Reviews of John Cairns Photography
S. R.John did an engagement shoot following the proposal to my fiancé. I could see John was excellent having checked out his website in advance and sure enough he proved to be of the highest calibre. Can't recommend highly enough. He has the most incredible eye for a photo and knew all of the best spots in Oxford. Instantly puts you at ease without any of the typical bossy/overbearing photographer lingo. But best of all he is a really, really good bloke. Thanks John.
T. G.I'm so pleased with the photos John has taken for my upcoming Edinburgh Fringe show. I was expecting to get a few photos that I loved from the shoot but have been left with dozens. While there were some issues with the location I had booked, John was flexible understanding and utterly professional. Really recommend him.
F. D.John Cairns photography’s is beautiful. We hired John to take professional portraits of members of our research Institute and we are very satisfied with his work! The shooting session was seamless and the portraits came out great. Thank you so much, John!
K. B.John Cairns came to take headshots at my college in Oxford. He was warm, good-humoured, flexible and professional, setting us quickly at ease and taking a variety of really lovely photos; I'm very grateful to him for such a pleasant experience and such excellent results!
Z.John is a lovely guy and extremely professional. The photographs from our wedding are exactly what we were hoping for and his eye for detail is brilliant. He made us feel very comfortable and at ease, and we are extremely happy with the results. Definitely recommended.
W. C. S. Q. M.We chose John to capture our charity Awards Ceremony in Oxford and can't recommend him highly enough. He was professional throughout, and worked to a very challenging brief while remaining calm and polite, providing reassurance and clear directions to our volunteers and young student attendees. The photos were perfect, and turned around very quickly. We hope to have the opportunity to work with John again.
A. G.We’re delighted with the photos John took of our lockdown wedding. We have a lovely record of the occasion including some delightful portraits. He’s unobtrusive and professional and we’d highly recommend him.
S. C.I have worked with John in the past so did not hesitate to recommend him when we needed a photographer for a recent project in Oxford. We were not disappointed - John is so professional, flexible, and patient. He has the ability to put his subjects at ease and captured some very special moments.
K. G.We couldn't be happier with John's photos of our wedding. Even though it was a very small event due to Covid restrictions, his photos captured the atmosphere and significance for us in a wonderful way. We also appreciated his professional, calm and positive approach in the face of various additional challenges like torrential rain! We'd certainly recommend his photography.
N. H.We first encountered John during a show for an Oxford college in 2016 and found his care and attention to the subject, and resulting portraits, to be very good. We then hired him for our wedding in Oxford in summer 2019 and his work was excellent: he was very customer-focused, creative throughout, and produced high quality photos. He was also very attentive to our needs during the creation of our post-event wedding book. Our guests complimented both his methods and his outputs. A real professional. We'd recommend him without reservation.
C. R.The photos John took of our son’s wedding far surpassed our expectations. John captured not just the moments but the essence of the atmosphere of the day in beautifully taken shots. The more conventional group photos we’d requested were perfectly constructed. The unobtrusive, discreet way John took photos through the day and his friendly manner and skill resulted in his catching many magical, natural moments. He has a great eye that puts him in a different league. Highly recommend him both in terms of his outstanding professionalism but also his pleasant presence which added to the day. We are very grateful.
T. W.Over the past few years John has been incredibly kind and generous by donating both his time and expertise to support Sobell House Hospice. Only recently he took some wonderful photos for our latest appeal and they were outstanding. John is a very talented photographer as well as being such a lovely guy to work with. He is everyone you would want and so much more when looking for a professional photographer.
D. S.One of the best decisions we took when arranging our daughter's recent wedding - inviting John to be the official wedding photographer! He was superb throughout the whole day. The resulting images were truly fantastic - of the highest quality and very creative. His unobtrusive, quiet presence allowed him to capture a range of wonderful photographs.
I am familiar with John's work and never cease to be amazed by his brilliance and professionalism. I recommend him without hesitation. If you seek the best - look no further than John. I shall certainly ask for his photographic support in the future.
Thank you so much John.
