About Tumbaco Photography

Tumbaco Photography

Owner and Lead Photographer

Hi, I’m John, owner of Tumbaco Photography, based in Dover, DE. I specialize in wedding photography that blends elegant artistry with authentic storytelling. My goal is to preserve the heartfelt moments and unique details of your day, creating natural and timeless images. Whether you’re planning a local or destination wedding, I offer tailored packages and a professional, relaxed experience to ensure your photos are as memorable as your celebration. No matter what your love looks like, I’m here to capture it beautifully.

I focus on authentic moments, natural smiles, and the in-between emotions that make your wedding uniquely yours. Before your wedding, we build a thoughtful plan together so nothing meaningful is missed while still leaving space for spontaneity. Couples often say they feel comfortable and fully themselves in front of my camera, which leads to more genuine images. Every package is customizable so you only pay for what matters most, and I offer flexible payment options to make professional wedding photography accessible.

    Sponaugle Wedding

    Tumbaco Photography was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. From the very beginning, their communication was fantastic - they were incredibly responsive, professional, and made sure they fully understood our vision for the day. On the wedding day itself, the photographer was attentive, discreet, and captured all the moments we wanted perfectly. The final photos were exactly what we had envisioned, with a beautiful blend of formal portraits and candid shots that truly reflect the joy and excitement of our special day. We cannot recommend Tumbaco Photography highly enough to any couple looking for talented, dedicated photographers to document their wedding.

    A photographer you’d want to work with

    We had an amazing experience working with John for my grandma’s wedding. He made us all feel comfortable and the pictures turned out amazing. Would definitely contact him again for upcoming events


It’s best to book your wedding photographer at least 6-12 months in advance to ensure availability. However, if your date is closer, feel free to reach out, and I’ll do my best to accommodate you!
Sometimes, I’ll bring one or more assistant photographers depending on the size of your wedding. Don’t worry, this won’t cost you extra. It will be included in the price of your package or discussed ahead of time if it is an add-on.
My turnaround time varies by season. Typically, you’ll be able to view your photos online about 4-8 weeks after your wedding. Within this time, you can also expect to receive a USB drive with high-resolution image files, so you can share the photos with your loved ones and order prints.
Definitely. All final images will be edited for color, saturation, exposure, and sharpness to ensure they look beautiful. I will also perform minor retouching services like blemish removal and teeth whitening, if you'd like, for no additional charge. There will be an opportunity for adjustments and re-edits after the initial delivery, so don't worry if you want me to make some additional edits later!
You can expect about 50-100 images per hour of photographing. But keep in mind this estimate varies depending on your wedding package, number of guests, venue type, and other factors.
Absolutely! Just let me know if your venue requires a certificate of liability, and I’ll send that over to them.
In all my years of experience as a wedding photographer, I’ve never cancelled a booking. In the very rare event that I’m unable to photograph your wedding, I’ll make sure you’re covered by one of my colleagues or my contracted assistant. I’ll also provide you with a list of photographers from the many networking groups I’m in, so you can find the perfect replacement. If I'm unable to secure a replacement photographer, I will refund 100% of the money you paid, even your booking deposit.
