John & 617 Weddings!

some! John is so quick to get back to any email/inquiry/question and he has such a great personality, very funny, warm and kind! He really made us feel so comfortable as if we had known him for years. It was really nice having someone by our side that we trusted and enjoyed. We had John take our Engagement Photos and we loved them so much!! We had the best sunset and weather and he really captured the beauty in the pictures. We just got our wedding photos back and WOW, he did it again!! The pictures are So beautiful - so many pictures came as a surprise as I didn't even realize he was snapping pictures! He blended in a room full of people without a notice - so charismatic and a true professional! If you're still indecisive on a wedding photographer just trust me and go with John from 617 Weddings! He's truly the best in the biz! Thanks John, 617 Weddings and Briar Barn Inn for making our wedding day dreams come to life!!

picking packages based on our budget and dealing with all the changes due to COVID, during the wedding, and after the wedding. This year has been especially hard on everyone and John helped make our day perfect! John guided us through the day to capture the most stunning photos! Our crew was a bit difficult to deal with as everyone likes to have a lot of fun. John was able to collect and direct our goofy crew like it was nothing. I am so thankful that we had the chance to work with John and have a stress-free day while he captured the best day of our lives. Thank you!

going to be great as our wedding photographer! He is very personable and easy to work with and made the process so much easier - he even did a great job during our engagement photos with helping to relieve the initial awkwardness of professional pictures and made us feel comfortable and we were laughing and having a great time. Although our pandemic wedding was stressful, John was great through it all and answered any questions or concerns that we may have had very quickly and captured some great shots from our special day at the Red Barn at Outlook Farm in South Berwick, Maine! Since John had been to our venue previously, he knew just the right spots to take pictures and get great lighting - we even were able to take pictures outside despite it raining on our wedding day and they came out great! He also practiced the appropriate social distancing guidelines and wore a mask at all times to make us as well as our guests feel safe. I would highly recommend John as a photographer if you are looking for someone who is professional, responsive, really easy to work with and produces great quality pictures that you will cherish for a lifetime!

best right away. He was confident in each shot and did not waste any time. He was specific with his directions, which put us at ease. He edited our photos quickly and we loved them all. The formals, the candids, the colors, the background, and ahhh the lighting! We were so happy and get tons of compliments on our photos still! Flash forward to 3 years later, we had John photograph our maternity shoot! There is no one else we would have chosen! Again, John was creative with the location and setting. He was so comfortable to be around - like seeing an old friend! Not to mention he even let me reschedule due to a sunburn!! The photos came out gorgeous and we will cherish them always. We look forward to having John photograph our family in the future!

r right away but the best part is they are so thorough that you probably won't have many questions to ask! Also, their online planning portal is so efficient. Jimmie and John work so well as a team and as individuals. Our guests could not stop talking about how good the music selection at our wedding was all thanks to Jimmie. Everyone was dancing (even the wallflowers)! John did our engagement session and we had the retouched images back within a week. They were beautiful! His presence is so comforting that you don't feel awkward about being photographed. At the wedding, he captured every little detail and we got our pictures back, again, within a week. That turnaround time for photographers is almost unheard of. He is just the greatest. Love the pictures and love these people. Pick them, you won't regret it! They make the experience all about you. They do everything they can to ensure you are happy and having a great time which is just so genuine. They are truly seasoned professionals. We just can't say enough. Thank you, both! Our wedding was just perfect and you both were a huge part of that. Lastly, our reception was at Avenir in Walpole, MA. This is one of the Saphire Event Group venues and our experience with them was also an absolute dream.

n for 7 hours and documented getting ready, first look, ceremony, cocktail hour and reception. Only two days after our wedding he sent the most stunning preview photos, we cannot wait to see the rest! Thank you John!

