John was absolutely amazing to work with. He was very friendly and professional from the beginning to the very end. He was very comfortable to communicate with, and he understood and executed everything we had asked for. He was always very responsive and was also well organized and timely on the day of our wedding. His work is stunning and I could really tell that he has a passion for this job. I'm really pleased with his work and would definitely recommend him.

I can’t stop looking at my photos!

I had such a great experience working with John Bartenhagen! He shot my wedding and my photos are fantastic!

I loved that John was so responsive each time I reached out! Not only would he respond right back but many times if my questions were complicated he would ask to schedule a FaceTime so we could work out the details!

Once you connect with John, he sets up a virtual meeting to make sure that you understand all he provides and his style of photos will meet your needs. He listens and plans all the details so you know exactly what to expect.

He has an automated contract and payment service that makes both processes one-click simple.

John also includes a engagement sitting with his service so you will have great “Save the Dates.”

John will prompt you for all the details at just the right time which takes the worry off you. He will discuss all the shots you want to capture and who you want more or less ;) pictures of.

We did a walk through the week before at our wedding site and John’s creative eye identified so many great photo opportunities, I knew I was going to have some really great shots and it got me so excited.

At the “first look” I was pretty impressed when I saw John had a photo checklist tool on his phone to make sure every shot was captured.

During the wedding/reception John was there to capture every shot and he did it in such a way that you never noticed him or the lighting stands.

One of the best reasons to select John as your photographer is that within a couple of weeks (quicker than most) he delivers your print ready photos to his site and you can download them all in minutes. There are no additional charges to to download and share them with your guests or you can print them yourself!

Although I can’t say enough about John being the best choice for your wedding photographer and that he will be so easy to work with and deliver incredible photos.

I will highlight that John is one of the nicest and “good hearted”people I have worked with. He is such a kind and caring person… it was a true delight to meet John. I’m so pleased that I will have such great memories of working with him each time I look at our photos!

Great Photographer!!

John was so much fun to work with. Our photos turned out gorgeous and even better than we could have imagined. He did an amazing job instructing us which is helpful for someone like myself who is a little awkward and camera shy. He went above and beyond and I am so grateful and happy we found him!
