John - thank you so much for sending through the photo gallery of our Wedding Day, the pictures really are amazing.<br>Having looked at a few wedding photographers before making our decision, we did also take into account the fact John is recommended by The Ravenswood, which helped sway our decision. We weren’t disappointed! John made everything so easy and straightforward, something that is vital during the build up to a wedding. The first online meeting that we had with him reinforced to us that we had made the correct decision, as he immediately put us at ease with his humour and professional approach.<br>On the day, he was a pleasure to have around. It never felt like we were under pressure at all, despite the fact that trying to keep track of our family and friends is like herding cats! He also has such a brilliant knowledge of The Ravenswood that he knew exactly where to take us for the best shots. The advanced warning of a change of shoes (or wellies for our day) was also extremely useful!<br>John has a great working relationship with the other suppliers, which makes the day even more stress free.<br>John is a complete professional, keeping us both calm and relaxed throughout the day and we both had such a laugh with him too. We really could not recommend him highly enough, and the photos he took of our day will provide us with so many amazing memories.<br>Thanks John x<br>Lynne & Gareth

We can't recommend John enough. We got married last week and had John as our photographer assisted by the lovely Farrah. The photos we've already got from John look amazing and we can't wait to see the rest of them. I'm not very photogenic and he put me at complete ease and knew every spot at the venue to get the perfect shot. We also chose the drone package and can't wait to see the shots he got from it after seeing the sneak peak from our day with the Southdown Strings. Thanks so much John!

John, you were amazing – Thank you so much!!! I am super awkward when it comes to photos however, you made it easy. When we saw the sneak peak images we were over the moon, in the words of a relative “I would have said this was out of a bridal magazine”. Your organisation was brilliant, you made us and our guests (we had a number of lovely comments) feel at ease and took us to fantastic spots within the grounds but, most of all we want to thank you for guiding and prompting us with what to do – we didnt have to worry about anything. We are so excited to see the full album. Thank you again!!

We agonised for AGES over choosing a photgrapher for our wedding, and me being me, I didn't want to choose John because he was the venue's 'recommended' supplier and I don't like to be told what to do 🙂 Well, I'm SO glad to say that would have been a mistake - he is AMAZING! Aside from the gorgeous photography, I never would have imagined just how much of a difference it could make to your day to have John around, but it really did - he gets on with everyone, put me at ease several times, was there to prompt us when we forgot what to do, reassured us, sorted things out for us that were really beyond what he'd have expected to do and just generally was good fun and easy company to be around. THANK YOU John from all of us, you're a gem 🙂 And the photos wern't bad either 😉 will cherish them well into our wrinkly days xxx

What can I say?? John is an absolute pleasure to work with! He is the epitome of professionalism and expertise. Right from the start, he exceeded our expectations. He was very organised, he kept us on the loop all the time about what's gonna happen next. He was ever so helpful with the little hiccups and details like when I said we had to skip the confetti shots as our confetti did not arrive on time, and yet he was able to find a way to make it happen. We cannot thank you enough for that. We had an amazing confetti shot!

Anyway, moving on his keen eye for detail created our stellar wedding photos! The only challenge now is choosing the best photos out of the best! 😊

He made it easy for us to relax and just go with the flow. It just felt effortless on our part. To be honest, we didn't have any idea or vision of how the photos would come out. We just knew we chose him amongst the several others and we trusted his skills and abilities, and voila! the photos came out stunning! It seemed like magic!

We were glad to have had you John as part of our special day and for capturing the magical moments we will forever treasure. Thank you.

We honestly cannot recommend John enough, he is incredible at what he does.
It was a big decision for my husband and I choosing a photographer for our wedding as we both usually hate being infront of the camera so it was so important for us that we had somebody that could make us feel at ease and comfortable and be able to enjoy being photographed; we can 100% say we made the best decision choosing John!
He exceeded all of our expectations and made us feel so calm and relaxed, our guests also spoke so highly of him and said how lovely he was!
I was worried that having someone photographing us the entire day may possibly feel a bit intruding but honestly you wouldn't have even known he was there most of the time, in a good way! He was so reassuring checking we were both ok throughout the day and when he took us to have our couple photos taken he made us feel so relaxed and at ease and we honestly can't thank him enough, we wish we could do it all over again!
The evening of our wedding John had already uploaded 11 photos as a preview and we love them all, we cannot wait to see the rest of them!
We won't hesitate to recommend John to anybody looking for a photographer, he really is brilliant.

