It’s been a while since I’ve posted to this account, huh? • Well, I’m back, and I’m going to start back up by posting a third photo from Laura and Mat’s special day. • • • COVID wrecked every photography gig I had this spring and summer, but I’ve recently gone out and shot some new portrait sets in the last couple of weeks. • Stay tuned. More photos to come. •⠀ •⠀ •⠀ @lkgusty20 @thecavaliervb #johncacherophotography #wedding #bride #groom #portrait #weddingportrait #professionalphotographer #weddingphotographer @photosbyjohncachero (at The Historic Cavalier Hotel & Beach Club) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDcvKBHhbST/?igshid=1sx0m6yqwg090

2020 is the first year of my photography career since 2008 that I do not have a wedding to photograph as the primary photographer. I’ll be honest... this is a huge relief. I am still second shooting weddings for primary photographers that can afford me, so I will still get my wedding fix. •⠀ So, with that said, I’m still going to share photos of weddings every now and again that are worth sharing. • • • I had the pleasure of photographing Laura and Mat’s wedding at the historic Cavalier Hotel in Virginia Beach. • I love these moments when the bride is finishing up getting ready with her closest clan around her. These are probably my favorite photos to take pre-ceremony.⠀ •⠀ Thank you, Laura and Mat, for allowing me to be a part of your special day! •⠀ •⠀ •⠀ @lkgusty20 @thecavaliervb #johncacherophotography #wedding #bride #portrait #details #windowlight #professionalphotographer #weddingphotographer @photosbyjohncachero (at The Historic Cavalier Hotel & Beach Club) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-r52CvB5xO/?igshid=1sqb57iwoav4z

Finally, after months of trying to have our schedules align, I collaborated with @brookelesheasbeauties on a shoot she wants to offer her clients. More to come in my next IGTV post. Stay tuned. — If you want an amazing pampered, women’s empowerment experience, get in touch with Brooke. She travels to several cities on the east coast helping ladies feel better about themselves. So awesome. #johncacherophotography #brookelesheasbeauties #candles #candlelightshoot #professionalphotographer @photosbyjohncachero (at Virginia Beach, Virginia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7WaLoABsqO/?igshid=16guh9vctpsgi

The NextDoor app. It’s a thing.⠀ •⠀ •⠀ •⠀ I had the pleasure of photographing Lori and Matt’s wedding in Virginia Beach.⠀ •⠀ I had such great rapport with this couple that I was certain that they must have been a referral from another client, but when I was discussing with them how they found me after the wedding, it turns out they found me on the NextDoor app. This is just a reminder to you other creative types out there to make sure you are taking advantage of all the opportunities out there to get more business. I just kindly remind my neighbors about once a season that they have a professional photographer available to them. Don’t they look lovely, folks?

I look forward to hanging out with y’all in the future.⠀ •⠀ •⠀ •⠀ @lori71176 #johncacherophotography #wedding #bride #groom #portrait #business #professionalphotographer #weddingphotographer @photosbyjohncachero (at Virginia Beach, Virginia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B6Iltr0hI4I/?igshid=1d8vmgcn04mf7

Spidey And the Detail of the Rings⠀ •⠀ •⠀ •⠀ I had the pleasure of photographing Lori and Matt’s wedding in Virginia Beach.⠀ •⠀ When it came time for me to do the detail shots of their rings, I knew exactly how I wanted to compose the shot with Matt holding. I’m very pleased. So are they.⠀ •⠀ Thank you, Lori and Matt, for allowing me to be a part of your special day!

I especially appreciate when I connect with clients that have the same geek culture sensibilities as myself.⠀ •⠀ •⠀ •⠀ I had the pleasure of photographing Lori and Matt’s wedding in Virginia Beach.⠀ •⠀ When Matt messaged me asking if it was okay to get a photo of his Spider-Man tee underneath his suit, I responded with an emphatic, “Hell yeah! Of course!” (Swipe for a non-cropped version of this photo.)⠀ •⠀ Thank you, Lori and Matt, for allowing me to be a part of your special day!

With American Ninja Warrior Season 12 audition submissions due this Friday, now’s a great time to share some of my journey in the ninja community during Season 11.⠀ •⠀ •⠀ •⠀ Here is one of my absolute favorite ninjas, Maggi Thorne. She is one of the most friendly and genuine person I’ve met in my entire life. Just being in her presence always brings a smile to my face. Maggi is a super awesome lady that anyone can look to for inspiration.⠀ •⠀ This portrait, on-set in L.A., we managed to get as the rain continued to fall more heavily, stopping production on the first night of taping. Maggi is a natural in front of the camera and rocked out what little time we had before the rain was too much.

With American Ninja Warrior Season 12 audition submissions due this Friday, now’s a great time to share some of my journey in the ninja community during Season 11.⠀ •⠀ •⠀ •⠀ Here is one of my favorite ninjas, Nick Hanson, the Eskimo Ninja. He is one of the ninjas I hadn’t met during my travels in Season 10 and I’m so glad I got to hang with him on set in Los Angeles this year. Great dude.⠀ •⠀ This portrait, on-set in L.A., we managed to get as the rain continued to fall more heavily, stopping production on the first night of taping. Nick used this photo to announce that he got the call for Season 11. Good ish!
