedding, he knew exactly what shots to get and was absolutely wonderful! We LOVE the photos and our friends and family won't stop raving about how great they are. I would, and have, recommended him to anyone who would listen. read more

I hired Jon for a surprise proposal at Arlington National Cemetery. I am so happy that I did! Jon was incredibly kind and friendly throughout the entire process, and was able to capture the genuine emotion of the moment. His photography skills are some of the best I've ever seen. Jon was very responsive and flexible, even when we had to change plans the night before, he was able to adjust without issue. Jon takes his work seriously and went to the site a week before to ensure he could capture the right angles/lighting. He also got the full gallery to us the very next day which we were very happy about.

Jon is the ultimate photographer for any event. My husband and I eloped in a very private ceremony, and Jon was there to capture the day. I have nothing but good things to say. He was able to capture our day with images we will cherish forever. I cannot recommend him enough. To start- he was early, and super responsive to any questions we had. His professionalism is incredible, and we never felt any hesitation about using him. We went to several different locations for our shoot, in 10° weather, and Jon made everything run smoothly, and made every location look their very best. I am not the most comfortable in front of a camera, but Jon made it easy. He knew exactly how to give us direction for the perfect shot, but never made us feel uncomfortable or like we were on a stage. Everything felt so natural, and he made taking portraits fun and easy. And that shows in the images. I think it's easy for wedding photos to look staged, but not ours. Ours show our personalities, and the joy we experienced on the day just radiates through the images. The edits are not overdone, and are just enough to make the images look their very best. Also, we saw previews from the shoot that night, and had the full collection later that week. I promise the images you receive from him will be ones you cherish forever, and you will be thrilled with the results. read more

Jon did an amazing job and was super flexible with our COVID related changes. He sent us "highlights" 24 hours after our wedding, and sent the rest of the photos less than two weeks afterwards.

I highly recommend Jon for your photography needs! read more