ety. I was afraid I wouldn’t look good in any of the pictures. John calmed my nerves within seconds and I LOVED the pictures. Then the day of my wedding, the woman who altered my dress forgot a pretty major alteration and I was so upset about it and it made me feel insecure. John also helped calm me down, told me not to worry. The pictures came out stunning, everyone loved them! Both of our families and our bridal party loved John, all said he was incredible. He got our pictures back to us within days!! I just can’t say enough about John. I know when it’s time for us to have kids, I will 100000000% be calling John to take our family photos. If you want a photographer that cares, loves what he does, makes everyone feel good, takes insanely incredible photos, is so funny, that you can trust and beyond easy to get along with, John is your guy.

s unbelievable. On the day or he was on time, professional, and when it came to the big moments he was there for everything, which I only realized after the photos came back (online gallery less than a week and flash drive mailed shortly after) because he blended in so well. He listened to our wishes and made everything happen like we had envisioned. Highly highly recommend John and 617 weddings photography to capture your big day. Thank you for everything John! Love Tom and Jenn

e pictures by the sunset were unreal! He was able to capture the evening and leave us with beautiful memories of the biggest day of our lives. At no point was he seen intruding a private moment or a goofy dance group and yet, we have some very fun shots of the wedding party. We could not have asked for more. We would HIGHLY recommend John to any couple we know!!

and great candid pictures. We now have pictures that will last us a lifetime. Highly recommend John and 617 wedding photography!

tured every key moment of our wedding day so beautifully and took so many unique, thoughtful photos. He also turned around the photos in record time after the wedding! We are so grateful to have worked w/ Bharat 😊

e awkward). He was also so understanding that we wanted to include our dog in some of the photos. Our engagement photos were amazing! Little did we know, that was only the beginning. John on our wedding day, at Renaissance Golf Club, was again so relaxed and calm and talked me through the whole day and what to expect. He even kept me laughing when there were some difficulties buttoning my dress. During our first look, it was like John wasn't even there (in all the best ways) and it was such a special moment that we will treasure forever with some amazing photos. John was again so patient with our family and friends during photos and even managed to wrangle 7 nieces and nephews into pictures and have them corporate. We had a great time laughing with John after the ceremony getting some gorgeous sunset photos. He was also so flexible when I would ask him to take any and all group photos during the reception. I could go on and on about all the great things about John! Of note, he had our photos posted 5 days after our wedding, which is just above and beyond!

photo ops, he even spotted a rainbow in the sky and put us in the best position for it to be captured. TRULY AMAZING!!!! You won’t be disappointed.

approached for any concerns and we love our pictures! Would definitely recommend them for anyone's wedding!

us as to the best places/times to get the best photos on our wedding day. Some photographers want to take a lot of staged photos during the reception and that was not the case within John. At times we didn’t even know he was there snapping pictures and yet he managed to capture all of the most intimate and special moments of our day! We had a few sample photos within a few days and we received our USB with all of our photos within two weeks of the wedding! The photos he took are just absolutely stunning!!! Do yourselves a favor and contact him. You won’t regret it!!

rfect picture of my grandmother & me but I realized we did not mention to John that we wanted one of the three of us together. I emailed & asked John if he could make me one. I had that very special picture within a few days & it looked perfect, just what I wanted. We were amazed at how quick he was with getting the photos to us, retouched & all. He was very prompt at answering my emails & helped to make our experience stress & worry free. We have a lifetime of memories thanks to John's beautiful photos. Prices are very reasonable. I would definitely recommend 617 Weddings, John LoConte for Photography.

can get back to enjoying your big day. John was sure to take all the photos we had requested and then suggested some others that turned out to be some of our favorites from the day. Our families and wedding party also enjoyed working with him and commented on how smoothly the whole process went. We also ended up with some wonderful and hilarious photos of our guests dancing! We were able to see our photos on his website less than two weeks after our wedding and then had the USB with all the photos on it after arriving home from our honeymoon. You definitely will not regret hiring John LoConte for your wedding.

ot. And the price was so reasonable and fit our budget. 617 and John did amazing. If we have any special events that we need photographed in Boston anytime in the future, we will be contacting John. Thank you!