L. M.John photographed our wedding in July, and we are thrilled with the results! We are so grateful for his patience and professionalism up to and on our special day. John came to scout the location before, which made for a very smooth process on the actual day. John also went out of his way to provide highlight photos very quickly, and followed up with hundreds later on. We had several quotes and are extremely happy we chose John's services. Will be looking at these beautiful photos for years to come.
R. E.John did a fantastic job as our wedding photographer. He was discreet, lots of the guests didn’t even notice he was there and he took a range of shots from a couple of group photos and a lot of unposed photos. They have really captured our day so well. Can’t recommend highly enough.
O.John is a fantastic photographer and did a brilliant job photographing our wedding this past July in Oxford. We met up a few days before to ensure timings worked and we explained some shots we hoped to get. John was attentive and sensible, writing down where we'd go and how much time it would take so it could fit into the evenings' plans without an issue. On the day, John was on the ball in so many ways. He moved around the church effortlessly during the service, and the organised photos after were done quickly and efficiently. When we went off for our photos, John knew where we would go and didn't waste any time along the way, ensuring we got great shots and that we stuck to the schedule. We mentioned we wanted to try and get some photos while punting, and he happily agreed. A photographer who can punt and take brilliant photos is talented! Timings were perfect, and even later in the evening when we went out for some more photos, it took 20 minutes and was very effortless. Our guests later mentioned that he was so subtle and quiet with taking photos during the day, most didn't even notice the shots being taken. We've received the photos and we couldn't be happy with how it went on the day and the photos we now have. Very professional and a good sense of humour, we'd definitely recommend John as a photographer for a wedding or any other special occasion.
S. D.I've seen a lot of wedding photographs and John is the best photographer I've come across. Our wedding photos are fantastic, they really capture the emotions of the day. John is brilliant - very laid back and discreet; he photographed every moment and we barely noticed he was there most of the time. The photos are everything that we wanted and extremely well produced. John went out of his way to make sure that we had fantastic photos, and he made us feel so at ease and comfortable on the day. It rained on the morning of the wedding and John even brought wellies so my shoes didn't get ruined during the photo shoot!
A fantastic photographer and a lovely guy - my only advice would be book him before someone else does!
E. B.John is a brilliant photographer and very flexible, friendly and communicative. You know you can rely on him to get exactly the images you want and he's brilliant at getting his subjects to feel at ease in front of the camera, too.
M. S.John is an exceptional photographer and we were delighted to entrust our wedding photos to him. Our photos are absolutely stunning and we will treasure them for ever. John is brilliant at capturing intimate moments of conversation or humour, setting up relaxed and natural group shots, and recording those small details of the event and setting which capture the atmosphere perfectly. Everyone has commented on how beautiful our pictures are and we cannot recommend John’s work highly enough.
Michelle and John February 2017
M. G.John did an absolutely sterling job of photographing our wedding. He captured the emotion of the day in stunning photos, despite the fact that for most of the day I had absolutely no idea where he was as he is so discreet! The quality of the photos are fantastic, and he was professional throughout. He produced every photo we asked for and was very flexible on the day and willing to try out shots. Highly recommended - you won't regret hiring John.
C. H.Would highly recommend - John has taken photos for me on numerous occasions, including profile head shots; buildings & architecture; and shots of students around college. His photos are excellent and working with him is very enjoyable - he's particularly good at chatting to people and putting them at ease. Really good results and great value for money.
K. S.John produced a series of portraits for me to use on my new company website, as speaker headshots and for social media. I was extremely happy with the result - natural professional images taken outside in central Oxford. John is a talented photographer who has an eye for both excellent composition and good light. I would recommend his services.
A. M.John was hired to photograph at a University event and took a series of headshots that I think are my absolute favourite photos ever! He really knew how to make us pose in a way that felt natural yet professional. I highly recommend his services if you are looking for someone who is enjoyable to work with and produces great results!
S. C.John is an exceptionally talented photographer; he combines his skill with an easy-going manner which enables him to instantly make his subjects feel at ease. John's eye for composition and framing mean that the resulting images are always distinctive and engaging.
