Reviews for John & Max Mills Photography
GUEST




John and Max Mills Photography were absolutely wonderful! From day one through the following 8 months to our wedding they were extremely helpful and professional and answered any questions or concerns we had. Everything went so smooth and perfect. We only wish it could have lasted longer. The only problem we had was actually trying to decide on the vast majority and numbers of pictures to decide upon!!! I would highly recommend them to anyone.




My husband and I picked John & Max Mills after they were highly recommended to us by PVGC (Palos Verdes Golf Club), where our reception was held. They were and are fantastic! Both John and Max were amazing photographers and not only professional but also very personable. As a husband and wife team, they photographed our engagement photos, wedding and reception photos, and the day after our wedding photos (aka: trash the dress). What I found amazing about them is that they were able to capture the special moments of our day without being in the way of our day. I've been to weddings where the photographer is a mere inches away from the couple the entire time which really intrudes on the feel of the wedding. John and Max were discreet (so much so that we sometimes forgot that we were even being photographed!) yet able to get some amazing pictures. Both my husband and I are living out of the country and had to plan the wedding abroad and they were so flexible about working with us, despite an 8 hour time difference. Through e-mails and carefully timed phone calls, John and Max were able to work around our schedule of when we would be in town and to coordinate the day. They listened to our requests and were open to our ideas (including a perfectly timed sunset stop between the ceremony and reception which resulted in gorgeous photos). They were also very patient and clear about picking our photos, albums, etc. and very honest about pricing (which was very reasonable and worth every penny!). John and Max are simply perfection at what they do yet are so humble that you want to invite them over for dinner just because they are so sweet. Your search for a photographer is over...choose John and Max and you will NOT be disappointed!!

Max and John are one of the most polite, warm, calm, fun, and loving people I ever met.
In the midst of wedding chaos, they stayed calm and gave us clear instructions of what to do (how to stand, where to look) and made us laugh (really) so that our smiles are not fake LOL.
Throughout the wedding, they took many pictures that are overflowing with love, they are so good that you can almost hear us laughing.
Now we have all of our special moments in beautiful pictures that we will cherish for the rest of our lives.
Thank you Max and John!
GUEST




Really can't say enough about Max and John. They work as a team flawlessly! We had our daughter's wedding in Palos Verdes Estates, and her reception at the Crowne Plaza in Redondo Beach. Max and John were there to catch every moment of our event! They were professional, courteous, quick, creative, prompt, and efficient. We can't say enough about them, except to add, in addition they were a pleasure to work with! What more can you ask than that?
GUEST




Through this wedding process, Max and John were more than our photographers but they became our friends. They are so great at ensuring that they put their client's feelings and wants above anything else. They continually work WITH you and make sure that your dream comes true in the photos that they take. We are so excited to recieve the professional photos back. I know they will loook amazing because I trust this team so much! Thank you for ensuring that we didn't just get photos, but we got an awesome experience and wonderful friends. THank you!
GUEST




We thoroughly enjoyed our experience with John and Max Mills. They were wonderful. They understood exactly what we wanted from start to finish and the final product was beautiful. We would absolutely recommend Mills Photography to anyone for their wedding.
GUEST




John & Max Mills are fantasic! Finding just the right photographer to capture our wedding day was extremely important to us. Our wedding was at Wayfarers Chapel and our reception was at the Palos Verdes Country Club. John & Max were extremely familiar with both locations, they were professional, organized, creative, artistic, time efficient and very personable. Mills Photography website allowed us to be very interactive with designing our wedding photo album. Our wedding album blew us away! It is more amazing than we ever could have imagined. John & Max captured every wonderful moment of our wedding day and we will cherish our album and memories forever.
GUEST




I had the pleasure of working with Max and John Mills recently for my son and daughter-in-law's wedding. Max and John were both a delight to work with and though highly recommended, far exceeded my expectations.
They put everyone at ease during the formal pictures, got all the pictures I had requested plus ones that I didn't think to ask for but were so happy to have. They captured the mood, and beauty of the ceremony and the exuberant feeling of the reception while remaining unobtrusive.
Of utmost importance was the fact that we are left with the most stunning, creative albums which are a testament to their professional expertise.
GUEST




