    John's work shines as true art which our family will cherish. He captures moments of the ceremony and reception working as inconspicuously and as nimbly as a ninja! He was amazing. Our pictures were viewed within a week maybe two. Service and price for this quality is outstanding.

    I have not seen our photos yet, and I already cannot say enough good things about John Hudetz. He was a gem to have around all day and had a wonderful knack for knowing just what to day in order to get a genuine smile from his audience. He was hardworking and a true professional. When there were snags in the schedule, he wasnt waiting around for the action to pick up again, but would start pulling people aside to create more portrait shots or document the moments as they unveiled themselves. When my fiance and I werent sure of what next (e.g., cake cutting), he jumped in with awesome advice for the most lovely shots imaginable. I give him the most enthusiastic recommendation possible. There is not money that can be better spent on wedding budget items than a photographer with the vision, talent and charisma that John has.

    John does really have an amazing talent at taking photographs that will leave you speechless. These pictures were the best I could have asked for, and I really was looking for the best service for pictures. John Hudetz really summed that up.

    John does have an amazing talent to capture speical moments of us. I think those talents are rooted in his sincere dedication to his work and the interests he had.
    He was calm and earnest, sincere but not lack of humor. Time flies when we were working with him. Every time he made us so natural and comfortable to shoot, I know he tried to extract the very natural expression of us and he succeeded. When we looked at those photos, we were full of gratitude for what he has done for us.

    John Hudetz does AMAZING work!!! He photographed our November wedding, and trust me when I say that his work will not disappoint...his style is very unobtrusive, and if you are looking for a wedding album that is not full of cheesy, canned poses, he's your guy. We so enjoyed working with him, and were floored by some of the beautiful, timeless shots he took once we saw our pictures. We didn't even know he was taking them! I have heard over and over that my wedding pictures were the most beautiful people have ever seen, and I have to credit John for that. Worth every penny! The pictures are the one thing from your wedding that your children and grandchildren may see, so this is where I recommend you spend your money. You can't go wrong with John. :)

    John Hudetz did an amazing job photographing our engagement shoot and our wedding day. My husband is very camera shy, and John and his assistant helped him relax and feel comfortable in front of the camera. The results were amazing - I love each and every picture. Choosing my favorites was incredibly hard! I have gotten so many compliments on our pictures. I would recommend John Hudetz to everyone getting married!

    John did an amazing job. He went above and beyond by working harder and longer than I could have anticipated. He took hundreds of fabulous pictures, which has made selecting our favorite 150 images very challenging!

    We would reccomend John and Hudetz photography to anyone getting married. We had John shoot our engagement photos and our wedding and we could not have been happier. The photos were absolutely stunning and artistic and they capured our day perfectly. There was no stress involved with the photography which all brides can appreciate! John made the whole process very smooth and he had some great ideas, suggestions, and advice for us coming from his extensive experience. We have received so many compliments on his work and we were are grateful so have John do our photos!

    John is amazing!
    We genuinely appreciate his professionalism, enthusiasm, and experience in wedding photography! He (and his extremely well chosen assistant) were extremely creative while still getting the traditional wedding pictures that are always desired!

    His demeanor is extremely calming and organized on the big day...which is extremely valuable during the excitement! He arrived early and stayed late to ensure that he was able to provide our family with, what he describes, the "full story of our wedding." Without saying anything, John was capturing moments that we valued. The ease of knowing that he was able to take care of what we needed, so that we could relax and have fun, was priceless!

    The outcome is phenomenal! Not to mention the extremely nice album we are also getting!

    On a side note, John also happens to be one of the nicest men around!

    Photography is extremely important to us and it was one of the very first things we booked when planning our wedding. John won us over the first time we met him and he was very easy to communicate with throughout the whole process. He did an excellent job with our engagement shoot last fall and our wedding pictures turned out absolutely amazing. He really captured the emotions of the day and we cannot wait to put the story together in an album. John was awesome to work with... especially when some unexpected complications came up... and we highly recommend him to anyone with photography needs.

    John Hudetz not only provided a professional photography experience, but a fun one as well. It was obvious to us that John had great experience in what he did. He provided previous pictures that awed us. My wife and I began with what we thought was just a normal engagement pictorial, but ended up being a variety of wonderful pics that made it hard not to share. On the day of our wedding John was prepared with every idea that would make our pictures look better. He was not overwhelming but felt like a special guest on our special day. : )

    We absolutely loved working with John and his staff. We were very happy with both the engagement and wedding pictures. John really has an eye for capturing special moments. Our favorite shots were of candid moments he managed to capture—they really captured the emotions and told the story of our special day.

    Our wedding was an incredible event, and it was made that much more so by having John there to capture those moments. We went on a week-long cruise to Alaska, and John photographed the entire trip. He was professional, inventive with his shots, easy to work with, and we enjoyed his company. The pictures we have from that time are priceless and AMAZING. It is not just the quality of his work, but his ability to capture people and places, that makes his photographs so unique. Looking back on my wedding day, I feel that the photography is by far one of the most important investments you can make, flowers die, cake gets eaten, but your photographs, your memories, are what last a lifetime. I'm just grateful we found John and we would recommend him to anyone.

    John Hudetz and his assistants did an excellent job throughout the entire wedding process. From the time I e-mailed Hudetz Photography until the the time we finished our wedding album order, they were accommodating with their time, respectful of our desires, and organized and efficient in every way. On the day of our wedding, John and his team did a fantastic job orchestrating the photo sessions so we could get all the images we wanted and still stay on schedule. The Hudetz team was consistently personable and friendly in every interaction we had with them. We are so pleased with the artistic and professional pictures and album we have received.

    John and his wife Elizabeth were a pleasure to work with. His creativity surpasses most and his professionalism is exceptional. He always could find the right pose, the right light, and the right moment to best capture my husband and I at our best. Although the pricing may seem high, if there is one thing to spend more on for your wedding it's your pictures as they last forever. Besides, John is worth every cent.

    I met with a photographer representing Hudetz Photography the Spring before my wedding. Absolutely loved the work they showed and was given excellent customer service. My husband and I were not able to go with this company due to the cost for the package we wanted, but are saving up money to have our family protraits taken with them!
