Your trust and satisfaction mean the world to me, and I’m grateful for the kind words shared by those I’ve had the pleasure of working with.

“John was incredible, we honestly couldn’t be happier with our photos and experience on the day. He worked so hard to get the best shots, he made us feel really comfortable the whole time (nothing awkward and really posed which I was dreading!). The photos speak for themselves”

“Lee and I got married just the two of us in Scotland, and John was wonderful. He was extremely easy to communicate with even though we live in the states. We did a zoom meet and greet with him and several email communications”

“John is fantastic at what he does! From the moment of arriving at our wedding venue he was totally chilled out and relaxed which is exactly what I needed during the morning of my wedding”

“John was a dream to work with to photograph our wedding. From the start he was quick to reply which put us at ease. On the day he was full of ideas for our venue and the photographs came out even more beautiful that we could have hoped for”

Capturing the vibe of your wedding

For me, capturing a wedding is all about telling the story of the day through real, heartfelt moments and the atmosphere that makes it uniquely yours. It’s about the big emotions, the little details, and everything in between—whether it’s a quiet, intimate exchange or a full-on party. With a mix of candid and lightly posed shots, plus a keen eye for location and light, I create images that feel like you and bring you right back to the moment.

All about the details

You put so much time and effort into making your wedding day uniquely yours, and I make sure none of those little details go unnoticed. Between all the excitement, I’ll take the time to capture the special touches you’ve carefully planned—so you can look back and remember every bit of it.

The couples’ shoot doesn’t have to take an hour.

So many of my couples say, “We’re not really the posey type,” and trust me—I get it! I said the same thing to my own wedding photographer. That’s why I keep things super relaxed when we sneak away for 20 minutes to grab some photos of just the two of you. No awkward posing, just a little time to soak it all in while I find the best spot with the best light. And don’t worry, I’ll have you back to the party before you know it—painless, easy, and dare I say, even fun!

Full day wedding coverage
from morning prep to after first dance

I’m a big believer that full-day coverage is the best way to capture a wedding—start to finish, all the big moments and little in-between ones. From the morning prep, when your loved ones see you all ready to go, to the first dance (and all the questionable dance moves that follow), I’m there for it all. Usually, I stay about 5–6 songs after the first dance, but I don’t work by a strict clock—I’ll always check in before I wrap up in case you want any last-minute shots.

That said, every wedding is different, and full-day coverage isn’t for everyone. If you’re after something shorter, I’ve got options to fit whatever you need!
