John Barone Photography

John is a true professional with an artist's eye. My fiance and I were nervous about interviewing photographers but John made us comfortable from the Zoom call to the actual shoots. His recommendations were great and the photos were out of this world. Couldn't recommend more.

This past weekend my fiancé and I had the wonderful opportunity to work with John for our engagement shoot. I could not imagine a better way to kick off our wedding festivities! I have had the pleasure of being a bridesmaid in a few weddings his team had previously shot and when it came to choosing our photographer I knew it had to be him! After this weekend I am certain I made the right choice. My fiancé and I were a nervous wreck the weeks ahead planning our outfits and feeling insecure about how we would looked. John eased every nerve and made us feel so comfortable in the process. We no longer worried about our insecurities and truly got to enjoy the day and each other. John became our biggest cheerleader and pushed us out of our comfort zone (ie: climbing barefoot on ice cold rocks, standing on the roof of our car just right so we didn’t cave in and pleading with a group of cheerleaders to give us two minutes for the perfect drone shot) John did it all with a smile on his face and a mission to capture all the best details. My advice to any bride will be pick your date, find your venue and call John Barone Photography you will not be disappointed!

My fiancé and I got engaged during the height of pandemic so meeting with wedding vendors in person wasn’t really any option. We started out by reading reviews and then looking at portfolios. The moment we looked at John’s work we could tell it was different. After talking with him, learning more about his background, and what he offered (and how unique some of it was…hello black&white session) we knew he was the one - without even meeting him in person.

Fast forward a couple months to our engagement shoot, and we were very nervous going into it. We’re not picture people and John made us feel comfortable immediately. The whole shoot was a blast and it gave us a great chance to get to know John before the big day. Most importantly the pictures are amazing. We don’t look posed, it doesn’t look forced, it just looks like us! As a result, on more than one occasion people have told us they’re the best engagement photos they’ve ever seen or that they typically don’t like engagement pictures and they love ours.

If you have the opportunity to work with John, do it! We’re so pleased with our engagement pictures and can’t wait to see what he’ll do at the wedding.
