Weddings, Engagements and Events

I’m currently available for a limited number of wedding dates.

With more than four decades of experience photographing weddings, corporate gatherings, and personal milestones, I specialize in creating timeless, heartfelt, and stylish imagery that reflects the essence of your day.

Each commission is individually priced. With limited availability, I invite you to reach out to discuss your day at 828.200.7969 or john@johnmaclean.com.

My Workflow

Every wedding is unique, and I begin by tailoring a personalized plan that emphasizes quality over quantity. Each commission includes a set number of final images, allowing me to devote the proper care and artistry to every photograph I deliver.

Once the details are confirmed, a 50% retainer secures your date. The balance of the payment is due before or at the start of the photography day. About a week prior, we’ll connect to review any final details.

Within 5–7 days (often sooner), I’ll provide a private, watermarked web gallery with a curated selection of minimally processed images. From there, you’ll choose your predetermined number of final images—plus a few extras I often include. These selected images will then be fully processed and delivered in multiple formats, including versions optimized for social media.

I also offer museum-quality custom prints ranging from 12x18” to 40x60”, produced in-house with a professional Epson 44” large-format printer—ensuring exceptional quality that surpasses standard online labs, complete with my personal seal of approval.

For your peace of mind, I am fully insured with comprehensive commercial photography liability coverage.

Please note: retainers are 50% refundable (less applicable card fees) if cancelled 30 days or more before your wedding. Cancellations within 30 days are non-refundable.
