John was early for the event to take pictures of the venue and be there as guests arrived. I was surprised and very pleased at the 24 hour turn around time in the delivery of pictures. I would definitely recommend his services.

John and Shaun of Sky Island Photography put the icing on my special day. They arrived on time and were on point when it came to balancing their time with getting pre-wedding photos of my husband and myself. The tag team approach with 2 photographers allowed for pictures from multiple angles. The attention to detail such as ensuring clothes weren't bunched up, jewelry clasp weren't showing, positioning was exact were exceptional! Lots of photographers miss the mark with details but not these two. I definitely recommend Sky Island Photography!
We thank you for shooting our special day.
