client expectations drive my business
From Penny in August 2011
Dear John
Thank you with all my heart for these lovely, thoughtful, insightful photos.
You were very discreet and respectful during the church service but still managed to capture so much in the little time we spent with you.
We will definitely find occasion to see you again soon.
Warmest and sincerest thanks
Penny
From Kylie in May 2011
Thank you John for the stunning photographs! We love the moments that you captured of us and our guests at the christening. You brought out the joy of the occasion and recorded each of the kids personalities both in the church and party- Thank you! Dealing with you before, during and after the event was a pleasure and I know your creations- the book and DVD will be treasured forever. John, I will not hesitate to invite you back to record all of our key family gatherings.
From the bride on 15 November 2010
I think you've done a fabulous job and wouldn't hesitate recommending you to anyone looking for a photographer (unless, of course, they plan to arrive at their wedding/ event in a stretch hummer).
From the bride in July 2010
Thank you so much for giving us so many beautiful images of our wedding day! The photos are amazing and the album is so beautiful. I took it to work last week, and everyone commented on how beautiful the photos were- how they captured people in natural poses and that there were so many stunning photos of Ben and I. They also commented that the album really conveyed a picture of the whole day and what the day encompassed. I look forward to looking through the album in a year or so and reliving the whole day, as you have captured it so well.
Thank you for all the effort and time you put into perfecting the photos- from removing clutter to highlight the important part of a photo, to the excellent toning and light effects you added, as well as making so many changes to background colours and effects. The borders and background colours really complement all the photos.
It is lovely to have the album so quickly after the wedding. A few short months and I am able to take it and show people, before our wedding day becomes just a long distant memory. Both sets of parents really love their little albums as well. It was so easy for us to get that all arranged with you, and to have our thank you cards printed up with our favourite photo and ready to send out a week after we got back from our honeymoon was fantastic!
The only problem I have is trying to choose which of your many beautiful photos I want printed on canvas to go on the walls!
Thank you again
Catherine
From the bride's mother on receiving a bespoke wedding album, a present from her daughter, on 28 May 2010
We have just received the book you did for us of Catherine's wedding, it is outstanding and brings back so many memories of the day and night. You have a great gift......
I wish you well in your career, the standard, commitment, rapport with subjects and professionalism of photography for Cath and Ben's wedding can only mean you will succeed with you chosen work. I sense in your work the same empathy that Oliver Cotton had
On my book designing service where I use the client's photos to make a photo book (From Emily, who had spent four months in Europe, on 27 February 2010)
Working with John to produce a photo book of a recent holiday was efficient and highly rewarding. He is patient and discriminating, offering comment with sensitivity. I was impressed by his vision; (my own) photographs of low technical quality became highly evocative after editing and applying effects. The resulting book is professional and personal, and I am pleased to have a travelogue of such high quality to show to friends and family. The black leather cover is a chic touch, too.
On my Christening photography (From Zoe, the mother of the baby being christened, on 20 November 2009)
We hired John to capture the christening of our third daughter Aria. As this was our last big family celebration the event and the photos had to be perfect. The brief we put to John was to capture the atmosphere of the day and to provide us with both set up shots of the family as well as candid shots of our family and friends throughout the day. What John presented us with a few days later exceeded my wildest expectations. From the first image of our daughter on the proof sheet I was blown away. It was every mother's dream. He captured the true essence of all three of my daughters as well as the emotion of the day. His photos told a story, the story of our family and the life we have built with our family and friends. The candid portraits of our guests were stunning and flattering and the images of the children captured their pure joy. He took a series of shots of each person which resulted in the most stunning composite photos I have ever seen. Choosing the images for our album was both fun and enlightening. John has a keen eye for style and has a very creative approach to putting together an album. I found working with John to be a fun, calm and a very professional experience. He brings his own love of family to your event and captures people at the absolute best. John's images are our most precious memories for our special day.

You're a genius!!!
Your photos are amazing. So impressive.
I've never seen anyone capture such expression, affection, personality and joy.... and all at a Greek Orthodox Christening - miraculous!! ;-)
On my family photography (From Angela on 11 April 2009)
I am stunned and have been gazing and gazing at your photos ?. Lots of them. The ones of K and co are so life like of them; it made me feel they were in the room here, or I was there?. And seeing them all at their best, most interesting, and most lovable?. I wonder how ever it can be done, to get so much depth of a person into a photo?.
On my commercial work (From Leanne on 9 April 2009)

On my book design work (From Richard on 6 February 2009)
Dear John The book is an absolute gem. After looking at the images for so long on your website I had no notion of how they would look in the book. But they seem to glow with a new light and live again. All I can say is thank you.
