We booked John for our August wedding after I met him a wedding fayre, I just clicked with him after chatting for a bit. We met a few other photographers but we felt they treated us as just a number. With John, it was so easy to talk to him, it felt like we were mates and could chat about anything.
He put the time and effort in to meeting us at the venue a month before (he hadn’t been there before so it was great for us all) to go though what would happen on the day etc and our photo requests if we had any.
On the day he was an absolute legend, and we had so much fun taking the pictures, we are a jokey couple and felt we had the same sense of humour.
He sent us some sample pics a few days later which are stunning! We can’t wait to see the rest of the pics.
We would recommend John in a heartbeat.

John was our photographer for our wedding at Tewinbury Farm in Hertfordshire in July 2024.

Firstly, John knows the venue very well which was of great benefit to us - he knew where to take the best shots and make lots of recommendations to us of what he could do. He took the time to meet us a couple of weeks before the wedding at the venue to run through the plan.

The weather was a little dodgy at times during the day, John was really flexible ensuring he got the right shots at the right times. He was very good at helping organise people with good humour and many of our guests remarked how fun it was when they had photos taken.

We received our photos back this week and they are brilliant - there was a lot, and he also provided many in black and white too. He took some great 'action shots' along with the more professional family shots. When we look through the photos in order it really tells a story of our day which is really nice.

I'd have no hesitation recommending John as a wedding photographer for your big day.

John is a fantastic photographer who we would thoroughly recommend. We hired him as our wedding photographer after meeting him at the Tewinbury wedding fair. He impressed us with both his portfolio and his approach to understanding our requirements so he could get the type of photos we wanted. We had a walkaround at the venue with him about 1 month before the wedding to discuss preferred locations, family photos and any guest dynamics for him to be aware of. On the day there was a constant threat of rain but John was great at adapting his plan to ensure we still got all the core shots we wanted between the showers, for example doing the bridesmaid photos later on once their children were settled. He sent us some taster photos the week after the wedding which were brilliant and we are eagerly awaiting the full set once he has had chance to prepare those. Thanks again John!

We worked with John for our recent wedding and I am so very happy with not just his work, but his communication, his care and time in making sure he captured the wedding in a style that suited us. I’m not the easiest person and was adamant that there were no swings, smoke or twee shots and he totally got it! Was never offended. From our 1st meeting at his house with his lovely beagles he took time to get to know Rob and I as people rather than just a client. On the day he was so organised- we only booked half day shoot so time was precious and he was so good with the group of people he was herding!
We had our photos this week and I am sooooo pleased. They are beautiful and he’s really captured us as a couple. I cannot recommend John enough.

John was an excellent photographer to have at our wedding. He made us and out gusts feel at ease, and the shots were really tailored to what it is what we wanted. I would definitely recommend him to anyone who is looking for a wedding photographer in the Herts area.

John was excellent all the way, from the planning meeting to our big day, we had no worries, he was open to ideas and his creative thinking shone through on the day, i would highly recommend you to use his service, he’s super friendly and will get the job done. Thanks John. Chantelle & Daryl married September 2023.

We met John at Sopwell House Wedding show this year, he was energetic, thoughtful and put us at ease. We had reviewed a few others at the show, however we decided he was the perfect fit for us.
Choosing a photopgrapher in your mind is no easy decision, you're thinking about quality, price, how will they shoot your wedding, how will they integrate with your guests, and when you are planning a large wedding how will you manage all the group photos etc.
Well, John absloutley had this nailed, we hardly knew he was around, he had this knack of managing all the guests getting them into postion and then setting the next scene, we just allowed him to get on with his job so ultimately we could enjoy and absorb our wedding day. so huge thanks again to John for making our day so special at Sopwell House.

John really makes taking photos easy and natural on your wedding day. He's is open and honest with a great style of working to get those shot you want and those you didn't realise you want. When meeting John he didn't overload us with photos and price. He just spoke to us like we were people. Would highly recommend John for any future event.

We can’t thank John enough for his love and care on our wedding day! From start to finish John has been nothing but amazing and his passion for photography is completely evident in his work. The pictures attached are from our sneaky peek, and we can not wait to see the rest!

Truly a living legend, book him in!