Worth every penny--John and Max are both phenomenal photographers and very service oriented. Our album is absolutely stunning. Our wedding was at La Venta and we chose them because they had photographed numerous weddings there throughout the years. We were able to look at literally hundreds of wedding pictures taken at La Venta months prior to our wedding and tell them, we like this picture, we don't like that one, we definitely want something like this, we definitely don't want that, etc. And it paid off--we just got our wedding album and I can't stop looking at it!! It's amazing, creative, beautiful, and unique. They captured every moment perfectly. And they weren't in the way, either. I would recommend them without hesitation.
GUEST




It was wonderful working with Maxine and John Mills photography for our wedding photos. We were initially overwhelmed by all the different options at first but Maxine thoroughly walked us through the process. That really helped us come up with the perfect vision for the perfect wedding album, that we will treasure forever. On our big day, we were happy having a couple that we felt so comfortable around for the whole day. It was easy for us to be ourselves because we couldn't help but be at ease with John and Max around. The quick, responsiveness, delivery and quality of our pictures were more than I could have ever expected. We would highly recommend John & Max Mills Photography to anyone!

John and Max were so easy to work with! As a busy working bride, I didn't always have the time to keep detailed records of all of the conversations that I had with the many vendors. No need with the Mills...they had everything organized for me. Max was so responsive to any emails or questions that I had.
On the day of the wedding they were early, helpful and so kind to our wedding party. They were so unobtrusive during the ceremony, they left us all wondering if they had even taken any shots in the church! Not to fear - once we received the proofs it was evident that their wonderful work had captured all of the most important moments of our day.
Too often, vendors stop responding to you once they have your money in hand. Not the Mills! As we are reviewing our proofs for our album, they have been helpful and timely. Their business is supported by word of mouth endorsements, so they take customer satisfaction seriously. Their hassle-free approach to their work makes working with them a pleasure.
GUEST




Though it may sound cliché, our wedding was truly a magical experience. From the initial planning to the final execution, everything flowed seamlessly. We seemed to be at the right place at the perfect time to make the ideal connection. Consequently, all of the vendors, for our September 27th wedding, were deemed the best in their field. While it’s good to hear the accolades, I was anxious to see the action. As they say, “talk is cheap.” Needless to say, John & Max Mills Photography EXCEEDED our expectations.
Like all engaged couples, we began researching and interviewing the vendors for our event. While we used the internet to supplement our search, our main guide was La Venta’s vendor list. Our coordinator checked off the top recommendations from their list. They suggested 3 photographers. Max and Mills were our second appointment, and after our meeting, we realized that we did not need to see the third photographer.
From the start, there was a wonderful connection. They are such warm and caring people, who expressed a sincere interest in the effortless success of our wedding day. Moreover, they put us at ease encouraging us to savor the experience. They worked within our budget and provided us with a spectacular package. Of particular benefit was the “Get to know you” session.
For John and Max Mills, the details are a critical element in creating the beautiful tapestry of a greater moment. This is why the “Get to know you” session is so important. We spent a couple of hours getting comfortable in front of the camera, as well as with each other. This was crucial because my wife had trouble relaxing in front of the camera. They offered suggestions and invited us to play off this starting point. They are equally adept at staging photographic moments and capturing poignant candid shots.
In the weeks leading up to the wedding they would call to remind us about pending appointments or other items critical to the success of our day. They arrived early and put our entire wedding party (which was enormous) at ease. While they took hundreds of photographs their presence was unobtrusive and hardly noticeable. They did such a great job that my wife looked flawless in the photos. She shined in every picture they took, which is a testament to their skill as photographers as well as creating a relaxing environment.
When we finally showed our friends and families proofs of our wedding they were so dazzled that many thought that the images had been retouched. When we assured them that these were authentic they were astonished. My wife is so impressed and excited that we are looking forward to having them capture the next major event in our lives. We can offer no higher praise than to say that John and Max Mills are our photographers for life.