ew from the start we would get awesome photos from John, and he exceeded my expectations. We loved all of our wedding photos. There's too many good ones and that's not a bad thing :) I have also received many compliments from guests who have viewed our gallery online. I would recommend John to anyone. It was also great that we got to stay within our budget but at the same time had one of the best photographers I've seen be part of our wedding team. Very happy with the whole experience.

nable. John was always available to talk with whatever questions we had and made us feel like we were lifelong friends. I can't even begin to describe how much I love our photos and wedding album, they came out absolutely outstanding! I would recommend John in a heartbeat to anyone looking for amazing photos, reasonable price, and friendly, reliable service. I plan on calling John for all of our next life events for him to capture them and just to hang out! I wish I could give more than 5 stars!

Outlook Farm. He chose some awesome backdrops for our photos and truly captured the moments. He has a great sense of humor that helped us bypass the awkwardness of posing for the camera, allowing us to relax and be our true selves. We are thrilled with the quality and timeliness of our engagement and wedding photos. John was a pleasure to work with and an extremely gifted photographer and would highly recommend his services!

s for sure. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 star rated. Highly recommend 617 Photography / John LoConte

is kind and made everyone feel comfortable, his photos are classic and artistic. Turn around time was incredible, so quick. Highly recommend! Thank you John!

suggestions for photos. We did a first-look and every time I see those pictures I just go right back to seeing my groom for the first time and I tear up all over again. Booking was easy. Making payments was easy. I never felt like we weren’t one the same page. I would definitely recommend John and 617 Weddings!

kes you feel comfortable right from the start. His photography skills are superb and we are so happy with his work!! The quality is amazing and he delivers fast results. We had some of our wedding photos the day after our wedding! The rest were ready less than a week later. I highly recommend choosing John as your wedding photographer. You will not be disappointed!!

John made us feel so comfortable and really caught us in the moment rather than feeling posed or set up! We had a very large wedding party (11 on each side.. yikes) and John was so good at getting the rowdy group all coordinated and managed for group photos which I cannot imagine is easy to do! On top of John’s fun personality and beautiful work.. he had our photos ready for us in under a week!!!! If we got to do the whole day all over again there is no doubt I would choose John LoConte and 617 weddings!

o booth, and that added to the experience as well. Dane was spot on with music, and really, people danced ALL night to the very end. I've had guests comment as to how great the music and DJ were. Dane helped to create an awesome party for our guests, play great music, and made our day super memorable. We are so glad we went with 617 Weddings! You will NOT be disappointed! Thank you DANE!

ding pictures about a week after our wedding; talk about fast turn around! We are in awe at all the moments he captured without us even noticing! Thanks John!

had an email from Bharat on Monday 9/24 with a link to all of our beautiful pictures. And when we returned from our honeymoon a week later, we had a thumb drive with all of our pictures waiting in the mail. It took me a few days to view all the pics, and I loved them all. He and his assistant captured every moment that we asked for and more -- they are true artists!! Our pictures are amazing.

uy! There was some spontaneous fireworks at the reception and before we knew it he had all this extra camera equipment out and had us outside posing in front of them! We took photos in the public gardens, John knew exactly where to go for the best folliage and lighting! My family wanted some extra formal photos taken once we got to the hall and John was up there in a second able to capture pictures of my big, italian family! Truly cannot wait to see all of John’s pictures! He was a dream to work with! Highly recommend John!

ourparty lol ...... I seriously can’t express in any other way how amazing OUR photos are ! Thank you so much ! Looking for amazing work John and the rest of 617 weddings won’t disappoint you!

otos to OUR big day, we fell in love with the work. When we got our pictures from the BIG DAY, we was stunned. So many great pictures that it was extremely hard to pick a favorite. I can't say anything else but " If you are looking for incredible, jaw dropping pictures " please don't hesitate to reach out to John LoConte. I can assure you that you will not be dissapointed. Thanks again and we will definitely be in touch.

