Vancouver Island Wedding Photography

A landscape photo is better with people in it, people give context, story, feeling.

We’ll keep it real and fun. We’ll laugh a lot. We’ll spend time getting to know each other so when the big day comes, we’re like old friends sharing memories. This is how great photos are created. We’re a team, my photos are nothing without wonderful people in them.

I want to know your story, and have that story reflected in my photos. I want my images to capture not only what you look like, but who you really are. That’s your legacy, when your kids’ kids see images of you and they know your character from your photos.I want to know your story, and have that story reflected in my photos.

It’s true; I have an odd name. It might take some getting used to but don’t worry, we’ll have plenty of time to get to know each other. It makes me smile with pride when my couples explain it to someone who mistakenly calls me Jon; we’re like old pals by that point.

Jon-Mark Photography: The Best Victoria BC

I’m a Victoria BC based wedding photographer and I’ve been capturing memories and creating art for my couples since 2007. Yeah, my first name is Jon-Mark and it’s kinda weird, I credit my Montreal raised parents for the French flavour! I’ve worked in my hometown of Victoria, throughout Canada, and in 7 countries worldwide from Cuba to Japan to the tiny island of Bali in Indonesia.

I’m a Victoria BC based wedding photographer and I’ve been capturing memories and creating art for my couples since 2007. Yeah, my first name is Jon-Mark and it’s kinda weird, I credit my Montreal raised parents for the French flavour! I’ve worked in my hometown of Victoria, throughout Canada, and in 7 countries worldwide from Cuba to Japan to the tiny island of Bali in Indonesia. I’ve shot hundreds of weddings done every which way, and I wholeheartedly believe there are a million ways to do a wedding right; The best way is the way that is authentic to you, your relationships, and your family. There’s nothing I love more than genuine moments with life and energy and laughter! Capturing the joy of the day and making sure you have a blast while we work together are the most important things to me.

My approach is informal & professional: I want you to relax and know you're in capable hands. I'm more of a talker than a writer, so take a look around, and drop me a line if you have any questions! I’d love to have you over to my studio for a drink and get to know what you and your partner are all about.

ELISE & JEFF’S ENGAGEMENT PHOTOGRAPHS AT GYRO PARK

After our first and second attempts at scheduling an engagement session got thwarted by typical Victoria weather weirdness, Elise and Jeff (and me!) lucked out with an absolutely beautiful evening this past Monday night.

SYLVIA & MATT’S WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY IN VICTORIA, BC

It seems to be a recurring theme that I have funny connections to many of my clients from years ago.

With Matt and Sylvia, we were all at Esquimalt High School at the same time and I worked with Sylvia at the Mcdonalds up the road at my first job.

Naturally, that meant that I knew many of their wedding party members too, and what a fun group it was.

We were treated with beautiful weather for their big day on Saturday, and after some photos at Beacon Hill Park, we headed to the Navy base for the Chief and Petty Officer’s mess hall for the reception.

KIM & DAN’S WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY AT THE CITY CLUB LOUNGE IN DOWNTOWN VICTORIA

It’s always fun to encounter a different take on a wedding, a different feel.

Kimdanweddingblog-1004

I first met Kim years ago while shooting her cousin Laura’s wedding which took place just across the street from the Parkside Hotel where Kim and Dan got hitched.
Kimdanweddingblog-1005

It was a scorching hot day, and I can’t say any of us were fans of the “green” climate control at the Parkside that day ( No A/C! ) but it was a beautiful place for a ceremony in the rooftop garden atop the hotel.

MIKE & JANINE’S WEDDING AT ST. ANNE’S ACADEMY & THE FIRESIDE GRILL

This was a hot one. Hot enough that Mike was able to conceal his tears during the ceremony with sweat, but everyone was roasting.

After a beautiful ceremony in the backyard of St. Anne’s Academy, we headed out for photos along the water by the Chinese Cemetary, followed by a visit to Mystic Vale on the edge of Uvic.

Evelyne & Matt’s Engagement in Downtown Victoria

What can I say about these two? They’re cheerful, intelligent, wonderful people with a great sense of humour, and shooting them was a total pleasure.

In traditional Jon-Mark Photography fashion, after an engagement session downtown we finished off with a Pint, this time it was at The Drake.

Oh and I’m pretty sure that bridge is the only one of it’s kind that you can access so easily on the south island, any guesses as to where that is?

AMANDA & LYALL’S WEDDING AT BIRD’S EYE COVE FARM IN DUNCAN, BC

The day before Amanda and Lyall’s wedding, I was lucky enough to get to be IN a wedding for one of my best friends.

That wedding was held at Kildara Farms in North Saanich, and while there the owner was telling me about her friend’s incredible venue.

She said it was another farm property, but with a beautiful purpose built barn just for events, loads of space, a outbuilding just for cooking, and more.

  http://jonmarkphoto.com/pricing-2/


She said it was called “Bird’s Eye Cove Farm”.“What a coincidence!” I said, “I’m shooting there tomorrow!”


 http://jonmarkphoto.com/pricing-2/

And what a beautiful venue it was. Amanda and Lyall’s big day was heartfelt and emotional, funny and all in all totally relaxing.

We had chickens and cows and pig about, and a beautiful old poop filled barn to shoot in.

Here are some highlights wedding photography in Victoria from their big day.
