John Barone Photography

We can’t recommend John Barone Photography enough! From the very first meeting, John stood out. He spent a full hour with us, patiently answering every question, and kept in touch with quick, helpful guidance throughout our planning. Just a few days before our wedding on 5.25.2025, he even reached out on his own to review our schedule — that kind of thoughtfulness gave us so much peace of mind.

On our wedding day, John and his second shooter, Denida, were absolutely incredible. They kept everything running smoothly, handled a last-minute big family photo with zero stress, and brought such a calm, positive energy to the day. They even worked magic with the kids in our wedding party — jumping, making funny noises, whatever it took to get those perfect smiles.

And the photos…wow. John’s style is stunning. Every shot is vibrant, crisp, and full of life, yet nothing feels staged. The portraits are elegant and cinematic, and the candid moments are pure emotion. He somehow captures the real moments without you even noticing he’s there. Watching our wedding video, we realized John had sprinted across the dance floor to capture the final dip of our first dance — we hadn’t even noticed! He’s a total ninja, and the results speak for themselves.

Another thing that makes John truly special: he edits every single photo himself, without AI or third-party editors. While the final gallery might take a little longer to be completed, the time and attention he puts into each image is obvious — every photo is perfectly polished, full of detail, and shows his love for what he does.

One of our favorite touches was the black & white set he created for our guests. It was thoughtful, stylish, and our friends and family are still raving about it.

We are completely in love with our wedding photos and can’t imagine booking anyone else for future events. John isn’t just a photographer — he’s an organized professional, a true artist, and someone who genuinely cares about the couples he works with. If you want gorgeous photos, a stress-free day, and someone who goes above and beyond in every way, book John Barone Photography — you won’t regret it!

We truly cannot say enough amazing things about our photographer, John! From the very beginning, he made the entire experience feel effortless and so special. Planning photos at the beach can be a little unpredictable, but they handled everything with such calm professionalism, and genuine enthusiasm.
On the day of our shoot, John and his team went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and natural in front of the camera. Neither of us are used to being photographed, but they gave just the right amount of direction while still allowing us to be ourselves—and it shows in Every. Single. Photo.

The final images completely blew us away! They captured not just how everything looked, but how it felt—the light, the emotion, the intimacy of the moment, all of it!! Looking through our gallery instantly takes us back to that day, and that’s something we’ll treasure forever.

If you’re considering booking them, DO IT! You won’t just get beautiful photos—you’ll get an experience that feels personal, meaningful, and truly unforgettable :)

My wife and I got married at Camp Lindenmere on September 13, 2025 and after our first conversation with John we knew he was right photographer to capture our special day. He came recommended by our venue and we knew after speaking with him that his familiarity with the camp would be invaluable to take the stress out of our biggest day.
He was so easy to communicate with and provided such valuable insight for how we wanted to structure the day. Leading up to the wedding he helped us with our scheduling and on the day of he was an absolute rock star. My wife and I felt so at ease never felt rushed nor like we were missing anything. And that's not to say anything about our photos, which came out absolutely stunning and perfect, and quick too! The last thing I'll say is if you can do the black and white photos during your reception go for it! They are beautiful and some of our favorite shots. We can't recommend John enough!

We could not have been happier with John and his team at Barone Photography. They made the whole process seamless from start to finish, and we are so pleased with our photos. Communication was always clear, concise, and we feel he really heard us and executed based on our preferences.

There are so many things to consider when planning a wedding and budget. We are happy we chose Barone Photography, and would do so again! Thank you John and team!!

If your priority is to have the most amazing photos for your wedding (like mine was) then John is your guy. He was so communicative throughout, kept us on schedule (which was no easy task with my group), had unbelievable vision for all our pictures and to no surprise provided images better than I could have ever hoped for. The photo booth was also amazing as people got to get professional photos which is not a common occurrence for most. Thank you for everything John! 10/10 absolutely recommend!!

My husband and I looked over an obscene amount of photographers before we thankfully stumbled upon John Barone on The Knot. At the time, we were living in Philadelphia and planning our wedding for where we would be relocating to, just outside of Scranton.

John shot our engagement photos in Philadelphia, and he did an incredible job. His personality immediately puts us at ease. This was huge for us because we are not the type of people who are naturals in front of the camera. What could have felt awkward didn’t, and that made the entire experience and the photos so much better.

By no surprise, John himself was booked on our wedding day, but two members of his team, Denida and Michael, were there to shoot our wedding. Denida was absolutely hilarious while still being very professional, and Michael fit right in with the guys. They both made the day feel easy and comfortable, which is exactly what we needed on our wedding day.

The editing did take time, but the saying really does hold true, good things come with time. My husband and I were completely blown away by how incredible our photos turned out. Every detail, and every moment was captured beautifully.

If you want photographers who are not only kind and genuine, but also creative and have an incredible eye for detail, look no further. John Barone and his team are truly the best.

Absolutely blown away by our experience with John. From the very first conversation to getting our photos back, everything was seamless, professional, and honestly better than we could have imagined. John made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera, captured every emotion so naturally, and somehow documented all the big moments and the quiet, in-between ones we didn’t even realize were happening. The photos are timeless, emotional, and full of life—we’ll treasure them forever. Beyond his incredible talent, John was organized, calm, and such a grounding presence on a hectic day. Most importantly, we truly gained a friend through this process. We can’t wait for all of life’s next big moments so we can hire him again. If you’re looking for someone who genuinely cares and knows how to tell a story through photos, stop looking—we cannot recommend John highly enough.

I cannot say enough good things about working with John Barone and his 2nd photographer Stef. The booking process was beyond smooth (make sure you snag him super early!! John books up fast - and for good reason) John made sure to set up a video call with us before we even signed a contract to make sure we aligned on the direction we were looking for. On the day of our wedding, both John and Stef showed up early and got straight to work. They both kept us on schedule but making sure to include all shots that we had asked for. John would show me previews right off of his camera - even before the editing, the shots were turning out incredible. We really enjoyed their vibes throughout the whole day and night - so funny and down to earth, while remaining professional and getting the job done quick and efficiently. All of our guests had nothing but kind words to say about these two. We also had the black and white portrait booth which was AMAZING. Again, nothing but great feedback about this. If we had to re-do this day, we would continue to choose John & Stef over and over and over again. His work is gorgeous and truly invaluable. We owe them our gratitude forever - they really captured our day in the most beautiful way. Thank you guys!!!!

John was one of the first vendors that we booked for our wedding since photography was incredibly important to us. We knew we needed to get it right. The pictures came out stunningly beautiful and perfectly captured all of the emotions of the day. Aside from this, John's professionalism throughout the planning process was nothing short of incredible. He was easily our most responsive vendor- answering every question we had quickly and being available for multiple phone calls to put our minds at ease! I would book him again in a heartbeat.

Super professional team. They had our needs and ideas in mind. They made my wife and me feel super comfortable. They guided us through the wedding event. Between John Barone Photography and our wedding coordinator, I felt like they helped make our lives simple and got us where we needed to be for each event. They were quick and efficient as well with taking photos. Making it very interactive and making us do fun exercises to loosen us up and make us laugh. We love our photos and look at them often. The black and white photo booth was really awesome for the guests as well. John and Stuart tied our wedding together and made it seamless.
