I met Johnny on the day of my sister's wedding back in 2017, and that was the day I knew I wanted to hire him for my wedding (whenever that would be).

5 long years later, I got engaged! Johnny was the first vendor I contacted, even before my church and reception venue, to make sure he was available on what I assumed would be a very popular wedding date. It was THAT important to me to have Johnny shoot my wedding day, and I believe that is a huge testament to how amazing he truly is.

We did a total of three shoots - one local engagement photoshoot, one multi-day destination photoshoot, and our wedding day. Johnny knocked every one out of the park. His artistic eye and attention to detail speaks for itself in every picture. I can't tell you how many compliments we've received on our photos. They are all breathtaking and frame-worthy!

A handful of people have told us that we look so natural behind a camera, but it really is Johnny's work that makes it look that way. He truly has a talent for making people feel comfortable behind a camera. Johnny also has a great eye and is able to come up with poses so quickly, whether it's a photo of a bride and groom or a photo of a wedding party of 17. He individually poses everyone, which is something that makes Johnny stand out in comparison to other photographers. It makes all the difference in the world in the output of photos because people usually don't know what to do with their hands and feet. Johnny is also great at time management. He was a crucial part to keeping us on track throughout the whole day, an extra role he took outside of being our photographer.

On the day of our wedding, we had Johnny and Victoria as our photographers and Hai and Ross as our videographers. The Black Frame Photos team's quality of work speaks for itself, but they also were friendly and invested time to get to know us and the wedding party. This is something that carries more weight than I initially thought when reflecting on my experience with a photographer or videographer. My advice is to choose one that goes beyond technical skill. Hiring a team you and your wedding party feel comfortable around will make your photos and videos that much better. 100/10 would recommend them!

“If you had one vendor you recommended I use for my wedding, who would it be?” Hands-down, black frame photography. Johnny and his team were everything I could ask for and more. I knew it from our very first appointment, I was in great hands. When we sat down, he ran us through the entire outline/ timeline of our wedding day (even before I knew what it would be!) I believe Johnny was the first vendor I booked, after the venue, so it was still very early on. He was extremely efficient with our time and I knew we were in good hands. He was also very flexible with us splitting our engagement photo shoot with a bridal photo shoot. Although he was on the pricier side, Black Frame Photos are more than worth it.
Word of advice, choose a photographer you enjoy spending time with because you will be spending the entire day with them. We had a blast with them. My maid of honor said “I felt like we’ve been friends with them forever. Honestly, I was so comfortable.” I am so excited to see the final product because Johnny and his team definitely got all-up-in-there, got in some daring positions to get phenomenal pictures!

Johnny is such a good photographer! We loved every photo we got back. He is so flexible too - we were able to do our engagement photos at the university we met at. Our bridal and groom party had so much fun with him the day-of when we took photos.

We also did the photobooth through Black Frame as well and it was a hit. Super easy to use and we were able to pick our back drop color.
