About Me
Photographer With A Passion To Make Every Moment Count
I am a fine art wedding and portrait photographer with a love for cinematic light, quiet moments, and romantic storytelling. Every session is guided so you feel relaxed, natural, and beautifully lit.
My approach is a blend of editorial and documentary. We create the hero shots, but we also preserve the in between moments that make the day yours.
“Light tells every story”
Soft light, sharp focus, and refined styling are at the center of every shoot. I prefer natural palettes and clean compositions so your images feel timeless in 5, 10, or 20 years.
What My Clients Says
John at Velvet Lens didn’t just capture our wedding – he captured our hearts. Every photo feels like a scene from a timeless film, bathed in soft light and filled with genuine emotion. The day flew by, but thanks to his vision and grace, we get to relive every moment in exquisite detail. Truly unforgettable.
We’re still blown away by how beautiful our photos turned out. John made us feel calm the entire day, even when the schedule got chaotic. The way he uses soft light made every moment look timeless. Our family keeps saying the photos look like they came straight out of a magazine.
We’re both awkward on camera, but John guided us through everything in a way that felt natural and easy. He found little moments between the poses that ended up being our favorite images. The whole session felt relaxed, and the final photos were soft, romantic, and exactly the vibe we wanted.
We’ve never had such a smooth photo experience. John has a way of working quietly and giving simple direction that made our kids feel comfortable. The photos are warm, clean, and have this gentle glow that feels really personal. These are the pictures we’ll treasure for years.
I booked John for a bridal portrait session, and the results were stunning. He paid attention to every detail—hands, veil, dress shape, lighting—and somehow made it all feel effortless. The images have this elegant, editorial look without feeling staged. I couldn’t be happier.
