Jon Eilts Photography

ot our engagement photos and my bridals while Mike and another assistant shot our wedding day. Everyone had to travel for every shoot. The day of our engagement photos, Jon travelled two hours to where I wanted to shoot and we ended up being rained out. He gladly rescheduled at no extra cost! Both Jon and Mike were great at capturing everything I asked for and then some. I showed them few pictures I liked for them to be able to get an idea of the look and feel I was going for and they were able to run with it. What I really like is how generous Jon is with his time and how many shots he takes at every shoot. I had plenty of pictures to choose from and all were of great quality! Jon does great editing work as well if you ask for it. The turnaround of pictures is fast as well! Mike also nailed it on our wedding day. Not only did he capture great shots, he kept us on time and in line. He made sure to capture all of the pictures I had asked when I was distracted partying at the wedding. They were never in the way and worked very well with my videographer. All in all – you can’t go wrong working with Jon and his team! They are fabulous! I definitely plan to work with him moving forward for family and holiday photos! I couldn’t be happier with his work!

asked for. We had such a blast shooting our engagement photos in the rain and he was so creative given the wet conditions. For our wedding, Jon was able to capture the 'Twilight hour' shots for unforgettable photos that we will cherish for a lifetime. I look forward to calling Jon for all our photography needs in the future.

l very comfortable taking pictures. The pictures turned out AWESOME! I definitely would recommend him and his team for your wedding!

avel roads for our engagement photos and he was totally cool about it, then was able to produce beautiful photos. The day of our wedding we had his co-photographer and he did awesome, I had a wide range of photos to choose from and the quality was equalivant to Jon. Overall extremely happy we choose Jon Eilts photography to capture our special day.

perfectly. Not only does he take great photos, you can truly see and feel the couples emotions through his photos. Jon is an amazing artist and I highly recommend him for your special day, or any special event!!

dals into great photos. I wanted my bridals taken at the State Capital and he was a trooper carrying his equipment all over the building and the lawns and even across the street because he wanted to get certain shots. Our engagement photos were equally as fantastic- even being patient with our 2 dogs we wanted in some of the photos. The wedding photos were great- I have pictures of everyone getting ready, the ceremony, all the families after the wedding, and pictures from the reception. The weather in January didn't really cooperate with us, but Jon was able to get fantastic photos of everyone and everything going on with our big day! I highly recommend Jon and his team for photos!

rain showers, he made my bridal portraits turn out flawless. Jon is extremely creative, and can recreate any picture you provide him with. Or, if you just tell him your vision, his creativity can create pictures that you never dreamed were possible. He was always quick to respond and worked around my busy schedule to accommodate everything I needed, which was perfect for a stressed and anxious bride like myself. I am not one for writing reviews, but Jon truly deserves the accolades! If you are looking for a wedding photography that is professional, accountable, and affordable…Eilts Photography is the way to go!

r time planning. Will definitely recommend him to my family and friends!!

cherish the memories of our wedding and are lucky to have the amazing pictures that Jon took. He was very easy to work with and fulfilled the requests that we had. I would definitely recommend using Eilts Photography for any event you have coming up. Very professional and an awesome guy!

Jon was so flexible finding a time that worked for both my husband and I, even with our erratic work schedules. On the day of the wedding, Jon spent the entire day with us and went out of his way to find a location at my pretty visually boring ceremony site that would make the best pictures - even carrying me over a huge water puddle in my dress to get a shot in front of a beautiful old oak tree. Jon is a fantastic photographer and so much fun to work with. Our turnaround time was quicker than I had expected and we love all our photos. Thank you Jon!

oot our wedding but he could have his assistant there and would discount our $3,000 package $1800. He promised that his assistant would still give me excellent pictures and he promised that he would be the one editing all my pictures. I was very upset and thought about canceling the contract but I thought maybe this was a blessing in disguise and would save me some money but boy was I wrong and should have listened to my gut feeling and ran! Jon is a horrible communicator and ruined my wedding day pictures!!! But let's start with my bridal pictures, from the get go I told him I had a very busy job and would not be able to take off during the week and that I would have to take my bridal pictures during the weekend he said ok no worries. He also made it sound like I could have almost the whole day to take my bridals but when it came time for my bridals I started emailing him a month before asking what weekends he had available no responds, two weeks later and my third email I asked him can you please respond which he finally did saying I have a Sunday open and I can only do 10am for one hour! So you mean I have to get hair and make done and drive two hours and be dressed by 10am to get only one hour for my bridals!! $3000 package and I get one hour when at the beginning you made it sound like I can have almost the whole day! He said yes typically my brides only get one hour! Ok whatever so then it comes closer to the date of my bridals I emailed him asking him where would I be taking pictures, he sends me a list of places and I tell him which places I like and no responds I email him again where will I be taking my pictures no response at this point I'm furious and don't even want to take my pictures with him! He made me feel like an unimportant client! Finally two days before my pictures he gives me a place and I suck it up and go take my pictures. Two weeks later I get my pictures they are good but the editing sucked my face is shiny in almost every picture I couldn't use a lot of them cause you could see his equipment and my mom ended up having to edit them ( she is a photographer as well) so i still got a couple of good photos out of it. But now for the wedding! Jon ended up being at the wedding cause the other wedding he had booked that day ended up canceling! He was there the whole day I will give home that! But that's all I'll give him credit for! Do not believe the 14 day guarantee turn around for your pictures, it was close to six weeks before I received my pictures on drop box. I go to look at my pictures and I am in disbelief that a professional photographer took and edited these pictures! I mean my heart was broken and I was in tears! They were super bright and washed out, they were crooked, our faces were shiny, out of focus, there was nothing special or romantic about these pictures! Nothing like the wedding pictures he should us! No special editing nothing! In fact come to find out he paid some someone to edit my pictures! What professional photographer pays some one to edit their pictures especially after he said he promise me he would be the one editing all the pictures! Back to the pictures, I can't tell you how many pictures there were of us taking pictures with guest with people in front us with there iPhones!

everyone feel comfortable. I do wish he'd taken more photos at the wedding (I only have one solo shot of me in my gown), but overall I was pleased with the selection. My main quibble with Jon is that he was extremely hard to get in touch with. The turnaround time on our photos was also slow. We purchased one of his less expensive packages, and I got the feeling my wedding was less of a priority than other clients who were paying more.

g. The proofs of the engagement pictures and bridal portraits were beautiful.
