Testimonials
Beth W.
I enjoyed seeing you at Melissa & James' wedding, this past December.
As you already know I love your photography. However, I have never been more
impressed watching you document Melissa's wedding. Your professionalism and
demeanor was outstanding. I never would have known there was a photographer
present if I hadn't met you.
We are excited and thrilled to have you as
our photographer.
James T.
I just wanted to let you know how pleased I am with the pictures. The
one over the fireplace really captures our personalities. Thanks for
your great work!
Lorette F.
Thank you so much, the headshots look great. You made this such a
pleasant experience, from the time I stepped into your studio, you put me at ease.
The touch-ups you made to the photos truly made a difference and I thank
you. Rest assured that if ever I have an opportunity to refer Picture-Story
Studio, I will...
Susan P.
Jim-the portraits are unbelievable. Thank you for your great care and
professionalism during all of our meetings, photo shoot and selection
process. Yves and I are so pleased.

Jim covered our military wedding at Fort Myer Chapel. His ability to get
JUST the right shot was phenomenal. Just as important, he showed an
outstanding ability to communicate with us about HIS vision for our album,
and he went the extra mile to make sure that his vision matched what WE were looking for.
Jim is truly a pro, and it was a real treat to spend time with someone so passionate
about his craft. I wholeheartedly recommend him to other potential customers, and can
say with certainty that you'll be delighted with his participation in your wedding.
Michelle D.
Thank you very much for the pictures. They turned out wonderful. Also,
thanks for getting them to us before the party it was a HUGE hit. We
are looking forward to doing business with you again.
Joyce and Bill C.
One has to see the album of wedding pictures of our daughter's
wedding to appreciate the fantastic
look and feel of the event. The quality of the work
is exceptional! All of the photographs express the
love and happiness that the wedding brought, not only
to the bride and groom, but to all the participants.
From the youngest children to the oldest family
members and friends, the joy of the day was evident in
every picture taken.
It is an extraordinary work!

Having our portraits taken by Jim Johnson took place as a wonderfully
rich, engaging, and fun dialogue. He let us play, interact, and be
ourselves while he took photos. He talked to us and asked us
questions to get us in the right frame of mind. He asked us only to
do what felt comfortable and was laughing right along with us while
he worked. The photo session lasted a couple of hours but we had such
a lovely time that our three girls didn’t seem to mind or even be
aware of the time.
Prior to our photo session, Jim met with us twice. The first time was
in his office to show us samples of his work and to find out what
kind of photos we wanted - not just who would be in the pictures and
where we would want them taken, but what kind of mood did we want to
come forth in the pictures. The second time we met with Jim, he came
to our house and met the rest of our family. He talked to our
daughters to get a sense of their personalities and to find out their
interests. He also took a walk with us down to the location. When we
saw him the third time, for our photo session, he knew all of our
names and seemed to have a good feel for the entire family.
The process of having our photos taken by Jim was just as delightful
as the portraits it produced. Jim Johnson is a treasure just waiting
to be found.
Hillary and Carlos
Carlos and I were extremely pleased with the moments you captured on our
wedding day! Looking through our album was like reliving the day. Our
families have been blown away, too. You made my dad's 60th birthday
unforgettable. Not only was I able to surprise my parents with my visit
but with the album. It literally brought them both to tears! We're still
in the process of deciding what photos we want to order. You've made the
job difficult for us. :) In any event, we thank you for putting
together a treasured album.
Nicole and David
Thank-you very much - the picture book is lovely! You do exceptional
work!
Susan and Rick
We want to thank you for the wonderful album of our wedding pictures. The pictures indeed "tell a story." They capture the spirit of the evening perfectly.
Cynthia W.
Continue your personal, professional, outstanding service.
You made myself and family so comfortable during the photo session.
The portraits are in our dining room for all to see. Many times,
I find myself just sitting and looking and smiling! Thanks a lot!
Stacey
Wonderful! The photos really caught the special relationship
my daughter and husband share.
Judy and Charles
We just wanted to let you know how much we love our wedding pictures.
They are a real reflection of our love. You did such a wonderful job
of capturing the story of our special day. Some of the shots are so
creative and touching, unlike any we have ever seen. We are so glad
that we chose you as our photographer.
Sabrina and Robert
Our photographs are beautiful and we are so happy we chose your studio
to work with us. I tell everyone about your studio! Thank you again for
creating such beautiful memories from our wedding day.
Vanessa and John S
We loved the expert way you captured the event without anyone knowing
all the pictures you took. Thanks so much for your excellent attitude
and work.
Steph and Chris
You photographed our wedding in Bluemont, VA in May 2001. We love all
our pictures and friends always compliment them! We are living in
Boston now (we just had our first child - baby Ben), and are planning
to move overseas soon. I had two questions for you. One, we wanted to
order a few more pictures before leaving. And second, you had told us
at the time that it may be possible to have our negatives - given that
we have no idea when we will be back in the US.
(EDITOR'S NOTE: Chris and Steph will be able to get their pictures and
negatives.)
Jeff and Lydia
I was wondering how far back your catalog of wedding photos goes. My
wife and I wed on October 14, 1989! Everyone we've ever shown our photo
album to loves the pictures and we cherish our album to this day. The
one thing we never did was get a large wall sized print. Are prints
available from that far back? Thank you for your time and I hope we're
lucky enough to finally get that large wedding picture!
(EDITOR'S NOTE: Our catalog does go that far back and they will get
that wall print!)
