John is both an amazing photographer and person. He was so friendly and conscientious of our needs…read moreand wishes and went above and beyond throughout the night and exceeded our expectations. Our initial consultation wasn't a sales pitch but a meeting to ensure that he could deliver the service and quality that we were looking for. We were immediately drawn to him as a person and felt extremely comfortable with him. It was apparent that he truly cares about his clients and the photographs that they receive. His philosophy of catching candid photos was truly fun and it was a lot less pressure on us and it allowed us to enjoy our night more. He also was great at positioning and directing us during the photoshoot and wedding and came up with fun shots for us which we really enjoyed. He was able to deliver us a sneak peak of our photos the day after the wedding and we are so excited to see the rest of the album. He truly is a master of light and color, which was exactly what we wanted- we wanted photos that were true to color. Further, his second shooter at our wedding, Kayla, was incredible!! She went above and beyond her role, literally helping me sew a small defect in my dress before walking down the aisle. She had a great eye for photography as well and worked seamlessly with John.

Hey Yelpers! I know there are HUNDREDS of wedding photographers out there to photograph your…read morewedding in Central Texas. Let me make this easy for you: Put John Winters Photography at the top of your short list immediately. He offers something unique, colorful, and full of personality that so many photographers today lack. We are so lucky and happy we found John Winters Photography. I contacted a different photographer who was already booked for our date, and she referred me to John. We immediately vibed with John's website and photography style and asked him to meet to talk about potentially shooting our wedding. Today's photography "trend" is the matte finish muted look, and we did not want that at all. We wanted photography capturing bright colors, fun, emotion, and cool portraits. John Winters does all of this and more. We first met a coffee shop to go over what we like about photography and John's packages and approach. It was a great meeting, and we felt he really understood what we wanted from the first time meeting him. John was a pleasure to work with on our actual wedding day. He arrived early to scout locations so that he could plan shots for us and understand the layout of the private home we rented. He navigated the three floors of the home with ease capturing great shots of us and our loved ones along the way. Our wedding was very intimate with 30 people on Lake Travis, and we wanted him to capture our special bond, our family, our dear friends, and our dogs. John delivered a beautiful mix of both spontaneous shots and portraiture in his approach to photographing our wedding. He was flexible when we were ahead or behind schedule, and he got us to the best lighting for our shots including epic Lake Travis sunset shots. He was fun, kind, and energetic as a photographer, and we really felt like he was one of our friends by the end of the night. John also delivered our online digital gallery way in advance of his promised deadline. We will definitely use John Winters Photography to capture the fun, brightness of life in the future. Go get your brightness on with John!

My husband (then fiance) and I knew from our first phone call with Francis that we would hit it off…read morewith him. Francis made him comfortable and we actually had fun taking our engagement photos. Throughout the wedding planning process, he was responsive, straightforward, professional, and easy to work with. He was up-front about costs and he didn't add on charges later (unlike many other wedding vendors). As for our wedding day, Francis stayed out of our way. He let my husband and I share private moments and he photographed them from afar, he didn't rush us, he didn't interrupt us throughout the reception, and he didn't make us take awkwardly posed photos (unless we requested them). Yet, he took so many incredible shots that truly captured the preparations, emotions, traditions, and excitement of our wedding day. He captured the essence of our interfaith wedding. We are beyond pleased with our wedding photos by Francis, and people constantly compliment his work. We love our wedding photos! He went above and beyond for us (he even had an ex-family member cropped out of a photo for us). It is apparent that Francis takes pride in his work, he truly enjoys interacting with people, and that he is a very talented, experienced photographer. We highly recommend Francis, and you'd be lucky to work with him!

Francis was one of the best decisions we made when planning our wedding. He made us feel…read morecomfortable with him from the get-go. Francis met us at a coffee shop to make sure we would all be a good match to work together, and we ended up hitting it off immediately. We booked him immediately and never looked back! Our engagement shoot was fun, and he helped put us at ease with being in front of a camera. Our wedding day was captured at a level I am still unable to articulate. He was somehow everywhere and nowhere at once. The moments he was able to capture without staging or prompting are everything I had dreamed my wedding photos would be. Everyone who saw them felt the emotions and joy of the day, and I am forever grateful I have them. Francis is professional, easy to communicate with, and freakishly talented. Stop reading this and hire him already!

