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.I cannot say enough good things about John and his photography.

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.John was an amazing photographer!

I Can't Stop Looking at Them!
We are really happy with the relationship John built with us throughout our wedding planning. From the beginning he was transparent about his services and kept in touch throughout the year leading up to the day. He even sent us advice and tips on how to enjoy our day which meant a lot. The day-of he was very professional and I felt at ease because I could tell he was capturing all the important moments. But that is an under statement because he captured way more than I could have imagined. Every single shot is beautiful. There are even some artistic shots that we love. The turn around time for the pictures was also quick. Thank you for giving us memories that we will cherish forever!We are really happy with the relationship John built with us throughout our wedding planning.

You won't be sorry
John is one of the most talent photographers I know. He truly captures the moment to make it a memory you will never forget. John’s professionalism is top notch and he's super laid back and easy to work with. He laid out an itinerary for us and we were able to adjust for more or less time if we wanted, he helped make the day go perfect and stay on schedule. He has an eye like no other and I would recommend him to anyone and everyone. Everyone who has seen our photos are just in awe. John, keep doing what you are doing!

Stunning photos, highly professional
We loved John! My wife and I chose him because his photos captured that spark of emotion that makes anything worth remembering. Instead of just capturing history, John Foley captures memories.
John was with us very early in our planning. He was a joy to work with and his transparency and flexibility meant that we had less to worry about. In the very beginning, we outlined a schedule which John gave us feedback on, and we modified it to allow for extra time during Details & Getting Ready, as well as Bride & Groom Portraits. We HIGHLY recommend slating enough time with John throughout your wedding day for Bride & Groom Portraits. The day goes by in a blur, but we're so happy that we took the time away from all our guests to do some shots with just the two of us.
John was friendly, punctual, and professional. We received our edited photos much quicker than anticipated (~5-6 weeks), considering we had a 2-day wedding. Our family and friends loved going through the photo gallery, and many have expressed wanting to book him for family photos and future weddings. We can't recommend him enough!We loved John!

The perfect photographer for the perfect day!
John was great! He captured our wedding day so perfectly and made us feel so calm and at ease throughout the process. The photos were absolutely wonderful and he was able to capture the genuine love my husband and I felt for each other. We also used John to do our wedding highlight real, and I can't recommend it enough! It was the perfect length and something we will watch for years to come. It makes the entire evening digestible and really captures the most important parts of our day. We loved working with John!John was great!

The best wedding photographer
There aren’t enough words to express how happy we are with John’s work and service! To begin, he was willing to answer any of my questions before booking. He was flexible with the schedule leading up to the wedding and was willing to help create a timeline which was SO helpful! Communication was also prompt before, during and after our wedding. With John, you just don’t get great customer services you also get AMAZING pictures! We are so happy with his work, we definitely recommend him for any special event!There aren’t enough words to express how happy we are with John’s work and service!

Wedding Photography and Videography
We found John by searching on The Knot website and then after reading his reviews and seeing his pictures we knew we had to meet with him to hear more details. I’m so happy we booked John as our photographer! He was very responsive to emails and very helpful with planning our day of timeline. John did a great job staying calm and on time the day of and helped tell us what to do and when to get the best shots. We have seen some sneak peeks and a slideshow so far and we are already so impressed and happy with his work!We found John by searching on The Knot website and then after reading his reviews and seeing his pictures we knew we had to meet with him to hear more details.

Amazing photographer!
My husband and I hired John back in July of 2020 for our May 2022 wedding! John was amazing since the beginning! He did our engagement pictures as well as our wedding! Every photo he took felt like the viewer was with us while the photo was being taken.

