    John did such an amazing job! I cannot thank him enough for the time and effort that he put into making our day everything it could be. Our flower girls were very young and the ability that he had to get them to look and smile at the camera was like none I had ever seen. A quick storm rolled in and cut some of the pictures short but you would NEVER know based on what we got. When the sun came out John made sure to pull us away quickly for a few fun shots. He captured things that I couldn't even remember. Our wedding was on Saturday and by Monday he had a sneak peek ready and posted. The amount of photos released in that sneak peak was more than I could ever imagine. I would HIGHLY recommend anyone to work with Secoges Photographics in any capacity that you may need!

    John’s eye for detail and passion for photography made our day truly special. He was able to capture every moment of the day, from getting ready to the last dance. His energetic personality and ability to make everyone laugh made for great photos. His turnaround time for the preview was 2 days after the wedding. It was a nice surprise to wake up to on our honeymoon. Thank you John (and Kenny) for everything you did for us, the memories will last us a lifetime!

    If I could give John 6 stars I would. My husband and I were married at stokesay in Reading, PA. We could not have been happier. It was a gloomy day and John made the best of it, our pictures turned out phenomenal. We also have had so many compliments from guests, friends, and co-workers about how fantastic our wedding photos were. Best part we had a sneak peak preview within days and all of our photos were delivered to us in just over a week. john is an all around amazing person with great talent. Very friendly, professional, and easy to work with.

    There are honestly no words to explain just how INCREDIBLE John was as our photographer for our wedding. Talk about a man with vision, his photographs were nothing short of stunning. I recalled reading a review which referred to him as a ninja, and I have to say, it was spot on. There were SO many photographs which I had no idea were being taken! He completed a sneak peak by the day after the wedding and had an online private album published will over 740 final proofs just two days after our wedding which is unheard of!!!! His talent is exceptional, the photographs surpassed anything I have ever seen before. His humor throughout the entire day allowed for natural smiles and candid photos from all of our guests and kept us laughing and smiling all day long. He worked harder than any other vendor at our wedding and has a talent for manipulating architecture and nature in order to create stunning photos. We hired a videographer only weeks before the wedding and he worked seamlessly with them as well! I could not be happier that we chose John for our wedding photographer. I would recommend him to HIGHLY to anyone looking for a photographer for any occasion.

    John is an extremely pleasant person to work with, his photography is outstanding, He's open to any suggestions and is definitely prepared in familiarizing himself in advance with your selected locations for photos. (He's like a Ninja photographer, LOL!! he's everywhere and you don't even realize it until you view the proofs than wonder, "how did he get that photo, I didn't even see him there") He definitely won't miss any special moments.

    Working with John as our wedding photographer was fantastic! While planning the wedding, John was flexible and responded to emails and phone calls almost immediately. He had great ideas for different shots and helped orchestrate all of the photos I requested for the day - I gave him a list of what I would like shot and he did it all! We received countless compliments from our wedding guests saying how nice John was, and how quickly he accomplished all of the family shots after the ceremony, effectively ushering wedding guests around just to get my photography needs met. I would absolutely recommend booking John as your wedding photographer!

    John was absolutely amazing. He was extremely fun to work with and professional -- His attitude helped set such a great atmosphere leading up to our wedding and actually helped us with the pre-wedding nerves. Even though it was 95 and humid, our whole bridal party had such a fun time taking pictures with him. He has such a great eye to get the perfect shots -- All of our pictures turned out absolutely AMAZING. They are breathtaking. We had a sneak peak back within 3 days of our wedding and were blown away.

    If you are looking for a wedding photographer, use John and Secoges Photographics -- You will not be disappointed!!

    Thanks so much for everything John!

    John is easy to work with and gets shots that you didn't even know you wanted. He works really well with children and makes an effort to get to know the families and bridal party. He is always cheerful when he's seen, but he's often invisible and he's never in any way intrusive or disruptive. The pictures are amazing. We love them.

    John was extremely responsive, professional, and fun to work with throughout the entire planning process and our wedding day. The photos are gorgeous. John is truly a professional and has an eye for great shots, no matter the location. Even our wedding guests commented on his energy and passion. We have been to other weddings where the photographer was intrusive or looked as though they were just doing their job, but this was absolutely not the case with John. He brought positivity to every shot, and was excellent working with all our family members, from age 8 months to 91 years. We would highly recommend Secoges Photographics.

    John was the most professional photographer I have ever worked with. He has a knack for listening to his customers and just helping out on the little things. He helped me pack my getaway bag for the hotel. I mean this man was helping me look for my shoes and cloths and when he found them he dropped them in my bag. He became part of our family, everyone loved him and his energy and passion for life and photography showed in his work and his interaction with everyone. I WOULD SCREAM ON TOP OF THE WORLD AND SAY USE HIM USE HIM USE HIM!!!! HE IS THE BEST OF THE BEST!

    You must absolutely hire John for your wedding. I absolutely LOVED my pictures. He is extremely professional but also very personable and made the day fun. I had no specific ideas for pictures, but he got all the perfect shots. And he got them all quickly so we could spend time with our friends and family. You didn't even know he was there but he got all the perfect shots throughout the night. He got our pictures back to us super quick and I still keep looking over them again and again because they look FANTASTIC! Highly recommended!

