John Benavente Photography

John was fantastic! We had easy communication from the beginning and are absolutely thrilled with the photos he took. So many beautifully candid photos, and those that were styled come across naturally. John was fun and really great to work with on the day of our wedding. All of his ideas and suggestions were excellent. We would definitely recommend John to any couples in future!

John was the photographer at our recent wedding in Balmoral Beach. He came recommended to us and we coud not have been happier with the photos. John was so easy to work with and very accommodating of our preference to have as little time away from our guests taking photos. I can't recommend John more highly!!

John helped us to document our small, intimate wedding in November 2021 and I cannot recommend him highly enough. From the very beginning he was organised, a great communicator and he was supportive, flexible and accomodating (he stuck by us through 3 wedding attempts due to covid). On the day I hardly noticed he was there. Yet somehow he captured every moment including all the little details. He made us feel comfortable (despite us both being rather camera shy). And the photos themselves are everything I had dreamed of and more. We requested mostly candid pics and John delivered 100%. I feel so fortunate to have had John there. His work is absolutely outstanding. He is an incredible artist, professional, and an absolute pleasure to deal with

John is honestly incomparable! My husband and I could not recommend him more to shoot your wedding. He was kind and professional throughout our wedding day, he took such care with us and with editing our photos to make them perfect, and the speed at which he delivered our BEAUTIFUL photos was so appreciated by us and our families. We can’t stop looking through the gallery, each image is divine, and we are speechless. Thank you John!

John is a very talented photographer, and it was a pleasure to have him document all the elements of our wedding weekend! We could not be happier with the photos!Leading up to the wedding, John had experience at Bendooley Estate, however I wanted to cover all aspects of the Sikh Ceremony and the temple etiquettes.John covered the Sikh Ceremony and reception beautifully and respectfully and I hope that leads to more business within the Sikh community.John was a calm and professional presence during the events, which is an important trait when working with photographers. My wife was very happy with the detailed focus on the album design and we were able to select and personalise all the elements of the album to bring it to life.

John is an absolute magician. He was recommended to us by some friends and we were so lucky to have been pointed in his direction.His communication was top notch throughout, and his photos are all out of this world. Even choosing our 100 favourites for an album has been hard, there are that many great shots.Highly recommended. Great photographer, even better guy.

We booked John to capture our wedding and we couldn't have been happier or more blown away by the pictures. John captured the essence of the day perfectly and was super-lovely and wonderful to work with. His communication was excellent in the lead-up to the day, particularly considering we had to change a lot of elements due to COVID-19. I'm so lucky we chose him. Thank you John!

Thank you John for being the coolest, calmest, most collected influence who captured our day so perfectly. Every single frame was magic and the way you document a wedding is nothing short of genius. We love all the candid emotional shots as well as your portraits. We couldn’t be happier.

John photographed our wedding, and we couldn’t have been happier with our experience working with him. From start to finish, John was super responsive, professional and happy to discuss and work with us on any aspect of our wedding planning and photography. We had seen John’s work and loved the way he captured special and candid moments, and we were so happy with the photos he took for us. He photographed our weddings over two days (a Sikh Ceremony and a Garden Ceremony) and he was thoughtful, reliable, blended in easily with the guests, and gave us easy and relaxed direction before and after the ceremonies to make sure our special moments were captured in the way we wanted. He also took photos of many special moments during the preparation and throughout the day, capturing moments and memories with our family and friends. John also provided photos for us afterwards quickly - first as an initial set of highlights we could share with friends and family on social media, and then an album of all our photos, with professional editing, and finally the layout and review of a customised and personal album that we love looking through. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend John to any couple planning their wedding - he was one of our favourite vendors to work with and we were so delighted with our photos.

John photographed our wedding at Waldara Farm in February 2023 and we cannot thank him enough for capturing our special day.John communicated with us throughout the lead up to the day and on the day made us feel so comfortable and seamlessly blended in.The photos are absolutely stunning, and are candid and natural, which is exactly what we hoped for.We also received the highlights and final gallery so quickly. We love looking back at the gallery as the photos really bring back all the memories from the day.Highly recommend John!