!! Thank- you, Bharat and your assistant at 617weddings !

amazing photos of our Greek Orthodox Church ceremony, he was quick and efficient with formal family photos, and we still had plenty of time for fun pictures with our bridal party at our venue, Tewksbury Country Club. After seeing the photos of our friends and family dancing, I realized I never even noticed John taking photos of us at that point- he never got in the way of the party, but got some really great shots! We were anxious to see our photos and were pleasantly surprised when we got an email while on our honeymoon that the photos were ready to be viewed on the website. We were so happy with how our photos turned out and we are thankful we have such great memories captured by an amazing photographer.

s! Even before our wedding day he eased my fears of a rainy day and how we would handle that. He has a game plan for anything that may come up! He is an all around fun, caring and thoughtful guy to work with! Thanks again for capturing our perfect day at the Blue Ocean Inc salisbury! I hope to work with him again in the future!!

or a photographer. He is incredible and we know you’ll love him.

t have thought of. John was always extremely available to us- he answered our questions quickly and always made us feel like we were in great hands!! Overall, I couldn't have imagined our wedding photography experience going any more perfect! We were "VIPs" of 617 Weddings with a package including DJ, Video, Photo, and uplights.

t beautiful and best of all, they were ready in a week!

ny people Just to book him for our day without even meeting him prior. We got both sets of pictures within a day or two. BOOK HIM !!!!!

it was just to meet. We then went back and forth via email before the big day to ensure everything was organized and good to go. The day could not have gone any better. Bharat and Jeff have a way of keeping you calm while making sure everything says on time. I had a massive bridal party and they were able to get everyone organized and get all requested photos done in a timely manner. We did a first look so we could enjoy cocktail hour. It was perfectly executed. Our photos were ready in just a few days to view online. There are so many incredible pictures there’s no way I can chose a favorite. I recommend Bharat and Jeff to anyone looking for amazing pictures done by some professional and kind men.

le which made it so great to work with!! Highly recommend him!!

y members who are professional photographers or take pictures as a hobby. Every single one of them has told me that Bharat's photographs are the best wedding photographs they have ever seen. He managed to not only capture the most beautiful and precious moments of our day but also with the perfect lighting/angles/backgrounds. Since our wedding, I have received numerous Facebook comments, texts, and emails uniquely expressing the perfection of the photographs as well as inquiring into our photographer so that THEY could hire Bharat for their special events as well. Beyond his extraordinary skills as a photographer, his personality, service, and presence made our wedding day incredibly fun, stress free, accommodating, and personable. Bharat strikes this unique balance of being kind, humorous, and lighthearted, but also respectfully unobtrusive and inconspicuous, which are key qualities to a wedding photographer, as he is with you at all moments during your special day. Whenever I wanted to speak with him, he communicated effectively and efficiently. When the mood changed to more playful, he laughed with me and my family/friends as we made jokes during photographs. However, with his expertise and talent, Bharat remained so respectfully "hidden" that I tended to forget he was following me and capturing all our perfect and candid moments on our wedding day. His demeanor is soft, gentle, and considerate, and he works with a brilliant efficiency that is so gifted and allows him to yield the incredible results of the most magnificent wedding photographs that will last a lifetime. Bharat Parmar is the best wedding photographer there is. DO NOT WAIT - HIRE HIM NOW if you want photographs that perfectly capture the best day of your life!

a glitch somewhere and my emails weren’t getting sent. As soon as they would send, John replied promptly. John was so flexible in the planning process and during photo opportunities. Our engagement session was at a park and a bowling alley and John didn’t mind doing both. He also thought of some creative perspectives for the photos. Our wedding went off without any hiccups. Our bridal party felt so comfortable with John. Our photos came out amazing! The way John plays with lighting and demensions makes his photos stand out. We just received our album and the quality is top notch. I would highly recommend John for his artistry , flexibility, and easy-going nature.

