We love John Costello! He is laid back and yet very on top of his game! We had an awesome engagement session at Lorimer Park and used those photos for our save the dates. On the day of John & his partner (also John), were on time, professional, and moved through the otherwise mundane picture taking process quickly and efficiently. They were interactive with the wedding party and other guests in the best possible way and kept everyone's spirits high with well timed jokes and breaks. We are so looking forward to seeing our final wedding photos and album. We are extremely confident in all the shots they were able to take. Hat's off to John & John we are so happy you were there to celebrate and capture our day.

John and his team did an amazing job photographing our wedding. To start, his packages are very flexible and you can choose things from the 'a la carte' menu that meet your needs for your big day. He had a quick turn around with processed digital photos. You could tell that he has been photographing weddings for a long time because he knew of every good shot that the bride and groom would want.
I would recommend Costello Photography 100%. They are professional, know what their doing and really will capture your day in the best way possible!

Mr. and Mrs. Costello are amazing. I look at them as a marriage goal! The two of them were so hospitable and kind. We meet them at a tasting a Pinecrest and had no idea they offered photography services. By the end of the night I had a photographer! I believe he was destined to be our photographer. I can't wait to see his work, I have no doubt that it will be wonderful.

John and Doris at Costello Photography were a terrific addition to our wedding day. From the get go during our consultation, my wife and I both knew they were perfect to book for our wedding. They were so flexible with scheduling our engagement photos and were willing to travel anywhere. They were a great team and read each others minds which helped us feel at ease that we knew they would know where to go and what photo to take. Their photography skills are unmatched and they never settle for a "Ehh, yeh that will work" Our faces hurt from smiling, but we never once said to each other, "wow I hope we will be done soon." There were great at explaining every detail, price packages were unmatched and they were never once trying to rush us along through any part of the process. They weren't just our photographers but they truly felt like a couple who cared about us and wanted our day to be the most special day of our lives.

John and Doris were amazing to work with!! They were not only helpful before the wedding but the day of the wedding as well! They went out of their way to capture all the pictures that we wanted and then many, many more!!! They even went to both the bride and groom house before the ceremony to capture those "before" moments of us getting ready! We received our proofs in 3 weeks time and couldn't believe all of the wonderful moments they captured for us! The hardest part was narrowing down the pictures for our album! We couldn't be happier with out photo albums as well as the albums they made for our parents! They even threw in some special surprises for us!! Would definitely recommend to family and friends! We even plan on using Costello for photos of our Little One arriving this Spring!!!

From the moment we met with John and Doris we couldn't wait for them to shoot our wedding! They are fantastic people and amazing photographers. They have great packages and offer a lot more than any other photographers in the area. The whole process from start to finish was so pleasant. They were so fun to work with the day of the wedding, and we had a huge bridal party! Our photos were amazing!! We couldn't have asked for a better experience! I would highly recommend them!

John Costello and team are simply amazing. He made our wedding day run smoothly and efficiently. The minute he arrived on our wedding day he had a plan and executed it flawlessly. I did not have to worry about gathering people for photos, he took care of it all. He is very experienced photographer and it shows through his work. He is a true professional.

John and Doris could not have captured our special day any better. All the pictures came out so beautiful. They were very personable to our guests and were a pleasure to work with. The were able to catch certain moments that added a lot to our story without us even knowing they caught them. Our album is something that we will cherish forever and it was above and beyond what we could have dreamed of!

John and His ream do an amazing job. I have worked personally with John for many years and his work is outstanding, yet always changing with the times. His work is excellent and all of the brides I have spoken to about him, have nothing but great things to say. We are looking forward to working with John even more in the future.
