Absolutely Perfect!

From our first meeting with John all the way through the final shots at our wedding, my wife and I were very impressed and could not be happier for choosing John to capture our special day. We met with 4 different photographers before deciding, and John was the only one who really did his homework of our venue and how he wanted to capture our day and presented it to us in a very professional and impressive manner. His communication was top notch, especially with all the changes COVID threw at us. His ideas/suggestions regarding best locations/poses for pics turned out to be perfect as we have already received 6 teaser pics only 2 days after our wedding that look amazing! My wife and I could not be more pleased with John and his team, and I know we will recommend them to friends, and we will use them again for any future professional photography needs! Overall, an A++ experience.

Anniversary Photo Shoot

John and Bernie are an amazing team! There was an uninvited guest at my wedding in October 2022, Hurricane Ian. Unfortunately, the beautiful bayside sunset pictures my wife and I had planned were no longer able to be done (along with other pictures around the waterfront venue). We decided to book a bridal session with John for one year later (at a fantastic price!), fingers crossed the weather would hold this time, which it did! John and Bernie made the trip back out to our venue for the sunset pictures we were unable to capture last year. Since we didn't have a schedule to adhere to, we were able to take a variety of pictures on the water, on the beach, on the dock, and even on a boat. They made the experience wonderful, and we felt like we were right back in the middle of our celebration, but celebrating in private. The pictures turned out amazing and we cannot wait to finally see our wedding album put together by John. Thank you John!

Amazing photographers!!!

John and his team were very responsive, accommodating, and friendly from the start of the process all the way to after the wedding! They are all very experienced, amazing photographers that captured every moment of our wedding to the fullest and made a timeline to make sure nothing was missed. We received our pictures back very quickly, especially considering they hand edit each one! We were so happy to work with John and his team and couldn’t have asked for anything more!
