    John Schnack Photography was the perfect choice for our wedding photography. From the moment we first spoke with John, his communication style was responsive, professional, and attentive to detail. The quality of his work is simply stunning - he has a true talent for capturing the most incredible moments that will transport us back to our special day every time we look at the photos. John took all of our feedback and requests and brought them to life, never being intrusive but always in control to ensure we had the most seamless experience. His professionalism and care about our wants and needs in the lead up to the wedding really paid off. We received sneak peeks the very next day and the full album in less than a month. John is a true professional who is an absolute blast to work with, and we are so glad we invested in his services to have these stunning memories forever.

  • Great decision!

    John was our photographer for our wedding (and all wedding festivities) and captured so many special photos of my now husband and I! He truly cares about executing what your vision is. He never made me feel like I was too detail-oriented or particular, and I can definitely be overly-detailed at times! haha. He is truly committed to pleasing his clients. Not only that, but the post wedding experience of designing the layout of my wedding book has been fun instead of what could have been confusing and overwhelming. He has extreme patience and helped me create the layout for my very extensive wedding album, as well assisted in communication with an awesome leather craftsman company to design the custom cover. I feel like the wedding book is sometimes a thing that couples don’t get to, and then it never gets done, so the ease of that process made me so happy I went with John. Now my family and I will be able to cherish the wedding photos in one beautiful album to display at our house.

    John is second to none.. His attention to detail is like nothing we have ever experienced. We did not have to worry or think about a thing with John. I am so grateful to have had him at our intimate family wedding, he feels like part of the family and made us so comfortable while capturing our most intimate moments. I have used John for so many engagements over the years and look forward to many more. His professionalism and artistry simply cannot be matched.
