Costello Photography was a pleasure to work with during the planning as well as the day of our wedding. We picked up our pictures today and they are absolutely beautiful. Their work is exceptional and they were so easy to work with! We highly recommend Costello Photography!

Costello Photography was absolutely amazing! We could not have been more pleased. I have sent all of my friends to Cotello. We just received our album and I am over the moon happy! I can't stop looking at it. From the first meeting with John and Doris, I knew that we'd get along. They are so personable, flexible, and truly listened to what Mike and I wanted from our photographer at our wedding. We had a lot of elements to our wedding and Costello truly captured every moment and every emotion. We are much more into candid shots and they definitely got the shots we wanted. We wanted to enjoy our special day and not be pulled away for pictures. John and Doris were very good at "blending in". My mom didn't even notice that they were taking shots of the ceremony from every angle and thought they didn't get anything...when in fact, they got it all on camera! Amazing! Any bride that asks about photographers...send them to Costello, they will be so happy they went with them!

We cannot say enough about John and Doris. They are the perfect combinaton of everything that a couple is looking for on their wedding day....true professionalism, reliability, flexibility, creativeness, and most important FUN! The best part is that you get all of the above and more for an extremely reasonable price. They were able to capture the entire day's events without being at all obtrusive. Mother Nature was less than kind to us on our wedding day. However, you would never have known it by looking at our pictures. We couldn't be happier with the job that Costello Photography did. We would recommend them to every couple that is looking for the BEST photographer for their special day. Thank you John and Doris!!!

I highly recommend Costello Photography. John and Doris were a pleasure to work with; they made posing for pictures fun instead of tedious. All the pictures came out natural and beautiful. When looking for a photographer for any occasion I urge you to at least look at Costello's work on their website it truly speaks for itself...you will not be disappointed!

Costello Photography was amazing. You could actually speak to them when you called - they were flexible about times and locations - we did our pictures at an arboretum about a half hour from the reception and they took wonderful pictures and even got us back in time for our cocktail hour! Also, they interrupted their own dinners to take special request group shots that we asked of them during the reception. Afterwards they were friendly, easy to deal with and gave us a great deal on our pictures.

Highly Highly Highly recommend for future events!

So glad we decided on Costello Photography to photograph our wedding. John and Doris were very professional and so helpful through the whole planning process. When we picked up our proofs we were extremely happy with them. It was so hard choosing the pictures for our wedding album, considering we loved them all. We couldn't be more happy with our coffee table album and love showing it off. We highly recommend Costello Photography!

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 and Doris are great photographers! They were so flexible with working around our schedules to meet to discuss our contract. They were very familiar with our other vendors and worked well with everyone the day of the wedding. The bridal party and families loved working with them also! John and Doris really made the process of taking pictures light-hearted and fun. They also were able to capture some of the best candid moments of our wedding! They did such a great job, next time we see them we'll give them the 'big squeeze'.

John and Doris were an absolute pleasure to work with. We felt like we were working with people who we've known our whole lives! They brought a sense of home to our entire experience. The day of the wedding, they were extremely calming, helpful, professional, caring, and best of all, lots of fun! Our photos came out beautiful. They were able to capture moments of pure joy, happy tears, bigs hugs and sweet kisses, and sheer comedy! We are trying to think of times in the near future where we could use their services again.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

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.
