" As a designer I am very particular about how I like things shot. Lighting, angles, and setting are key. John let me express my opinions and he listens carefully to them. He also knows how and when to offer professional advice without stepping on any toes. He's always a pleasure, and fun, to work with."

"I was very pleased with John Shurtz's photography. As a detail oriented bride, it was important to me that every detail of my special day was just as I had planned and imagined. John met with my fiancé and I beforehand to get a feel for our style and plan which pictures were important to us. He visited the church the day before, putting my mind at ease that he would find it the next day. On my wedding day, I did not have the presence of mind to worry about things like flowers and pictures and details, but John was always in place when and where we needed him. In addition to the excellent photography, he was very in-tune to the needs of the bridal party, giving us the space we needed and being a calming influence when the excitement of the day began to wear us down. He provided me with excellent shots of the entire day -- both those things I had asked him to capture, as well as many other ideas I never would have thought of on my own. With his digital photography I had plenty of photos to choose from and now one year later, my albums provide a truly beautiful and meaningful look back on the most exciting day of my life. Thank you, John!"
