Jeff B: In researching different photographers, we found that some companies for a base price have only one photographer, some would only work up to certain hours, or for an extra fee they could have an additional photographer or stay longer in the day. But with Penny Photography this wasn't the case.Penny Photography offers two amazing photographers and are available for the whole day for one set price. You do not have to sacrifice getting ready photos for only the bride, or worry about them leaving too early in the night. The less things you need to worry about throughout the day the better, and if you book with them, they will be there for you throughout the day.Their style of photos focuses on more of the candid shots than formal/stuffy shots which was what we were looking for. We like the style of photos of people talking, laughing and socializing with other wedding guests. People's true emotions of the day.We had an introductory Zoom call with Penny and Earl, after getting to know them within the first few minutes we discovered how friendly and personable they both are. After the call there was no second thought, they are the photographers for us! And, we were overjoyed that they wanted to work with us also.Leading up to the wedding, communication was smooth with finalizing the wedding timeline with what formal shots and group shots that we wanted. And, on the big day they were professional in organizing and providing direction that only comes with years of experience.And, a big shout out to them both for coming to the rescue and helping save the wedding dress after a herd of ants tried to make it its new home. They went over and above their duties. For this we are so thankful, they are simply the best.For weeks and even months after the wedding, we are still getting so many compliments from our wedding guests about both Penny and Earl. They fit in so well with all our family and friends, it's like we have known them for years.

Wesley Mouri: Penny and Earl are the personification of professionalism and joy! After our original photographer expressed bigotry and disapproval of our LGBTQ wedding even after agreeing to photograph the wedding, Penny and Earl were able to swoop in and save the day. They helped us reconfigure our plans and zero in on exactly what was important to us as a couple. Plus they brought back a sense of joy to the planning process.Not only are they kind and generous with their advice, they also provide specific resource documents to help plan everything from your first look, to family photos, to the ceremony, reception, and your final goodbye.I really appreciated their standard set price as well. We knew they would support every aspect of the day with no rush or time limit. The peace of mind and teamwork mindset is so worth it.Lastly, they are simply just amazing humans.

We could not recommend Penny Photographics more highly.

Samantha Rymanowski: OH MY GOODNESS I could not be happier Penny & Earl are who we decided to go with. My Fiancé and I are not the most comfortable in front of the camera, but they put us at ease, while having a blast! Our adventure session was not a typical engagement shoot with the super pose-y non sense, which is exactly what I was trying to avoid. We even took a nice little break from the cold for dinner.They've shown us a "sneak peek" of two photos and I cannot wait to see the rest! So thrilled they are tagging along with us to Mexico for our wedding next year. 3 TEAM PENNY & EARL FOREVERUpdate 2022 after wedding: Such a wonderful couple to work with and am happy to say I've gained two friends out of it as well.

Brey Nelson: Earl and Penny are phenomenal. We had multiple touch points prior to the wedding and their questionnaires were really helpful for planning. They were super fun to have with us all day, and we got a ton of compliments on how great they were to work with. This was from family and friends that hadn’t even seen their work! Earl will in fact jump around with keys to attract the attention of children and Penny will absolutely crawl into the weeds to get an awesome nature shot. They even kept us hydrated when no one else thought of water!! It was fantastic to have both of them all day full day with no worry of not having enough hands or time for all the photos we desired! Also, a husband and wife team is just so fun.

Düğünümüze gerçekten yatırım yaptığını ve fotoğraflarımızı sevmemizi istediğini söyleyebiliriz. Onu şiddetle tavsiye ediyoruz!

Briana Wilson: . Zamanını çok verimli kullanıyor ve seanstaki her şeyi asistanıyla hallediyor. Sadece arkanıza yaslanıp sihrin gerçekleşmesini izleyeceksiniz. Jessica'yı gelecekte aile portreleri için kesinlikle kullanacağız. Jessica'ya çok teşekkür ederim!

Lauren Morse-Wendt: Jessica, 2 yaşındaki oğlumuzun doğum günü için aile fotoğrafları çekti. Tek kelimeyle olağanüstüydüler. Yıllardır onun çalışmalarına hayran kaldım ve hatta beklentilerimin ötesine geçti. Utangaç küçük çocuğumun neşesini nasıl çıkaracağını tam olarak biliyordu, onun kişiliğini örneklendirecek çekimler yapmaya odaklandı ve isteklerimizi yerine getirdi. Gerçekten bebekli veya çocuklu aile fotoğrafları arayan herkese Jessica'yı tavsiye ederim!