N. M.John was an absolutely outstanding wedding photographer whom I would have no hesitating in recommending to anyone.
John photographed our wedding on 25th June 2016. We have just received the full set of photos (within three weeks!) and are totally blown away by the quality of the photographs and the way in which he has captured the emotions of the day - he has crystallised some amazing memories for us. We could not have hoped for a better result! In particular he has managed the seemingly impossible task of making us thrilled that it rained on our wedding day as he has such wonderful pictures of reflections in puddles.
Not only are the photos incredible, but John was an absolute pleasure to work with on the day and before the day. He was extremely responsive and put in work before the wedding day visiting the venue and working out what shots to use. On the day itself he managed to be totally discreet - I barely noticed him but according to the photographs he appears to have been everywhere at once! Several of our guests and family members commented on how pleasant he was to have around. The formal shots were extremely smooth, and my husband (who is not a big fan of having his photo taken) actually commented on how surprised he'd been at how much he enjoyed the process of taking pictures of the two of us.
John was an absolutely fantastic photographer and we would recommend him to everyone! Thank you so much John
E. B.John Cairns photographed our wedding in Oxfordshire in November 2019 and we couldn't have been more pleased to have chosen him. In every way he went above and beyond to give us an absolutely beautiful set of photos. He spent time meeting us before the event, made sure he completely understood what we wanted in terms of photos and logistics, advised us on what would help everything run smoothly on the day, and spent time researching the area around the venue so that we could use the best, beautiful autumnal spots to get our shots as a couple. He was extremely generous with his time and did everything he said he was going to do. On the big day he was a great combination of really personable and completely unintrusive; a lot of the time we didn't even notice he was there. We're really pleased with our photos and would highly recommend John as an excellent wedding photographer.
M. M.We are so glad that we stumbled across John Cairns Photography. We can’t say enough about how professional, friendly and flexible he is and the quality of work that he provides. We are so pleased with the final photographs.
John Cairns has an amazing eye! Don’t pass up the chance to work with him!
Tomas and Margaret
J. F.You won’t regret choosing John Cairns as your photographer. I am so glad we did. From our first meeting he really took the time to get to know us to ensure that his photography captured all that we were looking to record of our day. We were married in Hampshire and John took the time to come and visit the church and venue and meet our family prior to the day. This care and building a rapport really showed on the day as family were far more relaxed with him and it didn’t feel like we were being photographed by an ‘outsider’. John’s approach and style on the day was incredibly unobtrusive - a rare quality with wedding photographers. We couldn’t be more pleased with his work and the photographs. Every image is beautiful and captures the day perfectly - even the aspects we didn’t see on the day. I would not hesitate to recommend John.
N. S.John went above and beyond all we had hoped for our wedding photography. His manner was calm, efficient and professional throughout the day which helped everything to run like clockwork. The images themselves were exquisite; he captured our intimate moments perfectly as well as the atmosphere of celebration. Nothing escaped his attention. I couldn't recommend John more highly as a photographer.
F. M.We hired John for our wedding on a recommendation from another couple, and he lived up to everything they promised. He has such an artistic eye and seemed to know whenever anything (planned or unplanned) was about to happen, as he was there ready to capture it. At the same time, we barely noticed him, and when we were doing couples photos in a nearby field we felt completely natural and relaxed, and they're some of the best shots. John made our wedding look even more beautiful than I remember it! Thank you John.
S. S. T. M.I'd had the pleasure of seeing John's work on a number of occasions, so when he kindly offered to take some snaps en route to my ball in Oxford I couldn't refuse. John is an outstanding photographer, professional and very generous with his time - he emailed us our snaps the next day! Highly recommend
R. H.John did an excellent job photographing our wedding in Bristol. He worked incredibly hard, and he was there to document every moment and plenty of special moments that we hadn't noticed. Still, he was unobtrusive, and he took great un-posed pictures of guests in action. The results were beautiful. We strongly recommend John.
