Candid. Timeless. Natural.
Welcome to John Benavente Photography, your premier choice for timeless and candid wedding photography in Australia. I am John, an award-winning wedding photographer with a passion for capturing moments as they naturally unfold. I strive to create images that are not only beautiful but also tell a story, a story that will transport you back to your special day every time you look at your photos.
I am based on the stunning South Coast of NSW, but I am more than happy to travel to document your wedding, no matter where it is in Australia. I believe that every wedding is unique, and I approach each one with a fresh perspective, capturing the love, laughter, and tears that make your day special.
My style is candid and natural, and I work hard to make sure that you feel comfortable and relaxed in front of the camera. I want your photos to be a reflection of who you are as a couple, and I aim to capture the essence of your relationship in every image.