Jane and Dudley
Thank-you so very much for the lovely wedding photos. They speak
love. The bride and groom were certainly beautiful and well
complimented by the setting, but your eye caught some of the moments of
the day that are priceless memories for us. We will cherish this record
always.
Nicole F
Jim, the wedding photographs are incredible! Every time we look at
them, we rediscover the magic of the day. Thank you.
Sabrina and Robert S
Mr. Johnson, Robert and I recently received our wedding photos and we
are so pleased and excited! The photos are beautiful and you captured
all of the speical moments of our wonderful day. Looking at the photos
brought me to tears as if I were reliving the day all over again! How
did you get some of those shots?!?! Incredible. You are truly artist in
every sense of the word and such a nice man, too! Thank you so much for
the beautiful photos and for helping us preserve the wonderful memories
we have of our wedding day. Keep an eye out for us to call you for a
family portrait in a few years. :-).
Nancy and Matt C
Thank-you so much for all of your hard work at our wedding in August!
We know you gave it your all and put forth a lot of sweat. You and your
assistant made our guests and us feel so relaxed. We again thank you
and look forward to seeing the pictures that tell our story.
Lianna S
Viewing our album is like watching the movie I've been playing in my
mind over and over since our wedding day. Jim captured every emotion,
reaction and expression and presented us with an album of living,
breathing pictures that tell the story of our wedding. If I listen
closely I can hear the voices and sounds of our special day.
Kenya and Victor J
All I could say was WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!! I could not have been more pleased
with our pictures. Jim spoke about the theme of my wedding and what I
wanted for my pictures; and he didn't miss a beat. He captured every
emotion. Happiness, Love, Aniexty, Humor, etc. It was so much more than
I had expected. He was also a joy to work with. He is very easy going
and kind, and I was very comfortable with him there. We even took a few
shots in the end. Jim was definetly a major player in making my
fairytale come true.
Sarah K
I concur with others, your pictures are wonderful. Congrats!
Quinton and Melissa B
You are an artist! The pictures are absolutely wonderful. They tell our
story in such a moving way. I knew from the first consultation that we
had with you that you were a professional and you enjoy what you do. I
cannot begin to tell you how good you made us look. Pictures are
wonderful, but if the bride is not gorgeous in every picture what's the
use (smile). Everyone commented on your professionalism and demeanor
(especially the best man). When we show the photos to those who
attended the wedding they are taken back to that day and they still get
chills. We had a remarkabale wedding that is etched in our memory for
the rest of our lives. Thank you for giving us a beautiful visual to
look at every day to remind us of the magic and sprit filled day we
had. I don't give excellent ratings to many, but you are truly off the
charts! Thank you again for being a part of what is a dream come true.
God bless you and your family.
Mary B
Dear Mr Johnson, the wedding pictures are beautiful. Everyone has just
the highest praise for them. Thank you so much.
Eric and Sheryl A
Mr. Johnson, you are an awesome talent with unmatchable skill! Our
wedding on May 31, 2003 was perfect, and you captured that in the most
phenomenal photographs. Your style is such that we barely knew you were
there during the unposed shots. We received raving compliments from
everyone we shared the final album with. I've since recommended you to
several friends that have and will use your services. Again thank you
for capturing the most beautiful and unforgettable memories!
Tom O
Jim, thanks for the good service you gave my family during our visit to
DC a couple weeks ago. It was a pleasure working with you and I'm glad
it all worked out. Thanks again
Holly
Hi Jim, Gosh, I sure hope you remember me and still have the negatives!
I got married June 7, 1998 in Maryland, and you were the photographer
at my wedding. I still have the wonderful proofs that you provided to
me to make my choices for the package I selected. Well, needless to say
allot has happened in the last five years (move to Seattle and back),
and I am finally ready with my photo selections, and also place order
for additional photos.
Jocelyn
Hi Jim! I just received the pictures yesterday. They are fabulous! I
was amazed at all the things you captured. Rob and I really didn't
notice you throughout the day - which was exactly what you intended, I
know. I am really pleased with the photos.
Derek and Sondra J
Jim, Since I noticed that you had a web site that listed some of your
customer's feedback, I had to post my THANKS for a job well done. The
family says hi.
Cecilia and Romney P
We were absolutely amazed at how well the pictures turned out. They
truly depicted our emotions and feelings. It was not contrived or
contorted, just accurate thoughtful memorials of the day. We thought
the service and presentation was great. Jim and Mark really took the
time to get to know us and what we wanted. I think their desire to
create a story with our ideas distinguishes them from most other
photographers. Our friends rave about our album...they all took the
business cards!! Above all we developed a relationship with Jim and
Mark that I hope will continue in the future. Thanks!!!
Janice B
Dear Jim, on behalf of Donald Sadler, myself and the Senior Executives
at the Environmental Protection Agency, I want to express our thanks to
you for photographing our conference and dinner at the Sheraton
Priemier at Tysons Corner. It has been a real pleasure doing business
with you. We look forward to working with you in the future.
Incidentally, I am very interested in getting photographs taken for
myself. You come highly recommended by people at EPA that have used you
for weddings and personal photos. Thanks again for everything.
Quintel and Darryl F
Mr. Johnson and his assistant Gydeon were extremely accomodating. Not
only were the wedding photos reflective of the heartfelt moments but
they also displayed the atmosphere and ambiance of the our day. Future
Brides and Grooms be sure to meet with Mr. Johnson and/or his assistant
to communicate your desire because your photos last a lifetime.