s came out gorgeous can not wait to see the album!! We also had Russell from 617 Weddings as our videographer. Russell and Roland could not make a better team. I was thrilled to have them both be a part of our day.

no other, choose Bharat!

ms arose and John was unable to commit to photographing our wedding (about 5 days before the wedding!). He was extremely prompt and apologetic and couldn't be more upset with himself that he was unable to fulfill his commitment (we completely understood and did not blame him in the slightest for not being able to fulfill the job!). John made sure to replace himself with one of the other 617 wedding photographers - Amy Baione . Now, no ill-wishes to John, but Amy was INCREDIBLE. And in the end, I'm so so happy she ended up our photographer. She's fun, energetic, and clearly loves what she does. She would get so excited about some of the shots - which in turn made up very excited. She was absolutely phenomenal. We've only seen some sneak peaks of the photos - but everything I've seen has been AMAZING. I work with photographers all the time as part of my job - and Amy ranks among the best, if not THE best. She was an absolute pleasure to work with and I'm so happy we chose 617 weddings to be our photographer.

was also the company we had used for our DJ. After a short meeting I knew John was going to be the perfect photographer for us. So kind, calming, and sincere and affordable compared to many of his competitors! John did an amazing job on both our engagement and wedding photos. He captured so many beautiful moments and we received so many compliments from our family and friends on the proofs. John did a great job of blending into the day, in fact I hardly ever remember seeing him during the ceremony; none of that in your face flash stuff. I can't say enough good things about John, book him now!!!!

photography and was able to capture every special moment that meant the world to us!! Choosing John was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! He's amazing!!

ond shooter! He’s literally everywhere all the time! He’s amazing and came up with great ideas for shots and helped keep me calm! I can’t say enough kind things about John and the entire 617 team!

e wedding day, and missing out on the cocktail hour and reception with friends, but John put my worries to rest. We were able to get most of our photos done before the wedding and we were only pulled out for short periods of time during the reception, while we got AMAZING shots at night in the rain. John really committed to the entire night.. he seamlessly moved in and around the dance floor with all of our friends and really captured the amazing sparkler last dance outside in the rain at the end of the night. To top it all off John had finished editing our photos within ONE week after the wedding. Can't say enough great things about John, I highly recommend him.

e the choice to have him as our photographer. We got all our photos back very quickly and there were plenty to choose from! We were supposed to have a meeting prior to the wedding going over the photos we wanted, but that meeting never happened. We did feel rushed taking our pictures because we did not do a first look. Our photos were taken during the cocktail hour. We did not get all the photos we wanted because we were a bit rushed to then bustle my dress but I feel there was plenty of waiting time that we could have spent more time taking pictures. Also we missed out on some pictures at the end that we wanted, I think because we didn't have that meeting before the wedding he may have been more prepared (we spent extra to have him there the whole time specifically to get the photos at the end which he missed). We also filled out a questionnaire stating we wanted to take some pictures outside at night but we never got to take those photos either.

ole wedding day which was such a relieve! We decided to go through 617 Weddings for our DJ, photographer & videographer which I highlight recommend doing! They all knew each other's styles so well so it was so easy to work with all of them together and we got some really great pictures because of it! John knew exactly when he would get a great group shot based on Jimmie (our DJs) style! John is really talented and captured our day with so many different style pictures to choose from! I highly recommend him & 617 weddings!

re to work with. Not only was John extremely professional, he had and my husband, along with the bridal party and family all laughing. His sense of humor and lightheartedness helped make what can be a stressful anxiety filled time the exact opposite. He made us all feel so comfortable -- including our dog, sometimes we forgot he was even there. On our one week anniversary while we were still on our honeymoon we received our digital images from John. Upon arriving home, the very next day our flash drive was already waiting for us! Such a great way to come back from our honeymoon, we had so much fun looking at all the amazing pictures and reliving the entire day. We cannot thank you enough for capturing amazing images that we will cherish for a life time. We highly recommend hiring John and 617 Photography, you won't regret it.

