Jon's photographs of my daughters wedding were absolutely beautiful, but more importantly he captured the spirit of the day! Jon and his assistant were punctual, well dressed and an absolute pleasure to be around on such a joyous occassion. Also, Jon was very familiar with The Ritz Carlton and knew property welll which added to some very beautiful candid shots. I would highly recommend Jon Barber your next photographer! Debbee Heldoorn

My husband said after our shoot, "that was fun!". This quote exactly captures our experience shooting on the beach with Jon. We have a 4 and 6 year old so it can be "challenging" to get a smile, but we had tons of smiles from all of us! I would highly recommend Jon as a photographer for any event/situation. He also did an amazing job photographing our wedding 12 years ago.

Yes, in fact we wouldn't recommend anyone else! Jon is THE ONLY way to go. He's so laid back and absolutely wonderful at his job! He put me and my husband at ease on our wedding day and captured each and every moment and some we didn't even know took place! He is an artist and a true professional. Jon is personable and attentive up to and after the wedding, without being overbearing on the wedding day. He is a talented photographer and a truly remarkable person. I feel privileged to have had him photograph our wedding. Danielle Gomez-Garcia

We would absolutely recommend Barber photography. We worked with Melissa who was a joy to work with, produced fabulous photos, and somehow never seemed the least bit intrusive at the wedding. We could not be happier with the results. Melissa was professional yet fun to work with. Barber has done the pictures at several of our friends' weddings and they are always fabulous.

We met with nine photographers before selecting Jon Barber. I felt assured that we would have wonderful pictures when we decided to work with him. There was no "planning" stress, everything just seemed to flow. He was professional and fun to work with, which was very important to us on our wedding day. We are now selecting photos for our album and there are so many great shots we are having difficulty narrowing it down.

We would highly recommend Jon Barber Photography. Our pictures were so gorgeous that our wedding was featured in a magazine! He is truly an artist. He did such an amazing job of bringing to life all the colors and details. We were looking for someone who could really capture the emotion of the day we were so happy with the results.

I have never had so many fantastic photos to choose from in all my life. Jon Barber is absolutely amazing not only in the artistry he displays through his photos, but he is excellent at capturing "real" moments and emotion. He is professional, creative, and responsive to directions and input by his clilents. My husband is typically not a photogenic person, and he could not believe how good he looked in the photos that were taken. I highly recommend him for any event. Jennifer & Steen Lundblad

I cannot say enough about how thrilled we are to have had Jon Barber and his team from Barber Photography as our photographer on our wedding day! They are consummate professionals, who are clearly very excited about their work and strive to capture every beautiful moment of your wedding day, including the ones you didn't even know were happening at the time! Working with Jon was a dream. He knows how to put everyone at ease with his personable nature and goes out of his way to get those great shots. Our pictures were spectacular and he captured the magic of our wedding day; we don't know how we will ever be able to choose! Everyone at Barber Photography, including his assistant photographer Melissa, was more than helpful and extremely responsive via email and phone to respond to our questions and needs. Thank you for being such an important part of our wedding day!

John was great. He made everyone so comfortable, and we were always laughing. He has such a great eye for things that no one sees during the day - I have been so surprised at the photos of our wedding. As the bride and groom there are so many things you are involved with that you don't notice all these beautiful little gestures and expressions. John got that all on film. He has an amazing talent.

Jon and his team were amazing. They were everywhere yet we never saw them! Not only were the photos amazing but so is the album design. On top of that, they were not only pleasant but FUN to work with. I cannot imagine using anyone else to document such an important day!

John Barber 7 captured every moment of my daughter's wedding day. He made the day, from beginning to end, a moment to remember. He was so easy to work with and you never knew he was taking pictures. When we received the online photos we were so happy to see his beautiful work and all the memories that we now have saved forever. His ability to capture every moment and make it come alive, is genius. Melissa, his assistant, was an absolute pleasure to work with as well. If ever I had a question, she was quick to respond and the day of the wedding she was there taking pictures but again, never knew she was snapping shots. My daughter, her husband, her dad and I could not have been happier with Jon Barber. I can only hope that when my other daughter and son get married he will still be in the area. Thank you Jon Barber for making our day so special.

I would definitely recommend Barber Photography. Melissa Mullen of Barber Photography was awesome. She had a wonderful eye for detail. She really knew how to capture the moment, without you knowing she was even there. Her kindness and patience really lent itself to an entire weekend of wedding festivities. She was the utmost professional at all times but was also very friendly. Our Wedding and Engagement photos/proofs are beautiful. She definitely gave us more then enough to add to the memories of our magical weekend!

Strongest possible recommendation for John Barber and his team. He has an extraordinary eye for capturing essential moments; any review of his porfolio proves it. On our wedding day, he was early, devoted, hardworking, taking nonstop pictures, capturing the magic and spirit of the day. Add to that his calming presence, attention to detail (he would often fix my tie before snapping!) and generosity of spirit, and you have a true, highly creative professional. We feel honored and grateful that he was our photographer.

Absolutely out of this world!! A man with a huge talent for making you look completely natural, beautiful and unique-without any cheese!! If you want something different,and also want to capture everyone else looking stunning too on the day, he's your man. I was blown away! I thought i was unphotogenic til Mr Barber came along. We will treasure these pictures forever. Thankyou for immortalising our magical day.

John is awsome! He took wonderful pictures during our ceremony and reception that captured the excitement and joy that was felt throughout the day. He is a very easy person to get along with and lots of fun - which is really important for many people. I really don't like posing for pictures, and thanks to John, I never felt like I was. That was obvious in our pictures as well. I am so happy with the way our pictures turned out and that we have such wonderful photos to help remind us throughout the years how special that day really was.

Barber Photography was great! John and his assistant were personable and super easy to work with. They made posing for tons of pictures easy and we had a good time doing it. My husband and I, our families and friends are all extremely thrilled with the results. Sure, you may be able to find another photographer for less money, but Barber is worth every penny! Thanks!
