Songbird Weddings Photography

! John was very personable and was easy to communicate with in the weeks leading up to the wedding, which was a huge asset as I was planning the wedding from the other side of Texas.

relaxed. For the ceremony and reception, he was well-prepared and unobtrusive, allowing us to focus on our special day instead of worrying about the photography. John caught all the memorable moments, and provided the final photo set more promptly than we had expected. I am so glad I entrusted my wedding memories to Songbird Weddings!

ptured not just the standards. They were very flexible and calm and always did a great job of communicating! I also felt their rates were more than reasonable, especially for all the photos we received! I felt completely at ease with both of them which was extremely important because my husband and I aren't huge fans of having our photos taken! My husband and I were thrilled with the quality of the photos as well as the warmth and professionalism with which John and Amy approached our engagement photo shoot and our wedding. We were truly blessed to have a team so talented and dedicated. I will treasure our photos and only wish we could do it every year!

rk with! John really takes the time to make you feel like he cares and is interested in your wedding! He calls his brides which I loved because it is much more personal then just writing emails. He will get back to you quickly to answer any questions and doesn't make you wait for a response. They really know how to capture those special moments of the wedding and they give you a great variety of pictures! The quality of their pictures is incredible, the equipment they use is great and the all of our pictures are the clearest I have ever seen! They were so professional on our wedding day and everyone in our families complemented us on how nice and easy to work with they were! I would definitely recommend them to anyone and guarantee you will get great quality pictures that you will love forever!

angel! As my wife and I exchanged gifts before our ceremony I started to worry why our scheduled photographer wasn't on site? When I called to check in I was shocked to discover she thought our Friday wedding was on Saturday!! In desperation while trying to stay calm I called around to ask guests who were still on their way to bring the biggest camera they could find ;-) Meanwhile our original photographer called John to fill in completely on the spot. With a moments notice (serendipity saves as he lived down the road) John was on site, fully charged and prepared, smartly dressed and calm cool and collected. He introduced himself to us for the first time and blended right into the moment capturing some of our favorite photographs of the ceremony! Every second John spent with us, our family and our friends was professionally handled. What could have been a wedding day nightmare was instead a wedding miracle.

ed day of photographer. John appeared on site, looked and acted very professional. Immediately He knew exactly the pace and flow of the wedding and was able to anticipate the best views/angles to capture wonderful moments throughout the ceremony. The quality of the "raw" / unedited photos were stunning. I am forever grateful for John's attention to detail and thoughtfulness during his shoot at our wedding. I have enjoyed seeing him at other events and published in magazines. I highly reccomend John and Songbird Weddings for your Wedding Photographer. You can rest assured you will have beautiful wedding photos by Songbird!

he silly details and (2) get a better photographer. So I was all worried about finding a great photographer, but then I was referred to Songbird Weddings...and almost a year later, I still love my wedding photos. If you want beautiful pictures taken by people who are easy, fair, talented, attentive, and all-around great to work with, this is your photographer. Songbird's portfolio speaks for itself, but it doesn't show you just how pleasant these folks are to work with. Seriously, give John a call or add him to your list of possible photographers (however you're planning this). I had a bazillion things to worry about when planning my wedding; John made sure the photos were excellent while still letting everyone have fun and relax and enjoy the celebration. He caused me literally no stress, which is priceless. I don't think I could have made a better choice.

making lists and so I wrote down the names of over twenty-five photographers in the Austin area. I then looked at each person’s albums and website. I wanted a professional who could capture color, the personality of my fiancé and I and provide a product that I could afford. After taking notes on all of the photographers, I narrowed my list down to five people. I then called each of them and did a quick phone interview to see how well we would be able to communicate with each other. Some people look good on paper but have personalities that are hard to work with. Out of ALL of the people I interviewed, John was my favorite so I hired him. After working with John, this is what I have learned: He is not only very talented but also really passionate about his work. He always returns my calls and was on time for all of our meetings. He provided us with an epic amount of photos of our wedding day. My family and friends are still commenting on how hard John and Amy worked and how beautiful the photos were. If you want to be confident that your photographer will do an awesome job and want to cross one of the MANY things off your list of things to do… hire John. His pictures are wonderful.

rking with John. We haven't gotten our wedding photos back yet, but we were extremely pleased with our engagement pictures!

ve out of town, so everything before the big day was done through email and phone conversations. John was extremely prompt and accommodating with our situation. We got married at Thurman's Mansion in Driftwood, and were looking to really incorporate the rustic aspect to the atmosphere. We also wanted a more photojournalistic approach to our pictures. He really took notes as to our vision. On the day, John and Amy were so easy to work with, and so much fun. Even though the turnaround time for pictures was over Christmas and New Year, John was extremely prompt with delivering the pictures. All of the pictures are so amazing; so many specific moments and details were captured. Every time I look at them I cry because there is so much emotion captured in so many of them. The pictures truly reflect the vision I had for the wedding (especially with the pictures outside- the sky and backgrounds are so prominent, so gorgeous!). I would highly recommend Songbird Weddings to anybody!

hotos he took. In addition, he added a good dose of creativity to some of the posed shots we took. He was clearly very committed to letting his artistry and creativity shine through. We could not have asked for more.

t want) and had a great eye and good energy. The value of my portrait and wedding package was better than any of the 30+ photographers I contacted before finding Songbird Weddings. After both my portraits and wedding the turn around time to receive the pictures was very prompt. I highly recommend John and his team!

the cost of his service was a complete surprise and well with in mine or any brides budget!

I would have ever expected. I WILL definitely be calling them for my future Events and any other photography that I will need in the future! Thank you for capturing my special day!! :)

ll. I was also really happy to see what a perfectionist he was. He wanted the poses and lighting to be perfect for his standards even though I thought everything looked great. He was a perfectionist but it did not slow down anything at all. For the actual reception which was held in a dark room and was basically a big dance party I was super impressed with the quality of the pictures. The picture lighting was great and really impressive since it was in such a dark room, and he really was able to get great pictures of us and our guests. Also my wedding ran way behind schedule and longer than scheduled and he stayed till the end which I was super grateful for. He was also really great at being able to adjust to the change in basically everything of the reception schedule. His price is also great! He also has really good packages on his website, but if you don't use one of the packages he will work with you to get what you want. I was very happy with his work and I would definitely use him again and recommend him to anyone who asks.

and family having a blast. This was so much more important to me than some stiff, posed portraits that don't have any REAL emotion behind them. I love looking at all of our wedding photos because not only is the composition, lighting, etc. beautiful...but they are so real, I can relive that night over and over again!

be great and he'd capture the day as we remembered it. John is an extremely hard worker! He is easy to communicate with and was super attentive to our requests and concerns, which only added to the fun experience of our wedding.

h (he taught my sister-in-laws how to pose). I would recommend John a million times over.