last June where we also brought our dog. I was a little apprehensive bringing our dog to our engagement session but John treated him like he was his own dog and we got some really amazing shots with our dog because of John. Next was the wedding, I think I could only tell John was at the wedding maybe once, he was never in the way, even guests had mentioned how great it was that the photographer never got in the way of anything and he wasn't hounding people. They told me it was so refreshing to see that at a wedding. We received our pictures literally a week after, all of them. They came out better than I expected. You always are nervous you didn't capture something or you're not going to like them. I can honestly say, that we are in love with every single picture. Every single picture John captured, you could see how much fun people were having and how happy me and my husband and everyone else was that day. Not only is John an amazing photographer but he is the sweetest person as well, so it was super easy to work with him. John we can't thank you enough! I hope we can work with you some day in the future!

was an honor to have you there to capture our day. From our engagement session to wedding photos, we are over the moon. Also thank you to Jenni for jumping on last minute to be our second shooter! We could not recommend 617 Weddings enough- you will not be disappointed. Thank you for everything John and Jenni!

re able to get a good amount of shots in 30-40 minutes for our first look. SO happy with the quality for the price. He even stayed 10-15 min overtime for us because there was a few more photos we wanted to capture. He is seriously the best!!!

ee them, this was entirely helpful! Our reception was at the Beauport Hotel on the water, and the photos on the beach were better than we could’ve hoped for. I had to upgrade to a larger album because there were too many photos to choose. We highly recommend John for your special day!! You will not be disappointed.

o easy to work with. We were a little bit nontraditional and chose to not have a wedding party. He was so great to get lots of pictures with our friends which was very important to us since we didn't have the usual set up. He captured amazing moments from our wedding at the Ipswich Country Club and I am so grateful to have these photos forever. The day and night go by so fast and there's nothing more valuable than knowing you have someone you can trust to capture the moments when you are so busy. He also got the most amazing pictures around the grounds of the country club, they are absolutely stunning! I couldn't recommend John more! 617 weddings has always been a group of wedding professionals that my friends and I love for all the amazing talents they offer! Thank you to John and 617 weddings for helping make our wedding day the best day!

our posed photographs were done before the wedding - which meant we could enjoy the entire cocktail hour & visit with the guests. The photographs turned out great & he had a very quick turn around time. Always so fun to see the teasers the next day! I would highly recommend 617 & specifically John to anyone!

tially picked our wedding day at Ipswich Country Club based on his availability….guys, he’s THAT good! I’ve known him for a while as I’ve worked with him on a professional level but more importantly I knew I wanted him there as a friend. John isn’t just an amazing photographer but an amazing friend and somebody I knew I would enjoy spending a good portion of our wedding day with. You’ve got to gel with your photographer and the way he makes you so comfortable in front of a camera is truly incredible. He was so efficient when it came to taking our family portraits and wedding party photos during cocktail hour that we still had SO MUCH TIME to take other fun shots of just the groom and I! It really is outstanding how he takes so many pictures throughout the night and you don’t even notice them being taken. His artistic eye is unmatched in the industry and we got our photos back so quickly! We were still on our honeymoon when that glorious email came in saying they were ready and what fun we had looking through them all, seeing the day playback through pictures and every single one was beautiful! John, thank you, for your amazing skill, your incredible professionalism, and also your kindness when it came to making suggestions and answering our questions. You truly are one of a kind and we are so glad we were able to share our day with you and that you were able to document our day so beautifully! We can’t thank you enough for all that you do, and can’t wait to have another opportunity to work with you again soon!

comfortable the entire time, and his pictures are unbelievable. We had a second shooter, Amy, and can't recommend this enough. She was my cheerleader throughout the day and captured so many little details of the day. John's style keeps everything moving, never standing still or posing for too long. It's a great experience for the entire bridal party! The amount and quality of the pictures is incredible, a beautiful blend of formal shots, silly candid shots, and beautiful artistic details. Our pictures were back within a WEEK! We got to view our amazing wedding pictures while relaxing on the beach during our honeymoon. We used 617 for photo, video and DJ and can't recommend them enough!

