John is absolutely wonderful to work with. He captured my daughter's wedding day with artistry and attention to detail. From the rehearsal dinner to day-of preparations to a glowing going-away, he managed to catch the spirit of the events, our family and friends. He was always responsive, organized, committed to meeting our needs. We are thrilled with the pictures and with his service.