The most difficult thing about this review is how to not sound the same as all other reviews which have given deserved praise for John Scofield. Sorry for leaving the review a bit late, we just came back from a two week honeymoon in Mexico, and now that things have settled a bit and we have no more money, I thought it would be best to leave a raving review!<br><br>Firstly, I can say that this guy is the John Wick of photography. All black and armed with cameras, drones, humour and works non-stop to produce the best shots. All John needs is a soundtrack to match!<br><br>My wife Hannah, and I are truly honoured and incredibly grateful for John's role in our wedding. From the beginning of the day until just after the first dance, the day went incredibly quickly. He was incredibly organised and made everyone feel at ease. He spoke to all parties with politeness and professionalism and made us feel really supportive. Also, his passion for photography really shines, and is always open to ideas regarding specific shots. Even when in doubt, John offered suggestions for optimal shots, and stuck to schedule to ensure everything was running smoothly.<br><br>The drone provided much entertainment value when it came to taking photos and I cannot wait to see the photos once they are edited and ready for our friends and family to share. The anticipation is quite something. It truly was a day to remember and John played a vital role.<br><br>John knew the Ravenswood venue like it was his own home and knew every single spot to take the best pictures, in any weather situation. Both me and Hannah had a laugh while having our photos done and made use of both the cameras and drone. Just from the instagram photos, our friends and family were gobsmacked.<br><br>So in summary, thank you for making our wedding day truly special. We are incredibly blessed to have a photographer such as John taking our photos and without hesitation recommend his services to everyone. Just don't harm his cameras (wife) or drone (dog).

John was incredible! In behalf of Dean and myself we are so glad we had you for our day.

From start to finish you made us feel at ease. You guided us and went above and beyond for all of our wedding party, guests and us. There was so much going on yet you remained calm and composed the entire duration of our day.

We really can't express enough how lucky we feel to have had such an amazing photographer capture the biggest day of our lives. I know there were a few occasions where things didn't run to time or chaos going on around us but you never let us feel like anything was too much.

Our photos came back really quickly so we could revel in the moment all over again. Genuinely this wouldn't have been the success it was without you. You are a real gem in your industry and we can't recommend you enough. We will be telling everyone we know about you.

Thank you for making our wedding day so beautifu and capturing the purest moments of it all for us.

All our love
Dee & Dean

I followed John on Instagram and admired his work before I was even engaged. When we got engaged and looked at suppliers.. I knew we had to have John as our wedding photographer. We had a call to discuss pricing etc and John was so friendly and helpful… got off the phone and we booked him straight away. John is quick to respond to emails/messages.

John is extremely professional and was great at organising our shoots on the day. I was put at ease in the getting ready room, I didn’t even have to think about what was going to be happening as John has his whole day planned out and we don’t have to think about times etc.
It was a pleasure having John be our photographer at our wedding, our guests commented on how lovely he is! His work is incredible and he is such a wonderful person to be around, he makes having photos taken a fun and enjoyable experience.
It rained on our wedding day but John put us at ease ensuring us we’d get amazing photos… and we really did. He went above and beyond for us to ensure we got shoots in places we wanted even with the weather not being on our side.
After working such a long day John went home and edited 5 photos that evening so we could see some without having to wait.
They were incredible and I couldn’t wait to see the rest.
We didn’t have to wait long for our photos to be ready… and they did not disappoint. I cried when we looked through them, they are perfect. They capture the day and they bring back the magical feelings we felt on the day. Everyone has commented on how amazing they are!
Anyone who’s recently got engaged look no further than John Scofield because he will deliver the photos of your dreams… along with being a lovely attendee at your wedding.

Keep being awesome John, thank you for making our day so very perfect. XxxX

We recently had John photograph our wedding at The Ravenswood. He is absolutely incredible and our photos are just insane!! John took the time to do a video consultation before the wedding to understand our vision better and helped to answer any questions we had. On the wedding day he took the lead in helping to organise our guests to get the best photos possible. John is like a ninja as half the time you don’t even notice he is there which helps to make everyone feel more comfortable especially if you’re not keen on having your photo taken! All of our guests noted how friendly and professional John was and we would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for a wedding photographer, he is honestly the best!!

We highly recommend John.
We researched so many photographers and we are so pleased we chose John.

We had a video call prior to our big day and John gathered various information from us to ensure our day ran smoothly.

John is not only professional but also very down to earth. He puts everyone at ease, even the people that don’t particularly like their photos taken. He captures so many natural photos and knows how to get people to pose naturally.

John had a great knowledge of The Ravenswood where we got married, so he knows the best places for those wonderful photo shots.

Our wedding day ran smoothly thanks to John keeping us to our timings and adjusting things when needed. Nothing was too much trouble and he engages with all the guests.

When our photos arrived we found it very hard to choose which pictures to place in the album as so many to choose from.

Everyone has commented how amazing the photos are and we couldn’t agree more.

Thank you once again John for capturing lots of memories that we will treasure forever.

So if you are looking for a photographer John is your man.

Emma and David

My daughter and son in laws wedding photos have just come through band they are incredible. John has captured amazing pics I cannot tell you how excellent they are. My daughter cried when she looked at them as they are perfect. It was a rainy day so I wasn’t expecting them to be as fantastic as they are, I can honestly say now I’m glad it was raining because one of my fav pics is the two of them under an umbrella with the rain coming down. Highly recommend John I don’t think anyone else could come close to being half as good. Worth every penny!

