We were absolutely blown away by John Barone's incredible talent as our engagement photographer, and we’re thrilled that he’ll also be capturing our wedding day! From the very start, John distinguished himself during the photographer hiring process. He graciously took an hour out of his day to answer every question we had, patiently addressing our concerns and making us feel completely at ease. Even before we made our final decision, he took additional calls, going above and beyond to ensure we were confident in our choice.

The photos from our engagement shoot are beyond anything we could have imagined—truly better than the Pinterest inspirations we brought to him! Just wow—words can’t describe how truly amazing our pictures are. John’s willingness to walk around Philadelphia with us, taking pictures in multiple locations, made the experience even more special. His insightful suggestions and clear directions ensured that every shot was perfect. His relaxed, easygoing approach made the entire experience not only effortless but incredibly fun, and he has a remarkable ability to make you feel comfortable in front of the camera, allowing your true personalities to shine through.

John is beyond incredible at his job—the amount of care and attention to detail he puts into his work is impeccable. The editing was nothing short of flawless, capturing each moment with stunning clarity and emotion. We are beyond pleased with the results and are eagerly counting down the days until our wedding, knowing we’re in the best hands. Run, don’t walk, to hire John as your photographer—you won’t regret it!

Thank you so much, John! We can’t wait for you to work your magic on our big day.

From the start, we knew John was the right fit for us. Not only did he put us at ease with his chill, no pressure, no frills personality, but he really helped us get a handle on the outline for our whole day.

As a previous wedding planner myself, I still relied heavily on his experience and advice to come up with a sensible timeline for my unique wedding day situation (which he was spot on mapping out to the minute).
On the Day of, we were BLESSED to have his trusted accomplice, Stuart, taking all the shots! With the most gentle demeanor you could imagine, I don’t think this awkward unphotogenic bride could have been as comfortable as I was with Stuart. He was a real hero for me and was so unimposing throughout the day, blending seamlessly with the guests, going with the flow, just doing his thing.
We were blown (FAR) away by the final outcome of our pics… the caliber of this photography is another level. It’s truly unbelievable how both John and Stuart’s talents really came together - from the execution of one to the editing of another - we feel so lucky we even got a chance to work with these incredible and genuine dudes!

John is absolutely the best!!! We had such a fantastic experience having him as our photographer both for our engagement and wedding photos. John is so nice and accommodating in scheduling and timing, and it was genuinely so fun working with him. We had a couple shots in mind going in for both, but mostly let John work with what his vision was, and we could not have been happier how the pictures turned out. John really has an extraordinary ability to roll with the punches; despite an entire plan for our pictures being nixed because of poor weather, he immediately had a number of backup plans that were still better than anything we could have predicted. The black and white photo station was also such a hit at the wedding, and so many of our guests had a great time with it and told us so!
