John Woodward Photography

ABSOLUTE LEGEND! and Best photographer ever! Not only is john SO much fun - he is kind, caring and made me feel at ease throughout all of my big day. Me and my hubby now feel a bit sad writing this as we don't know when we will see John again! haha! Honestly the snaps of the photos we have so far, are perfect. I will forever recommend you John - and of course show people the brilliant dance moves you have - very similar to sams actually haha! Thank you for being such a huge part of our day, we wish we could do it all over again. THANK YOU SO MUCH x

John takes great photos - but more than that, he’s really just an asset to your event. He’s such a great guy, so many people after our wedding told us how nice he was and great with kids and everything. He helped everything run smoothly, never took away from us just having a good time, and was so positive the whole day even when the weather conditions were a bit … challenging! Choosing John as our wedding photographer was honestly one of the best wedding planning decisions we made!

We honestly cannot recommend John enough, he was the best, most genuine and incredible photographer and we just want to say a massive thank you so much for being a part of our special day! From the first time we met him over zoom due to booking during covid, we instantly had a connection and knew he was going to be the perfect person to capture our wedding day. We had our pre-wedding shoot at the embankment in Bedford and as it was the first time John had been there, it was exciting for the three of us to just explore and have fun! He instantly made us feel happy and at ease. Fast forward to our wedding day, he absolutely exceeded our expectations and captured some of the best photos ever! The way he got the cheeky, natural and magical photos has blown us both away! John literally went above and beyond and helped our firework night wedding go off with a bang! Thank you John! Lots of love from Georgina and Jake x

John is an incredible photographer – not only does he take amazing shots, but he is also the friendliest person and put both us and our guests at ease. We had seen some of John’s work on Instagram before we reached out to him (take a look and you’ll see how fabulous his work is) and from the moment we first reached out to him we were met with warmth and openness. We arranged a Zoom call and he was genuinely interested to hear about us as a couple and our vision of our big day. He also helped put us in touch with our fantastic videographer. The pre-wed shoot with John was also a brilliant bonus (which most photographers make you pay extra for!) because it really got us used to the camera and how it’d be on the big day. Plus we got some extra lovely photos of us to treasure.When it came to the big day John was there bright and early, despite me having an earlier than usual getting ready time. He fitted in so well with the wedding party and our other suppliers. He somehow achieved an incredible balance of being friendly and chatty but also blending in so that we didn’t ever feel uncomfortable, sometimes we forgot he was there (in a good way!). Our guests absolutely loved him as well, we had so many people raving about him afterwards! The shots he took were beautiful – the perfect mix of the usual “staged” shots (with family etc) but also some really lovely candid shots. He also has an incredible artistic flare, we got our photos a while back now but whenever we look through our gallery we just keeping saying “wow” over and over!John really felt like a part of the family and we were genuinely sad to say goodbye to him at the end of the day. We really cannot recommend John highly enough!

We had our wedding back in July 2022 and John was simply fantastic from start to finish!! He made the whole day fun and relaxed with some amazing pictures at the end of it!!John is a great guy who made everyone at our wedding feel relaxed and part of the day! John has a great eye for detail, capturing so many moments that we would have missed.It’s true, all good things come in small packages!Thank you again! Can we do it all again??!!

John did an absolutely fantastic job for us as the photographer at our wedding. Not only did he capture all the important pictures that you want but he also captured the natural expressions, smiles and laughter in the background which produced some brilliant pictures!Included in our package we had a pre-wedding shoot with John which again was great. It helped us to get to know him and as he is so cheerful and friendly, we soon became comfortable in front of the camera.It’s very clear that John is passionate about his work and takes pride in the pictures that he takes as a very talented photographer. The images we received were processed and delivered to us very quickly and professionally presented.I cannot recommend John enough, you certainly won’t be disappointed with his work!Mr & Mrs Cook.

My wife and I cannot speak highly enough of John. From the first time we reached out to him to long after our wedding day, the service that John provides is personal, thoughtful and all round enjoyable.When we initially decided to use John as our wedding photographer, we had seen a handful of his photos previously and webhow John captures the emotion of the moment. There seems to be nothing manufactured in his images and even more formal photos feel completely natural. After an initial zoom call and chat about what we wanted our wedding day to be and getting to know John a little better, we were sent a little thank you through the post. This was completely unexpected and not at all required but shows the thoughtfulness and personal touch that John provides.John was also incredibly helpful with recommendations for other parts of our wedding day and his connections within the industry meant that he was at the centre of a bubble of wedding professionals that worked brilliantly well together.In the run up to our wedding day, we had a trial photoshoot with John. For me, this was essential as posing in front of a camera has never been something I’ve been particularly good at! However, John’s calm and silly demeanour really helped to relax us into it and make it a genuinely enjoyable experience.On our wedding day, John was simply magnificent. John organised shots without being pushy or overbearing, he took natural photos when we didn’t even know he was there. John was never intrusive and allowed us to enjoyed our day but at the same time made sure we had a large set of fantastic photos that we will cherish forever.We received the photos in the time that John had said they would take, along with a lovely box in the post with a USB, a lovely note, hard copies of a selection of his favourite snaps and 2 tea bags to enjoy while we take a look through. Again, it’s these nice touches that really make you feel special and valued by John.We wouldn’t have wanted anyone else to photograph our wedding and we feel so privileged to have met John and hope we keep in touch in the future!!

Booking with John was a breeze. One zoom call later and he was booked. I loved all of johns wedding photography work and knew he would fit in perfectly at our wedding. The wedding came and it rained ALL day. Luckily John managed to create beautiful pictures still inside rather than outside. John managed to grab us with the ten minute gap when it stopped raining to get a few outside too! We are so happy John managed to keep an eye on the weather whilst doing his job, as to be honest, I didn’t know when it was raining and when it was not. (Wine&dancing) He organised the best ‘walk in’ confetti throw even though it was P*SSING it down and managed to get the perfect pictures (you wouldn’t know it was even raining)Half the time I didn’t even know John was there as he just fitted in with the guests!! He captured the day perfectly. Thanks again :)Rachel & Alex

We recently had John as our wedding photographer, and he was brilliant! What a fun, down to earth guy he is, really put us at ease and made us laugh a lot! Our wedding photos turned out amazing, a real mix from the beginning of the day, right to the end of the party. I’m so pleased John didn’t disappear after the first dance (like many photographers do). It was like John was just another wedding guest having a good time! Just what we wanted. Thanks so much John, I’d recommend you to anyone!

We had John work his magic at our wedding in July this year. A few minutes after our initial chat at the pre wedding shoot he knew exactly what we were aiming for, relaxed, authentic and in the moment shots is what we were after, and is exactly what he delivered!! Fitted seamlessly into our wedding day and captured some of the most amazing bits for our day! Would highly recommend to any and all, as he was highly recommended to us! GET BOOKED IN NOW!!