Haley Schroeder: JM Photography'den Jessica çok harikaydı ve birlikte çalışması kolaydı. Düğünümüzden önce hem nişan fotoğraflarımız hem de düğün fotoğraflarımız için kendisiyle rezervasyon yaptırdık. Tüm sorularımıza zamanında cevap verdi ve bu da düğün planlama kaygısını hafifletti. Tüm doğru cevapları verdi ve büyük günle ilgili sinirlerin yatışmasına gerçekten yardımcı oldu!Jessica son derece esnektir ve müşterilerinin istediği şekilde işlerin yürümesini sağlar. Sonbaharda nişan fotoğrafları istedik ama hava uygun değildi. Onları soğuk ve yağmurlu bir cumartesi öğleden sonra götürdük ama o bunu eğlenceli hale getirdi ve harika çıktılar!Yaptığı işe gelince, o birinci sınıf! Ocak ayında düğünümüzü yaptık, hem içeride hem de dışarıda fotoğraf çekmek için pek de kolay bir zaman olmadığını tahmin ediyorum ve o da BAŞARDI! Fotoğraflarımız muhteşem çıktı. Büyük günümüzü yakalamak için daha iyi fotoğraflar isteyemezdim! Verimli/esnek, yaratıcı ve son derece arkadaş canlısı bir fotoğrafçı arıyorsanız JM Photography'yi seçin!

Julie Mickschl: Jessica'yı 2007 yılında nişan fotoğraflarımızı çekecek bir fotoğrafçı ararken bulduk... ve daha mutlu olamazdık! Fotoğraflarımızla kesinlikle harika bir iş çıkardı, bu yüzden 2012'de ilk çocuğumuzu beklerken yeni doğan bebeğimizi ona götürmemiz gerektiğini biliyorduk! Çığlık atan sıcak bir fırsat olan "benimle büyüyün" paketini satın aldık! Yenidoğan seansını, 6 aylık seansı ve 12 aylık seansı planladık. Söylemeye gerek yok, her oturumdaki tüm fotoğrafları sevdik ve aslında ne satın alacağımıza dair defalarca uğraştık!İkinci çocuğumuz Mayıs ayında doğacak ve Jessica ile yeni doğan seansını çoktan planladık çünkü onunla harika bir deneyim yaşadık! Onun ya da çektiği fotoğraflar hakkında yeterince iyi şeyler söyleyemem!

Jillian Klein: Doğum ve yenidoğan fotoğraflarımızı rezerve etmeden önce Jessica ile tanıştık ve onun bizim için doğru kişi olduğunu hemen anladık! Çalışmaları ÇOK profesyonel görünüyordu; o bir fotoğrafçıdan çok daha fazlası, gerçek bir sanatçı. Ben yaklaşık 37 haftalık hamileyken, doğum fotoğraflarımızla harika bir iş çıkardı... bizi tamamen rahatlattı ve bizim için güzel hatıralar yakaladı. Kasım ayında kızımız doğdu ve Jessica henüz 10 günlükken yeni doğan fotoğraflarını çekti. Kıvranan bebeğimize karşı çok sabırlıydı ve ondan harika fotoğraflar çektik... Hala neredeyse her gün onlardan iltifat alıyorum! Kızımızın 6 aylık ve 1 yıllık fotoğraflarını sabırsızlıkla bekliyorum çünkü onların da aynı derecede muhteşem olacağını biliyorum!

Lindsay Beuning: Jessica ile son 3 yılda yenidoğan ve aile fotoğrafları çekimleri için birkaç kez çalıştık ve her seferinde muhteşemdi. İlk deneyimimiz şu an 3 yaşında olan kızımızla yenidoğan seansıydı. Fotoğrafları o kadar sevdik ki, geçtiğimiz Eylül ayında ikinci çocuğumuzu beklerken onunla yeni bir yenidoğan seansı rezervasyonu yapmaya karar verdik. İkinci kızımız oldukça sarıydı ve hareket ettirilme ve konumlandırılma konusunda oldukça huysuzdu. Jessica sihrini kullandı ve kendisinin ve ailemizin birlikte harika fotoğraflarını çekti.Ayrıca geçmişte dönüm noktalarını yakalamak ve aile fotoğraflarını güncellemek için birkaç mini oturum da yapmıştık. Kısıtlı bir süreye rağmen Jessica, nihai sonuçla bizi her zaman şaşırttı. Ömür boyu müşterimiz olacağız!

