About John

(But really, this is about you.)

If you’re reading this, you’re probably asking yourself a few quiet questions:

  • “Will I look good in these photos?”

  • “Will this photographer get what’s important to us?”

  • “Are they going to boss us around all day… or disappear when I need them?”

Those questions matter more than my favorite coffee order or what kind of dog I used to have. Let’s start with what you can expect if we work together.

On a wedding day, my job is to keep things calm, organized, and quietly observant so you can stay present. I’ll step in when you need direction during portraits, family photos, and those “please tell us what to do with our hands” moments and step back when real emotion is happening.

I’ve been photographing weddings and portraits for over 16 years. I don’t spook easily, and I know how to adjust when timelines shift, weather changes, or nerves kick in. You won’t spend your day performing for my camera. You’ll spend it actually living your moments, knowing they’re being photographed with intention.

If you “hate having your picture taken”

You are my people. Most of my favorite images are of people who walked in saying, “We’re awkward,” “I’m not photogenic,” or “Please fix me in Photoshop.”

Instead of forcing you into someone else’s idea of a perfect pose, I pay attention to how you naturally move, stand, and connect and then give you small, simple prompts to bring out something real.

For portraits and studio sessions, I’ll guide you from head to toe: where to look, what to do with your hands, when to breathe, when to relax your shoulders. The goal isn’t to turn you into a model, it’s to finally see yourself the way the people who love you already do.

What I care about most

I care that your wedding photos still make you feel something 10, 20, 30 years from now.

  • I care that your portrait session doesn’t just give you a nice profile picture but proof of how far you’ve come.

  • I care that your branding images actually look like the professional you’ve worked so hard to become.

I’m not chasing trends. I’m building images with a long life. Heart, not hype. Always.

A little bit about me

I’m based in Easton, PA and photograph weddings, portraits, and branding sessions throughout the Lehigh Valley, Philadelphia, the Poconos, and beyond. I’m a dad, a partner, and someone who genuinely loves the mix of chaos and tenderness that happens when people gather to celebrate or step in front of a camera.

If this sounds like the kind of experience you’re looking for, I’d love to hear your story.
