About
It's my ability to stay calm under pressure. I've been in this business long enough to understand that keeping a cool head and calm demeanor is often what is needed to work through various situations. I'm there and and will get that shot for you.
I've been taking pictures since I was a kid, I'm doing what I love to do.

We had a great experience with our weddingphotographer! John was professional, organized, and made us feel very comfortable throughout the day. He captured so many moments during the ceremony and reception, and we’re excited to see the final photos!

We ended up going with someone else, but this person was very prompt to respond and answer questions in a professional manner. The pictures we saw in his gallery were well done.

John was absolutely fantastic. From start to finish, he was friendly, respectful, and incredibly professional. He guided us through every moment — where to stand, how to pose, and how to make each shot feel natural and effortless.
He made sure every important person was included, captured all the moments we hoped for (and the ones we didn’t even know we wanted), and created such a calm, welcoming environment for our guests. His presence genuinely added to the joy of the day, and we couldn’t be happier with the results.
We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a photographer who is both skilled and genuinely wonderful to work with.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
With three different pricing plans, I do my best to keep my pricing simple. Contact me if you have any questions and I would be more than happy to work out something that fits your needs.
How did you get started doing this type of work?
For as long as I can remember, capturing images has been a passion . As a kid I was constantly running around with a camera, instinctively drawn to a viewfinder and trying to capture that perfect moment. Set aside the fact that my camera usually didn't have film in them, I felt at home looking through a lens. That passion carries on to this day.