John and Max did the photography for our wedding at Verandas in Manhattan Beach this past Sept. They were a pleasure to work with and made our wedding day even more special.
They have a very personal approach to their work that is truly genuine and sincere. They listened to our needs and were extremely nice and easy to work with. Our pictures turned out absolutely gorgeous!
We had a lot of fun taking the wedding and engagement photos.
We did our engagement session at LACMA, and had the best time taking pictures by the light post sculptures. The pictures turned our very contemporary and fun. Just our style!
We are very happy with the beautiful wedding pictures, are so exited to see our album in the next few months.
We strongly recommend Mills Photography!
GUEST




John and Max Mills photographed our wedding at La Venta Inn this past summer and it was a wonderful, stress-free, and high-quality experience. We strongly recommend them!!!
After an initial consultation, we opted to do a �get to know you� session a few weeks before the wedding; just some casual pictures at some of our favorite L.A. haunts that we could share with friends and display at the wedding itself. (John and Max can create wedding-day displays for you, or they can release the photos to you in time for you to create your own displays at the wedding.) This was a very relaxing afternoon without any set formulae�whenever an opportune moment arose, they snapped a picture, all the while casually strolling along with us and, as the session�s title suggests, getting to know us a little. John and Max are a couple with excellent chemistry and great senses of humor, and they work so well together�this session captured some beautiful photos and, perhaps more importantly, it made us feel as if we were in good hands for the big day! Shortly after the GTKY session, a cd arrived in the mail with all of our pictures, to do with as we pleased. (Never in this process did we feel pressure from the photographers to buy the fanciest package or spend more more more�John and Max do incredible finishing work and they offered us plenty of beautiful packaging and framing options, but they also appreciated our budgeting, and were very considerate and classy about catering to our modest needs.)
The wedding-day was handled with professionalism and unobtrusiveness. On a day when there�s so much to remember, so many small details to sweat and so many deliveries to time, it was a tremendous relief to see John and Max arriving exactly when they had promised. Before lots of guests arrived, they took some gorgeous venue/flower/table pictures, captured some candids of us getting ready, and, generally, warmed up without being in anyone�s way. Then, right on schedule, they commenced with the very long list of family photos we�d concocted, managing to get them all finished before the ceremony was set to begin. Once the event was in process, they somehow managed to capture every key moment without us even sensing their presences, and, for those special pictures we�d asked them to coordinate (such as a whole-group photo with flower-tossing), they got the job done respectfully and quickly. As the night wore on, they had us do some terrific bride-and-groom photos around the venue (showcasing their familiarity with the site and its staff�an invaluable asset!) including some breathtaking sunset pictures. Needless to say, when the cd of wedding photos arrived in the mail, we were extremely pleased!
All in all, the experience with John and Max was entirely positive and we hope others will benefit from our recommendation.

Max and John, worked with us for a long time, to plan out what we needed/wanted, they are true photographers and great at what they do.
GUEST




Being a teacher I had the summer off to do my research and prepare for our wedding. I interviewed a variety of photographers and did MY homework on various vendors. Their photographs are what first caught my eye; remarkable shots with beautiful back grounds. I saw their website and was impressed, but it wasn�t until someone recommended them that I decided to call. I met with John and Max and was instantly at ease by their personality, very easy to talk to and understanding of our needs.
We have been so pleased with John & Max throughout the process. They were very familiar with the property, which made the photos an easy and quick transition between the wedding and reception allowing us more time with our guests. Most importantly, our photos came out fantastic! Their creativity shows in our photographs and is truly an art. They have an eye for capturing the perfect photo at the right time.
GUEST




max and john are very serious about their craft and they are true artists. We got a great price, and they spent hours with us making sure we were completely satisfied with the photos. They gave us a variety of perspectives, and their editing tools are magic. Mostly, aside from the great compositions and amazing photos, I was really thankful for the amount of time and care they put into our wedding. I got so many compliments from my friends and family and am so happy with my choice. Thanks guys for your patience: max, you are so kind and sweet; and john you are soooo talented !!!!!
GUEST




