617 WEDDINGS | Photography

idea what to do (like my husband and I)- they get to know you as a couple and they work with you to capture the most natural looking shots so that you know you are being 100% yourselves in your pictures. You don’t feel posed or staged in any way because they make you feel so comfortable. Jenni and Jess capture your day your way, and they are so accommodating- we did our engagement photo shoot out in Walpole and they were more than excited! We had a million group photos of people at our wedding and they knew exactly how to get everyone together where they needed to be. Jenni and Jess make an amazing team, you don’t even see most of the magic they are making behind the scenes. I would recommend Jenni and Jess for any special day- they will take care of you and give you photos that capture the essence of your day and make you feel amazing!

I CANT WAIT to see our wedding photos! He was amazing to work with and I would always recommend him to anyone! Thanks John for making our day so so special, your the best!

ce with both Chuck and John! Chuck made the wedding perfect from the beginning to the end. He knew how to get the party going, but was also very cognizant of the times where the music should be low enough to allow people to talk without screaming (namely, dinner). We have had so many people contact us about how much fun the dancing was! The dancing was honestly one of my favorite parts of the wedding! John was also incredible! He was amazing at setting up photographs, but was also willing to take whatever pictures we wanted to add on! I cannot wait to see the final products! I would recommend 617 weddings to anyone and everyone getting married! Thank you, 617 weddings!!!!!!!❤❤

the best instruction. Every person felt comfortable and beyond happy with the experience (my husband also hates taking photos and can be very shy) and he couldn’t have been more pleased with our experience with John! I will definitely without a doubt use John again and recommend him to everyone I know! These pictures have given us the ability to have the memories of our day last a lifetime and we are so grateful !!

! Everyone was on the dance floor the whole night! Thank you so much for everything 617!!

ative ideas for photos. He was so friendly and the pictures are AWESOME! Many people from the wedding have been asking who my photographer was because they're so impressed. I can't recommend 617 Weddings or John LoConte enough!

to see the raw footage, a lot of people could be on the fence with videography but it really was worth it to see some behind the scenes or moments from the day you may have missed. Would really recommend booking through them, thanks Franco & Chuck for all your hard work and allowing us to relive our day through the video!

ier for us. She walked us through everything step by step and made sure that our wedding photos were everything we dreamed of. Her work was beautiful and we will cherish her photos for many, many years to come. We are also a same sex couple and we never felt for a second that we were treated with anything but respect and kindness which meant so much to us. We highly recommend Danielle, John, and 617 for all your wedding vendor needs!! Thank you all so much! - Kaleigh and Katie Crafts

ther and made taking all of our pictures so much fun. Couldn't have asked for a better person to capture our special day. 10/10!!!

. He is kind, responsive and very professional. If I ever had any questions he was quick to respond and was extremely easy to work with. On the day of the wedding he was nothing but exceptional, I barely knew when he was there taking pictures. We got married at the Black Swan Country Club in Georgetown. We got our pictures back in less than a week and they are STUNNING. I can not stop going through them. We could not be more happy with our wedding photos and would recommend John to anyone. I cant wait to work with him again for family photos :)

hy and knows all the best spots for wedding photos at the Red Barn at Outlook Farm where we got married and even other locations (like Newburyport, where he took our engagement photos). We have been amazed by the quality of his work and believe you will be too!

ng and backgrounds. He was so easy to work with and did an amazing job. We are thrilled with the final photos and would absolutely recommend him to future couples!

with the space. John knew all of the best places to take pictures at the venue and we will treasure our photos forever. John is kind, professional, very easy to work with, and has outstanding results. I personally dislike posing for pictures but John made the experience such a pleasure. The photographs also created some really special moments with my husband and I where we could breathe in and live in the moment. We highly recommend booking John LoConte especially if you are getting married at the Red Barn!

