WOW! Absolutely incredible!

One of the best decisions we made was hiring Bud and Sarah for our wedding photography! Both Bud and Sarah were incredible to work with throughout the whole process - from the initial proposal to the final edits :) On the day of the wedding, Bud brought energy, positivity, and happiness as well as a sense of calm (which we all appreciated so much!!). He captured our special moments with so much creativity and was truly a part of making the day so fun and exciting!!

Sarah was amazing to work with and was incredibly responsive. They are the dream team!

We are still in awe of our photos and will cherish forever!

Bud Johnson is MAGIC!!

Where do I even start with this review- this man is a wonderful photographer and human being! we had a reshoot in Savannah after our wedding day photos with another photographer so bad we couldn't use most of them. Bud was a DREAM to work with. He went above and beyond to not only help us recreate our wedding day, but also got so many shots we never got. He was creative, relaxed, so much fun to work with and the photos were just phenomenal. He worked so hard that day because we ran around all over Savannah and I am eternally grateful for him and what he did for us on the re-shoot. Hire him - you will NOT regret it!

Truly The Best - Highly Recommend!

Truly can't say enough about Bud! We absolutely loved having him as our wedding photographer. From communication, reasonable pricing, willingness to work with our requests, and patient personality, Bud hit all of the buckets we were looking for.

Prior to booking, we met virtually with over 10 top Savannah photographers to describe our needs/wants (minimal, we were only looking for ~4 hours of photography - closer to an elopement package. We used The Knot/Wedding Wire/online reviews to find vendors). We are a "destination" couple and it was difficult to not be able to meet with vendors in-person; we were iffy from our conversations up until we met Bud. Overall, we definitely meshed with Bud the most and he was more than willing to accommodate our interests. On the day of, Bud blew us away. He has a wonderful personality (is definitely willing to laugh with us!) and always made us feel comfortable throughout the day. Our family and friends were so impressed with Bud that they wanted pictures with HIM! We received our photos in a timely manner that was designated in the contract and they're more than I could have hoped for. 10/10 recommend Bud to anyone in the area. Big shoutout to his wife, Sarah, as well who manages all communication prior to the date. She made the process seamless! Dream team.

Bud with Common Spark Media is on the top of my list for photographers that I refer! Every photographer has a unique style and approach. Bud's style is by far one of my favorites! His photos grace my website from my bride Stephanie's wedding in 2014 and I couldn't be happier with how they turned out. To capture your special day, call Common Spark Media!

I have had the opportunity to work with Bud of Common Spark Media on multiple styled shoots and he was the official photographer of my boutique grand opening. His passion for his craft is palpable and he is clearly well respected by his professional peers. He spends a great deal of time honing his art and collaborating with other creatives to enhance his skill and teach what he knows as well. He has a wonderful ability to bring out the best of the individuals that he is shooting. His images are emotive and rich. He is well traveled and the perfect choice for destination wedding photography as well as local venues. I would highly recommend Common Spark Media to captures wedding and special event memories.