Lindsay Jukua: Düğününüz bittikten sonra, elinizde sadece o özel günü yeniden yaşamak için anılar ve fotoğraflar kalır; bu nedenle, her şeyi en iyi fotoğrafçının yakalamasını istediğimizi biliyorduk ve size şunu söyleyeyim: JM Fotoğrafçılık en iyisidir!Aile fotoğrafları, doğum seansları ve yeni doğan fotoğrafları gibi hayatın tüm dönüm noktaları için gelecekte Jessica'yı kullanmayı sabırsızlıkla bekliyoruz, tam olarak kimi arayacağımızı biliyoruz!Jessica'yı rezerve etmeyi düşünüyorsanız, YAPIN! Bunu yaptığınıza çok sevineceksiniz; kesinlikle öyleyiz!

Erin Bakken: JM Fotoğrafçılık'tan yeterince övgüyle söz edemiyorum! Kızım Ellie, yeni doğan fotoğraflarını çektiğimizde yedi günlüktü. Neredeyse tam iki hafta erken gelmişti ama Jessica çok yardımseverdi ve bizi başka bir annenin bebeğinin geç kalması nedeniyle ortaya çıkan bir açılışta yeniden planladı.Jessica ve asistanı Ellie'yi sakinleştirip sakinleştirdiler ve onun en sevimli fotoğraflarını çektiler. Seansın sonuna doğru bazı aile fotoğraflarımızı çektiler ve bunlar şimdiye kadarki en sevdiğim fotoğraflardan bazıları - ve normalde kendi fotoğraflarımı sevmiyorum!Profesyonelliği, verimliliği, esnekliği ve becerileri nedeniyle JM Fotoğrafçılık'ı şiddetle tavsiye ediyorum - JM'ye karar vermeden önce yaklaşık yedi fotoğrafçıyı daha araştırdım. Beni onlara çeken şey fotoğrafın tarzı ve güzel, zengin renkleriydi.- Erin Bakken

Tiffany Truong: Eileen is amazing! She was our wedding photographer 4 years back and every year from there we’ve had her shoot our annual family photos. She does well with our kids in a short amount of time and love that she has a variety of options when it comes to poses, and locations. Highly recommend Eileen to everyone

Erin Boggs: We did a fall mini session shoot with Eileen! She is very kind and professional and had a lot of fun with us! She was very patient with our less than cooperative dogs as well! She was great and I would recommend working with her to anyone considering!

Jennifer Rislund: The best of the best! We love Eileen so much. She takes amazing photos every time we work with her. It’s hard getting real smiles out of my 7 and 4 year old, yet I know we’ll always have plenty of good shots to pick from. I can’t sing her praises loud enough!

Lori Schmitt: We love Eileen!! She’s been taking our family photos for the last 7 years. The pictures always turn out so much better than I expect. She makes it easy, quick and her turn around time is speedy. We will be back next year for the fall mini sessions! Thank you, Eileen!

Sara Aho: Positive:Professionalism,Quality,Value10 out of 10 recommend Eileen!!! She’s been photographing our family since our first son was a year old. Her pictures are amazing and she’s always so patient with our kids and golden retriever 🙂

Sarah McCullough: and Eileen is still able to capture some awesome images. She was super flexible as we changed plans to try to be as safe as possible during the pandemic. Multiple guests at our ceremony said how great she is to work with and are impressed by her photos. Her sister Jul helped during the ceremony and was so lovely to have present even though we did not get to chat much. Absolutely recommend working with Eileen 100%! As other reviews say, she has a great laugh too!

Joana Sicoli: Positive:Professionalism,Quality,Responsiveness,Value

Kelsey Ranallo: Eileen is the best! She did our wedding back in 2018 and recently took some family photos of my husbands family and our 6 furry family members to surprise his mom for Christmas. Eileen was quick, reasonably priced, and got some priceless shots of us amid all the chaos of the dogs/cats! I would recommend her in a heartbeat.

