"We had been looking for a wedding photographer for some time when we came across the JT Images website. Johnny’s photos struck the right balance between classic and modern; we immediately set up a meeting with him. Our initial impression of Johnny was professional, sincere and passionate about his work. We knew that our photos would be the one everlasting memory of our wedding day and we wanted them to be perfect. From beginning to end, Johnny worked closely with us. We did an urban engagement photo shoot where we got an opportunity to get comfortable with Johnny and his style of shooting. Johnny was always in touch with us leading up to the wedding which made it easy to ask questions and coordinate. On the wedding day, Johnny (and Ryan) really outdid themselves – the wedding party, our guests and family all commented on how comfortable they felt being photographed and how seamlessly Johnny blended into the festivities. For a couple who isn’t often at the end of a camera lens, getting beautiful shots seemed effortless for Johnny (and Ryan). After the wedding, Johnny continued to work closely with us on the layout and content of our wedding album. He also made it easy for us and our guests from out of town to purchase photos through his website. No words can express how happy we are with our wedding photographs; we’ve received numerous compliments from not just friends and family, but from complete strangers who have seen us on JT Images website, blog and facebook page. Johnny exceeded our expectations (which were very high) and we would recommend JT Images with out reservation. We have built a friendship with Johnny and continue to use him as our photographer for professional and personal engagements." - Danielle and Jon


"When looking for a wedding photographer, my wife and I were looking for somebody that we could connect with us on our wedding day. We interviewed 3 - 4 photographers and we were blown away with the connection we had with Johnny. Johnny understood our needs and made our wedding day extra special special by capturing all the moments for us. We were so pleased with our engagement shots, guest sign-in album, wedding album, and same day edit (which was shown at our reception). The best part was that he made it very comfortable for us on our wedding day so that we could enjoy everything else going on around us.  I also strongly recommend the Hootbooth - your guests will love it!" - Shanley and Tam


"When we started planning our wedding, Cole and I knew that our photographer was one of the most important aspects, as we wanted amazing photographs to help us remember all of the special moments from that day. We looked at close to 20 websites, one of which was Johnny's. I couldn't get what I had seen on his website out of my mind and I felt that nothing else compared to it. Once we met with Johnny, we paid our deposit that night which was a full 18 months before our wedding because his excitement and love for what he does made it clear that he would make sure to capture every moment that we would want to remember... not to mention the amazing albums he creates!!  Johnny made the process very easy, comfortable, and a lot of fun. We did an engagement photo session shortly after booking and had a blast skating and getting to know Johnny. After that day I had no doubt in my mind that the photographs would be amazing and they were. We were able to get a quick look at the pictures from the day at the reception in the same day slideshow, and we have heard from our guests that they have never seen something like this before and that it was great to get a chance to see the professional pictures, which many of them would not otherwise have had the chance to see until a long time after the wedding. We felt like it was a beautiful addition to our already wonderful day.  Now that our wedding was 6 months ago, I love looking through the pictures Johnny took, our gorgeous album, and our guest book that was created with our engagement photos. I can't thank Johnny and Ryan enough for everything they created for us!!! I would highly recommend JTImages as the photographers for any wedding. Thanks for everything!!!" - Kathryn and Cole 


"When we first started planning our wedding, we decided the most important vendor, would be the photographer. We wanted someone who would capture every moment we wanted to remember for the rest of our lives. The first time we saw Johnny's work, we knew there was no other option to choose as our wedding photographer. We wanted the utmost talent to be able to grasp the essence of our day, and put it on paper.  Well, he did it! Johnny got every single moment, that brings back such vivid memories of the most important day of our lives thus far. We are so absolutely thrilled with every single photo we recieved, and can't choose a favorite. He got such amazing shots, and was so unintrusive throughout the day. You wouldn't even know he was there, but somehow he got every single angle, of every single important moment. From the candid shots, to the posed ones, every one of them holds a special memory, that we will be able to show our future children, family and friends for years to come. We can't thank Johnny enough, for allowing us to relive our wedding day forever!" - Jennifer and Ben