K. K.My husband is a keen photographer and so photography at our wedding was one of the most important things to us. My husband particularly loves the reportage style of photography. There are so many wedding photographers around but we were looking for something exceptional. As soon as we saw John's pictures on his website and his facebook page, we knew we wanted him to be our photographer!! He was our no.1 choice. Throughout the booking process, he was happy to answer questions on the phone and was always incredibly friendly. We met John before the day and talked through our wedding day and got on brilliantly with him which really put us at ease. Now, for the most important bit!! John was soooooooooooooooooooo amazing on our wedding day, I couldn't recommend him more, totally unobtrusive but really friendly, smiley and adaptable. He was quite literally more like a guest at our wedding than just our photographer. We have had comments from our friends and family saying how much they liked him! And finally, the PHOTOS.... phenomenal, so many precious moments captured, John has the most creative eye so we have some absolutely beautiful pictures - they look like they came straight out of a magazine. The best thing about John's pictures is they totally captured the spirit and atmosphere of the day and are the best memories we could have of the day. We love them more every time we look at them - now for the challenge to find a wedding album which will allow us to put 400+ pictures in ha ha! If you want the best Oxford wedding photographer available pick John Cairns.
L.John is such a wonderful wedding photographer! My husband and I are so grateful to have him keeping our precious memories of our big day. The photos are better than we could ever imagine. He was very hard-working and responsible, and he did such an amazing job at capturing all the very special moments for us.
K. S.We couldn't be happier with the job John did at our wedding! He was really helpful in giving us guidance in what would look great, while remaining hands off. He truly captured the mood and atmosphere of the day. He managed a great mixture of more classic or formal shots, informal ones of guests and also some really artistic shots. John has a fantastic eye for the perfect shot and seems to manage to execute it perfectly! Thanks, John!
A. W.John produced the most fantastic photos of our wedding day! It was definitely one of our best decisions when planning our wedding to book him. He has produced a great mixture of stunning posed shots of the two of us and then countless brilliant informal photos of our friends and family during the day. I would highly recommend him!
N. C.We felt in very safe hands with John as our wedding photographer. We had already seen some of his work, but none the less both we and our families were taken aback by the amazing quality (and quantity) of the photos. His manner around our guests was completely discreet and unobtrusive (but he still managed to take fantastic close-ups), and he was also very efficient with group and couple shots.
N. P.John Cairns photographed our wedding and produced magical atmospheric images that perfectly captured the day. I can't recommend highly enough.
N. V.John Cairns was our wedding photographer and overal we are extremely pleased with the way he managed the entire process before, during and after the wedding. Before the wedding John took time to explain the value that he is able to bring to the photos he takes. He also spent time visiting the venue, which reassured us that he would know exactly where to get the best shot from on the day. He is really someone you feel you can trust making these decisions. During the day, he was enthusiastic, non-entrusive, very polite with the guests, always open to suggestions and built very good rapport with guests and the ushers. The quality of the photographs and the emotions that were captured were beyond our expectations. We would highly recommend John as a wedding photographer.
S. R.I have absolutely nothing but amazing things to say about John. He's professional, extremely talented, friendly, kind, a great communicator, and a real pleasure to work with. We did one shoot early in the summer and another shoot recently in the fall, the latter eagerly assented to on his part because we both thought more shooting in sunset lighting would really take the set of photos he was creating for me over the top. And it really, absolutely did; he helped me create exactly the feel I needed--scholarly, approachable, optimistic, authoritative, warm, and the like. I do a lot of publicity and the like for my career but I can honestly say working with John is at the top of my list of experiences, and I really look forward to being able to call him on future projects.
E. N.John did a portrait shoot for me and my sister just before I relocated to South Africa; we got in touch with him quite last minute but he managed to squeeze us in despite being very busy with the wedding season. He made two quite camera-shy girls feel really relaxed, and we were thrilled at how the photos came out; really natural, and of a brilliant quality - it was exactly what we were looking for, and John managed to capture our relationship perfectly too, which makes the photos so special!
L. R.John did the photo for my book jacket four years ago. I had tried getting photographs from several photographers and they were all awful: stiff and formal and horrible. But the one John did was just perfect. So I went back four years later to ask him to do my photo again. These ones were even better. I hate having my photo taken but John puts you at ease somehow and takes time and trouble over it without you even realising. The results are fantastic.
