YOU’RE NOT PLANNING A WEDDING *JUST* FOR THE PHOTOS
It’s About Honoring The Significance Of The People, Traditions, and History That Shaped You
Your wedding day is influenced by everything that led you here — family traditions, meaningful relationships, and the memories you and your partner share.
Those elements guide the way I approach your celebration.
I pay attention to the interactions that carry meaning and the cultural or personal traditions that anchor your day. My focus is on documenting what already holds importance, rather than trying to reshape it into something forced.
When you look back at your images, I want you to recognize the depth of your relationships, the values you brought into your marriage, and the authentic character of the day as you experienced it.
“Jon is a very talented creative. Each image beautifully captures the essence and emotion of the day, from the big moments to the small, intimate details.”

I’m Jon—And The Images I Create Are Influenced By a Life of Connection, Culture, and Travel
All of this informs the way I photograph weddings.
My perspective comes from learning how people connect — across families, cultures, backgrounds, and experiences — and recognizing the depth that exists within those relationships. Your celebration is shaped by its own history, and I approach it with that same respect and attentiveness.
I grew up in a Taiwanese household where culture, family, and shared history were part of everyday life. Those early experiences taught me to notice the meaning behind the ways people gather, celebrate, and support one another.
As I grew older, travel became another form of education. Experiencing different cultures and communities expanded the way I see relationships, tradition, and the significance behind life’s most important moments. Each place added a new layer to my understanding of how people honor what’s important to them.
A Word Meaning “Beautiful” and an Homage to My Taiwanese Heritage
Formosa (n.):
Formosa is an early name for Taiwan, and choosing it felt like the most natural way to honor the culture and traditions that shaped my family.
Formosa shapes the way I approach your wedding with an understanding of what holds meaning for you and a commitment to creating images that feel personal, sincere, and reflective of your story.
It reflects the place where my roots begin, but also the worldview I have built through years of travel and exploration.
My path to wedding photography was not linear. I grew up in a family that valued education and stability, and I started my career in the corporate world.
Stepping into a creative field meant defining success on my own terms, and that choice became an important part of who I am today.

“From start to finish, Jon was not only professional, but also incredibly friendly and easy to work with. Moreover, Jon made us feel comfortable and relaxed the entire time, which translated into nature and genuine moments captured on camera.”

Formosa Couples Value …
They honor where they come from and embrace the life they are building together.
And most of all, they find beauty in sincerity and significance in the details that reflect their identity. They want their wedding to feel modern yet grounded, timeless yet personal, and they seek photography that reflects that same balance.
I GOT LOCKED IN A MALL IN PRAGUE
On Christmas Eve, no less. Everyone left early, I didn’t notice, and I had a flight to catch that night. Terrifying in the moment, hilarious in hindsight, and a reminder to laugh when plans fall sideways.
I MEASURE COMFORT IN BOWLS
Food has always been a way I connect. A shared meal can be a bridge between cultures, but it can also be a language, memory, and true comfort all at once.
I TRAVEL TO FEEL SMALL
I’ve explored half of Europe, wandered through Indonesia’s islands, and stood in awe of Norway’s fjords. I choose hostels over hotels and public transit over Ubers because I want to feel a place, not just pass through it.