Eliza Krauter: We absolutely adore Eileen! She has taken more photos of my family over the last 7 years than I can count. We started with engagement pictures, then our wedding and now every birth and family session is captured by her. She is always smiling and patient with my young kiddos. We love her and would recommend her for any occasion. ❤

Robert Bierwerth: They were extremely professional, talented, and helpfully through the whole process. Highly recommend using them worth every penny .

Cassandra Lawin: From the moment we first met with Preston--it was clear that not only was he a savvy business-owner with a fabulous team behind him, but that he was able to make personal connections with ease that we knew would benefit us on what would surely be one of the more hectic days of our lives. The day of our wedding we received SO many complements on Preston and his team--they navigated our day and our guests with smiles and professionalism that are unparalleled. Most importantly---his work is breathtaking. We absolutely love our photos, and cherish the album that his team created. We can't wait to work with Preston in the future, and are so happy we purchased a package with him that allows us to do so!

Marc Weinberg: best friend. We were enormously impressed by his work and discovered in a stroke of good fortune that he was free on the weekend of our wedding as well. We had an extremely positive experience with Brovado and wanted to be sure our review included all the points we hope might be helpful to prospective future couples.Preston was very accommodating during the lead-up to the wedding, and actually flew into Madison

hollas 01: . My husband and I would make the choice again in a heart beat, we trusted them completely and when you have so many things to worry about on your wedding day not having to worry about your photographer is the best attribute. Can't wait to work with them in the future!!!

John Besser: Preston and his crew are incredible. Everything about Brovado Weddings is world-class! We hired Preston as our photographer and from our first meeting we knew we were in good hands.Services we bought: Engagement photos, wedding invites, wedding photography and videography, photo booth, wedding video and wedding album.Preston and Liz helped us design our invites and thank you cards. They turned out amazing. We got so many compliment on them. Our wedding album came with a small defect and Preston went to bat for us and got us a brand new one for free. He accepts nothing but the highest quality for his customers.The day of our wedding his entire team was early, set up and ready to go. They were so fun to work with and by the end of the day they felt like part of our family. Preston has this sixth sense about him where he have this ability to be in the right spots at the right time to not only get the perfect photo but to capture the emotion of what is happening. He has a passion for quality and exceeding expectations.Looking back on our big day my wife and I both agreed that it was by far the best money we spent on our wedding. The number one question or comment we got after was "Wow, who did you hire as the photographer?" "They were unbelievable!"Because of Preston and Liz and the whole Brovado crew, my wife and I are able to re-live our wedding for years to come.

Jessica Jones: for our wedding! Preston is probably one of the coolest guys ever! AND so is his wife Liz! They are just really good, honest people! AND Preston is CRAZY talented! We were not the typical couple that loved taking pictures and had a list of poses for the big day...Preston knew that and took complete control! There is not a single picture I wouldn't frame!Also after the day is over they still care a lot about you! Making our wedding album with the VERY talented Rachel was such a FUN process! I would 100% recommend jumping up a couple packages to include the wedding album because it is AMAZING! Nothing like it! You will NOT regret it! AND I also just fell in love with Preston and Liz so the fact that we are clients for life is awesome because we at least get to hang out with this super cool couple once a year:-

Colin Johnson: , we can not wait to send out to everyone!I speak for myself and my wife when I say we couldn't be happier with our decision to work with Brovado.

Robbie Anderson: adventures!

Nohman Baysudee: I can't say enough amazing things about working with Preston. His down to earth personality makes him super likable, easy to work with and very flexible. We told him we wanted our wedding photos to appear fun and natural- nothing too staged and he definitely delivered what we wanted. He allowed us to customize our photography-wedding package and tailor it more to our needs, which other photographers were not willing to do. We ended up working with Preston at our engagement party and on our wedding day, which we are so grateful for! He made an extra effort to capture special moments for us at both our engagement party and on our wedding day that we would not have otherwise had.On my wedding day, Preston made the biggest difference. He came with his team, scoped out my venue and was familiar with the most gorgeous surrounding areas for amazing pictures both inside and outdoors. I didn't have to scope anything out in advance. I 100% trusted Preston to make all photography destination decisions for the bride and groom pictures, bridal party pictures and family photos and I am so glad I did. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a photographer with a great personality and a wonderfully artistic eye. He has the most incredible visions for photography. His photos are unique and simply gorgeous.Preston prioritizes the bride and the groom. He made us feel comfortable and advised us to just have fun with our day. Thinking back, I never had to fake a smile. We took Preston's advice and had fun! More importantly, it felt like we were taking pictures with our friend, not someone we hired, which really helped. Preston used his creativity to set us up for the most amazing pictures with incredible scenery. We laughed throughout all of our photos. Preston made sure my husband and I were taken care of- he came prepared with water and small snacks, which really came in handy!!The Brovado team was so organized, worked seamlessly with everyone involved and helped make our day totally stress free! I am so lucky to be able to say I wouldn't have changed anything about my wedding day, and I know I have Preston and his team to thank for so much of that!

