About

On WeddingWire since 2022

Hi! I'm John, a wedding photographer & filmmaker from Chicago, IL. Documenting weddings and creating unique images is not just my passion; it’s my life's work.

I believe deeply that great wedding photography is about creating imagery that is as visually compelling, as it is emotionally significant. Weaving the images together to tell unforgettable stories. My distinct 'documentary meets fine-art' style is a product of my unrelenting commitment to this craft and the complete trust my couples place in me.

I primarily document weddings in the Chicago area, but I'm up for the adventure of traveling to any destination in the world. I am also one of the few wedding photographers that offers hybrid coverage.

I've been told that I'm the calm amidst the chaos. It's not uncommon for my couples to not only boast about their wedding images, but about how I calmed their nerves when things got tough.

My approach isn’t for everybody, but for those that feel it is, I hope to talk to you soon.

John Foley Photography for the WIN!

I cannot say enough good things about John and his photography. I see other photos/photographers and while they’re great, they’re just not John Foley great. Book him. Stop reading these reviews, do yourself a favor, and book him. (Seriously, he’s a hot commodity and has a ton of awards for good reason!) I look at our pictures all of the time and he did an incredible job. I feel like I’m reliving the day when I look at them. I am so impressed with his work. You can tell this is more than a career for him, it’s truly his passion (which is the exact type of person you want documenting your day). He gets the shot and he gets it GOOD. If you’re still reading this review stop wasting time and book him NOW. It’ll be the best thing you do for your day :-). @John THANK YOU!!! Ever since the wedding I’ve had family, friends, coworkers, acquaintances compliment your work. You truly are the BEST.

Hire this man!

One of the best decisions we made for our wedding!!! We hired John about a month and a half prior to our intimate wedding ceremony. Thankfully he was able to accommodate us! His knowledge and attention to detail was beyond what we expected. From the different areas on our venue to including different depths, angles, and lighting - he was amazing! Touching base on sunset, he was a pro at knowing what time sunset hour and how much time we needed to shoot. He asked us what our vision was and after seeing his portfolio, we told him to let his imagination run wild. He did not disappoint. We literally want to print every single photo! He was so personable throughout the process as well, he made it easy in the midst of chaos. Thank you!!!!

John is your man!

John was an amazing photographer! He was always communicating with us before and during the wedding. He was always available to talk which for a nervous bride helped a lot. During the wedding, he was very professional. He made sure we got the shots we wanted but respected our parents when they asked for extra shots. He came up with shots we never thought of that turned out to be our favorites! Hire John for all your special functions! I know we will be reaching out again to him.
