So Glad You're Here
Hello, I'm James Ton
If you're all about good vibes, real moments, and having a damn good time on your wedding day - we’re gonna get along great. I’m a wedding photographer based in the DC area, and I’m here to capture it all: the happy tears, the big laughs, the dance moves that make no sense, and every little moment in between. Your day should feel like you - chill, fun, and totally not forced. I’ll be there for the goofy grins, spontaneous hugs, and the kind of moments you’ll want to relive over and over. My style? Super relaxed, a little romantic, and all about keeping things real.
People Say The Nicest Things
Danielle & Nate
"His candid shots are second to none, and he captures the personality of your guests like he's known them for years."
James loves to work with couples with 'character', so if you're looking for someone to pick up your upbeat quirky nature on film, yet also capture beautiful formal shots as well... he's your man!

People Say The Nicest Things
Genevieve & David
"Our photos are absolutely gorgeous and will be a family heirloom for generations to come."
He was flexible and communicated with us before the wedding, answering any questions I had as the bride, and on the day of the wedding he got every photo that I had requested and so many more memorable moments.

Allison & Oscar
"He really meshed with our elegant romantic theme to our wedding."
We were having a multicultural wedding with a Vietnamese betrothal ceremony before our American wedding ceremony and James captured the cultural and spiritual aspects of both ceremonies very nicely.
What You're Wondering
What’s your photography style?
Candid, honest, and full of soul. I shoot what’s real - not stiff poses or fake smiles. Expect raw emotion, bad dance moves, meaningful glances, and moments you didn’t even see happen.
Do you travel?
Absolutely! Whether it’s a backyard in your hometown or a cliffside in Iceland, I’m in. Travel fees apply for anything outside the DMV area, and I keep them as reasonable as possible.
With your emphasis on candids, what do we do with the portraits?
Although I blend in to capture the candid moments, I will pose and guide through all the portraits. My goal is to create mantle worthy portraits quickly and efficiently so that everyone can get to the party as soon as possible.
How much is your wedding coverage?
The real, unscripted experience starts at $3,500 for 5 hours. No filler, just what matters. See below for more coverage options.