Having John photograph our wedding was like having an old friend celebrate our day with us. He got to know us and understood exactly what we wanted.
He was fun, caring and professional!

Simply the best… We can’t thank you enough John.xxxxxx

We asked John to photograph our December 23rd winter wedding. He was honest from the start and reassured us that although the weather was likely to be wet and the day drab he would ensure we got the photos we wanted.
We were not disappointed.
He was unobtrusive in the church and managed, somehow, to capture all moments. John was also professional, and demanding, enough to get order in the chaos of our fabulous Christmas style wedding day paryt. He fitted in and delivered some fantastic photo memories of the day.
Thank you, John.

I want to start by saying that we are so thankful to have met John at the beginning of our supplier search - honestly can say, it was LOVE at first sight! We met at a wedding fair two years before our big day, but knew that we wanted him to be our photographer from the moment we spoke. His work was by far the best at the fair and exactly what we were after, albeit we were not sure what we wanted when we arrived! He is so friendly, funny and made us feel totally comfortable right from the get go. Throughout the two year wait, he would reply to my random email and questions and stayed in touch.

Fast forward to the race to the big day. We met a couple of weeks before the day to go through our plans for shots etc, and he went through everything, making us feel relaxed and ready. John suggested different shots and locations to go to at the venue to get the best shots - and we are so glad we took everything he said on board.

On the day, it was great to have John there. He made us calm, comfortable and we actually enjoyed having our photos taken, even though we are not usually in front of a camera! John just became part of the day, and both us andour guests loved having him there. He spent the entire day ensuring we had the most beautiful pictures, but still let us enjoy every single moment of the day.

My husband and I can honestly say, we are going to miss not seeing this man but hope our paths cross once again in the future.

If you want the most beautiful, fairytale photographs, the photograph you dream about - then definitely, definitely, definitely check in with John. If I could rate him infinite stars, I would.

Forever grateful.

We chose John to be our wedding photographer after meeting him at a wedding fair, we immediately felt at ease with him and knew he would be fantastic dealing with guests on the day. Looking through his portfolio gave us an idea of what we might expect and he had some gorgeous images so we decided to go for it. We weren’t disappointed. John met us at our venue before the wedding to discuss what we wanted, any family politics, images we particularly wanted, he listened to what we wanted and was enthusiastic about all our requests, putting forward suggestions where needed. On the day John managed everything just as he said he would and we couldn’t have been happier, we never felt dragged away from our guests and we got all the images we wanted and more. The night shots were particularly amazing and we have a fantastic sparkler shot – despite lighter malfunctions for the bride and groom putting this one at risk! After the big day John provided us with some images almost straight away which was amazing, and then kept us in the loop on his work on our other images. He even managed to get our photos finished before Xmas which was a big bonus for us. Overall if you are considering booking John we don’t think you will be disappointed and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him.

We hired John as our photographer for our wedding at Essendon Country Club and we were so impressed with his work, we hired him for our daughters wedding next year!

We cannot recommend him highly enough.

His communication leading up to our wedding and on the big day itself was exceptional. We met several times beforehand and he took the time not only to get to know us,
but also discuss what photographs we wanted and even offer ideas that we hadn't considered ourselves.

On the big day itself, he worked with our videographer like they were old friends despite only meeting on the day itself.

He was a easy to work with and very professional. He made the entire wedding party feel so relaxed and comfortable.

We were absolutely blown away by the pictures he produced. They were literally breathtaking. The detail of the pictures was so great, you could see the individual hairs in my beard!

Absolutely worth every penny and I can guarantee that you will not be disappointed!

Thank you John for recording our day so wonderfully, we look forward to seeing you again for our daughters wedding next November.

John photographed our wedding in July 2022. He was utterly fabuous! He listened to how we wanted our wedding to run, what was special to us and what kind of shots we were looking for. On the day John made sure that we had time to enjoy the day with our guests but still got some memorable photos of our family and some of the activities we had planned. John was a laugh, he was part of our wedding and has given us the best photos. I keep getting lost in a wormhole every time I start to look at the photos. I cannot thank him enough for capturing our special day so well and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for an extra guest to capture their day. Thank you so much John.
