My name is Glen Johnson, and I've been shooting weddings full time
for over 10 years. I've made this business my passion, and the
focus of my life for the past 10 years. Some photographers try
to do every sort of photos imaginable, but I learned a long time
ago that you can either do a lot of things poorly, or one thing
really well. It's kind of like, if you need a dentist to fix your
tooth, would you pick one that "specialized" in heart surgery,
and brain surgery, and pediatrics, and ear/nose/throat, and
orthodontics, and finally Dentistry? I don't think so!
Photography is the same way. If you really care, (and you must
if you're reading this) then you should be looking at
photographers who specialize in the business of WEDDINGS!
My style and my goal is to be a storyteller. I shoot what I see,
and I come to each wedding with my mind totally open - no
expectations of what we can or can't do in a wedding photo.
Every wedding is unique, the setting is always different and the
story is completely unique each time. To me, the true art of
wedding photography is in the photographer's ability to capture
that story, and do so with a bit of creativity and flair that
you will be proud to show off. I want to create a story that
your great, great grandchildren will enjoy hearing about long
after you're gone.
I love the fact that weddings allow me to be a witness, and a
recorder, and a friend in this incredible moment of a new
couple's life.
My primary style of shooting during most of the wedding day, is
photojournalistic. I prefer to hang back in the background
quietly documenting everything I see. During the family group
time, I'm not shy. Years of substitute teaching and working as a
rafting guide (prior to becoming a photographer) taught me a lot
about how to wrangle a crowd, so organizing everyone for a
couple group shots will not be a problem. In the evening, or
whenever we can sneak away from the crowd, I love the challenge
of working with you in a creative collaboration to make dramatic
portraits of the Bride and Groom.
Over the past 10 years I've photographed hundreds of weddings in
the US and about 50 destination weddings outside the US, in
locations such as Jamaica, Mexico, the Bahamas, Aruba, Hawaii,
Barbados, Tortola, St. John, St. Thomas, St. Lucia, the
Dominican Republic, Greece, Italy, Fiji, Tahiti, and Hong
Kong.... Whew! And the list keep growing all the time as couples
surprise me with new destinations I've never even heard of.
I can't say enough thanks to the couples I've met and worked
with along the way. So many of you have adopted me into your
family for the day (or days), and your kindness, and the
adventures we've shared together, will never be forgotten. It
has been such an honor to be chosen to record your wedding day.
If you look through a few of my slideshows and find yourself
either smiling or crying, pick up the phone and let's talk.
