A summary of my nomadic photography experiences - Weddings, Portraits, Events, Travel, and Merry-making
Thank you so much for the beautiful photos, Jon. You were so much fun to work with; it truly was an amazing experience. I think you should add the shake-face/punch picture…it really shows off your skill!







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!




I met the Leadbetter’s while shooting a wedding with Keith Dunlop at the Presido earlier this year (http://www.jonclaxton.com/blog/2009/02/09/eliza-and-jon-2709/). As the six degrees of freedom would have it, it ended up that Jim and I had a mutual friend in common, the one and only Pat Patten of Toobs Bodyboard Factory fame and folklore (www.toobs.com). So, I’m not sure if Jim planned it this way, but the location of his wedding was conveniently located just minutes north of Morro Bay, and the Toobs Factory Store where it was reported that Jim made some purchases before the big day. When I went to greet the boys for the first time on Saturday, it was obvious that they taken advantage of their surrounding, haven got out of the water just earlier (indicated by the dripping wetsuits outside). What would usually slow a man down in to the state of wanting a nap, Jim still had a ridiculous amount of energy left in him for the rest of the day even after being in the ocean for several hours (maybe there really was something in that pink energy drink he was sipping on). In reality, I am confident that it was a combination of the energy drink and sheer anticipation of marrying the lady of his dreams – Katie.