H. M.John was the photographer at a college reunion I attended recently. He took lovely group photos and also some portrait photographs. I very much like like the one he took of me and intend to use it for various purposes. I can recommend him very highly, and he has a pleasant personality.
R. T.John is a fantastic photographer and did a marvelous job at our wedding recently. He was there at all the key moments but in such a way that he didn't seem intrusive and he got all the shots we needed without ever being bossy. All round great choice wedding photographer!
K. C.I booked a portrait photo session with John a few week ago. He came over to my office, set up his equipment and started snapping. What sets John apart from other portrait photographers I have worked with in the past is the speed at which he put me at ease. I was initially a bit nervous and stiff but John put me at ease by having conversations with me that got a varied mix of natural expressions from me.
He managed to capture almost every expression I had to offer - I didn't know I could look good smiling! He comes in highly recommended for portraits - go ahead and book him!
C. S.John is excellent at his work. He makes the session entertaining and relaxed. He is also very willing to solve additional requests. Ideal for large groups and business photos.
L. B.John has taken photos for our hospice on a number of occasions, ranging from portraits, action shots and pictures of buildings or items around the hospice. They have always been excellent and and just what we asked for. Would highly recommend his services.
V. M.John is a truly talented photographer. It is very difficult to capture people on the move and in the moment of things but he does it so well. He was the official photographer for an Oxford conference I attended and the photo he took of the delegates were the best I've seen in any conference. I thought his photo of me was so flattering that I asked for a copy afterwards! I would whole-heartedly recommend him to anyone.
H. J.John took pictures of a couple of mates and I for a "college life" sort of shoot. His pictures were amazing and he was great to work with. His suggestions and placements really made the shoot a fun time and we see that in the pictures that he took.
C. v. G.I had a portrait shoot with John the other day and it was a very pleasant experience. He managed to create a nice atmosphere and to give very clear and easy to follow instructions in order to create the optimal pose and expression for the portrait. The photo turned out to be very good. Thank you, John!
A. G.John took some wonderful photographs at St John’s College for a very special birthday. He has an amazing talent to bring out the very best in his subject and his surroundings.
P. D.John is sharp, fast working and really knows his equipment and using light to create brilliant photos. I'm extremely happy with his portrait photos.
J. H. K.I first met John in 2016 at Oxford. He took pictures of our event and portraits for our course profile book. Lovely pictures!
I highly recommend John for his professionalism and innate talent for photography.
M. Z.John is a great photographer. He came to our building in a news event and kindly offered me a few shots by the way. The photos are fabulous. I would highly recommend him.
K. C.I hired John to take some photos for my website and for the back of my book. I am an author. I was looking for something more creative than just a regular head shot and his photos were amazing. He was also very polite, easy to work with and came with a lot of good ideas. I would highly recommend him as a portrait photographer.
P. G.John was undoubtedly the best investment we made for our wedding. He managed to capture the essence of the day, each of our guests, and the 3 venues we held our wedding in around Oxford with a style and creativity beyond any of the other 30 or so photographers we researched. He was very personable, flexible and unobtrusive to the extent that I couldn't believe he caught all of the shots that he did. Looking back now after a few weeks, the memories fade and life continues, but I'm so glad my wife and I decided to up our budget and go for quality as the photos really bring back to life the amazing feeling of the occasion. John really went above and beyond through the whole day and managed to get an extraordinary propertion of winning shots from the 400 odd images he provided us with. I couldn't recommend him strongly enough and will be looking to employ his services again at other family events and for portraits. Pete and Leila, magdalen 27th Aug 2016
M.I visited John as I needed some new photos for my websites and LinkedIn profiles.
He took some studio portraits of me and they totally surpassed my expectations. We spent quite a while playing with the light to get something really interesting and I am very happy with the results!
I have ended up with a mixture of colour and black and white images that I have been using for all my online profiles.
D. C.John did a couple of photoshoots for us of our charity's beneficiaries. Mostly portraits which we use to tell a positive story about the way we help people. John is a highly skilled portrait photographer.
