Here are some of the things our clients are saying.

"John always went the extra mile and provided us with great memories in the final product! We have received several comments saying "these are the best wedding photos I've ever seen" and we couldn't agree more!"

Georgian Bay, Stockey Center, Parry Sound, 2009

"John, we are over the moon with our pictures. They are fantastic! You completely captured our personalities, emotions, and incorporated them with the natural background and scenery of Red Leaves. You did an amazing job of capturing the special moments, and including all our guest. We have had many compliments of your pictures, as well all our guest commented that they noticed that you were never in the way, but somehow you managed to capture the best pictures. They thought you were 'stealth like' as you were in and out and people didn't have to move around you. John, Fred and I cannot thank you enough for giving us the memories of our wedding and allowing us to share those memories with our guest who were not able to attend, but felt as though they had attended after looking at our photos. Thank you again for making our day as special as it was."

"From the moment we met John, we knew we had nothing to worry about!. His professionalism far exceeded our expectations. John was friendly to work with and made us feel comfortable with his suggestions. He made sure to get all the shots that were important to us of our special day. Many of our guests commented on how talented of a photographer John is before even seeing our pictures. We love every single picture of our wedding, from family photos, shots on the boat, island and the beach, these are memories we will truly cherish. Thank you for your great gift of wonderful pictures that we will enjoy for the rest of our lives!."

"My family (and Josh and I) are thrilled with the photos. We couldn't be happier. My dad especially couldn't believe the pictures you took along Georgian Bay, at the Maughan's. He said they are the best he's seen. We are extremely happy with the results and won't hesitate to recommend Bayshore Photography to family and friends"

"I just wanted to let you know how wonderful our day was and how great our memories are because of you. You were not just a photographer, but became a friend and confidant throughout the planning for and especially on our special day. The moments you captured are simply amazing and all of our guests have been commenting on how amazing and wonderful our photographer was. John, you added a special touch to our day and made Jason and I, and all our guests feel comfortable and very happy. We will definitely be in touch for our first anniversary photos."

Kelli and Jason, S.
Geraldo's , Burlington, Waterdown, 2008

"John - We got the pictures yesterday - they are fantastic! We really love how you played with the heights of land and used the landscape and surroundings -the results are simply beautiful. You really captured all the emotions of the day. What a difference it makes to work with a truly professional individual, and still have a ton of fun at the same time. When you had to be you were basically a ghost - during the ceremony and reception, we barely knew you were there most of the time, yet you managed to capture some great moments. You are definitely the most daring photographer we know! I don't know how many others would climb through thick bush and up rocks to get a great angle. Thank you for keeping everyone smiling all day, but most of all, thanks for the wonderful photographs."

Mary Anne and Jordan

"John, you truly captured every moment. Our happiness shines through in each and every photo. Not only are the pictures beautiful, but the experience was so comfortable and fun - it shows in all our faces. These are the pictures people dream of for their wedding day - a fantastic way to remember our amazing day. We had so much fun with you - thank you for being so professional and patient!"

"John is a true professional. He made our day easier with his expert coaching, lighthearted nature, and efficient shooting skills. The pictures are beautiful and we both believe he captured the emotion of our wedding in such a natural way."

Hal and Jill
Blue Mountain Resort, Collingwood, 2008

"Our experience with John was fantastic from day one. Working with John was completely stress-free, even though we were planning the wedding from a distance. Communication was easy and straight forward, he created a specialized package tailored to our wishes and was very flexible and professional. John made a special effort to get a great shot of virtually everyone at the wedding without being conspicuous, and made everyone feel at ease. We received so many compliments from guests about how nice John was to work with and what a great job he did capturing special moments that were happening away from the "main scene." The pictures were spectacular. John captured the spirit of the day perfectly."

Jane and Andy

"We were just watching some wedding pictures flash up on our computer screen and just wanted you to know that we love them, and are very happy with your work!!! Thank you again for the life long memories of a great day! We have recommended you to all our friends."

Janice and Jamie Wilson

"John, Roy and I thank you from the bottom of our hearts for everything you did for us. The engagement photos captured all the fun and excitement leading up to the wedding. The wedding photos are so perfect. What we love most was the nothing looked posed and that the when we look at the photos, that they tell the story of the day and we relive each moment over again. We laugh and cry as we share stories with friends and family. Thank you so much. You will always be on speed dial for all the special memories we want photographed."

Sarah and Roy
Georgian Bay, Parry Sound, 2007

"Our special day would not have been complete without you John. Not only did you capture the magic moments, you helped to make them. Everyone was amazed that you seemed to be everywhere at once and yet never in the way. Still, not one of the special moments that we wanted to be able to treasure for a lifetime were missed. Our deepest thanks."

Allison and Scott
Parry Sound, 2007

"We would like to send a sincere thank-you for being part of our wedding. When we hired you as our photographer we were impressed from day one. You were always punctual, friendly, professional and sincerely concerned about understanding what we were hoping to get out of wedding day photos. On our wedding day you worked tirelessly to ensure that you captured all the important moments and to find the perfect backdrop for the family and personal photos. Many of our guests commented on your fun and friendly nature which essentially made you part of, and a contributor to, our enjoyable wedding day. We love the results. If we could do it all over, we wouldn't hesitate for a moment to ask you to be part of our wedding day again."

It was a pleasure working with you and these are some of the reasons why: You took the time to find out our needs, you offered creative suggestions, you were flexible and organized, not to mention the pictures were fabulous! I hope that we may have the opportunity to work together in the future and we will gladly recommend you to our friends and colleagues. You obviously enjoy your work and it shows."
