About this vendor
Check out my website for details. www.hudetzphotography.com
I have maintained a passion for wedding photography after photographing 500+ weddings. I recognize each wedding is unique unto itself and my job is to document that uniqueness in the most artistic and non-intrusive way possible. I encourage my clients to ignore me and just focus on each other...that way we can get "real" killer shots. For formals and special bridal couple portraits we will work together to create some magical images employing elements of romance and fun.
My base cost is $250/hour which includes editing all images, converting some of your images to B&W. and providing you a private password protected web gallery where you can download all your final edited pictures as high resolution digital files. You also have unlimited rights to all your final edited pictures.

John could seriously not have done a better job. He captured awesome candid shots and was totally game to go for a hike to get spectacular shots of my fiancé and I at Plaza Blanca....
I highly recommend him.

the family etc. John has the ability to take pictures of the wedding/reception without being a distraction from the event, and what a gentleman he is! The guests and loved ones enjoyed him, and he is calm under pressure, and works well with all. We couldn’t be more happy with how the photos turned out for our oldest daughter’s wedding! We would definitely use John again for our next child that marries!

John did an incredible job capturing our wedding. We wanted a photographer who wouldn't distract the guests or ourselves from the wonderful memories. John was able to record the li...
ttle moments as well as the big moments. He is a true professional and an amazing artist. There are so many pictures that we cherish and that reflect our day perfectly. My husband and I loved most that John captured moments we did not see ourselves that day. We felt like we saw a larger picture of our wedding through John's camera. You will not be disappointed!!

interrupting it. They came out amazing! The lighting was incredible, even though we had rain part of the day. The pictures of the guests and kids were such a gift. I even got photos of the father/daughter dance that I didn't think were possible because my father is handicapped. I am so grateful that I will have those memories for the rest of our lives. Definitely one of the best choices we made! Thank you!