A. H.John was our photographer at our May wedding, and I can't recommend him highly enough. The photos are above and beyond our expectations - it seems as though he managed to be everywhere at once on the day, taking gorgeous shots of candid moments that perhaps no-one else noticed were taking place, capturing the spirit of the day, the joyfulness of gathering with so many friends and family, and using his creativity and technical skills to produce amazing pictures in a huge variety of settings. Our church was a 12th century chapel with very little light, but he faced that challenge with aplomb and produced brilliant pictures even in very dark conditions. John is a true professional - unobtrusive, efficient, well-prepared and putting everyone at ease, including two very tiny and nervous flower girls. A truly great wedding photographer.
N. H.John is everything a wedding photographer should be- personable, unobtrusive, and efficient, with an uncanny ability to capture wonderful little moments of the day. We were blown away by our photos, and now the only problem is deciding which ones to print! If you've got a wedding in the Oxford area, BOOK HIM. You won't regret it!
R. H.Fantastic wedding photographer - very talented, professional, fun to work with. John was really efficient, and worked extremely hard to capture all aspects of the day, both candid shots and the more traditional posed arrangements. Highly recommended.
P. B.John's photography is incredibly beautiful. He is a real artist. I thoroughly recommend him. I met him at the opening of an art exhibition and he was very polite, helpful and found a way of capturing the unique atmosphere of the event.
J. H. T.John's photography of Oxford's architecture is exquisite. He captures the city's iconic and hidden gems with flawless artistry, offering graceful and uniquely beautiful perspectives. He recently took photographs of Balliol College for our family, which will be treasured across several generations.
J. S.John took a portrait of me a few years ago and it's still one of my favourite photographs and used regularly. His use of lighting and natural tones to capture someone's essence is sublime and I highly recommend him for all portraiture work.
B. L.John took photos for me and my friends while we were attending an event in Merton College, Oxford. It was really nice to have such a professional photographer capturing the wonderful moments which we would have forgotten without a photo copy reservation. The photos are of great quality. We all love them=) Thank you John!
L. C.Thank you John so much for the fabulous photos. My husband and I think they are all wonderful, we can't stop looking at them, and we feel that you have done an amazing job in catching the joyfulness of the day, with such a good eye for detail!
Thank you for personally deliver the custom-made USB drive with all the lovely high-resolution photos. We cant praise your work enough, please accept our gratitude for making the day last forever!
If you are considering using John Cain's services for your wedding, don't think twice!
Highly recommended!!
L. H.John did an AMAZING job of our wedding photos and we love them!! He was so professional on the day and had exactly the manner you would want from your photographer- unobtrusive but at the same time managing to be in the right place at the right time and get a batch of consistently quality photos. He had a meeting with us before the wedding to familiarise himself with the venue and listened carefully to exactly what we wanted and had some very helpful suggestions and ideas. Experience is obviously paying off for him and we're so glad we hired him! If you go for it, you'll definitely have something to look forward to when you get back from honeymoon...!
N. P.John creates shot after shot of timeless quality. He is a pro at capturing the subtlest of emotions, expressions or intimate glances of the bride and groom and of all the guests. What's more, he is great fun to work with and his passion for taking great photography is infectious. He takes care of all the details very professionally and you will barely notice him around on the day. We need to come up with another excuse to work with him again.
G. C.John did the official photographs for our daughter's wedding. His price is competitive, he was efficient and clear with the contract he provided, he met with the bride and groom before the big day to discuss what they wanted, he was delightful to deal with throughout, he was polite and helpful with all the guests, he was smartly dressed and unobtrusive, the quality of the photographs he produced was outstanding - they were creative, beautiful and really captured the character of the couple and the mood of the whole day, and he took so many lovely spontaneous shots of them and of all the guests. We are absolutely delighted with his work, and several people have said they are the best wedding photos they've ever seen. I can heartily recommend him.
S. a. J. R.John was the photographer for our wedding in August 2015, and we can scarcely recommend him highly enough - he had seemingly endless energy to capture a huge range of people and moments throughout the day, was great fun to work with on posed shots after the ceremony, and the images we got through look fantastic. Thank you, John!