"From the first photograph I saw of Johnny's I knew that he had to be our wedding photographer. Khang and I just couldn't stop talking about him and showing him off to everyone we knew!  Johnny must have thought we were crazy, we had our photographer and reception booked but no location for the wedding ceremony.  Just a few weeks before the invitations were ready to go out we called Johnny up and said “we’re set." We crossed our fingers that the weather would be good knowing that we really didn’t have a backup plan.  Our day started with him spending the morning with us "GIRLS" getting ready, capturing us running around with those "Big Day" butterflies. We then all proceeded to the park to start the ceremony; the weather was perfect we couldn't have asked for anything better. We were so focused on getting through the ceremony we didn't even notice Johnny working away.  And when it was finally over we couldn’t wait to see what Johnny had in store for us. Where would we go for our pictures… we were both open to anything and our wedding party knew to expect the unexpected. Unfortunately our first stop was blocked by security so Johnny had to come up with plan number 2. Good thing he has a creative imagination because just down the road was warehouse grounds. Who would have thought his is where we would end up?? Semi Trucks?  It wasn't till our reception that we were fortunate to see the amazing photo's that were taken throughout the day. Johnny started by impressing all our guests at our reception with his ability to make an instant slide show re-living the moments of our day bringing many to tears. It was breath taking. But we didn’t make it easy for Johnny, his day wasn't over yet, as the party started Johnny was still hard at work, capturing photo's of all of our guests so we could remember the people who shared our special day with us.  When our photos were posted we were astounded, I must have looked at them 100 times, over and over again. That special day that we had planned, every little detail that we worked so hard for was over but Johnny allowed us relive every moment. To this day when I look through my album I am still amazed everything looks perfect, I couldn't have asked for a better photographer. ??Johnny is one of a kind, unique with a gift of an unbelievable talent, he is exceptional at his work making the most uncomfortable situations an ease. I never could have imagine the way our photo's would turn out, I'm not sure where the ideas come from but when you see the finished product they are out of this world! Thank you for making our photo's as memorable as though it was yesterday. We can't wait for you to capture our next chapter in our lives!" - Jennifer and Khang


"It was extremely important for us to find a photographer who could help us capture and preserve all of our wedding memories. Once we met with Johnny and saw his collection of albums we were immediately convinced that he was the right man for the job. He's not afraid to think outside the box and his use of light is truly a unique gift not akin to every photographer in today's wedding industry. From the engagement session to the pictures taken throughout the ceremony and reception Johnny exceeded our high expectations. We can't thank him enough and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for an extremely talented photographer." - Amber and Aaron


"Do not underestimate the importance of your wedding photos. I probably would have, if it wasn't for my wife knowing better. This is the most important day of your life, so make sure to document it well. You don't want someone just haphazardly snapping shots, you need a pro who can capture the feeling of a moment. This is something Johnny provides.  I remember, sitting in Johnny's living room almost 1 year prior to our wedding. Going through his portfolio and talking about his craft. He came across as a very down to earth guy who was passionate about photography. Helping us to understand his style and what made him different from the rest. This is not just a job for Johnny, he truly loves what he does. I have very happy memories from this initial meeting because after choosing Johnny we realized we had made our very first wedding preparation!  It turned out that our ceremony location had some fairly bad lighting. Johnny knew better than to take color shots in a place like that. So he switched to black and white for the ceremony. It worked out well and the photo's were stunning! He took all of the right shots and captured the moment well. Tears and smiles, so much emotion everywhere something I'll never forget.   Afterwords we went for photos in some random locations in downtown Calgary. Johnny and his assistant were very creative and knew just what to say to get my Wife and I to relax. It was a lot of fun, we had some laughs and just started to let loose a bit. Some incredible shots came at this point.
My Wife and I have only been married for 6 months but we've been through our wedding photos at least 100 times. We had such an amazing time and we feel the photos Johnny took are a way to re-live the experience.
I highly recommend JT images for any wedding" - Leslie and Nick Sims

 

