    Anniversary Photo Shoot

    John and Bernie are an amazing team! There was an uninvited guest at my wedding in October 2022, Hurricane Ian. Unfortunately, the beautiful bayside sunset pictures my wife and I had planned were no longer able to be done (along with other pictures around the waterfront venue). We decided to book a bridal session with John for one year later (at a fantastic price!), fingers crossed the weather would hold this time, which it did! John and Bernie made the trip back out to our venue for the sunset pictures we were unable to capture last year. Since we didn't have a schedule to adhere to, we were able to take a variety of pictures on the water, on the beach, on the dock, and even on a boat. They made the experience wonderful, and we felt like we were right back in the middle of our celebration, but celebrating in private. The pictures turned out amazing and we cannot wait to finally see our wedding album put together by John. Thank you John!

    Excellent photoshoot experience

    We recently completed our engagement photoshoot with John; he was prompt and professional. John had some very helpful posing tips and his friendly demeanor helped to put us at ease. The turnaround time for receiving our photos was amazingly fast! My fiancé and I are looking forward to working with John and his team again for our wedding. We highly recommend John Soule Photography.

    Great to work with, budget friendly

    John was super easy to work with and very accommodating to our schedule. Our engagement photos turned out beautiful and they make me even more excited to see our wedding photos. His prices are also very reasonable.

    Exceptional Work

    If I could give 10 stars I would, John Soule Photography is exceptional in every way! The responsiveness to emails and calls, the professionalism from John Soule and his team of photographers but especially the quality of their work. I can't say enough good things about this company. John and Berni were fun to work with, they gave pointers on how to capture the best poses, the engagement pictures all turned out great. Looking forward to working with them again at the wedding.

    Best Experience with an Incredible Team

    John has been amazing from the beginning when I reached out to him months before our engagement shoot. He has continued to be very responsive and spent time to put together a list of top venues to take pictures in, as well as provided me with information about the area I was proposing. Both John and Berni made the actual photo shoot an amazing experience and took the time to make sure my fiancée and I were comfortable and informed of the different poses we could choose from. The photos were incredible and I cannot emphasize enough how impressed I am with the quality of the pictures and with how fast they were provided. I 100% recommend this team!

    Great Experience

    We had a great experience with John and his team! They were easy to work with and made us comfortable throughout the entire experience. We got our pictures back very quickly and are very happy with them! By far the best pricing in the area as well!

    Easy to work with and three photographers who each attend to specific parts of the wedding

    John Soule was easy to work with and made changes to accommodate preferences. There were three photographers who were part of this process and each had their specific focus on the wedding. I don't know anyone else who does that.

    Perfect Team!

    We had the pleasure of working with John Soule and team for our wedding day and everything went absolutely wonderful! We chose to use both photography and videography services and had a full team of 3 photographers and 2 videographers for our day which we know were able to capture every moment and every angle possible. John even came to our rehearsal day to help scope out some possible photos for our wedding day and gave us some pointers on how to pose, dip, and overall what to expect. The wedding day itself went so smoothly, they arrived while we were getting ready in the morning to get some get ready shots. In the meantime, they were also taking close up shots of our rings, dress, and details so it didn't add any extra time. Dawn rode in the limo with us to the church to get some silly pics/videos of just the bridal party. We also had a first touch/first look before the ceremony. The ceremony went perfectly and Dawn rode again with just the bride and groom to get some shots in the limo, which we can't wait to see! At our reception, we got some more pics, and even one big group shot from a ladder which in turn got everyone on the dance floor. We had such a wonderful experience with this team and I would highly recommend them to anyone who wants exceptional service for their special day. We already received a couple of sneak peeks of our wedding which look absolutely stunning! We were in great hands with John Soule and team and were so lucky to have found them on WeddingWire.

    Great to Work With

    John and his team were great to work with. During the initial intro conversation John walked us through the full process and answered all our questions. We liked that an engagement shoot was included in the package as it allowed us to get some experience ahead of the wedding day. The team was enjoyable to work with on the day off and accommodated our requested shots and when we were ready to move on from the posed photos. Throughout the entire process, John was very responsive at answering my questions via email. I would highly recommend working with them.

    Awesome Photographers!

    John and his team did a fantastic job with our wedding photos! We were so excited when he sent us a sneak peak less than 12 hours after the wedding. We chose the package with the included Engagement Photos (which we ended up doing with John and one of his staff on my birthday!) and it was one of the best birthdays I ever had. John also gave amazing advice leading up to the wedding, including helping us adjust our timeline several times. At the wedding itself, things were a little hectic at first because the photographers with the bridal party beforehand were late, which made things feel a bit rushed for a while. However, we our location was in the mountains and didn't always get great cell service. John's team quickly made up for lost time, and took absolutely gorgeous photos. I was also very grateful when I reached out to John recently, after a significant delay on our part (we've gotten pretty bad at checking our joint email once our wedding ended!), to finally get our wedding album. Even though it had been almost a year since the wedding, he was more than happy to work with me and quickly put it in the works. He even sent it via Priority Mail, and it arrived just a few days after I contacted him, with plenty of time for me to surprise my husband with it for our Anniversary the other day. We couldn't be happier with it. I would highly recommend John and his team; our photos were outstanding, and really capture the emotion of each moment. Every time we look at them, it puts us right back at our wedding. Thank you, John!

