Juancho SC Photography -

Danny Fender

The PERFECT photographers for an LGBTQ+ wedding. My husband and I cannot recommend Juancho and Johana enough. Their work speaks for itself, but beyond that they are the kindest team you will ever meet. Our first time working with them was for our engagement session downtown. They made the day fun, relaxed, and efficient. Their attention to detail is unmatched. We felt like we were getting to hang out with two close friends the whole time. They have a superpower for making you feel comfortable and confident!

On our wedding day, they were a DREAM. Our wedding party loved the energy they brought to the suite as we got ready for the day. Juancho and Johana know how to add to the party! What I love most about their work is that they are willing to experiment, play, and explore various artistic visions. They capture intimate moments while knowing how to excellently stage more formal poses. We couldn't be happier with our photos from the day. Their photos tell the story of our day so intimately, ensuring that we will never forget every moment. We love them and can't recommend them enough. A worthy investment for a lifetime of memories!

Working with Juancho SC Photography was an absolute dream! After interviewing several photographers, we chose to work with Junacho and Johana because their artistic vision and the deep emotion conveyed in their photos really stood out to us. From the very first conversation, their communication was top-notch, and they made us feel confident and at ease every step of the way.

Leading up to the event, they were incredibly organized and responsive, always making sure we had everything in place. On the day of, Johana was fantastic at helping us organize our timeline and logistics, making sure we had plenty of time to capture all the special moments we wanted without feeling rushed.

What made the experience even better was how much fun Junacho and Johana were to work with. They were warm, friendly, and made us feel so comfortable, which really helped us relax and enjoy the day. The photos we received are absolutely stunning, and we’ve received so many compliments from our family and friends about how beautiful and emotional they are.

We are beyond thrilled with the final result and are so grateful to have had Junacho and Johana be a part of our special day. Thank you both for capturing these unforgettable memories!

I cannot say enough about how amazing it was to work with Juan and Johana! We met with several photographers early in the process, but their energy was so good, I could feel it through the Zoom. I knew we wanted that energy around us and our guests on our wedding day.

Juan and Johana also make an incredible use of light and color, which separated them from other photographers that we looked at. We did an end of the night champagne pop photoshoot and it came out amazing! They have a great way of capturing raw moments and cultivating breathtaking shots that feel effortless.

They were also great with our young children, who naturally can be difficult photo subjects. Our son is now camera obsessed after being around Juan and Johana in action!

10/10 highly recommend working with this fabulous couple!

What's not to say about Juancho & Johana? They are the best in the biz! Their energy and passion for their work is palpable. They really understood the vibe we wanted for our wedding day and executed it perfectly. We worked with them for both our engagement photos and our wedding day photos. We didn't initially care one way or another if we had engagement photos, but we're so glad we did! It only gave a sneak preview to what our wedding day would look like. The Chicago Air & Water Show got moved to our wedding weekend and with our "first look" on the rooftop of our hotel, we asked for a once in a lifetime shot of the Blue Angels flying in the background of our photos. And they delivered!!! The full album has been nothing short of immaculate and we loved reliving our day. We are over the moon happy and can't recommend them enough.

We absolutely LOVED Johana and Juancho and would highly recommend this team to anyone looking to capture their special moments!! From our very first introduction we knew they were the ones we wanted to work with for our wedding! Their energy, connection with each other and their ability to capture love was something we had not seen. They were super responsive and thoughtful throughout our wedding planning (which included a Covid delay), and made sure our needs were always met. On our wedding day they were the "pump up" team and everyone from our wedding party to wedding guests to even other vendors thought they were the BEST!! Looking back on our wedding photos makes me emotional every time too because you can truly see the love and celebration come to life in each one!!!

Juancho and Johanna simply put are a dream to work with.

We chose them to capture our big day not only because they have an incredible catalog, but because we had the pleasure of seeing them in action at a previous wedding. Seeing how well they operated in person, during an event, sold us before we had even begun our search.

They were such a pleasure to work with from the engagement photo shoot through the wedding, and all of the messages in-between. They made sure we knew what to expect and took all of our wishes into consideration in the moments that mattered.

On the day of wedding they are on top of everything. They get creative with the space and the lighting in ways you won’t expect and the shots that come out of it will blow you away. They get the shot. Every one of them. You won’t be disappointed when you choose this team to capture your big day.

This year was not the year we had hoped it would be, nor was our wedding the day we had planned it to be. But when it came time to decide whether or not we would post pone our original wedding day, we knew we still wanted to get married. Before making the decision of whether or not we should postpone we reached out to Juancho and Johana to see if they were available. Fortunately, they were and were extremely quick to respond to our inquiry submission.

Being an event coordinator, I was able to experience them first hand and see what amazing work they did. I have seen Juancho run from point A to point B get on the floor stand on a chair.. basically doing whatever it takes to get the shot. Seeing their art work, I showed their work to my now husband and said that if we were going to postpone, Juancho and Johana were the photographers we needed to work with. They are the ones to bring our fairytale wedding to life. And to be honest, they did just that.

This duo team is not just any team, they are a couple of whom show their love to one another regardless of how stressful a day could get. They share their story with everyone on social media, and their story is exactly as it is perceived in real life, and nothing is more comforting than seeing that on your wedding day. When having to make a decision of whether or not to postpone, or if we were packing too much into our schedule on the day of... they never pressured us to make a decision we weren't 100% on. They encouraged us, and gave us insight based on their experience. Their advice goes a long way!

On the day of the wedding, they arrived early to prep, and stayed a bit later because our ceremony was running late due to technical difficulties to ensure that we got ALL of the shots we wanted. With all of the nerves that you feel on the day of, Johana and Juancho made not only my type A self feel comfortable to let my guard down, but also my crazy family and bridal party. We have never taken photos like this for any weddings before and this was our first experience with any photographer. We never felt more comfortable or laughed as hard naturally as we had on the day of.

For our wedding day, we decided to live stream our big day to our family and friends so that we were able to ensure that everyone got to be a part of our day from a safe distance. My reason for bringing this up is because when we watched back the livestream the next day... you could see Juancho going from side to side, up, down, left, right, and our entire family was pretty sure at one point he was considering jumping into the fountain behind him to get a shot. All in all, you can not find a better team anywhere else. We are so excited with how beautiful our photos came out that we had to share more than one here.

We highly recommend booking Juancho SC Photography for your special day, they are amazing at their craft and you will never have to worry for a second of whether or not they got the shot... because most likely Juancho has gotten from 4 different angles. 🙂 We can't wait to book them for other events in the future!

If you are reading this, you are reading about the BEST photographers in the business. We found them through friends who had the most amazing photos and we were hooked. Juancho and Johana take beautiful, magical photos that not only accurately represent your emotions and love on your special day, but also your personality. What stands out equally to their photography is their hearts. These are the people you want with you on your special day. They bring laughter, fun and love. You truly feel special and are reminded what matters on your wedding day when everything is moving crazy fast. They were extremely easy and wonderful to work with; they were responsive, helpful and so supportive, especially amongst the COVID chaos. We used them for both our engagement and wedding photos and have received nothing but "These are amazing!" and "You look so happy!". If you are still reading this review, you should stop and book them NOW!