Amazing photographer
John was recommended to us through mutual friends and we liked the idea of hiring someone who we sort of knew. After reviewing his website and social media pages we were sold. John was very responsive, friendly and helpful right from the start. Our engagement session experience was great. John has a cool and calm demeanor that definitely helped us feel comfortable. The photos he took are so beautiful and we love them. Based on our engagement experience we hired John for our destination wedding in Mexico as well. Once again, our experience was great. John is very much a professional but to us, it felt like our friend was taking our photos. He captured so many amazing images and moments of our wedding day, we were in awe when we saw them. The highlight video he created definitely brought tears to our eyes. John has a great passion for his work which comes through in his photos. We would recommend him to anyone looking for engagement, wedding or family photos.John was recommended to us through mutual friends and we liked the idea of hiring someone who we sort of knew.

Amazing photographer!!
John is truly an amazing photographer and artist. I cannot say enough great things about him and his work. He captured our day perfectly! He has an extraordinary attention to detail and made every moment look so beautiful. Our portraits look better than I could have expected; they look like something out of a magazine. He has a true gift of being able to capture people in the moment. The photos of us and our guests at the reception are incredible! He didn't miss a thing! I am so grateful John was able to photograph our wedding day; he was the best investment we made. Thank you so much, John!John is truly an amazing photographer and artist.

Absolutely sensational and extraordinary work
John was ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL. By far our TOP vendor for the entire night!!! From the moment he arrived in the bridal suite at 9:30am he was on his A-game. He’s not just someone with camera; he is a true ARTIST behind a camera lens who knows when to capture the perfect moment and how to make the photo look like something out of a magazine (go check out his Facebook and Instagram and see for yourself). He was so patient with my family and I and bridal party taking all the pictures. And he was so creative!!! He said “Michelle, I have really cool idea for a photo in an elevator, can we do it?” That’s artist’s ability to look at a scene and find a way to make it an incredible picture. Not only did John do amazing that whole day, but he sent me photos THAT VERY NEXT DAY; a sneak preview of what’s to come! Then just about 1 week ago, he created the most beautiful wedding video so we could relive the most magically day of our lives through his photos. I cannot go on and on enough. Book John NOW, because I know he will be booking up fast!!! You will be so thrilled and beyond happy with your experience. John, thank you FOR EVERYTHING!John was ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL.

Fantastic experience with amazing results!
John was a recommendation to us from a mutual friend while we were searching for a wedding photographer. After looking through his portfolio we knew he would be a great fit for our wedding, so we made the decision to hire him. It was one of the best decisions we made! He was personable, professional, and extremely efficient. Our wedding photos were delivered in a timely manner, and the results were incredible. Words cannot describe the level of satisfaction and joy his work brought us! We would undoubtedly hire him again given the chance and could not recommend him enough. Great work, great outcome, and great person.John was a recommendation to us from a mutual friend while we were searching for a wedding photographer.

John is amazing!
We are tremendously impressed by John as our photographer. 10/10! John is amazing to work with. His pictures are well above and beyond what you will get from a typical photographer in terms of quality. His work also especially stands out when it comes to artistry and creativity. John was extremely helpful and communicative with us prior to the wedding day. On the day of the wedding, he had a super cool vibe that everyone enjoyed. John’s presence really added to our day, and he was so helpful in making our day run smoothly. We received several compliments during our wedding from guests saying “your photographer is so great!” We really appreciated how John used his imagination to capture super cool and unique photos of us in Chicago. John clearly loves what he does and can be totally trusted to work his magic. We are blown away by the sneak peek photos we have seen so far! Our friends and family are amazed by them too- their jaws literally dropped! These are the kind of photos that you are very proud to put on your wall. We are so excited to see the rest. Now that our wedding day is sadly over, it’s comforting to know that we have so many amazing images of our special day to enjoy, not only for our lifetime but also for generations to come! We’re so glad we chose John as our photographer- it was one of our best decisions.We are tremendously impressed by John as our photographer. 10/10! John is amazing to work with.

High Artist
John was absolutely amazing! Throughout the entire process start to finish he delivered well beyond our expectations. These are moments we will treasure forever and now we have them forever in his art. To call him a (or an amazing) photographer is simply not enough he is an artist who truly cares about his passion and clients.John was absolutely amazing!