"We cannot thank you enough.  Our pictures were one of the most important decisions for our wedding (next to choosing our spouse!).  A great deal of time and care went into selecting a photographer.  We wanted someone cutting edge, unique with a good use of lighting and angles.  You far surpassed our expectations.  We are so thrilled we chose you as our photographer.  Thank you for your professionalism, flexibility, patience, talent and skill.  We've received very positive feedback from family and friends on how phenomenal you are.  We can't thank you enough!" - Melanie and Rick


"When Mike and I got engaged, right away I knew one of the most important things would be our wedding photos. So I took to the internet and Googled "Calgary wedding photographers." One look at Johnny's site and I was hooked! His photos were full of feeling, artistic, and above all not the same old wedding poses you see everyone else doing.  At first my parents (who were paying) were not so sure. So we took some time to check out other wedding photographers, and after looking at only two others, my mom agreed that Johnny was the man for the job! Which was a good thing because I was about to get all Bridezilla on her!  The night I went to meet Johnny Mike had to work so my Maid of Honor came with me. And oops Johnny double booked himself! So he kindly asked if we would chill up stairs with his wife and son. It was like hanging out with old friends, we had a blast. Johnny and his family were so kind and welcoming.  At the wedding everyone loved working with Johnny, and the photos came out amazing. During the ceremony it was like he was invisible, we couldn't believe the shots he had gotten. He took the time to find the most amazing spots in the Banff Springs, and it was no big deal to make out in front of him! lol Then as he ate, Johnny made a slide show and made everyone at the wedding cry with his amazing photography. And it was so nice because people from out of town would have not seen the photos for a very long time.  Thank you Johnny! We will for sure be calling you up to photograph our family once baby number one comes along!"   - Bekke and Mike


We had a limited amount of time to get all of our wedding arrangements together so when I came across Johnny's website I grabbed my fiance at the time and showed him all of the beautiful photos. We both were in awe. I soon contacted Johnny who had no problem heading up to E-town to see my mother and I. Again, I was struck by his portfolio. I booked him the minute I finished drooling over his photos.  Our engagement session couldn't have been more fun. We were running around in a farmers field and precariously perching ourselves on a truck that maybe shouldn't have been touched let alone sat on. He made all of our experiences fun and we were thrilled with the results.  Then came our big day!! I was so excited and couldn't stop smiling about everything and anything. For the most part I never noticed Johnny I was too busy thinking and laughing about everything else that was coming my way. He took some of the most gorgeous pictures and I didn't even know it. He appeased me by taking pictures of my furry children!  Off we went to the Country Club where we couldn't have asked for a better day. The pictures that came from our ceremony and our one on one time are amazing and I still am shocked to see that we pulled ourselves together to look so good although I think a huge part of that came from Johnny and his ability to capture only the beautiful!  Thank you Johnny for all that you did that day and for understanding a nervous bride and making me feel beautiful. Mike and I will cherish our photos for the rest of our days and I can't wait to start a family so you can come and take pictures of our new family! We were so very lucky to have found you and had you be a part of our day! I couldn't have asked for a better photographer! - Janice and Michael


"I don't think I ever could've imagined such incredible photography for my wedding. the whole experience of being the centre of Johnny's camera was a lot easier then I had initially expected- I really didn't want rigid pictures of my husband and I being camera shy. Not only that, I didn't want pictures that were stale and plain. In short, I didn't want the fire and intensity of who are as people and lovers to be stifled by stiff and expressionless photos.  Of all details, photos were the highest on my priority list. Your dress stays in the closet. The decorations fade away with time- And as the life and truth of the day is painted beyond grasp in the unity of our souls, pieces of these ties speak through the pictures.  Your memory of the day for years to come belongs to these photos.  Johnny is not intimidated by the importance and the power of marriage. He embraces is. Encourages it. Challenges it to come out of your heart and freely express itself.  His personality and obvious skill allowed us to forget him and embrace the beauty of our day. He was a shadow, quietly knitting together our day and creating for us an unforgettable story in pictures.  He honestly caught our true nature in those pictures, and there is nothing about the whole thing I would change.  Johnny is really what you're looking for if you want the kind of photos that will catch your eye and bring you back to the day for the rest of your life." - Ginelle and Chris

