Jon- We love the pictures! They are seriously amazing. Thanks for helping us capture the moment (:)), and being so patient with us! I seriously can’t get over how cool these photos are. I can’t wait to see the rest of them next week! You are an amazing photographer. I feel very lucky we found you! Hope your week is going well!- Talk to you soon- Julie
A very lucky couple to have their love shine thru in these extremely tender photos. The settings were a wonderful embellishment to a great day of celebration. Much happiness to both Julie and DJ…..mc







Katie Jimenez and I met on the most unusual of terms; a story that I will reserve for only her, Anthony, and myself. Admittedly, I think it must have been all for the best. Once I met Katie and her soon-to-be husband, we could tell all the kinks were going to work out just fine. Of course, there was the LaCaro connection, but I believe it was much more than that. I was very honored to shoot photos of Katie and Anthony mostly because of Katie’s love for photography and the significance that she held for her wedding day. It seemed to be a perfect formula for the reason why I enjoy wedding photography, as well. The unique images that we all created during their wedding day are sure to fit in to the “timeless” category that I strive to provide for clients with. I hope you all enjoy the few teasers that have been posted within this blog. And look out, because I think that Katie will soon be out shooting photos of others who are planning their “big day.” Afterall, you should see the size of Katie’s wedding planner binder; it was ginormous.
Cheers to both Katie and Anthony for such a beautiful event….. – jon

People always say everything happens for a reason. A saying that I found extremely hard to understand for our reason of meeting, but looking back @ it all, 10 months after the fact, I COMPLETELY agree! I couldn’t imagine our images turning out any better. Thank you for your time and patience with us, and for incorporating all of my photographic ideas. You have truly captured who we, Anthony and I, and our family and friends. Something that may not come as easy to others. We love you and look forward to continuing our friendship with you throughout the years. Give us about 2 years, we might be needing some belly shots then!
Lata monkey!
Jon,
You are such a very talented, artistic, caring and personable person.
I cannot thank you enough for the way you approached taking pictures at Katie and Antony’s wedding.
They/we now have a very valuable treasure of memories for the present and into the future.
Take care,
Russell
Jon,
These few are amazing. Can’t wait to see the rest. It was so nice to meet you and be your “lens assistant” for a bit. I will definitely recommend your work to others. Beautiful job!
Natalie – and PS – I’ve never seen a wedding binder quite that big. Mine was a mini compared to that!




On August 29, 2009 San Luis Obispo was experiencing one of the gnarliest heat waves that I have seen in recent time – temperatures exceeding 100 degrees. I have to admit, my excitement to shoot with Keith Dunlop at Santa Margarita Ranch that day was less than optimal. So, before the wedding, I got a quick surf earlier in the morning to cool myself down before the big day. Then around 1 pm I met up with the groom and the groomsman at the Johnson Ranch, where one of the groom’s good buddies happens to live with his wife. The place was very cool and rustic as you can imagine. As I walked up to the property to meet the guys, I saw surfboards and wetsuits all over the place. Seems that they had the same idea for day, having surfed the same spot that morning as well. Ironically enough after panning the room for the first time, I saw a few faces that looked familiar. I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised, this is San Luis Obispo and all. Anyway, their humor and positive vibes for the day persevered any uncomfortable heat that we were all experiencing that day. Nick was especially jubilant, not letting any detail distract him from the big day. He took everything in great stride. Besides the stifling heat, my most memorable experience from the day was the speeches during the evening hours. Nick and Michele (and their friends and family) each had some really incredible stories about experiences that they’ve created together; and, some of the most sincere and honest compliments to share with one another.