Jen Thomas: We just had our engagement photos with Preston a few weeks ago. It was great! I came up with the place, the classic spot of the Stone Arch Bridge, and he knew exactly where to go to get great shots! I now wish I would have picked a different spot just because I do realize how many other people usually pick that same spot... poor Preston, always having to shoot to the same spot. But, with that being said, he did a GREAT job of making our engagement pictures not look like anyone else's. Ours still turned out unique and artistic, just the way I wanted them and my number one requirement for a photographer. A solid photographer was my number one request for our wedding events, and we got one!Now, my fiance on the other hand, was not looking forward to taking pictures, and a wedding photographer was on the bottom of his list. He thought we could have just anyone take our pictures... some boys, I tell ya! Well, you know what they say, happy wife, happy life! I got my way, so my fiance had to come along for pictures. He was really glad he did because he had a FANTASTIC time and raved about it for days after. Him and Preston hit it off right away! We had soooooooo much fun! Preston knew exactly where to take us, how to direct us for each shot, keep us laughing and in high spirits the whole time. My fiance and I are both very excited to take more pictures for our wedding and work with Preston again! I would recommend him to anyone looking for a photographer with a great personality and a wonderfully artistic eye. As you can see from his work, Preston does a great job of getting a mix of landscape shots and close up shots of you and still manages to frame the shots just right and pack them full of colors and contrasts. All of which, in my mind, make up perfect pictures!

Kayla Popova: Preston is simply amazing. Not only is he a spectacular photographer, but he is so personable, detailed, and thoughtful. He makes sure you have all the photos you want of your special day and has great vision for making stunning photos. The one aspect I recommend investing in for your wedding is your photographer because you can carry the photos with you throughout the years--plus photos help to keep the day alive in your memory. Preston and Brovado Photography will exceed your expectations with this.

Lindsey Doyle: . In our minds he went above and beyond to make sure our special day would go exactly as we had planned!The night before our wedding, Preston and his assistants came and captured pictures of the excitement of our family and friends leading up to our big day at our rehearsal dinner. They were up bright and early with us the next morning at the salon to capture my bridesmaids and I getting ready for the big day. THEY WERE A BLAST! Not only is Preston great, but everyone at Brovado weddings is truly amazing! The day of the wedding everything went so smoothly and there was so much positive and fun energy from not only our wedding party, but our photographers as well!Later, at the wedding reception we literally had guests coming up to us complimenting the photographers. People are still going on and on about how wonderful our photographers were and asking for their information and it’s been 2 months since our wedding.We just saw our wedding preview pictures. I had been anxiously awaiting them and certainly didn't believe that after only a week after the wedding they had a preview album up for us to view- but they did! When I opened the album and saw the photo's I instantly had a rush of emotions and felt the exact way I did the day of the wedding. I could not stop crying. They captured everything. We could not be more impressed with Brovado weddings and we never dreamt that we could have wedding photographs that looked like they had come from a magazine. We have received so many compliments on the photos. "These look like they could be in a bridal magazine" or "These are the most beautiful wedding pictures I have ever seen." We are so thankful that although the excitement of the big day is over, we have photographs that we can look at that make us feel like we are reliving the day all over again. We are no longer those people hoping we would find the perfect photographer and that we end up with amazing wedding pictures; we are smiling because we know we found him and we have beautiful pictures to remember the most important day of our life!We just received all of our pictures and the design for the gorgeous wedding album. We could not be happier with them and we are so excited to share them with our friends and family. Thank you Preston for EVERYTHING you did for us. You truly are the best there is!

