Channing Johnson
Boston Wedding Photographer - Candid & Unobtrusive
Skilled Photographer with Diverse Portfolio Capturing Meaningful Moments
I have a photojournalism degree from the oldest and most prestigious journalism school in the country. TIME Magazine, The Wall Street Journal, and U.S. News and World Report have all hired me to photograph assignments for them. Whether I’m capturing moments for a national audience or for a single family, I draw on my storytelling background to honor the truth in all moments big and small.
I've shot over 350 weddings and have never gotten tired of documenting humans interacting on such an important day. When I'm not photographing I enjoy watching movies. I love to surf. I'm also a big soccer fan.