Will and his team provided pre-wedding and wedding photos for my darling daughter in October. His…read moreprices for the product were high-value, approx $1500 for his services during the entire day (wedding book photos with copy privileges, etc.), with his assistant taking photos during the dances, as well during the preparation, dressing of both parties, etc. Truly a full-service package at a VDERY reasonable price. We've just seen the results, and are extremely happy with all of the work he and his assistants did. He was relaxed during the obligatory family and dressing photos, and made everyone comfortable during a pretty tense time. He had no problem with my camera-happy relatives snapping pictures right next to him, something that I've seen aggravate other professionals. I would highly recommend Will for you wedding photo needs! Dave Dixon 940-3961

I got married recently (october 2012) and Will was our photographer. I can't express adequately how…read morehappy we were with the whole experience. First of all, you get a great deal if you book Will. His prices are by far the most reasonable in town for the amount of benefits and the artistic expertise you get. We got full printing rights, a DVD of over 1000 images in high resolution, and some of them touched up and edited. Secondly, WIll is an awesome guy. I immediately clicked with him when we did our pre-wedding tour of the venue. He is laid back, has a great sense of humor, and is also very professional. On the day of the wedding, all of our friends and family felt very at ease with him, and I even got compliments on how he isn't stuffy when it comes to other people using their cameras. He even incorporated some of my friends' photography into his own techniques (like playing with their flashes to get a cool effect in some of the pictures). I wanted a photobooth, and he helped me set up a great experience for our guests, including purchasing silly props himself, at no charge to me. His second photographer, though I don't remember her name, operated the photobooth, and she was great too. He is very versatile. We were thrilled with all of our pictures, which included formal posed photographs of family, crazy dance floor action shots, photobooth pics, and of course he captured moments from the ceremony flawlessly. I was particularly impressed with how he handled the family and wedding party photos after the ceremony. We had a huge party (eight people on either side), and our families are not small, and he had everything completely under control. Everything flowed smoothly and efficiently, and we were done and ready to join the reception within half an hour. We get to choose photos to have touched up, but I can't even begin to decide which ones to choose, since they are all so beautiful they don't even need to be touched up. It could have been a frantic, stressful day, but it ended up being wonderful and so much fun, and a large part of that is because Will and his second photographer did such a fantastic job. In fact, two of our friends who are getting married this spring were so pleased with our results that they hired him for their wedding. If you hire him for your wedding, you won't be disappointed!

All of our guests thought that he was wonderful, and he caught some really awesome moments. Daniel promptly sent us all of the pictures and we were able to send it to our family and friends.

My husband and I adored working with JD on our wedding day at Hotel Emma this past October (2021)…read more When I went into wedding season and specifically started looking for a photographer, I was looking for a few specific things. Someone who could work with the reserved nature of my husband and camera-awkwardness of myself for one. Secondly, someone who had a portfolio with an eye for detail that would capture the details and vision I curated for our big day. And of course, a classic editing style that would outlive trend and serve as a gorgeous timestamp of our wedding day. John David ticked those three important boxes and exceeded my expectations in his professionalism on our wedding day, and even more so in the gallery of our photos we received last week. He and his second shooter moved us through our wedding day in a timely manner and kept us on schedule, totally cool as a cucumber leading us from getting ready scenes to portraits to wedding party shots with nothing but positive energy. They captured the love reverberating in the ceremony space when I see all my friends and family surrounding us. They didn't miss a beat when it came down to running through our list of family/ friend groups and capture the energy of our people non-stop dancing all night. His final product is a work of art. Full stop, gorgeous photos. They deserve to be full page in Vogue - and not at alll because we're models who can pose for a shot but because JD's ability to make us comfortable and read people made it intuitive for him to catch us in our most natural moments. I am forever grateful for the photos of our day he's given us and couldn't recommend him enough. If you want someone who will be a calming presence on an inherently hectic day, professional in all interactions, a keen artistic sense, and a bottom line kind human being to work with -- seriously look no further and write the check without looking back. He's 10000% worth it and we'll will be writing another review for a 10 year vowel renewal party when we get there!