The wedding and reception were at La Venta Inn in Palos Verdes Estates. Our photographers were John & Max Mills of Mills Photography. It is my pleasure to tell you that our experience with them was so outstanding that the entire evening I marveled at their ability to photograph every meaningful moment. Their special talent was to have the guests feel at ease and they became a welcome addition to the festivities.
We just received our pictures and marvel at the beauty and style of each masterpiece that was created by this very talented team. In addition to capturing beautiful candids, their creativity is particularly obvious in a number of staged photos that are not only fun to look at but especially memorable as they were accomplished so smoothly and expertly by these two extraordinary people.
We are grateful that we chose John and Max Mills/Mills Photography to photograph our wedding. We are thrilled with the results and I would heartily recommend Mills Photography as they have shown how much they are dedicated to capturing a joyous and tender showcase of this most memorable time in our lives.
GUEST




John and Max were a delight to work with. My husband and I are very pleased with how our pictures turned out. We could not be happier! We received multiple compliments from our family and friends as to how pleasant it was to work with our photographers. John and Max guided our group pictures with ease. We will definitely refer The Mill's to our family and friends. We will look to John and Max for all of our photgraphy needs in future!!
GUEST




JOHN & MAX, WHAT A PAIR. SHOULD CHANGE THEIR NAME TO TEAM MILLS. THE BEST VALUE WE FOUND NOT ONLY IN PHOTOGRAPHY, BUT AS PEOPLE WHO OPENED THE DOOR TO THEIR HOME TO TWO LOVE BIRDS LOOKING FOR A GOOD PICTURE TAKER. JOHN GAVE US LOTS OF IDEAS WHILE MAX KEPT HIM IN LINE. LOL!! J/K MAX DID A WONDERFUL JOB WITH THE ALBUM. THEY ARE THE BEST.
GUEST




John and Max Mills are a great choice to do photography for any event. They are so easy to work with, very professional, and very good at what they do. They work very well as a team, and they are very organized. I highly recommend them to anyone that needs a skilled and excellent photography team!
GUEST




At our wedding venue, we noticed several photographs by John and Max Mills and they were beautiful. We met the Mills and they were very friendly and professional. It was great to actually meet the photographers for our wedding versus having a company select one for us. The Mills were so flexible and accommodating with our package. During our engagement photo session at the beach, they spent a substantial amount of time with us and the pictures turned out beautiful. Our guests raved about our the sign-in book. At the wedding, we hardly noticed the Mills but they were able to capture all the great moments. They knew our family member's names and were so polite to our guests. Our wedding pictures were wonderful. We had a difficult time narrowing our selections for our album because there were so many great pictures. Thanks John and Max!
GUEST




What can I say???? The pictures were fabulous! My husband and I were married at St. Margaret Mary Parish and held our reception at the Cheesecake Factory for almost 5 years now. We look at our album every year and every time we look at it, it felt like we are there and getting married again. John and Max Mills creativity and expertise made our special day more memorable. We LOVE the pictures and album and they are just wonderful! They really capture the spirit of the day.
GUEST




John and Max were fantastic!! From the moment we met them, they were so honest and kind. They did everything they could to make our wedding day perfect. Our photos are amazing and they are very easy to work with. On our wedding day, they did not overwhelm us at all with the cameras and being too close. We can not say enough about how professional they are and how great our proofs and photo book turned out!
GUEST




It has been two years since our daughter's wedding at Palos Verdes Country Club in July of 2007. Every time I look at the stunningly beautiful wedding album by John and Max Mills, I still get chills! I am so glad they were the photographers! Every wedding has a very special moment that hopefully is captured by the photographers! We had many of those moments and John and Max captured all of them . . . the solemn, the whimsy, the breathtaking, the funny - everything! They were professional and yet down to earth . They went above and beyond and it shows in the the photographs! I would highly recommend them!!
GUEST




What a treat it is to work with John and Max! I would highly recommend having them take black and white engagement photos and create their signature book. We used this for our guest book, and it's one of our favorite wedding momentos.
John and Max are wonderful to work with...extremely professional, yet funny and caring. They will treat your wedding day with as their number one priority, and put you at ease so you don't have to think the photo details, but rather just enjoy the day. We were so happy with our photos, it took forever to select our favorites for our wedding album. Max is truly talented with designing wedding albums, and i know we'll enjoy ours for our lifetimes!
GUEST