J. R.We were delighted with John's photos of our wedding. They captured the day perfectly and had a great balance of arty and more traditional shots. We're looking forward to getting some up on the wall! Highly recommended!
D. P.My College and Department have used John for several photo shoots of major ceremony events and individual portrait shots. Excellent photographer who captures the moment and best qualities of the event. Subtle and discreet.
R. P.Fantastic wedding photographer. Very discrete and fantastic photos. John captured all the formal shot we'd asked for plus took some very innovative informal shots which we were delighted with.
T. D.John is amazing. His photos are fantastic and he is a joy to work with.
J. B.John took excellent photos and set us at ease on the day. He captured facial expressions and intimate moments very well. I would highly recommend him!
C. B.John has photographed both my wedding (a few weeks ago) and that of my brother (two years ago). Both times he surpassed all our expectations of what wedding photos could look like. Not only does he take stunning photos but he manages to capture details I would never think to take (but after the event am so glad that they were recorded) and portray the 'feel' and emotion of the event too.
He works so discreetly that most of the time you aren't even aware that he is there. Only when the photos come through do you realise that he managed to capture everything, and to be everywhere, all at the same time... yet unnoticed by guests and the bridal party. Brilliant.
A truly gifted photographer and a really nice guy with it, so a complete joy to work with from every aspect.
s. k.John did more than we have expected to make our wedding perfect and truly special. And the photos he took were spectacular! Totally exceeded our already high expectations! Highly recommended!
K. H.John did a fabulous job for our wedding in at The Bodleian Library in Oxford. He was professional, took amazing photos and did a wonderful job capturing us in a natural way. Highly recommend!
T. W.John is a consummate professional and brings easy charm and charisma to his work. He took fabulous school photographs for us. I couldn't recommend him more highly.
J. P.I really admired the way John's photographs of the throngs of people at the June 'Come Draw With Me' family art event captured the enthusiasm and sense of enjoyment and engagement of the evening. The range of intimate close up and longer range overviews combined to leave a lasting memory of a most successful event.
C. W.John took pictures at my husband's 60th birthday celebration. He was punctual, friendly and discreet. The photographs are fabulous and are a wonderful memory of the event.
L. B.John took some lovely black and white photographs of me recently, using the stunning Oxfordshire landscape as the perfect background to take some beautifully composed images. Would definitely recommend.
C. C.John is amazing. He always puts you at ease and is a real expert. Knows his stuff with lighting and positioning too, a great experience. Thanks John!
H. W.John happened to be around the Rad Cam one evening during Oxford Ball season and took some impromptu photos of our group, he sent them to us the following day. Generous and professional.
R. K.Making photos of scientists at work and busy labs visually interesting, with a storytelling element is a real art. John works very quickly and the results fit the brief, but in addition he provides variety and creativity and exceeds expectations.
E. M.John is a very friendly, professional and talented photographer and we are extremely pleased with our photos, he did above and beyond what we were looking for, would highly recommend!

R. M.John captures emotion; everything from the intricate wedding preparations first thing in the morning to the wild dancing last thing at night. John's flair is his ability to manage hundreds of people (over 200 in our case) politely and without fuss which is vital, particularly during the formal photos. He answers emails immediately delivering everything that he promises on his website as a minimum. We will continue to rely on John because he's always a step ahead.
L. E.Picking the right photographer for your wedding is a big decision and we were so thrilled to have John photograph ours. He came highly recommended and exceeded our already very high expectations. Not only did he produce really fantastic photos that captured the spirt of the day perfectly, but he also took the time to meet with us twice before the big day and to visit the venue in advance to scout out good photo opportunities. On the day itself he was really unobtrusive and blended in so well to capture the emotion of the day. We had all the photos back within a fortnight of the wedding which was also brilliant. We have spent most evenings since looking at them!
C. H.John has done a series of headshots of our son and a shoot to celebrate his 18th birthday. He has a wonderful knack of understanding and engaging with his subject to put them at ease and to portray a true essence of them in a very special way, resulting in beautiful and meaningful photographs which will be forever treasured. Thank you, John!