Thank you so much for capturing the best part of our quirky, multi-cultural wedding celebration, JD! The night was a blur, but I get tears looking at the photos you took, truly capturing the joy and love felt by all that night :) We were so lucky to have you! Super belated post!

Let me first unequivocally say before anything else that I cannot recommend Zach Hunt any higher…read more If I could give him 1000 stars, I would. When getting married, the one thing I wanted to make sure I had more than anything was beautiful, true-to-life pictures of the wonderful patchwork of family and friends that would likely never be together in the same room in the same combination again. Not only did Zach deliver photos more gorgeous than I could've imagined, I had zero stress about it in the run up to the event. It was fantastic to be able to talk candidly to Zach about what I wanted and feel heard. I wish this was the case with all wedding vendors! Zach shot our engagement and wedding photos on the San Antonio Riverwalk. We talked before hand and I told him I'm not a staged pinterest-y bride, but I wanted beautiful candid shots with bold, bright colors, and he did not disappoint. I received hundreds of incredible photos back within two weeks of the event, and literally wept in an airport while looking through them because he was so able to capture the love and fun of our event. It was such a whirlwind night that there were parts I didn't even remember that I got to see waiting for me in the photos. He did an incredible job prioritizing the people that matter to us so I could see in my family's faces how they were feeling. He caught all the important moments and then some, and we even threw in a dog and some children to make his job hard, and he handled it all with aplomb. If you want to make sure your event is captured with the life and joie d'vive that accompanies real life, Zach's your dude. We had such an incredible time, and now I have the best pictures I could ask for to remind me of our big day forever. My family is all gaga over them, too, and there's so many lovely family pics, dance floor action pics, ceremony and engagement with perfect light, perfect colors, and feeling radiating through. I call dibs on Zach for our 10th anniversary! I wouldn't trust anyone else to photograph so important an event after the perfect experience we had with him!

My best friend of 12 years Lindsay was married a few weeks ago and she brought on Zach to capture this personal event.

When I get married I will fly Zach to Cali to have him be there to capture my wedding. What an artist. Truly blessed.

Matt was our photographer at our small wedding on 9/1/22. We enjoyed half of the photos that we…read morereceived but were disappointed by the other half. Even our family and friends said they were bad. Half of the photos were very unflattering (mouths open from people talking, double chins from people looking down, glares on people's faces from awkward angles). I regret him not taking pictures of our rings. We were very accommodating and invited him to sit and eat with us at the reception. He said we didn't pay when we did a month in advance, also the pictures took a week longer than what his contract said, and he misnamed my husband as Greg and not Gabe on the photo file. I gave an average pretty good 3 stars rating because we are going to use half the photos so, not bad and not the best. Once he saw that he had gotten an average honest rating, he started lying saying I was giving out bad reviews, which I have never given any reviews below 4 stars and then he rudely emailed me because he wants nothing but 5 stars regardless of how a couple feels. I guess once he gets your money he doesn't care how long it takes or how the photos look...and if you don't give him 5 stars then he'll start bashing you with lies. Worst experience ever

I do not intend to be disrespectful to anyone's experiences, I just had such a great experience working with him. He was wonderful for my bridal portriats and wedding etc. I never had a problem getting a hold of him within a timely manner. Most of the times I received an immediate response. I was referred to him by one of my good friends, and she had the same wonderful experience we had. He is priced affordably and will travel. We had great quality photos and he took the time to pick out special parts of the reception venue that he wanted to photograph us in. He was good about getting us on track about getting certain photos for the night. When you actually get to the reception, you are so overwhelmed and it is all a blur. It is nice to have someone that will keep you on track without being overbearing and pushy. I think a lot of people don't realize that a great deal of work goes into wedding photos on the bride/groom side also. You have to communicate what you want. Everyone wants something different.