"Loved, loved our pictures.  Johnny really captured the moment. He is very talented in what he does and did an amazing job on both our engagement shoot and wedding. He made us feel at ease during the shoots and captured every moment (even the ones we forgot!).  Every time we look at our pictures, we relive that day from start to finish. He made what we envision come to life. He is not afraid to take risks and is really devoted to providing you with what you want. He is very passionate in his work which shines through in all his images. We received so many compliments.  You were great to work with! Thank you for capturing our special day…" - Dara and John ♥


"It was only by luck and coincidence that our path crossed Johnny's. My then fiancee now wife Rebecca was browsing around the internet when she came across Johnny's site. We were both impressed by his style of photography, very modern, contemporary, artistic, and well in a word DIFFERENT. We already had a photographer booked so Rebecca just sent Johnny a quick email, complimenting his work, and mentioning that we wish we would have found him sooner, as we already had someone, and were sure, a month away from the day, that he was booked as well.  To our surprise, Johnny emailed back saying he was still available! We took this as a sign, forfeited our deposit with the previous photographer and booked Johnny.  At first meeting, we clicked right away. Johnny was easy to talk to, had many of the same interests as us, and I knew it was a good fit. To test him out, we booked Johnny for an engagement session. The amount of wicked shots he got in an hour and a half that we booked him for was worth every penny tenfold. I knew then we had made the right decision and at that point we were really looking forward to our wedding.  At our wedding, Johnny worked us hard. Yes he did, but look at our pictures! Simply amazing. Johnny has no boundaries and no inhibitions with his photography and it shows in the work that he produces. He's a constant supply of creativity and skill, not to mention energy. Best of all, we didn't even know Johnny was there for the big moments in our wedding. At the church, reception, etc., I could have sworn we didn't get any pictures. But, when he posted our gallery, I was like "Wow, where was he when he took these". There were tons of photos, candids, details, motion, etc., and I have no idea how he did it so discretely. I think this is very important on your wedding day, as you don't want to feel like you're surrounded by paparazzi for all your big moments.  To draw this to a close, we will always remember August 23, 2008, and largely due to JT. " -  Rebecca and Vedran


"Johnny, From the very beginning you amazed us with your talent, enthusiasm, and most of all your passion as a wedding photographer. There was no doubt in our minds that we have found the best person to do the job.  It meant a lot to us to feel confident in the person capturing our special day. We had a great time with the engagement session and the pictures turned out wonderful despite the weather. During the session we felt comfortable and natural about interacting with each other, while you took our pictures from a far. After our engagement photos, we became less stressed about the wedding day because we knew the photos would turn out great.  You’ve always taken your time choosing that one photo and when you add that special touch, the photo becomes alive. You also have incredible visions for shots that almost always turn out the way you want it. We’re just glad you have everything thought out for us.
Johnny, we are out of words to say about your work on our wedding day. You did everything anyone can imagine to get the best shots. You were there from beginning to end, leaving nothing out. Again, you’ve proved to us your dedication.  You’ve not only showed us beautiful pictures but you have also taught us to appreciate the art of photography. We really enjoyed working with you and we highly recommend you to anyone who’s looking for great photos with an artistic edge. These pictures speak a thousand words, helping us tell our story and making our memories everlasting.  Thank you for being a part of our special day!"  - Julie and Ray



"I spent the past half hour reliving our wedding day through Johnny's photos (so many times now, I've lost count). Not once did I stop smiling.  Everyone says the wedding is over before you know it, which is true, but every time I look at one of Johnny's images from that day, I'm drawn back into those moments which are becoming cherished memories.  I look forward to displaying these pictures on our walls, giving them out in thanks to friends and family, and one day opening the wedding album for our children to share the joy and love that brought Rob and I together.  I'm so grateful Johnny was our photographer and I can't recommend him enough.  My husband says, "One day we will say, 'Johnny Tran was our wedding photographer'", and that will really mean something." - Tiffany and Robert
