John Lyons Photography

Happy new year! Let’s kick off 2021 with a quick introduction for those that don’t know me that well yet. I’m John Lyons - a photographer that specializes in wedding photography for fun and stylish couples. My style has been described as timeless, elegant and romantic. After photographing more than 300 weddings over the past 15 years, I've really come to value the unexpected, intimate moments that take place on a wedding day. ... One thing I get asked about all the time is the meaning of Ohana and Mahalo that are tattooed on each of my forearms. Ohana. Ohana means family and so much more. It’s the people in your life who are bound together by genuine compassion, culture, loyalty and love for each other. My Ohana my family, my friends, my community is the most important thing to me. I value their love, loyalty and support more than anything. When I am trusted to photograph your family your Ohana it is a true honour that I do not take lightly. Mahalo. Mahalo can simply mean thank you. But like Ohana, it’s true meaning is much deeper. It’s a spirit of gratitude, respect and even admiration. Every day I am grateful for my family and my friends; and especially in these times, their health and happiness. I have a career that I am extremely passionate about and that almost every weekend I am trusted to document the beginning of a brand new family. Swipe to see my Ohana and what I am grateful for everyday.

Looking back at 2020, here is one of my favourite engagement sessions - Josh and Natasha in beautiful Oakville! #johnlyonsweddings

Well, 2020 was quite the year to be in the wedding industry thats for sure! After weeks and even months of scheduling and rescheduling, my otherwise big year of 20+ weddings was whittled down to just four. Now that's four smaller, but amazingly love and joy-filled affairs. Even though I only photographed four weddings, I still had a busy fall with engagement sessions for my 2021 and 2022 couples. Here's one of my favourite sessions - Josh and Natasha in beautiful Oakville! #johnlyonsweddings
