Gwen & Eli - 2021

In February, I had the amazing opportunity to take photos of my dear friends, Gwen & Eli for their wedding. It was a beautiful day on February 27th, 2021 and the day went super well. A good friend of mine named Bailey even got to do the video so it was a familiar and fun tag team.

I’ve known Gwen since Jr. High and her and her now-husband Eli met in High School. It feels like they have been with each other for centuries at this point and to be able to capture and celebrate their day with them was extraordinary. They got married in a beautiful landscape in San Juan Capistrano with loved ones and friends all around.

Here are some of my favorite photos from the day.

I shot on my Canon 6D Mark I and pretty much used my 24mm-105mm lens the entire day. It allowed me to get everything from wide’s to zooms which is really great for running around all day and shooting by myself. Smaller weddings like this are great for solo shooters like me as I can usually capture every moment happening and I love to feel intimate with the wedding. I hope to shoot for Gwen & Eli in the future and hope you all enjoy the photos here and on my website!

Hello everyone!

2020 was quite an adventure wasn’t it? With the world still trying to manage the current pandemic, I’m hoping 2021 is looking up in terms of my photography.

This year I want to expand on my services and what I can bring to the table. I’m hoping to either open or re-design sections of my website to include video and drone use. I know a lot of people need creative work done for many different areas so I want to be able to assist in anyway I can!

Consider following my Instagram (@johnwloneill) to keep up with everything I’m doing. Stay safe everyone!