Rosina Hussain: I don't think 5 Stars is enough! If I could change the rating system, I would have Brovado at 100 stars!!!!We LUCKED out when we found Preston by searching for photographers on google. I spent hours on wedding websites and was not really impressed by the sample photos I saw for the listed photographers. Lucky for me, google pulled up Brovado Photography and I started to read the reviews. All of the reviews raved about Preston and now after working with him, I know that everything is true!First off, I have never heard of a photographer invite someone over to their home, and prepare an amazing cultural meal for potential clients. I expressed to Preston that we were planning a fusion "Indian/ Caucasian" wedding and wanted someone who knew what the important traditions of the Indian culture were, so that we didn't miss out on any of the pictures. He invited us over to look at indian wedding photos he took when he went to india. The photos were amazing and exactly what we were looking for! Along with that, he had indian tea and snacks prepared for us... This just shows how thoughtful and awesome Preston is!Engagement shoot photos are still being talked about by our families. Preston met us 3 times, once had to be rescheduled for weather, and the last time was to try out something new that he thought of..lets just say that Preston thinks out of the box for fun, unique ideas!After seeing a few of the wedding photos that Preston capture, our family & friends can't get over how amazing they are! The attention paid to the details is priceless. Preston is one of the most talented photographers I've ever met. He knows how to capture the important moments without making you take a million pictures. His laid back attitude and funny personality really just makes the wedding day fly by smoothly. Our wedding day was chaotic, but Preston & his whole team really made our day! I called them "our wedding day coordinator & photographers in one" They were with us for the entire day, helped us get ready, got everyone together and made sure we were happy.They even got us food and drinks while we were running around taking pictures. Literally, I've never met such an amazing team.I could go on for pages on how awesome the whole Brovado team is. Everyone from Preston to the editor to the videographer is phenomenal. I couldn't have asked for a better team to work with. They are so great that we hired Preston for a family event after our engagement shoot, as well as private family photos for this fall. I look forward to working with Preston again! I can't stop recommending him to family and friends. If you are looking for a photographer who is fun, organized and talented, I would highly recommend contacting Preston to help capture the most important days of your life!

abigail eddy: Everyone tells you that your wedding day goes by very fast and most of it is a blur. Many people say that you don't really know what was done and who was involved until you see your photos. Well today Preston sent me our wedding photos. The website they are on is super easy to navigate and really easy to use... I was in awe at how wonderful our photos turned out! Who knew we were photogenic! Each photos showed me something that I remembered or something I had missed. It brought back all those memories and emotions from that day. He caught the importance of that exact moment. He allowed us to keep those feelings and memories forever. AMAZING JOB to you and your crew! These photos are beyond what we expected! These photos will remind us of that amazing day forever. Thank you. My entire family thanks you.

Iriana Chizek: and be there to capture a lifetime of memories for us; his creativity and the way he captures the beauty of a single moment - we knew he was the one who was going to bring out the best in our wedding!The personality of the whole team, their professionalism, and their amazing talent speaks for itself. Don't hesitate on booking Brovado Wedding Photography for your engagement shoot and wedding, you won't regret it!

K Erbach: .I was so impressed with Brovado's online portfolio that I began an immediate campaign to work with them at our Glensheen wedding. Their ability to capture and powerfully showcase emotion, once in a lifetime moments, and environmental elements and influences is unmatched.Preston's presence and confidence at our wedding added immensely to the positive energy, calm feelings, and on-the-spot troubleshooting

Paul Economon: John Wagner is one of the best photographers in the midwest. Top notch excellence always.

Megan Mac: If I could give the wonderful John Wagner more than 5 stars I would. I am a hair and make-up artist and have been working with John since the middle of spring 2013. He is truly a talented and very knowledgeable photographer. What makes John even better is that he is a fun, energetic, person that makes all his clients feel comfortable no matter what their age. I have a great time doing the career I love and when I can go to work around others,like John, that feel the same way about their career it makes a person feel like your all just hanging out and having a great time. #lovingjohnwagnerphotography

His expertise in photography and bringing out the true model in each person is effortless and fun. His studio provides a very comfortable environment for new and current clients.The make-up artists he recommends are very talented, and easy to work with as well. Both John and his make-up artists have a common goal to bring out and capture the absolute, best look within each individual they are shooting.I could not be more satisfied with the photos John has taken of me over the past 20 years. They are pieces of my life I will cherish forever.
