Your wedding day is a beautiful celebration of your love, and the beginning of a new life for both of you. As your photographer, my mission is to reliably and unobtrusively capture in photographs all the spontaneous joy, beauty, and emotion that you, your families, and your friends will share on this day. To do this, I use the latest digital technology which has many advantages over traditional film.

Comments and Highlights

Ryan Birchard Photography - my son Ryan is following in my footsteps and developing his own photo business. We are available both together and seperately. > Click here for more information

2007 was our busiest year yet! We photographed over 50 weddings in Northern California, and as far away as Durango, Colorado.

Starting this year, I've upgraded my website to include a client access page where you can view your wedding photos online. Most weddings are now available for viewing online within three days. You can also order prints by shopping cart directly from your web gallery. Be sure to let family and friends know about your online gallery, so they can order their own prints.

Here's what a few of my clients had to say about my work:

John was comfortable and nice to work with. He promptly delivered our photographs 2 weeks following our wedding, as promised. The photos truly captured our magical day.

John's photos captured the joy of our wedding. We had a very intimate ceremony and he was able to document it beautifully without causing us any distraction. I would confidently and sincerely recommend John for any type of photography assignment. We treasure our photos!
      — Laura and John

We highly recommend John Birchard! He did an amazing job with our wedding pictures and also was the photographer 3 weeks later for my sister's wedding and her pictures are wonderful too! He is extremely professional and most of the time you don't even realize he is right there taking pictures the entire time. He has had a quick response to every question or concern I have had. Thank you John for making our wedding day even more wonderful!

"We wanted to let you know how incredibly happy we are with the pictures you took on our wedding day! They are absolutely gorgeous, we are going to have a difficult time deciding which to put in our album! My Mom dropped off the proof books, thanks for putting those together. We really loved the way the pictures captured the feeling, and emotion of the day. Thank you so very much for everything. Our day couldn't have been any better, and we really appreciate all your time and effort!
Thanks again."

      —Anne & Brian "The Linde's"

"My new husband and I were very happy with John Birchard's photography services. He was able to capture intimate photos of each part of our ceremony with being at all invasive. He was very patient as we coordinated with a large family to get the family shots that we wanted. He grasped onto our excitement when a loose pony galloped into the area were we were taking the post ceremony photos (a real country wedding!) and got shots of the pony and a wedding guest with a rope getting ready to catch the pony. He came up with ideas for romantic shots of the two of us -- some on a rustic wooden bench in a garden and others on the top of a tree stump with dramatic sunset lit clouds in the background. He was also a very comfortable presence as the bride and her attendants were getting ready and spending some intimate time in a water tower right before the ceremony.
Best wishes, John."

      —Rebecca and Jeremiah Kagin

"John Birchard is the only photographer we look to when we are planning weddings for our guests here at the MacCallum House. We also use John to do all of the photography for our two businesses. John is a consummate professional with the ability to vividly capture your most important memories. Without any reservation, I would recommend his services."
      —Jed Ayres — Owner, MacCallum House Inn and Restaurant and Mendo Wine Tours

"Hi John, I just want you to know what a pleasure it is to work with you. I have found you to be an exceptional photographer at the weddings we have done together. The clients are always pleased with the way you work during their event. You have a delightfully non-invasive approach and the pictures you produce are a real compliment to the wedding business. Thank you for the photos you have given me to use on my web site, they are terrific! I always look forward to working with you."
      —Deborah Kanani, Mendocino Weddings

"Wow, John, we LOVE your work!!"
      —Mark and Lisa Bruce

"John has a great eye. His relaxed and very like-able attitude suited our needs. We would recommend him to anyone."
      —Arne and Jennifer
