    Loved working with John!

    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 so talented!!

    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.

    John worked with my new fiancé to capture the special moment of our proposal. A destination proposal can be a difficult moment to capture professionally on camera because of the planning that goes into it ahead of time [I live in NC, my fiancé lives in WA, and we got engaged in DC], but John was the perfect photographer for the job! The communication, responsiveness, and professionalism that John displayed from my fiancé’s initial contact with him all the way through the quick delivery of his amazing photos following the proposal, was impeccable. We chose an hour long session with 10 photos and were very pleased with the quality and quantity of time we spent with John and his wife, as well as the quality of the photos that John produced. I would highly recommend John Heredia Photography to anyone looking for a phenomenal photographer who is very passionate about his work, personable with the people he works with, and is truly great at what he does! Thank you John!

    Captured precious moments 10/12/18

    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.

    Thank you for everything!

    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!

    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.

    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!

    I am so glad that we went with John Heredia as our photographer. We decided to do an engagement shoot before the wedding as well. To be honest, my fiance was a bit unsure about the whole idea of engagement shots since he's a bit more reserved, but John made everything so easy. He helped us relax during the shoot and we ended up having a lot of fun - and with several gorgeous photos that really captured us as a couple. John makes sure to get to know you beforehand, and that comes through in the final product. Afterward my fiance kept saying how glad he was that John was our photographer and that he was looking forward to the wedding shots because of how great our engagement shoot was. I can't say enough good things about John!

    We met John Heredia about 1.5 years before our wedding and, after reviewing his incredible portfolio, we knew there was no one else we wanted to work with on our big day. Although we hadn't opted for an engagement shoot or anything else prior to the wedding day, John put us completely at ease and made our photographs feel effortless. He responded to all my emails quickly and was so thoughtful and insightful with his responses to my questions. His day-of skills managing my large, multi-faceted, and often unwieldy family members made the post-ceremony photoshoot flow easily and quickly. We now have our edited photos on a beautifully personalized wooden zip drive and each one is excellent. Everyone I've shown them to raves over how incredible they look. His attention to detail, lighting, and framing really sets him apart from others in his profession and I would highly recommend John Heredia and his team to anyone looking for excellence in photography. He was an absolute joy to work with!

    We used John and his team for our engagement shoot, wedding photos and videography. John took the time to understand what we wanted for both events. Our engagement photos were absolutely gorgeous. He has a great aesthetic eye and made the photo shoots fun and easy.

    We hired John Heredia for our wedding photography and we could not be happier with how the images came out! John is a professional, personable, and patient photographer who captured great moments at our wedding. My husband and I have many favorite images of our family and friends in both formal and informal poses. John was flexible when working with us and always an email away. We were extremely pleased with John Heredia photography and would highly recommend him to others.

    John and his team were amazing to work with. We chose one of the photo and video packages and are so happy we did! Both the photos and video we received afterwards were phenomenal. Fortunately my husband and I did a first look, because by the time the ceremony started, we had torrential downpours and had to quickly move everyone inside. John and the videographers moved seamlessly and were inside, set up, and ready to capture the ceremony. There was a quick break in the storm and John and the team got everything setup within about 30 minutes in two separate locations outside to make sure we got all of our remaining formal photos. Then, just to add more fun and keep John on his toes, there was a tornado warning! What's amazing is when you look at all the photos, you wouldn't have any idea there were any weather issues, everything looks stunning. We received a USB of our photos, and even the USB is a keepsake! It's wrapped in one of the photos from our first look - love it! We're beyond happy with everything we received. and would definitely recommend you get both photo and video!!

    I used John Heredia this past June, and I later received 1300 edited photos in a custom photo wooden Zip drive. I would reccomend booking him early, but he is oh so worth the wait. He was incredibly professional and was always right where he needed to be to capture every special moment. He used the natural light to create beautiful romantic photos of me and my husband. All of my guests were so impressed with him. He was the only one there other than my husband that actually reduced the stress and busy feel of the day. His photos tell an incredible story, and he is an astonishingly talented photographer. Just go with whatever he reccomend, but gave me plenty of opportunities for my random spur of the moment ideas. FIVE STARS!!!

    John was really a pleasure to work with for our recent wedding. He has a great laid back personality and makes everyone feel at ease when he's taking pictures. John also has a very high attention to detail so he makes sure that you really get great pictures. I really appreciated the fact that he's extremely responsive to emails and very flexible during the planning process and on the big day! We actually even had guests comment about what a good job he was doing to ensure we got great pictures during the ceremony and reception. We can't wait to all the shots!

