Best photographer ever!

Well, where do we begin with John... what an absolute star!

We recently used Johns services for our special day. Having booked the venue over 2 years ago, we straight away started looking for a photographer. We eventually narrowed it down to 3 choices, and after further research and consideration, we decided to go with John. We were really impressed with Johns portfolio on his website and social media channels, and knowing he had plenty of previous experience at our chosen venue we decided that John was the right choice for us, and we certainly weren’t disappointed!

From the very beginning, Johns communication was great. He stayed in touch with us as and when required, and as the big day grew closer, he arranged for us to have a video call to meet him and discuss the plan for the day. This also gave us the opportunity to ask any questions we may have and to discuss any specific photos we would like to have captured. John offers different additional services, so you can tailor exactly what you’d like. For example, you can extend the amount of time he stays for or add photo books.

John also offers videography services, which we purchased as part of our package. Johns colleague Warren was the videographer for the day and also did a superb job. Warren was very friendly, professional and helped put us at ease.

On the day, John arrived early to meet with the bride and bridal party to introduce himself and start taking photos of them getting ready, and to take some photos of the venue. He then met with the groom and groomsmen, again to introduce himself and get some photos of the groomsmen before guests started to arrive.

John is a great photographer, but he is also much more than that, he is akin to the wedding coordinator. Throughout the course of the day, John guided us through the various stages, helping to make sure the day stayed to schedule, and made sure that we got some time to ourselves to take everything in. He was very polite and friendly with our guests. John took particular care where older guests were concerned, making sure that they didn’t have to stand/wait too long while group photos were being taken.

Thank you, John and Warren, for being a part of our special day, for putting us at ease, for helping to keep the day flowing, and for capturing all the special moments on the biggest day of our lives!

We can’t wait to see the photos and video; and relive the day all over again :)

Where to start - Amazing

John and Warren was absolutely perfect from start to finish. They made everyone feel at ease and comfortable and are just all round brilliant guys. I had complete trust and faith in both of them one everything these asked (even when I was the first to ever be thrown in the air!!). I truly feel like I’d known them all for my whole life. Then the photos….wow wow wow. They came out better than I could have imagined. John is an absolutely must for wedding photography he is one of a kind and I am beyond lucky he shot my wedding. Thanks more than you will ever know

Amazing photographer & such a nice guy!

5 ⭐ photographer! Couldn’t recommend him highly enough!

John was our photographer and Warren was our videographer for our wedding at Pelham House on 6th May. John and Warren are the nicest guys ever!

We already knew that the Johns photos would be amazing but we were blown away by his professionalism and how lovely he is. John made me feel relaxed whilst I was getting ready and made sure that my family and I knew the running of the day. John went above and beyond for us and even helped organise parts of our day which we didn’t think of. John made sure that everything ran smoothly and made us feel at ease. Without John we wouldn’t have been able to organise the cake cutting at the right time or gather everyone in time for the sparkler photos.

John sent us preview photos the following day which we absolutely love. We cannot wait to see all the photos and receive the photo album. Thank you so much John! 🤍

Thank you for capturing our special day!

We previously met John at a friend's wedding, and we were incredibly impressed with his manner and photograph quality at that stage. It was an absolute no brainer to hire his services for our own wedding.
John and Warren (videographer) made our day so easy and relaxed with their experience and organisation!
The snippets we've seen so far are amazing and we can't wait to receive the photo's and video from our big day!
Thank you so much!

The best!

John was AMAZING! From start to finish, incredibly professional whilst also fitting into our wedding party as if he was one of the guests. Everyone has commented on how fantastic our photos are and how brilliant John was on the day.

A professional, diligent and fun photographer for your big day!

I had the pleasure of working with John and his second shooter at The Ravenswood last weekend. In my role as Toastmaster photographers can be 'time munchers' in their need to get the best shots etc but John and Farah not only took magnificent pictures with multiple group shots but they were diligent in keeping to time whilst making it fun. A joy to work with, I highly recommend John.

Wouldn’t recommend anyone else!

John was amazing on both the lead up to our wedding day and on our actual wedding day. Nothing was to much trouble and he made everyone feel so comfortable & at ease with the entire process from getting ready to standing waiting for the ceremony. He worked closely with our venue to ensure everything ran on time and was there to help and answer any questions we had. 10/10 would recommend John to all our friends and family going forward.

Simply the best

If your looking for a photographer look no further. After doing a lot of research I came across John’s work. After just getting my wedding photos back I’m blown away, John is so talented and I can’t recommend him enough. Even down the small details on the day John assisted with the Grooms pocket squares etc. My guests were asking if John was one of our friends because on the day that’s how he treated us with such kindness and wanting for our day to go smoothly. My photos our incredible and I will be using John for anytime I need a photographer as well as recommending him to all of my friends. If your thinking about booking John, do it you won’t have any regrets. Thank you John, you really are the best.
