We had our wedding this summer and John Hope was absolutely fantastic! It has been such a bonus to look back over our beautiful photos since the wedding, but John was great from Day One.
John was in touch with us throughout our wedding planning, checking in with us about potential changes with the pandemic (we luckily managed to keep everything as planned!) and responding to emails quickly and efficiently. On the day, John was relaxed and professional, helping us to feel at ease and bringing lots of laughter into our group and couple shots which really captured the joy of the day! He knew exactly

John is such a talented photographer and when we were looking for a wedding photographer we knew we'd be getting photos that were pieces of art in themselves as well as creative and dynamic shots of us and our guests.

What can I say about John! He is just the best wedding photographer you can find! His photos really do speak for themselves (its been 8 months and our friends and family are still gushing over them) but apart from that John is friendly, flexible and extremely easy to work with. He kept us very informed through the whole process and on the day it felt like he had everything under control.
