    We highly recommend Channing!

    We spent a lot of time sifting through photographers, styles, and aesthetics to decide on what we wanted and Channing's unique, documentary style stood out to us immediately. We appreciated his his ability to get all of the classic wedding shots, including portraits, balanced with his eye for moments that made our wedding day special. Channing was extremely responsive, easy to work with, and turned around our full gallery extremely quickly. His photos authentically represent our wedding and we are thrilled to have them as memories of such a wonderful day.

    Channing Johnson Photography's reply:

    Thanks so much, Kathleen! I loved working with you and Bryce It's great to hear you're happy with the final delivery!

    Channing is such a talented photographer! We're so thrilled with our photos!

    We highly highly recommend Channing to all couples searching for a wedding photographer. My husband and I were both a little nervous about being in front of the camera on our wedding day. We were looking for a photographer who could capture the day without being too intrusive. We also wanted a photographer who would make us feel comfortable. Channing truly went above and beyond - from our first meeting, engagement shoot and wedding day! We're so thrilled with our wedding photos. My mother-in-law summed it up nicely when she said "every photo looks like art!" It's true, Channing is so talented and has such a great eye. Every time I look through our album, I see a new details - something that I missed before. I feel like the day was so well captured - we have so many wonderful candid shots of the day that capture us and our guests so perfectly. Not only that, we now have amazing family/friend/couple portraits too! We also did an engagement shoot with Channing which was so fun and I highly recommend! We used the pictures from the engagement shoot in our guestbook! Channing is a true pro and we felt like we were in such good hands throughout the process. He's a great person to have on your side at your wedding! Thanks again Channing!! For everything!!

    Incredible Photos!

    I worked with Channing on my September 2022 wedding and was thrilled with his process and the final photographs. Channing's portfolio stood out to me, as he seemed to capture candid emotional moments with an editorial eye. We had initial emails and then a wonderful in depth phone conversation about what elements and emotions were important to me to be captured in my wedding photos. Even though our guest count was small, he gave the entire process his utmost attention. On the day of the wedding, Channing himself was an absolute pleasure to work with and just an awesome personality to have around on a stressful day. He was constantly snapping away and paying attention to every detail around him. If he caught us in a particularly wonderful light he would have us pause for a brief moment, but always careful not to interrupt anything we were experiencing. We received the photos so quickly and were absolutely thrilled with the gallery. Channing captured unique photos which are undeniably emotional, and at the same time was able to do traditional portraits. He saw lighting and reflections that other photographers would have missed. I love that my wedding photos have a raw and emotional quality to them while still being beautiful. Channing created some of the most beautiful photos of me, my husband, and family, and I will forever be grateful that we were able to work with him on our wedding.

    Stunning!!

    I knew I wanted to hire Channing for my wedding well before I even got engaged, after seeing the photos from a colleague's wedding he'd photographed. Channing was one of the first vendors we booked, and he did NOT disappoint! Channing's style is so unique; he doesn't try to manufacture the typical wedding poses you see everywhere - instead, he captures things as they actually happened - the emotions, the messiness, the beauty in the mundane. I'm so happy with how our photos turned out - the candid photos and the more formal portraits are all equally stunning. We'll cherish these photos forever!

    Absolutely Incredible!

    Where do we begin? Channing was absolutely incredible every step of the way. We were blown away by Channing's photos. He photographed both our engagement shoot and the wedding and we are so thankful he was there. These photos will be cherished forever. We really can't thank Channing enough for all of his hard work. It was as if he was in 2/3 places at once. We can't recommend him enough! Thanks for everything!

    Recommend with our whole hearts

    We count ourselves extremely fortunate that a friend recommended Channing for our wedding day photographer. It's hard to describe the paradox of his ability to immerse himself fully into your day while going ultimately unnoticed, but the result is photos that tell the complete, unscripted story of your special day. His unobtrusive style made everyone feel at ease, allowing him to capture our loved ones' personalities and authentic emotions in every shot. Looking at our pictures, which we got back in less than four weeks (!!), it's incredible to see how he anticipated the unexpected and paid extreme attention to every detail.

    Simply put: Channing did not take photos; he made heirlooms that will have a place in our families' homes and hearts for years to come. We cannot wait to share these photos with our grandchildren one day.

    P.S. While we treasure all the special candid moments he captured, Channing also perfectly photographed our families, large groups, and portraits, as well as the venue, ceremony, and all details (invites, rings, etc.) from the day. He covers all the bases while remaining incredibly calm and patient. We recommend Channing with our whole hearts.

    Amazing!!!