John and Max Mills did an amazing job photographing our wedding. From the first meeting we knew they were the people for the job and they exceeded our expectations. They got to know everyone during the pre-wedding shoot, which helped keep us all relaxed and happy.
John and Max worked so well together and were fantastic about handling special requests and accommodating us. We also appreciate all the personal touches they provided throughout the day. They were professional and polite, not to mention fun! Our friends and family have commented on how wonderful our album is and we agree. It's a beautiful portrait of our wedding day.
We couldn't be happier with our choice of Mill's Photography for our special day!
GUEST




John and Max came highly recommended and after our initial consultation I knew that we had found the right wedding photographers. I knew that our wedding location was tricky, but they took care of everything with ease - including the unexpected rain (which lasted ALL day long!!!). Putting together our album and choosing "the one" for large framing was difficult because there were so many GREAT photos to choose from. Highly recommended :)
GUEST




Our wedding day was the most memorable time of our lives. John & Max were able to capture that in all of our photos. They were non-intrusive and blended very well with our wedding party. We would highly recommend them to anyone for any occasion!
GUEST




John and Max Mills did a great job at our wedding. My husband and I did a "destination" wedding in Manhattan Beach and John and Max made it easy to handle the details, especially from Texas. We felt very much at ease going into our big day (well, as much as anyone feels at ease :) ). I can't say they blended into the background, because that is not what we wanted. My husband is very picture happy, so we wanted every shot there was, and that is what we got, but the Mills did it in a way that also gave us time to enjoy ourselves and our family and friends...John and Max took some fabulous photos, including a special trip to the beach between the church and the reception site. We had a hard time deciding which shots to include in our package because there were so many that we wanted. We ended up with an album that is a beautiful peice of art and memories that we know we will treasure forever, but John and Max were also a part of our celebration as individuals and helped to make it an extra special day.
GUEST




John and Max photographed our special day and captured many cherished moments. Every interaction we had with them and their staff made us even more confident that we have chosen the best possible photographer. We highly recommend them to everyone who wants to photograph any event.
GUEST




John & Max are the best! Not only extremely talented with great service, but just very thoughtful and kind people. They really listened to what was important to us and made sure to capture every special moment. As a team they photographed in black and white and in color so we had lots and lots of images to choose from. We constantly get compliments on the album they put together for us. It's beautiful, professional and classic. And they were great to work with for our family and friends who ordered prints of many photos from them after our wedding.
GUEST




John and Max Mills are THE best wedding photographers out there! My hubby and I got married in 2004 and truly loved having the Mills as a part of our wedding day! We checked out a few different photographers before we met John and Max, and we immediately felt at ease with their kindness and professionalism. After seeing examples of their amazing work, we couldn�t wait for them to shoot our engagement and wedding photos. They did not disappoint!
On the day of the wedding, the Mills gently guided us when taking posed pictures and then quietly melted away into the background while still capturing fabulous candid shots. They were fun to be around and even our guests commented on how sweet our photographers were! John and Max also have a great eye for detail and were quick to hone in on all those little special touches we had put so much thought and effort into planning. When we viewed our pictures shortly after our wedding, we couldn�t believe how perfectly they had captured every aspect of our most special day! It was so hard to narrow down which pictures to actually put in our album since they were all so good.
We keep our beautiful wedding album out on our coffee table and guests are always drawn to its unique style and layout. (I have to admit, I absolutely adore still getting compliments on how beautiful our wedding was�5 years later and by people who weren�t even there!)
Do yourself a favor and reduce your stress by not looking any further than Mills Photography. You will love them � now AND in the future!
GUEST




We were more than happy with our beautiful wedding photos taken by John and Max. They were a dream to work with before, during and after our wedding. During a day filled with so much excitement they not only captured our special moments but knew precisely what to capture. We often look through our album and it brings us right back to our special day.
I highly recommend John and Max to provide you with both professional and artistic quality photos that will be family heirlooms for years to come.
GUEST




John and Max Mills were the perfect photographers for our wedding. The professionalism of their photos speaks for itself, but it was their positive and accodomating personalities that mattered the most to us on our "big day." No request was too big or deemed too small; they made sure to catch every special aspect of the ceremony and reception, both planned and in the moment. I would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone.
GUEST




