Keep it Real

Your wedding is not a photoshoot. It’s a day to be experienced moment by moment. I’m there to document the emotions from the funny to the romantic; poignant to hilarious. 

As a Texas wedding photographer, my approach is refreshingly different. My philosophy - Authentic photos are created when people feel comfortable being themselves in front of the camera, and the best way to do that is by getting to know each other, having fun, and keeping it relaxed.  

Learn More About John

Reach out and let’s find a time for a quick call, video chat, or in-person meeting. The best way to see if we’re a match is to candidly talk, ask questions, and see if it feels like we can hang out and have fun together. 

During the wedding day, my goal is to be as minimally invasive as possible. From getting-ready to the end of the night, I don't want to interrupt genuine emotion, stage a moment, or ask you to repeat an action just for the sake of the photo. My job is to be ready to capture the story as it happens. The result: a set of images that truly represents who you are as a couple. 

Sneak peeks are delivered within 48 hours of the wedding day so you can share with friends and family. The full gallery is delivered within 6-8 weeks via an online platform. Share to your heart’s content and download the images in high resolution for up to 1 year. Opting for an album as part of your package? I’ll create a mock-up with the best images and we can work together to design a book that will last generations.

Frequently asked questions

How long will it take to receive my photos?

Gallery delivery for wedding images is an average time of 6-8 weeks.

Will I receive all the photos? 

Your gallery will be curated by removing all unflattering images and organized by timeline with similar parts of the day grouped together. Because you deserve the absolute best of the best.

Do we need to decide our engagement photo location?

You can choose a special location meaningful to you or collaborate with me to find the best spot that has the perfect combination of vibe + aesthetic - out in nature, the first place you had a date, your home, or in and around iconic Austin spots.

Can we see a full wedding gallery of another couple before we book?

Of course! Full galleries are available upon request. Ask and I’ll make it happen. 

Do you offer custom albums? 

Album design and image curation are available in a wide variety of sizes, materials, and colors. Feel free to add one on at the time of booking or after your gallery is delivered. They’re perfect for making sure your memories don’t just get forgotten on a hard drive, they become family heirlooms. 

Will we have access to the high resolution image files?

High-resolution downloads come standard with all galleries. So the details will be so vibrant, you’ll feel like you can touch them.

Do you offer packages with multiple photographers? 

Absolutely. The majority of my collections come with myself as the primary photographer with an associate photographer on-site at all times, especially for those moments when two activities are taking place at once. For weddings, this is particularly important for those iconic “getting ready” shots.

John Winters was so amazing to work with.

He has an awesome sense of humor and everything went well from the engagement shoot to the big day. Our pics were exactly what we wanted and the way he took the pics really highlights just how fun everything was during our wedding reception!

John Winters delivers!

What a wonderful wedding photography experience he created. We’re over the moon with our photos. These are the memories we’ll cherish for a lifetime and now we have them captured in the most creative, spirited, dramatic, and fun way - thanks to the inventiveness and talent of our photographer, John Winters.

Stephanie + Mike

I cannot recommend John enough. 

What he was able to capture was so far past our expectations, it's hard to put a review into words! The photos are so full of joy, life, movement, and love, and we could not be happier. Booking John is a decision that will keep your wedding alive forever, and you should do it!