    Where to even begin - Channing is simply the best. He captured every moment of our day but never was disruptive or "in the way." We equally love our portraits, candids, and other pictures of our guests dancing the night away. Channing was so great to spend time with during our engagement and wedding photoshoot, which can't be underestimated. We would hire Channing again in a heartbeat!

    Highly recommend!

    Channing is that perfect combination of talent and calm professionalism that is incredibly valuable in a good wedding photographer. He arrived early to scout out the location and get a feel for the flow of the event, he was super attentive to the entire wedding party without having an overpowering presence, and he worked super efficiently so everyone had time to enjoy cocktail hour. His work is gorgeous, and he does a beautiful job of capturing unscripted moments. Highly recommend him!!

    Stop looking for another photographer- you've found the best one here!

    It is rare that you find your wedding photographer 9 years before your wedding, but I did. I found Channing online when I was in college and super into wedding photography. At that time, I had commented on his blog about how I wanted to pre-book him for my “one-day” wedding. And boy was I lucky that he was available for our September 2018 wedding. Channing is a true professional, the best of what I have seen out there for documenting such an important life event. Our experience with him was unparalleled. From meeting with him months out and chatting through our hopes and requests, Channing made us feel like every idea we had was fun and he attacked it with enthusiasm! He was quick to respond and made the experience feel so personal, down to his handwritten thank-you note to our mailbox thanking us for booking with him. On the day of our wedding, Channing was a ninja. He was everywhere and nowhere at the same time; if that’s possible. He integrated so well with our groups that it felt like another friend was hanging out with us and just happened to have a camera catching all of the moments you never even think about. Channing’s photo-journalistic style lends itself to creative and raw photos. He got every secret shot that you don’t plan for, but end up loving all the more. At the same time, he was down to take all the family portrait shots and planned pictures we asked for. One of my favorite moments working with Channing on our wedding day was when he took a step away from photographing for .2 seconds and helped me figure out how to put the corsage on my grandfather’s lapel. It was a sweet gesture that I won’t forget. It made me truly feel like he cared about our day and our experience as much as he cared about photographing and that stood out like crazy. Thank you Channing, for everything. You are incredible!

    Channing is absolutely wonderful! He captures photos and details that you would never thing of. For example, he took a photo of us dancing and in the background he even captured my parents smiling from ear to ear, an amazing photo!!! He remains calm despite all the chaos of all our family members and requests for posed photos. Channing really spends time to get to know you before the wedding; even though we lived far away, he took time to FaceTime us several times to ensure we were comfortable and all set to go. We never felt that he was ever in the way and yet still captured everything. He is so caring that when my grandma passed away I texted and asked if he could send us some photos with all of us...literally the next day he had them all edited and emailed them, this meant the world to us!!! We received our pictures so quickly and SO PLEASED with all of them!!! Highly recommend Channing, you won't be let down!!!

    Channing photographed our June 2017 wedding and was absolutely incredible. Channing has a uniquely calm, gentle and easygoing presence, and as a result, he is able to capture all of the subtle and emotional moments of your wedding day. We loved working with him and having him around, and the pictures we received far exceeded our expectations. They're simply magical. Friends, families, and even wedding vendors have asked for copies of his pictures. Thank you for sharing your talent with us, Channing!

    We fell in love with Channing's photos after looking at his portfolio and we immediately knew that he was the one for us. He was able to capture so many emotions and special moments on the day of our wedding and the night before. He photographed our large, colorful and rowdy Indian wedding like a pro. We're so grateful for the photos and lifetime of memories he captured - they still take our breath away a year later. His style is very low-key -- he instantly made us feel comfortable with him and he blended into the background. We have no idea how he was able to get some of the shots that he did. He's a very special and talented photographer - we wholeheartedly recommend him.

    After I saw a friend’s wedding photographs, I was certain I wanted Channing to photograph our wedding. From the moment we first spoke with Channing over the phone, it was clear that he was going to be a professional, organized, and calm presence throughout the planning process and on the day of our wedding. Throughout our wedding day, Channing felt like a friend we’d invited to the wedding - he was able to connect with our families instantly and make everyone feel comfortable, which made for genuine moments he was then able to expertly capture. We received our photos VERY shortly after our wedding and have been in complete awe ever since - he captured so many beautiful, short-lived moments that we can now hold onto forever.