    John and his team were amazing to work with! Spot on with timing and the photos we wanted! Friendly and professional! Great to work with on a busy day! If I have a need for a professional photographer in the future, this is the team I’d rely on!

    A pleasure of work with

    John Soule and his team are amazing! So professional and made us feel comfortable! I was super nervous for our engagement session but they made it go by like a breeze! I couldn't believe how beautiful the pictures came out. He worked with our schedules and communicated quickly to our emails! I can't wait for our big day in 2 weeks and getting the chance to work with them again!! Thank you John for making our experience so wonderful!

    Fabulous photographer!

    Our experience with John and Bernie was nothing short of amazing! We've only had our engagement session done, but we 100% know, without a doubt, that he will deliver the best photographs at our megamony next year. He is very easy to work with, and is very knowledgeable and experienced in his field. He came prepared with a list of excellent poses for us, and his ideas and editing were breathtaking. The second best part, is he will fit well within the budget. We are getting 3 photographers for the price of 2! We are very pleased with our engagement photos and look forward to working with him and his staff at our megamony.

    Update 04Oct2022: Our wedding weekend has come and gone, and as we expected, John's team delivered! The weather was not what we were hoping for, unfortunately a hurricane came up the coast and sent lots of wind and rain our way in Annapolis, MD. However, John's team was very accommodating with all the last minute changes we had to do since outside pictures were no longer an option. Even when I forgot to mention to John a change in plan of where the groom would be to start, he was able to quickly get everything back on track. His team also made sure to get all the shots on the list I sent over before the wedding, even though I anticipated not having time for everything. They even threw in a lot of suggestions that are going to turn out amazing and I cannot wait to get the full package. We even forgot about one thing, and if it hadn't been on our list, we would have missed it. Thank you John, Bernie, and Dawn for an amazing night and capturing each moment!

    Captured great moments!

    When we were planning our wedding, John was one of the first photographers we contacted. He was incredibly accommodating to our planning schedule and he kept us updated with how the day was going to go. When the day arrived, John and his crew were able to capture amazing moments during our wedding. Our cocktail hour photos were also fun and easy to get through. Upon receiving the photos a couple of weeks later, we were glad to see the fruits of their labor! I can't recommend him enough to anyone looking to find a photographer!

    Excellent Experience and Knowledgeable

    We did a lot of research on different photographers and landed on John Soule photography. As someone who is not a picture taker, I was hesitant heading into my engagement shoot. With that said, the shoot went incredibly smooth. John was clearly knowledgeable and an expert in the field of photography. He made me and my fiancé fully comfortable during the engagement session. And most importantly, the photos turned out amazingly well. We can't wait to use them to help design our save the dates!

    Photos were amazing and Johns team was incredibly professional

    We hired John Soule for our wedding in Annapolis and absolutely loved working with him. The quality of the wedding photos was unmatched and we were so happy to see them. Looking over them brings us back to that special day. I could not recommend John enough. His photos are amazing, his prices are incredibly reasonable and working with him was fantastic. He was meticulous in his details and the edits were great. We are over the moon with his work

    Great time; highly recommend

    John and his assistant were fantastic! My fiance and I had just moved back to Baltimore area and were looking to get engagement photos in the city. He gave great instructions for how to pose and took overall beautiful photos. We left feeling like we had fun and learned something about how to pose better for photos, which we are sure will be helpful for our actual wedding. John was also able to flexibly work around a few "hiccups" that were out of all of our control, e.g., none of us knew that there would be a marathon happening the morning of our photos, haha! But he was able to help figure it out nonetheless and we are very, very pleased with the photo results. We are super excited to share them with family for the holidays. We would definitely recommend him to others for engagements, weddings, etc! Also very reasonably priced; we are getting married in Florida so he unfortunately won't be a part of our wedding, but was a fantastic option for engagement photos.

    Engagement photos

    My fiancé and I couldn’t be more happy with John and his team! They were very honest, very easy to work with and just overall fun! My fiancé and I haven’t gotten out photos personally done in YEARS. John and his team member, Bernie, were so patient with us and were wonderful in helping us out in poses. They are just amazing! And the pictures…. BREATHTAKING! I cannot wait to see what this team does for our wedding in March!

    Wonderful Engagement Shoot

    My fiancé and I have chosen John for our wedding photographer. Part of the package included an engagement session. John and Berni (his assistant) were so easy to work with. They were friendly and made us feel so relaxed. We love the photographs that wee taken and cannot wait to see what our wedding photographs will be like when we get married in January.
