Vancouver Island Wedding Photography

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

Victoria BC Wedding Photography

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.

Vancouver Wedding Photography

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.

Top 4 FAQs of Jon-Mark Photography


https://www.instagram.com/jonmarkphoto/

Can we go to multiple photo locations on my wedding day?

https://jonmarkphoto.com/portfolio

Absolutely. I will work with you to design the best possible schedule for including the locations you want while maximizing your photo time and ensuring we aren’t spending half the day in the car. This goes for engagement sessions too.

Do you shoot destination weddings?

I LOVE destination weddings. I’ve shot weddings throughout Canada, the US, Mexico, Cuba, Turks & Caicos, Bali and Japan and would love to work with you to find out how you can have incredible photography wherever your wedding adventure takes you. Shooting in new places energizes me creatively and the bonding experience of travelling together is like none other. Every location and destination wedding is different, whether you’re going to Tofino or Tahiti, so contact me for a custom quote!

Do you deliver black and white photos?

victoria bc wedding photography

A small portion of the images I deliver (typically less than 5%) are black and white where I feel it better suits the image, but the vast majority of images I deliver will be in colour.

How far in the future you are willing you book?

2 years is my maximum lead time for full wedding bookings. Weekend ( Fri, Sat, Sun ) elopements cannot be booked further than 60 days in advance, while elopements taking place on a Monday-Thursday can be booked up to 1 year in advance.

They were coming from Prince George so they relied extra on their incredible vendors to help them bring the day together and it was perfect.

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.

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.