John and Max Mills are the best photographers a bride and groom could ask for. They are easy going yet professional at the same time. They did our wedding 8 1/2 years ago and I still remember them to this day. We were so thrilled with our wedding pictures that we hope to do a family portrait with them once our kids are a little older. They feel like long time friends rather than just a photographer. I would recommend them to anyone and not just for weddings! - Stephanie
GUEST




John and Max Mills photographed our wedding and we could not have been happier with their service, expertise, and keen eyes. We met prior to the wedding to go over timing of the day, what special photos to take, and get a general feel for working together, etc. (I would have never thought of these things).
One of them took color photos while the other captured special moments in black and white. The amazing thing to me was that we really never knew they were at our wedding, but we ended up with some of the most beautiful portraits, candid shots, group panoramas and captivating photographic art which we proudly display as such. They very discreetly went about their work, while we enjoyed every moment of the ceremony and reception.
Max has a special talent and gave great advice as to what makes a good album, a great wall-hanging, or an artistic statement. She was exceptionally patient with me as I made our selections and I appreciated her professional advice. I am grateful that Mills Photography captured my wedding so beautifully.
GUEST




John and Max Mills captured our engagement and wedding with the loveliest photos. Their work was outstanding. Working with them was a wonderful experience. They were kind, courteous, fun, and engaging. They were professional, yet personable. They knew how to pose us so that the pictures would be flattering, and they also knew how to capture a variety of emotions. If I could go back to my wedding day and do everything over, I would not change a thing! John and Max captured a fantastic experience for me and my husband, and for our entire family, for that matter. Now, eight years later, my husband and I still look back upon the photos from our engagement and our wedding with joy! If you are looking for a photographer who will enhance your wedding experience, you should go with John and Max!
GUEST




We were married 34 years ago. At that time we had a photographer that really did a terrible job on the pictures. Max and John were able to take those photographs and improve the quality dramatically through their expertise. We are delighted with the results. As we turn the pages of the beautiful new album that Max designed and so creatively put together for us, we can now truly enjoy the memories of that day. They are experienced and professional and use their knowledge to capture one of the most important days in a couples life. The photos captured of your wedding become more precious as the years go by. We certainly wish we would have had John and Max at our wedding. Our advise is to choose wisely who will take those photos.
Thanks John and Max for saving our wedding day memories.
Mike and Kris M.
GUEST




Within three minutes of meeting John and Max Mills, you begin to wonder if you'd rather just invite them to your wedding as guests, because they are extremely friendly, down to earth, real, and for lack of a fancier word, cool. Then you remember you went to see them about photography and if you do, then you have made an excellent choice. John and Max are professional, creative, not-intrusive, and an absolute pleasure to work with. Make sure to ask about their "Getting to know you" session which you will do before the wedding, which helps what is an already easy bond and gives you an example of what a joy they are to work with. We barely even noticed them at the wedding yet all of the most important moments were captured. Their prices were significantly less than others we had talked to and they are easily worth 10 times what you will pay. This is a no brainer. All you need to do is meet with them once. We were so happy with our wedding photographs and album that we are already talking to them about taking baby pictures for us. Wedding planning can be hard, so make one part of it easy - go see John and Max!
GUEST




Max and John provided very personal and professional service to us. they were responsive to our needs and kept within our budget. the final product was absolutely terrific!
GUEST




John & Max are absolutely wonderful to work with. They truly captured the essence of our wedding day and created a story for us to cherish. Their photos are beautiful and they have that wonderful eye for knowing what will work. None of our photos felt forced, yet we had a nice blend of candid and posed shots. They are fun to work with and understand that the day is about you - and are as unobtrusive as possible. The biggest problem we had was trying to chose the photos for our album since there were so many wonderful pictures! Thank you John & Max!!
GUEST