    Like most brides, I was very nervous about finding a great photographer for my wedding. John really exceeded all of our expectations. He's truly a pleasure to work with because not only is he extremely talented but he is so organized and responsive! I really appreciated the fact that John was so accessible to talk on the phone or email about details before and after the wedding. John did an amazing job with our engagement and wedding photos. He has very high attention to details and manages to capture such special moments. John makes everyone feel relaxed because he has a great personality and makes what could be a painful process a lot of fun for you and your family! Every time I look at my wedding pictures, I feel like I'm reliving the day because of what a great job he and his team did that day!

    My husband and I chose John as our wedding photographer after reviewing his website. We both liked his work and after we met with him it was a done deal! John was great to work with in the planning process and on the day of our wedding! When we received the photos we were very happy with the results and the amount of photos we received! John and his second photographer captured so many wonderful moments between my new husband and I and between our friends and family! Our guests loved him and so did the other vendors! You will not be disappointed with John Heredia! Great Photographer!

    John Heredia and his team were amazing for the wedding. He worked with us early on to figure out what kind of mood we wanted for that day as well as types of pictures and number of family pictures. He worked with us to get the best deal in terms of when to utilize a second photographer to save money and still get all the pictures that we wanted in. The number and quality of pictures that were captured were great all the while I never felt like any of the photographers were in our face or taking over a moment. It was all done very professionally and smoothly. Highly recommend.

    My husband and I have just seen our beautiful wedding photos and it felt like reliving the most remarkable day of our lives all over again. What a gift!

    John Heredia and his team are talented people. Simply top-notch. The level of professionalism, courtesy, artistry, and skill is unparalleled. John’s willingness to work within the parameters of our photo budget made it possible for us to hire a terrific professional (without compromising quality!).

    Working with John and his team was a complete pleasure. They somehow managed to get photos of every key segment of the ceremony, every important guest, and every charming detail of the décor, without obstructing anyone’s view or missing an opportunity to capture a once-in-a-lifetime moment. The result: simply magic. The quality and skill is undeniable. The composition is excellent, the colors are vibrant, and the black-and-white images evoke an understated and timeless romance.

    We have taken it upon ourselves to recommend John Heredia to our newly-engaged family and friends. We also hope to have another opportunity to work with him to capture the most special moments of our life together. Based on our engagement photo shoot with John and the terrific experience we had at our wedding, we feel 100% confident that John and his team are the right choice for our future events!

    After a charming spring-time engagement shoot in a park, and a timeless wedding shoot at a botanical garden, my husband and I asked John Heredia to work with us to capture our very first pregnancy. Having had two prior extremely positive experiences with John, we had every confidence that our maternity photo shoot would be a tremendous success! In scheduling the appointment, John was responsive, attentive, and detail-oriented. In conducting the photo shoot, John's artistry and creativity was very much apparent! He took lovely photos of my husband and I, finding elegant ways to feature my growing belly. John even incorporated a pretty little yellow and white lace dress into the photo session (a gift for Baby Girl from my Great Aunt). We cannot say enough positive things about John and his work. He is an artist and a professional - you can't ask for more. We fully anticipate inviting him back to capture images of our growing family!

    Reader beware: this is about to be a glowing review of one of the most gifted photo professionals we've ever had the pleasure to work with!

    After getting rained out no fewer than 3 times, our springtime engagement photo shoot took place on the Friday before Memorial Day (May 23, 2014). John Heredia was incredibly patient with us, understanding that a rainy/gray morning was not an ideal backdrop for our engagement photos. He was also super responsive to our emails, and worked hard to accommodate our busy work schedule. John helped us come up with a photo package that worked within our budget, which was incredibly important for a new couple that was bearing the cost of the wedding.

    John arrived at our home a few minutes ahead of schedule and took the time to familiarize himself with our vision for the photos (at our home and at Great Falls park). His attention to detail, foresight, and planning made for an incredibly effective (and efficient) photo shoot! We were able to get a lot of beautiful photos without a lot of delay and time lost in the transition between poses.

    John is an artist. That becomes apparent immediately. It’s fair to say that there is a certain formula for engagement photography. John mastered this formula and then took it to another level. He thinks about light, posture, location, color, and chemistry all while directing us and managing to take numerous photos using various photo equipment. His ability to multi-task to elevate his artistry is a tell-tale sign of an experienced professional. John put us at ease, made good suggestions. The results were absolutely wonderful images!

    Hiring John Heredia was one of the best decisions we made in the chaotic months before our wedding. We also hired John for our wedding photography (and videography) and hope to work with him again on future photo projects (i.e., new baby, family reunions, other happy occasions). We can't recommend him highly enough!
