My husband and I spent a lot of time searching for a photographer and interviewed many of them. John clearly stood out. His professionalism, quality of work, creativity and specially his passion for his job made us choose him for our wedding photography/videography. He was there on time, with a big smile and so much energy that made us even more excited about the day. He is very creative in his photo shots and is very easy to work with. He was in the crowd with the guests and brought so much energy to the wedding that every one our guests also felt like a celebrity that day. He went out of his way to make us feel especial and even when we thought we were done, he offered to take more pictures. He came with us to any location that we wanted to go to and took more that a 1000 pictures. We had so many amazing pictures that we had a VERY hard time picking one over the other. His style is photo-journalistic and very unique. He captures moments that many other photographers would miss! Check out his website. At the end of the day, many of our guests asked for his number.

John did a great job on his wedding video for our wedding. He was flexible and willing to meet with us early and in person to go over details and on the wedding day arrived very early for setup and venue shots.
