Aquario features the photography of nationally-know artist John Woolley. His approach is a blend of Fine Art, Paparazzi, and Fashion, resulting in a unique 'Editorial' style. Not posed and static like traditional imagery, or completely candid like 'snapshot photojournalism', editorial style is loosely directed, with an eye for dramatic settings and sculpted light. This is closer to the way editorial fashion photographers work, and relies on lots of movement and spontaneity, for a gorgeous natural feel.
This dramatic approach to wedding and portrait photography has caught the eye of Good Morning America, In Touch, Professional Photographer, Rangefinder, The Knot Southern California, Brides, San Diego Style Weddings, and numerous other publications, making John one of California's best known and most respected wedding photographers.
He was recently featured in Professional Photographer magazine as 'One to Watch,' and won First Place in WPPI's prestigious international 8x10 contest, with four Accolades of Excellence. Brides love him as well, voting him ‘The Knot Best of Weddings 2007 Pick'and 'Audience Pick' on San Diego City Search.

We just had our engagement photo session with John, and the artistic quality of work far exceeded our expectations considering we aren't the most photogenic couple. John has that sixth sense to take something you could never imagine such as a t-shirts displaying out on a store window to being such a unique background that is still colorful and vibrant.
His mellow attitude will put at ease for any couple who is alittle camera shy. We are eager to see him for our October 2009 wedding this fall!
We just had our engagement session done by Jon and loved the pictures and we can't wait to have them as our wedding photographer. Would reccomend them 100% and plan on making them our official family photographer!
John has a mellow attitude that makes you feel comfortable and takes wonderful pictures that make you look your best! Tamsin does a great job laying out an amazing album that everyone envies!
As a professional Wedding Planner of over 15 years, I know a good photographer when I work with them and when I see the end result. Aquarius is fabulous! Anyone needing a great photographer should definitley check them out!
I have had my family photographed by Aquario three times. The photos are priceless. I also get tons of compliments on the Christmas cards!!! I highly recommend them.
They are the best, we had our maternity pictures taken with them, and everyone was always commenting on how gorgeous the pictures came out. It was such a pleasure working with them and guarantee that myy husband and i will continue to have them photograph us in the happiest of times.
I Love Aquario Studios. I have been getting pictures done by them for years now. The staff is so nice and down to earth. They really make you feel comfortable and always add an unusual creative twist. Beautiful work!
John (from Aquario) captured our engagement, our wedding, our pregnancy, and our newborn in his pictures. All gorgeous pics! Everyone always raves about them!
