Wedding Photographer

It's rare to bring a presenter back so quickly after an event he or she has participated in, but in John's case, the timing was perfect. He's recently released an expanded 2nd edition of his book, "The Perfect Imperfect," which will be published this fall by Damiani Books. So in this rare, exceptional circumstance, John will be interviewed on stage in Lisbon, as opposed to delivering a regular keynote.

I am a photographer fascinated by the messy human drama of two families blending together on a wedding day. My career has been a blend of editorial, advertising and weddings. My clients are people who care about photography. From Gwyneth Paltrow to Ben Stiller, as well as many people in art and media, I see myself as a photographer at a wedding, rather than a traditional wedding photographer. I am a personal historian, documenting the event from an intimate point of view, almost like a guest with a really good camera. In 2021, I published The Perfect Imperfect, The Wedding Photographs of John Dolan, with Damiani Books.
