John Roberto
Photographer & co-founder
Before I ever owned a camera, I was editing photos on my phone in Snapseed, trying to make every shot look like a still from a film. I didn't even know that was called photo editing. I just knew it made me happy.
In 2018 my friends basically peer-pressured me into getting a proper camera. They all had Fujis. I'm a tech nerd, so of course I went for the newest thing out, a Sony A6600. That was it. I was hooked.
About a year later, a friend asked me to photograph their wedding. I was so nervous, but they were so open to letting me try things and learn as I went. By the end of the night I was thinking, oh my gosh, I want to do this full time. Imagine spending your weekends with people who just want to have a good time.
Couples tell me I'm warm and easy to talk to, and that I'm always there for them. That's the part I care about most. You'll never look over and wonder what you're paying me for, because I'm always on it. Just never in the way.
And the tech nerd never left. This job is the perfect excuse to keep upgrading my kit.