    After looking at many hobby photographers turned wedding photographers (which isn’t a bad thing at all), Channing’s level of photography is evident. While looking at his photos via his blog, we knew we wanted him to photograph our wedding. He has experience in taking photos for newspapers and magazines. He has the ability to take creative photos that show emotion. Not so much posing, but many candid photos shot in interesting ways! We first met with Channing at his studio in Arlington. We talked about his packages, and availability, etc. He was professional, and genuinely a nice and cool guy! We were also able to look at some wedding books he made for his clients. After meeting him, we sent him a deposit check as soon as we could. Channing shoots weddings solo, and he said that he can pretty much capture every single guest at least once. He showed up to our wedding location promptly, or even earlier I believe. We communicated via email for the schedule for our wedding day so he knew how much time to take pictures of the bride getting ready, as well as the groom, etc. He got great shots of our ceremony, family photos, cocktail hour, and reception. We are very satisfied with Channing’s photographs of our wedding. We got the edited photos about three weeks after our wedding. So fast! As many people say that photos capture something very different than video recordings. I now know what they mean. The photos show great expression and emotion. It is worth the investment. Wedding photos are not something you want to skimp on. When we need photos for other life events in the future, I will be calling up Channing. Thank you Channing!

    We had nothing but a wonderful experience working with Channing. He was a pleasure to work with and really took the time to understand what kind of photographs we wanted for the wedding. His photographs come across as unscripted and really capture wonderful moments from the wedding night. While he is more than happy to do the typical portraits with family members, what really struck us was how well he could capture an emotion or small detail from of our wedding in such a powerful way. He also managed to make himself invisible. We have all been to weddings where it feels like the photographer is in the way of everything. Not the case with Channing.

    We could not be happier with our photographs and the service that Channing provided. We would highly, highly recommend using him to capture your wedding.

    Channing Johnson was absolutely phenomenal. He has such amazing talent and is so wonderful and accommodating to work with. His photos are stunning, and my family and I have spent hours laughing, crying, and poring over the six hundred photos he sent to us (less than three weeks after the wedding, no less!). What a wonderful man and an amazing talent.

    If I could give Channing 10 stars on a 5 star scale, I would. He was phenomenal! To begin with, he is super professional and organized. He was always very prompt in getting back to us, and maintains a very clear website for reviewing your contract/payments, as well as (now) for looking at and ordering photos (as part of the package, you are given cds with all of your high resolution prints so you can print them yourself, but he can print them for you for a fee). He is also very personable, so though I'm not much for being in front of a camera, I felt very at ease with him (it was a bonus that he didn't have us doing all of the typical forced, cheesy poses that many wedding photographers employ).
    Aside from being wonderful to work with, as a photographer, he really is just beyond compare. He is trained as a photojournalist, so he's always looking for the moments of action and/or emotion during the wedding, not just taking snapshots of the predictable "dress on the hanger", or the contrived "bridal party jumping in the air at the same time". What we ended up with were a collection of all kinds of funny/touching/sweet - and real - moments captured on film.
    He was very unobtrusive during the wedding as well. I don't remember seeing him very much, but somehow he was *always* there to catch the shot. Several of our guests were impressed just watching him in action and referred to him as the "stealth photographer". But if they were impressed watching him work, they were even more impressed with the outcome. He is simply a brilliant photographer, and definitely one of the best decisions we made for our wedding.

    Channing is brilliant photographer. He has a photojournalism background and knows how to capture the essence of the event. Every shot came out beautifully. My wedding photos look like they belong in a magazine spread. Everything looks amazing.

    Channing has a wonderful personality. He made me feel at ease with everything leading up to and the day of the wedding. I highly recommend him.

    Channing was remarkable. Such a nice guy. He was so easy to work with. Pictures are what you have to remember your wedding when you are 80 years old and looking back on the past. I loved every picture he took. He is brilliant. He captures everything you want and more. My wedding day went so fast and it was so nice to look st my pictures and remember the moments and the ones that I didn't remember haha. Thank you so much for helping make my day perfect.

    The photographer is probably one of the most important vendor choices for a wedding and one of the more expensive. At any rate, Channing is a steal. He is a truly gifted artist and is humble to boot!

    His photographs from our wedding are displayed on our church's website, our transportation company's website, one of our credit cards, and on the walls of our home as well as our the homes of our family and friends. He took a tremendous amount of photos, was able to really self-edit the collection to capture our essence and our narrative, and we still ended up with SO MANY amazing photographs!

    We are constantly looking back and wondering who these beautiful people are! It's amazing to relive the moments... the cranky family member who Channing caught letting loose on the dance floor, the friend of the family that made a funny face after having one too many flutes of champagne, the Boston skyline out the window at sunset, the tears on parents' faces, the reflections in windows as we waited for our limousines, and our shadows on the wall as we took photos on a balcony off of our reception ballroom. Just beautiful.

    You will not find a better photographer for the price. You will probably not find a better photographer period. And moreover, you won't find a more devoted artist and a better guy than Channing.

    Channing is the best!

