Hi.
Every person should be framed in the real life, unstaged moments they’ve felt the most loved and cared for.
My favorite images to capture are candid moments, and most of the images I capture throughout a wedding day are those true, real moments between a couple, and their friends and family. It's important for you to live your wedding day to the fullest, and love reliving it later through the photos. When you look back at your wedding photos, I want you to remember exactly how you felt in those moments.

"My daughter and I attended an artist talk and book signing several years ago at our local library —Johnny was very personable and down to earth, and I am a huge fan of his photography. Though I haven’t used him for a live event, I own several of his books from the Forgotten Ohio series. They make beautiful gifts and I love supporting a small, local artist. (And omgoodness, would hire him in a heartbeat for an event!)

"Johnny and his assistant Darryl did an absolute phenomenal job photographing our wedding. Their unique compositions, the lighting was perfect, easy to communicate with and Johnny made sure the day went smoothly. Would highly recommend Johnny as their photographer. We were so happy with how the photos came out."
For the vast majority of your wedding day, my approach to photography is purely documentary. I aim to capture the authentic moments without directing, staging, or prompting your guests to pose unnaturally. Your wedding day is about the two of you, and everyone else having a fun and stress-free time. The real magic lies in the genuine interactions, and those are the moments I'll preserve. Of course, we can still include some family portraits and the necessary group images. Before the wedding, I’ll send you a questionnaire to ensure we cover all the essential shots with minimal disruption. I like to stay out of the way whenever possible, and sometimes you might notice it seems like I’m not even there. This is nothing to worry about! I’ll be sure I’m there at all times, capturing the moments you’ll love to look back on the most. Trust in me to photograph your day, and I know you’ll love what I capture.
