We had a great time working with John. He was professional, personable and did a great job guiding us and our family through photos!
John was attentive, efficient, timely, and helpful during the entirety of our wedding day! He arrived early to start an already long 8 hour wedding day. He was excellent at directi...
ng traffic during wedding photos with family, and we finished our family photos quicker than we had even hoped. He then was very accommodating to take photos of us outdoors on a hot day, and he helped us greatly for getting good poses and shots. If you would like a calm, efficient wedding photographer for a fair price, do consider John Squyres!

out fantastic as well. Highly recommend him for proposal photo shoots!
We cannot say enough amazing things about our photographer! From the moment we booked him, we knew we had made the right decision. Not only did he capture every special moment beau...
tifully, but he went above and beyond throughout the entire wedding day.
He was organized, professional, calming, and incredibly helpful from start to finish. He kept everything running smoothly, helped us stay on schedule, and made us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera. It felt like having an extra friend by our side who genuinely cared about making our day perfect.
The photos are absolutely stunning and capture all the emotions, joy, and love of our wedding day. Looking through them brings us right back to those moments. His attention to detail and ability to capture both the big moments and the little in-between memories is truly a gift.
If you’re looking for a photographer who is talented, dedicated, and will go above and beyond for you, look no further. We are so incredibly grateful we chose him and would book him again in a heartbeat. Thank you for helping make our wedding day unforgettable!

he entire process and made our day feel stress-free and special.
One thing we really appreciated was how honest and clear he was about pricing from the very beginning. There were no surprises — his website pricing is exactly what he charges. His packages are also incredibly affordable, especially for micro weddings and elopements, without sacrificing quality at all.
We are so happy we chose John and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a talented, professional, and trustworthy photographer!
If you're looking for a photographer who can truly capture the quiet, meaningful moments, the love, the laughter, and the beauty of your family on your most special day, John is yo...
ur person.
He goes far beyond just being a photographer. He becomes part of your family, and because of that, he’s able to capture incredibly genuine and unforgettable moments through his lens.
I honestly couldn’t have gotten through our wedding day without him. He was such a pivotal part of everything and contributed so much to the warmth and joy of the day. It simply wouldn’t have been the same without him.
If you’re feeling unsure, don’t be, he is absolutely the right choice. He won’t let you down, and he will always give you his very best.
Take my word for it.

of he arrived on time, I think maybe early even, and went straight in to work on all the detail shots. With his services, you will answer a detailed questionnaire of all the shots you want ahead of time. So it was not complete chaos when the group photos came up after the ceremony. The wedding party got to actually enjoy cocktail hour. We are not the type of people that love to have pics taken, but John made us feel at ease. All the guests said he was great too. Definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a wedding photographer

I came across the Blue Media Photography website while I was searching online for a photographer. I began my search by choosing vendors with photographs I liked best and then narro...
wed down my search by price.
I was impressed with John’s online photographs and intrigued with his five star ratings on all media outlets. His pricing was beyond reasonable for the services to be offered.
In my first (online) interaction with John, I could tell that he had a great personality, which I feel is very important when working with a vendor. He thoroughly answered all of my question in a timely manner and made me feel comfortable in trusting him with my engagement and wedding photography.
When I met him in person, he had the same great personality (as our initial contact) and he exceeded my expectations of professionalism. I total recommend John for your wedding photography needs!!

. The pictures - even without any corrections - were beautiful. As the Bride, I feel he caught the best of my Groom and me. I could not have chosen a better wedding photographer. If you’re looking for a wedding photographer, look no further. You have found the BEST!
John is professional & passionate about his work.
I recommend him for every photo moment .
Your search is over, John is absolutely the best photographer you could ever have. He is incredibly professional, replied to every message right away and with a courteous and clear...
response. He worked with me to find a package that fit my budget and needs. John was absolutely outstanding on wedding day. He knows exactly where to be and what to say to capture the moment. He listened and understood our vision for the photography and totally matched my energy. I usually hate photos and get antsy for them to be over but even the posed portrait session was laid back and quick and John got all the shots. He made us and our guests feel relaxed in front of the camera and he fixed little details like sleeves, veil, brastraps, hair, and ties without it feeling fussy. The candids at the reception and ceremony are also wonderful, I don’t know how he managed to be everywhere at once but he didn’t miss a thing and I was able to interact with our guests without being distracted by photographs. The photos are incredible, rich and beautiful and I know we will cherish them forever.

lows time for outfit changes although I would recommend only one outfit change. He is very affordable with prices. We also did it in December when the trees are turning different colors which made for some really beautiful pictures. I also recommend you wear something that coordinates with the season and also you should consider throwing a hat in there because it makes for some good pictures. Overall, we are very happy with who we picked!

exible and understanding when we made changes to the timeline due to the pandemic. He arrived early and worked very well with the two young kids we had in our group. Since we had extra time, he offered to take bridal portraits, which I wasn't expecting, but very much appreciated. The photos were delivered online within 7 business days and they turned out great! Thank you John for a wonderful experience and beautiful photos. I highly recommend John and Blue Media Works Photography!

He delivered above and beyond and we have beautiful photos as a result. Highly recommend!
John is absolutely fantastic. I would recommend him to anyone! For our engagement shoot, he was fun and made us feel so comfortable and that was clear in the pictures.
I was work...
ing through some issues during my bridal shoot with him, and long story short, it was a rough time. But John was so patient and kind. He helped me feel better and clearly cared that I felt good and that it was a good experience, which really meant a lot to me because it would have been so easy for him to just brush past it and finish the shoot.
But the biggest thing was on our actual wedding day where he and his second worked so hard to make sure everything was smooth and the pictures were fantastic. He was quick and turned around SO MANY pictures, and they were all incredible. I generally hate the way I look in photos, but I actually felt so good in these. He truly did capture the memories of the night in the best way.
John is incredible to work with! He is very efficient and gets back with you super quickly. He captures the perfect shots and I'm so happy we chose him to take our wedding photos ...
and my bridal photos. I will cherish them forever.
