some people don't like planning, then there's me. i did a ton of research before booking any vendor for our wedding. john's style of photography was different from all the others i was coming across. i loved his use of light and colours. he can go from soft to hard, yet always beautiful. he can take great shots of details, and great shots of people.
i then started reading his blog, and i knew we would get along. i thought he was funny and smart and professional. my husband and i need to feel comfortable with a photographer in order to "pose", so this was important. we decided to meet up, and after a few minutes it was a done deal. he was real and accommodating.
we ended up with an amazing mix of structured and candid images of our engagement and wedding. our friends and family always rave about them, but more importantly, we rave about him.
if these are the things you're looking for, he's your man.