rst visited the 617 offices, we saw the snow picture that John had taken a few years ago and my heart was set on getting a snow picture. John was able to capture (with a little help from Mother Nature!) the most beautiful picture of Eric and I in the snow that completely embodied our entire magical wedding day. We will have these images to treasure for the years to come. More importantly, John is such a charismatic and fun guy to be around – he truly loves what he does and it shows in the photos he takes. On the business side of things, he was so easy to communicate with, extremely responsive and professional. Moreover, his turnaround time is awesome! He sent us the link to view our proofs about a week and a half after our wedding - talk about fast! We can’t wait to receive the canvas print! Thank you so much for everything John!

ediately. John did the work of two photographers for sure! He got every shot and never missed beat. I am so happy with all of my pictures and to have John part of our big day!! He was so much fun to work with and his photos are the best around!! The turn around time for my proofs was unbelievably quick! I would give him 5+ stars if I could! Highly recommend!!! 617 Weddings is THE BEST!

and we knew he would take good care of us. He worked with us to pick the package that was right for us and was FLEXIBLE - he knew it was our day and he just wanted to help us get what we wanted out of it. As far as the day of - I can't say enough about him. He is such a calming presence on what is a very busy day and is extremely easy going. He went with the flow of our day and just went to work! He did an amazing job of handling our time and working with our coordinator and Cruiseport Gloucester to ensure we got the shots we needed running on a very tight timeline! Throughout the evening I barely even noticed him (meant as a good thing!!). He was not intrusive at all, yet when we got our pictures back he captured EVERY MOMENT PERFECTLY. Lastly, his turn around cannot be beat! We had preview photos the next day, and then all of our re-touched images a week later! This was during the busy holiday season as well, but he stuck to his word and gave us the best Christmas present we could've asked for! I can't say enough, or give enough praise, for John LoConte.

, and always responds promptly. Second, he is an expert photographer. He creates beautiful photos using light, color, and perspective. For our engagement session and our wedding photos we trusted him to tell us where to go and how to pose; he has such extensive knowledge and talent. He is also very efficient which was much appreciated on our wedding day with multiple people outside in colder weather. He is flexible and was willing to incorporate poses or pictures we wanted. He also takes really great candid photos which was a great addition to our wedding albums. I hope we get a chance to work with him again in the future!

sure to work with. His photography portfolio, which is on display at the main office, was great. He definitely has a keen eye for his craft and knows how to get the right photo, regardless of the situation. We did not need the engagement shoot, and he offered to roll that time over into extra coverage during the wedding. We were so grateful for that because we wanted shots of us getting ready beforehand, and my wife and I were in two separate cities. In terms of his visibility during the ceremony and the reception, the man is over six feet tall, but must have some sort of invisibility cloak. We hardly noticed him except for the planned shots. He had us write down a list of family/friend shots that we wanted ahead of time, and we were able to take the majority of them prior to guests arriving. The rest he was able to knock out during the first 15-20 minutes of the cocktail hour. We were so ecstatic about that because it gave us time to mingle with our guests, which meant that we were both able to actually sit down to have dinner since we saw everybody by the time dinner was served to us. In terms of working with the videographer, Franco Valverde, also of 617 Weddings, they worked seamlessly together. We have not received the video yet (just a statement, not a gripe by any means), but when looking through the photos that John touched up for us, 383 to be exact, I can't remember Franco being in any of them. They are a great team, and they both knew where to position themselves in order to get the best shot for themselves and, more importantly, not interfere with the others' shot. If you want someone serious, and also seriously fun, then John LoConte is the right photographer for you. My wife and I couldn't be happier, especially since we got our photos while we were on our honeymoon, less than a week after the wedding!!

the expected date. Everyone that looks at our pictures say they are some of the best they have seen!