Can't recommend John enough. He was very organised & coordinated and definitely knows his way around a Wedding, helping with arranging things while capturing lots of lovely photos for us to treasure. We heard lots of good things about John from our other suppliers before booking him and can say that he certainly lived up to expectations. We also had lots of positive comments from our guests saying how good John was at arranging the group shots. All of our pictures look very natural and turned out just how we wanted them to.
Lots of thanks to John for capturing our day and giving us the pictures we can enjoy forever. - Mr & Mrs Lyleman

As an older couple getting married for the second time, getting a good photographer was top of our list and John did not disappoint, he was incredible.
We got engaged during covid and also decided to get married in a county about 2 hours or so from home. Once we decided this our next task was to try and find good and reliable suppliers local to our venue and we didn’t realise just what a task that would be .
I joined lots of wedding planning facebook sites and trawled through lots of websites and what felt like hundreds of photographs and reviews but was still undecided . Then I came across some of John’s photos and was instantly taken with how stunning they were . I searched for his facebook page and then started following him on facebook and Instagram to see more of his amazing work and showed it to my fiancé. He was so impressed with John’s work that he decided John was the only photographer he wanted and our search was over. We then contacted John to see if he had our date available and luckily for us he did so we set up a zoom call . The zoom call was amazing with John being so friendly and we then arranged to meet John in person at the first post covid wedding fair that he was attending. As soon as we met John he made us feel so relaxed about the whole thing and we booked him.
On the wedding day John made us feel so comfortable and there was so much laughter which he captured in so
many ways . It was like having your own personal wedding co-ordinator and photographer rolled into one. John organised the guests and got them where we wanted them to be in his calm relaxed and friendly manor . Many of our guests commented on what a lovely person he was.
His photos were absolutely amazing and he captured so many moments in his photos that we would never have seen if he’d not been there .
If you are thinking about booking John for your wedding I wouldn’t hesitate I’d just go ahead and do it. You will have the most amazing, talented and friendly photographer who will leave you with stunning memories of an amazing day. We cannot recommend John and his incredible talent enough and will be forever grateful for the memories he has given us of our amazing day.

Ellie and Neil

What can we say that praises John and his amazing photography highly enough, an all round super chap who mingles seamlessly and feels like family by the end of the day. Nothing is too much trouble, he is organised, relaxed and meticulous and his photos are second to none. Don’t hesitate, book him! Thank you so much John, Ian and Tracey x

John is an amazing photographer! As a wedding supplier I have seen first hand of his exceptional photography talent! I have been lucky enough to work with him on photoshoots and the photos are always stunning and creative. John is also the loveliest guy and really cares about getting the "right shot".. he is an utter credit to his industry; and the photos speak for themselves. In fact, I have worked for couples that have changed their wedding date to secure him for their wedding photography! (and once you see his photos.. you will see why!). Highly recommended.

Where do I start with John. What an incredibly talented photographer!! Myself and my husband can not thank John enough for the amazing photographs from our Christmas wedding a couple of weeks ago. Having got engaged in the midst of Covid and then booking a venue out of our home county, one of our biggest challenges was choosing our suppliers. Covid meant no wedding shows and no face to face meetings. With that being said John was our venues recommend photographer and he definitely did not disappoint. I instantly started following him on Instagram and everytime I saw a post from a Wedding at the Ravenswood I just knew I needed to book him. With over a year and a half until the wedding and having never even spoke to John we just went on his website and booked. The process was seamless by the way. John then reached out and explained what happens next and never once did I have any concerns, I just knew this was the right choice. I continued to follow his Instagram and I advise any Brides to be to do so because you will honestly get butterflies everytime you see your venue photographed (it's great for photo inspo too). In the lead up to the wedding we have a zoom call with John to discuss all the special and important specifics of the day, we had quite a few but again felt at Ease, John even took on board my planned 4 shoe changes!! We had a timeline to work towards on the day it made everything fall into place. On the morning of the wedding John did his thing, and he did it brilliantly. As a bride, this is usually the most stressful time of day, and I barely noticed John was there, but I had every faith that he was capturing all the special moments and to be honest when we received our photos I was in awe of how many moments he did capture. The funny thing with weddings is the Bride has no idea what her Groom is up to and visa versa, so going through the photos not only helps you to re live the day but also makes you feel like you were there for all of the moments, this was one of my favourite things. For us, one of the most important things was how well John knew our venue, living further afield we had only been there a couple of times so when we went off for our couple photos it felt like we got to see and explore our venue for the first time and it was magical and it was all thanks to John knowing all the hidden and beautiful spots to take the most perfect photos. From start to finish John had us laughing, and he even helped me to carry the long train of my dress, a real pro who went above and beyond. Then to top if off, we received our photos much earlier than expected and just in time for Christmas. The best Christmas present we could have asked for. Thank you so much John for everything.
