About John

JOHN’s Approach

People-focused.
Joyful and upbeat.
In-the-moment and photojournalistic.

Once I photographed my first wedding in 2008, I knew I couldn’t imagine doing anything else. It’s a joy to me to document connections, build relationships, and tell the narrative of your wedding day — from the big moments to the small ones.

An Authentic, Energetic Experience.

My enthusiastic, open approach is meant to help you be authentically yourself every second of your wedding day.

What I’m known for

Staying in the Moment.

While I’ve captured hundreds of weddings over the years, I’ve never captured yours — I always encourage my couples to stay in the moment and enjoy each moment along the way.

Human Connection.

People are the focus of what and why I love capturing wedding days. It’s important that every couple — and their loved ones — feels deeply connected to such a special day.

KIND WORDS

“The photographs are nothing short of breathtaking. …John has an incredible eye for capturing emotions and candid moments, resulting in a collection of images that truly tell the story of our wedding day.

We are beyond grateful to have had John as our wedding photographer. From the moment we met him during our engagement shoot, he immediately put us at ease in front of the camera. He not only captured stunning moments throughout our wedding day but also went above and beyond to ensure every special moment was documented beautifully. We highly recommend John to anyone looking for a talented wedding photographer. Thank you, John, for preserving our memories so beautifully. Your work will be cherished!”
