John's photography work (both the shooters & editing) is definitely among the best in the region. We interviewed probably a dozen or more photographers, and we're extremely happy with the photos we received back from him. We have very, very high standards for wedding photos and we were nervous we wouldn't be able to hit that with our wedding budget. Thankfully John and his team delivered and even went above and beyond in working and planning with us to capture some truly incredible memories. Don't skimp out on the photos! -

Absolutely amazing!
Where do I begin? When I started looking for a photographer I had an idea of what I was looking for, but when I saw John's photos I instantly knew that I had to have him as my wedding photographer! From the first video call that we had with John, my fiancé and I were certain we chose the right person. He was so laid back, and listened to what we wanted to capture in our photos. If we had a question he was quick to respond in detail. The day of my wedding it rained all morning and John helped us to take the most amazing pictures. Everyone at the wedding loved his attitude, and personality. He made everyone feel so comfortable in front of the camera.
The B&W booth was the best decision we made. If you are on the fence about adding it, it is totally worth it! We have some of the best pictures of our friends and family from the B&W booth. The wedding pictures took a bit to get, but it was absolutely worth the wait, and John will tell you up front how long he thinks it will take.
If you are looking for someone who can provide absolutely stunning pictures and has an amazing personality and easy going vibe. You found your photographer in John.

John and his team were a delight to work with and well worth the investment. We first met John when he was the photographer for a friend's wedding and were impressed with the quality of his work. We hired him for our wedding and did not regret our decision for a second.
Prior to the wedding, John worked with us to devise a schedule that fit our rather unique needs. He even went to the reception venue itself to meet with the staff and view the space for himself as well as scope out the neighborhood to determine good locations for outdoor photos.
On the day of the wedding, John and his team were punctual and professional. Throughout the day, we felt relaxed and were able to be ourselves. At no point did we feel like we had to stop what we were doing to pose for a shot. The B&W set at the reception was a hit! -

Photos to last a lifetime
Choosing a wedding photographer is a decision not to be taken lightly; after all, these photos will serve as timeless mementos of your special day for years to come. For my wedding and additional photo session, I had the pleasure of working with John Barone and his team, and I can confidently say that their talent and professionalism exceeded all expectations. I started with John on additional photoshoot. He was able to understand my vision. He was not available for my wedding, but explained to me his team was more than qualified. With the great experience from the photoshoot, I was reassured, and we built a bond of trust.
From our initial consultation to the final delivery of our photos, John and his team demonstrated a level of dedication and expertise that truly set his company apart. They took the time to understand our vision for the day, asking thoughtful questions and offering valuable insights that helped to shape the timeline all with an excellent result.
On the day of the wedding, Stuart was a joy to work with. He and his assistant managed to capture every important moment seamlessly. On the morning of the wedding, they came in with a plan and executed it. Their ability to blend into the background while still capturing the essence of the day was truly remarkable.
One of the things that impressed me most about John and his team was their attention to detail. It is clear they approached their work with a meticulous eye for perfection. Each phot a beautiful snapshot of a moment frozen in time. In addition to their technical skill, their friendly demeanor and genuine passion for their craft made the entire experience enjoyable and stress-free.
In the end, the photos that John Barone Photography captured exceeded all our expectations. They managed to perfectly encapsulate the love, joy, and emotion of our wedding day in a way that words simply cannot express. I am forever grateful to all the Barone team for their incredible work and would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone in search of a talented and professional wedding photographer.

10 years ago, John was a photographer for a wedding I attended. I ran up to the black and white photo station and with very little instruction I did a “C-Jump”. After seeing the photo and having that experience, I knew I needed him as my photographer for my own wedding. John was great at keeping everyone on schedule and had great poses for everyone. Everyone loved the black and white photo station during the reception. We have so many gorgeous photos to look back on! -

John's talent is nothing short of amazing. He doesn't just capture moments; he preserves them, turning instances into everlasting memories.
What sets John apart is his unwavering dedication to excellence. He doesn't settle for mediocrity; instead, he consistently goes above and beyond to ensure that each photograph is a masterpiece in its own right. Whether it's adjusting lighting, framing the perfect shot, or guiding his subjects with patience and professionalism, John's commitment to his craft shines through in every aspect of his work.
John has an exceptional ability to connect with his clients. From the moment we met him, he made us feel at ease. He took the time to understand our vision, listening attentively to our ideas and preferences. Throughout our planning, he was honest and transparent and provided better ideas then we thought of ourselves.
Moreover, John's flexibility and willingness to accommodate our requests were truly remarkable.
The results speak for themselves – our photos are nothing short of spectacular! My husband and I are beyond thrilled with the outcome, and we wholeheartedly recommend John to anyone seeking an unparalleled photography experience. Trust me; you won't be disappointed!
Lastly, the black and white photo booth was a huge hit and everyone loved how the photos came out.

Do yourself a favor and book with John!!! My husband and I could not be happier that we chose John to photograph our wedding after initially talking to several photographers. From day one John was upfront and transparent about his end to end process: day of expectations, timelines, editing techniques, his style, etc. Leading up to our wedding John was extremely easy and quick to communicate with, always sending reminders and answering any questions/concerns almost immediately and at length to ensure we had a clear understanding. He is so down to earth, organized, and very reachable :)
On our wedding day John expertly captured the intimacy, love, playfulness, and raw emotion of the day. He had a clear plan of action, especially with group shots and creatively worked with the sunlight to incorporate beautiful natural lighting in our photos. It is impossible to even choose favorites! John’s professionalism and industry experience clearly shone through on our day. He made everyone feel comfortable and helped make the day so lighthearted and fun. For each part of the day he explained his thought process, what he was going to capture, and the timing. He kept the photos moving without rushing it and showed us some quick preview shots on his camera throughout the day. There was no sense of awkward camera shyness as John cooly puts you at ease. He will do anything to get ‘the shot’. We truly did not have to worry about anything photo-wise. John’s crew is also wonderful to work with! Zero stress/worries at all.
John’s editing is timeless and classic - we know these photos will be just as beautiful 30 years down the road. He is not someone who slaps a filter or trendy editing on pictures. It is clear he is a seasoned vet and absolute rockstar. The guests also loved the black and white photo set he provides with his package. I cannot recommend John enough - get on his schedule ASAP as he fills up fast and you will not be disappointed!!!!

Amazing photos!
I had an amazing experience working with John and his team. John has taken wedding photos for family friends and we knew we had to work with him as well. He is very communicative and absolutely views his job through an artist lens. The photos he took were incredible with amazing quality and natural look. We are so happy we worked with John. Highly recommend! -

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! -

Best Photographer in Philadelphia
Look no further, John Barone is the best photographer in the Philadelphia area. He comes with decades of experience and a wildly creative lens that results in beautiful, timeless images. He has a way of taking an ordinary scene and capturing it in a way that results in true artistry. His story telling approach had us reliving each moment from the wedding day, bringing back the emotions. His work is BREATHTAKING! Seeing his magic, talent, and hours of hard work come to life was incredible.
John is professional, resourceful, and organized. He is also such a blast to be with! We could not have had more fun during our portraits laughing and hanging out with him. John and Stuart captured the essence of the energy throughout the day perfectly. We’re beyond thankful for all this team has done throughout this process. We couldn’t have gotten luckier to find John Barone Photography. -