    John was absolutely wonderful to work with. The quality of his work is outstanding, as is the turn around time for proofs, thank you cards, and prints. He got all of the photos we wanted, and they were all gorgeous. He really captured that "something special" that makes you go "wow" when you look at photos.

    John was excellent! We knew as soon as we met that we were booking Secoges to do our Wedding! John did our engagement photo's which we used for our save the date's, our wedding favors, and displayed at our Wedding, I loved them all and we even had them taken on a day that was 40 degrees and pouring all day, John worked with us and got some of my most favorite photos! He was very open to all of my ideas for photo's and made them all come to life! He walked me though every step of the process which was a great comfort to me because I am a worrier! I was totally confident that he would capture my most important moments, which he did, over and over again. He was there from beginning to end on my Wedding day and actually helped me feel more comfortable in front of the camera. Anything I asked he made happen.

    We also used Secoges photo-booth and that was a huge hit with our guests! If you are on the fence about having one, GO FOR IT! You will not regret it, our guests had so much fun with it, and we got all of the digital photo's! A very fun and professional extra wonderful service that Secoges can provide!

    I could not have asked for a better photographer for the most important events in my left. Thank you for everything John I will absolutely recommend Secoges Photographics to every Bride and future Bride I know and will be returning for any of my future photography needs :)

    John was the last of three photographers that we met with and after we met him we knew he was the right photographer for our engagement and wedding pictures. We didn't want to miss a lot of our party (reception), but still wanted some great shots of the two of us. John did just that and then some! We even got to see a sneak peek before we left for our honeymoon! I would highly recommend him to any couple, family, or company looking for a creative, classic, and professional photographer.

    Photography is one of the most important investments you can make for your wedding day. John of Secoges Photographics captured us as a couple, our friends, families and the details of the event beautifully. John was easy to work with before, during and after our wedding. Most importantly, he made the day stress free, while capturing all of the shots we wanted plus more! We are so appreciative to have beautiful and timeless photos to last a lifetime thanks to John and his artful work.

    We also used Secoges Photographics for our photo booth! All of our guests LOVED this addition to the party (we did too!).

    John was an amazing addition to our list of wedding vendors. Not only was he kind and helpful during many phone calls before the wedding but his professionalism and attitude the day of the wedding did not go unnoticed.

    I've been to many weddings where it is very obvious there is a photographer on site and seen them actually hold up the wedding party mid ceremony to get a good picture. Not John! Besides posing us for formal shots after the wedding you'd never know he was there.

    I was married on Saturday and John stayed at the reception until about 9:30pm. Within 48 hours of our wedding we received our "sneak peak" at some of the photos from the day then 72 hours after our wedding we received an email containing ALL 700+ photos. The photos were gorgeous and our venue even highlighted John's photography on their Facebook page the next day.

    We cannot say enough about Secoges Photographics. John was amazing at helping us work around our budget, and helped us set up a payment plan more suitable for us. You can tell by talking to him that he LOVES his career and is not greedy or cold like some of the other photographers we had spoken to. He captured our wedding day perfectly, and you did not even know he was there! He was so unobtrusive. I have seen some really tacky photographers at weddings, and he remained in the background while taking absolutely amazing shots. He made us a photo collage/video that was in our email the very next day, and our pictures were ready in 1 week, as well as thumb drive of all of the photos and a DVD of our day. I recommend him without hesitation to EVERYONE! Very professional and very friendly guy.

    My wife and I agree that John has a gift. With an album of hundreds of photos, there is not a single photo that I do not adore. With a wedding on a Saturday, my photos were ready within 3 days, not a week or more like other photographers. With 90% of the photos he took, I didn't even realize he was there. With his photos he was able to capture magnificent color, clarity, shadows, and angles that I am certain I would not have achieved with any other photographer. I have a baby due in July and already plan on booking him for his first photos.

    I choseJohn Secoges for his style of photography. After my very first meeting with him, i knew he would be our photographer. He clearly knew what he was doing. He was professional, organized, and super friendly. When you have good vendors, you will be able to really relax and enjoy your
    special day. When it comes to wedding vendors, you really get what you pay for. I've heard some horror stories. John Secoges is the best value in Berks County in my opinion.

    I couldn’t be happier with my choice of John Secoges as my photographer for my wedding day. He was professional and was a pleasure to work with. My wedding photos were so beautiful and unique that they were even featured in a bridal magazine! I’m so thankful he captured all of the priceless moments of my big day. I would recommend Secoges Photographics for any occasion!

    John made our wedding day a DREAM Come True. He was there to make sure everything went smoothly and to capture every moment beginning to end. John is not only an amazing photographer but he also has a great personality. Our whole wedding party fell in love with him and truly appreciated his professionalism. I have used John for my senior photos and since them recommend him to everyone I know. I plan to use join for all my future functions and family photos.

    My husband is a professional photographer so it was extremely important for us to have someone who could deliver and John and his assistant did that and MORE. The video album was sent to us within a few days and it was a beautiful "peek" at what was to come. I must say that the photos are excellent. He covered both the rehersal dinner AND the ceremony beautifully. Everyone has commented on how nice the wedding photos look, well done and THANK YOU JOHN!
