John is so easy to work with, and he can make even the most camera-shy (or camera-averse) family members look good! We really enjoyed working with him for both of our weddings (small backyard COVID-safe legal ceremony in 2020 and bigger celebration two years later). He was incredibly accommodating both times we postponed, and we are so grateful he was up for capturing our legal ceremony. We also really liked working with his second photographer, James, at our 2022 wedding. Both worked in tandem to capture some fabulous candid moments and portraits of a day we waited so long to have. Thank you for everything, John!

John is an amazing photographer. He took beautiful pictures for our wedding and made us all feel comfortable with his confidence in process & humor along the way. He brought along a great secondary photographer, and both of their pictures turned out amazing. I would definitely recommend his services to anyone looking for an event photographer in VA.

Very pleased with John's down to earth vibe and amazing eye for capturing the most natural, precious moments. He made us all feel at ease and comfortable, my husband and I were beyond happy with his work. Pricing was reasonable and he worked with us to accommodate for the day. Good guy and very friendly/helpful assistant.

John was such a pleasure to work with from the time we booked him over a year ago until the end of our reception! He was responsive and flexible to our requests, and made our special day run smoothly. As a bride, you're being pulled in a few different directions all day, but John made sure we built in time for all of the photos we wanted. I also highly recommend the engagement shoot - this helped us learn his style and made us comfortable! Thank you, John, for capturing memories to last a lifetime.

My now husband and I could not be any happier with our decision to work with John Heredia for our wedding on 8/4/2018. Going into the wedding, we didn’t have specific shots or requirements. Instead, we gave John a few key people we wanted photos with and left the rest up to him. John and his assistant made us feel comfortable in front of the camera from the moment they started photographing the wedding party at the hotel up until the moment our reception ended. We both received numerous compliments from family, friends, and the wedding party on how great John and his assistant were. We highly recommend John Heredia to anyone looking for a photographer for their special day! Thank you again, John, for everything you did to make our day special and unforgettable!

JOHN HEREDIA IS AMAZING! From the moment we met him, we knew that he would be the perfect fit for our big day. We not only did an engagement shoot but we also had John as part of our wedding day for 9 hours. We both loved how John really captures the beauty of the scenery while making us laugh and capturing our natural smiles. He makes everyone feel so comfortable and has the ability to blend into the crowd and take truly candid photos of our guests. We have received so many compliments from our guests about our photos and how great John was to work with. Not only are his prices affordable, but you make a friend along the way. We are so lucky to have worked with John!!

We can't overstate how amazing John's work is! We used him for our engagement photo session, and for our wedding and reception. First, we appreciated the easy-to-read contract and simple fee structure that spelled out all the details, and included no hidden fees. We got exactly what we asked for before the deadlines. We had a very small wedding, which comes with its own challenges. John ensured that he perfectly captured every moment, so by looking at the album, our wedding has the look and feel of a much larger affair. He took the time before the wedding day to get to know us, and he was always available for questions. All of the guests commented on how great John was! The bottom line is that if you're looking for a fairly priced, attentive and absolutely amazing photographer for any special occasion...you don't have to look any further that John! Thanks, John!

My husband and I LOVED working with John for our June 2016 wedding. John and his team were so professional and a breeze to work with. Having a great photographer was very important to us and John Heredia did not disappoint! Our photos and wedding video turned out beautifully and better then we could have imagined! John was so responsive during the entire process which took a lot of stress out of wedding planning. We are beyond excited to share our photos and video with our family and friends. Hiring John and his team was one of the best decisions we made when planning our wedding!

I cannot begin to say enough good things about John Heredia. We used him as our photographer for both our engagement shoot and our wedding and we were just so blown away with his artistry, passion and overall ease to work with.
When we were first researching wedding photogs we met with John to just get a feel for him and talk about options. He immediately put us at ease and it felt like talking to a friend rather than a salesperson pushing us into things we didn’t want. When we did our engagement shoot he was equally helpful in making us feel comfortable – this was especially huge since my husband isn’t typically very comfortable with posing for pictures. John helped us laugh and enjoy ourselves. I wasn’t really sure what I wanted or expected from engagement photos, but John guided us through them all (even working to have our beloved dog in a few shots!) and they turned out amazing!
The day of the wedding was exactly the same. He helped to make sure all of the bride and groom’s party and our many family members were comfortable in the photos. What was even more amazing is that he was so willing to work with me to create the desired photos. Beforehand he asked specifics about what I wanted from wedding photos, including timing. I have to admit, when it came to our wedding shots I had VERY specific ideas. John made sure that I got exactly what I wanted, and it was so nice to just relax on the day of the wedding and have him make my dreams a reality. The photos turned out amazing, and are such a great reflection of my husband and I, and our friends and families. John is so incredibly adaptable to whatever situation arises or whatever the bride and groom want! He knew how to incorporate the things that are important to us as a couple into our photos, and could totally read us (including when my husband was tired of taking photos at the reception and just wanted to go for a cocktail instead!). I would recommend John to anyone and everyone!

John was amazing throughout the wedding process - coaching us on upcoming decisions and being flexible to meet our needs. The day of he was perfect. We were comfortable with him and he continued to come up with great ideas. He even helped us stick to our list of "definite photos" and ensured that we had the memories we wanted. John was a professional from the beginning and will help make your wedding day memorable.