    When we were planning our wedding we decided that the one area we were willing to break out budget for was the photographer, since we knew those pictures would last a lifetime. Well, Channing was worth every penny and more! There are three things that set Channing above the rest: his professionalism, his demeanor, and his photography.

    Professionalism: We had to plan much of our Boston wedding from Los Angeles, and so it was a bit of a logistical nightmare. However, Channing was friendly and accommodating from the start. He responded to all our emails promptly and professionally, set up times for a telephone interview, and had us over to his house while we were in town for Christmas. When we were concerned that his photojournalist background might prevent him from taking the best portraits, he recommended another photographer in case we wanted to go with someone with a stronger portrait background. Then, when we chose to go with Channing, he promised to work with us to take the best portraits possible, and they came out simply stunning. We never take good pictures, but Channing got us to relax and captured the "real us". He was exceedingly prompt on the wedding day, worked tirelessly throughout the day, and got our pictures back to quickly and faster than expected!

    Demeanor: Channing has a rare ability to coordinate a large group of rowdy wedding guests into a perfect portrait simply by being a nice guy. We have been at too many weddings where the photographer is rude to the guests, or pushes people aside in order to get the shot, and it leaves everyone with a bad taste in their mouth. Channing uses those photojournalist skills to get the shot without getting in the way of the story. He was friendly and joked with the guys to keep them loose when they were getting ready, and was quiet, unobtrusive and respectful during the ceremony, getting great pictures the entire time! He managed to get amazing photos on the dance floor without ever elbowing a guest, or getting in the way. Yet he was seemingly everywhere. Every time we thought, "Boy, I hope Channing is capturing this" we'd turn around and there he was. He never distracted from the magic of the evening, but managed to create a beautiful record of everything. After meeting him for the first time we both wanted to be friends with him, since he's such a nice, interesting and thoughtful guy.

    Photography: Well, his pictures speak from themselves. He is a real artist, and our guests were simply blown away by many of the photos he took. We had a very fun and youthful wedding, over 80% of the guests were 24-34, and so everyone was on the dance floor all night. This is where Channing's photojournalism background really paid off. He got just amazing "action" shots, and candid photos, of ourselves and our friends being their crazy and fun-loving selves. When you scroll through his photos you can really relive all the excitement and joy of that night, it just comes alive for you. His photos are simply alive, and are so vibrant and colorful, he managed to make everything look as fun and beautiful as it was in real life, sometimes even better! Furthermore, his portraits were beautiful, and while we usually take bad photos, he kept us at ease and really captured us together. We never realized we could look so good!

    Summary: Channing is a wonderful guy, who manages to take absolutely amazing photos without getting in the way of all the fun. We simply could not recommend him more highly. Oh, and he even sent us chocolates for Christmas!

    Channing is the absolute best. He does a wonderful job of capturing moments as they happen, and manages to make them look even better in pictures! Everybody has remarked that the pictures are gorgeous, and that they swear they never even saw him there. I was looking for a photographer that wouldn't try to force us into cheesy poses, and that is definitely what I found. I seriously can't recommend him enough, I would hire him again in an instant.

    Channing was the vendor I was most looking forward to working with. He was the first of 8 photographers we met with, and we kept comparing everyone's work to his- so we knew we had to book him as our wedding photographer. Months leading up to our wedding I was stalking his blog and blown away every time I saw his blog entries.

    Our wedding day was one of the happiest days of our lives and Channing captured all the emotion of the day in the photos he took. We love the way our wedding photos came out- all 1000+ of them. It amazes us how talented, professional, and kind Channing is. I would say Channing exceeded my expectations, but I knew from the get-go that he would be phenomenal- and he did not disappoint. He is definitely one of our favorite wedding vendors and highly recommend him.

    Channing was fantastic every step of the way. From taking us out for drinks at a cozy tavern to look at his portfolio and talk about our wedding vision, to disappearing in the crowd on the big day, leaving us to later wonder, "How did he get that shot?!" We hardly even noticed he was there. He was unobtrusive and laid back, but still on-the-ball, capturing every important moment when we needed him. We are both newspaper reporters, and we knew we wanted to someone who would approach our wedding with a photojournalist's eye. Channing came highly recommended from another award-winning photographer with whom I worked, and he did not disappoint. If you want a hundred artsy shots of the two of you gazing into each other's eyes (or peeking out from behind a tree, as one vendor seriously suggested) this is not your guy. If you want your photos to tell the story of your wedding day, from start to finish, Channing will provide you with hundreds of photos that accurately capture the mood and the moments and the people that made your day special. Although Channing's 8-hour photo package doesn't include prints or an album (those cost extra) he turns over every single one of his digital pictures on an external hard drive, so they're yours forever.