On your wedding day you will depend on your vendors to be on time and to deliver the products and services they promised in a professional manner. It is important to talk to your photographer(s) at length before your wedding to let them know exactly what kinds of shots your want, and what your don't want. Don't expect them to read your mind or somehow just intuitively know. They can't and they won't. But if you are honest with them and with yourself ahead of time and if you give them a clear instruction of your vision, your photographs will meet or exceed your expectations. You need to be very direct with John and Max about what you want. I cannot stress enough how grateful we are that we chose to see eachother before the ceremony to take most of our of posed portraits before our guests arrived. John and Max were there to catch the moment when my groom came around the corner and saw me for the first time in my wedding dress. They photographed the excitement and joy in our faces and preserved the moment for a lifetime. Because we posed for most of our formal portraits before the guests ever arrived, we were able to relax and enjoy the reception with our family and friends. Our guests were not kept waiting and hungry while we posed for pictures after the ceremony. I would HIGHLY recommend other brides and grooms do the same. John and Max gave us a CD with every image they shot at our wedding. This was invaluable in preserving our memories. Some other photographers charge extra for this, but John and Max include it in the price of every photography package they offer. I only wish that John and Max had spent a little more time listening to what the bride and groom wanted, instead of what the parents wanted. We ended up having to photo shop most of our portraits that went into the album and the large wall portrait because someone was looking away or various things had to be edited out of the background. I wish the photographers had thought about the background ahead of time so that we didn't have to photoshop so much. I also wish they would have taken the time to make sure everyone was looking in the same direction in the photos.
GUEST




We were very pleased with the service John & Max provided for us. The pictures from our wedding came out stunningly beautiful. They arrived early and we were very happy we chose them to be our photographer for our wedding. I highly recommend them, they're skillful and overall outstanding.
GUEST




John and Max Mills are fantastic photographers! We met with four different photographers before making our decision. As soon as we met John and Max, we knew right away that we wanted to hire them. They are timely and very artistic. They both made us feel really comfortable and our family and guests also felt comfortable. They captured every moment. They are also very flexible with taking suggestions with what types of photos you want. They are well respected and worked with my vendors well!
GUEST




John and Max are true professionals and artists, yet they were able to make us feel like we were just hanging out with friends during our engagement photos so we appeared happy and relaxed (which is hard to get my husband to do!) When they photographed our wedding a few months later, they captured every moment with such elegance and creativity. I would recommend them to my friends and family and plan to call them for pregnancy photots in the future!
GUEST




Max & John Mill's are a married couple who both have an extensive background in photography. They captured my wedding day perfectly. Visit their website for examples. Max is great, she is very creative and wonderful to work with. While her husband John captures many of the standard wedding photo pictures and poses, Max catches the poignant moments of the event. They are a great team.
GUEST




After further thought, I'm updating my review to reflect the entire experience.
Our photos turned out fine and a lot was captured that my husband & I didn't get a chance to notice on our wedding day.
However, we were disappointed when we were offered an "upgrade" to high resolution photos in exchange for 3 good reviews on different websites. We also learned during this same conversation that without the upgrade our photos wouldn't print well unless they were wallet-sized or smaller.
Considering the price that we paid for our package, we shouldn't have to write a review to receive the full product, especially when the high resolutions photos were ready to send.
To be honest, it is offenseive that they only cared about our opinion as a tool to further their business.
What can we say about John & Max Mills Photography! Over the years we've worked with many photographers, but John & Max stand out for the quality of their work, their professionalism and the passion that they have for photography and knowing how to capture the little nuances that make your wedding day special! John & Max are one of our favorite photographers to work with! We like them and confidently refer them to all of our clients that are looking for photography!
In the last 20 years I have been involved in more that 1400 weddings. In that time I have worked with countless photographers and I must say John and Max are outstanding.
Capturing every moment is important but doing it in an unobtrusive manner is paramount. So many photographers eat up considerable time with "photo" delays. Meaning stopping the flow to get a picture. Their work may be good but at what cost to your precious ceremony & reception time. Unfortunately this is something you won't realize until your reception is over it's too late.
Capturing the moment without interruption is an art form and John and Max are the masters. Taking into consideration of the amount of money you will spend on your wedding, the time they will save you during your rececption alone, make them worth every penny. You will not find a better pair of photographers!

Great photos and great people. John & Max are such a pleasure to work with. They are always ready to get that "perfect" shot. I've had them do my head shots that turned out great.