k by our side every step of the way. We officially tied the knot last year and did a photo shoot with John which came out beautiful. He is one of the best people we have ever met. My husband and I aren't big picture people and John made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. We felt like we were working with one of our best friends. It felt like we have known him for a lifetime. After working with him a year ago for a mini shoot, we could not wait to get more pictures done by him! The weather was not on our sides as we wanted pictures by the water and had 35mph winds, but John was not bothered by it in the slightest way. He pushed through it, and I am certain that he got some amazing shots. I certainly will be booking John again in the future for another shoot! Thank you, John, for standing by our side throughout it all and for being so amazing to us!!

wing irritation toward my veil (haha). When our time was running out and we still had not done the parent dances, John stayed on for extra time and did not charge us the full price of the upgraded package. Every person who was in contact with John throughout the day had nothing but wonderful things to say about him. Thank you John!!

s we started our planning process. His online gallery showed beautiful images and he was honest about keeping the images as true as possible with just light editing. He was on time and unobtrusive and captured all the best moments of our day. John was very responsive via email and text and we never felt like we were not getting what we wanted. We would highly recommend John as your photographer and hope to work with him again!

any questions we had. John’s turn around time was super quick! Thank you for capturing our wedding that we’ll cherish forever!!

with the rising cases in December 2021 with the changes to the schedule and the time spent outside. The photos came on a USB that was easy to use.

th in person. We got married at the Tewksbury Country Club in fall and he was able to capture the gorgeous autumn colors of the day. We couldn't recommend John enough!

out amazing and I will cherish them forever!

ou, John!

unning photos! We were worried we would feel awkward in front of the camera, but they immediately put us at ease. We made the decision to push our wedding date back from May 2021-Septemeber 2021 due to COVID; sadly, we lost Jenni and Jess as they had another event booked. However, we were able to book John LoConte as our photographer. I was nervous about working with a photographer we had not used before, but John's friendliness put me at ease! He was easy to talk to, listened to what we envisioned for our wedding day, and was prompt with responses to any questions we had. For the day of, John easily accommodated an extra half hour so we would not be rushed taking pictures before heading to the church. We saw John made everyone feel comfortable and he took many amazing pictures! We were happy to have received our photos 2 weeks after our wedding, and they are gorgeous! Highly recommend John or Jenni/Jess for your wedding! They are the best! :)

zing. Their photography is truly a work of art and I cannot recommend them enough to capture your special day! From the beginning, Jenni was so helpful in our pre-wedding planning sessions. She helped me think of so many little things that made the day go smooth. When the actual day came, Jenni and Jess truly went above and beyond. We had so much fun shooting with them - they made my Husband and I so comfortable and we had a blast! On top of that, I loved how they worked together to capture so many different angles and shots. They helped guide us through different poses and helped me with my dress/train and my veil. I felt they went above and beyond to make sure that everything was perfect and I can't thank them enough for that! They also kept a close eye for sunset and grabbed my Husband and I to capture the most incredible shots!! This was amazing as our venue was on the Seaport Elite II with City Experiences and we got the most amazing skyline shots on the water!! Once we got our photos back, we were in awe with how incredible they are. (Honestly, shouldn't be surprised, because we knew Jenni and Jess were amazing after working with them!!). They captured so many special moments for us and captured so much detail. We will forever treasure these special photos and we highly recommend that you book Jenni and Jess for your wedding too!

is asking about him!!

ely and informative in all of our meetings. His website is a great indicator of his style! We chose to have engagement photos done and he has a great eye for backgrounds and lighting. Our photos came out beautiful! Our wedding was at Bass Rocks Golf Club, and we chose to do a first look down on the rocks on the back shore of Gloucester. John had to walk across what felt like Mount Everest to help us get the incredible first look that we asked him for and he did it with ZERO complaints. In fact, he complimented us on our choice, despite having to scale a rocky ledge and dodge poison ivy on the way. He goes ABOVE AND BEYOND to make sure that the bride and groom have what they want on their day. I would recommend John to anyone looking for a talented photographer for their wedding! :)

ed and on time. One Jimmy got us set up, we were put in contact with our DJ, Julio, and our videographer, Bruno. If you want your guests to have an amazing time, work with Julio! He was fun, engaging, and as they say, did anything we asked/hoped for. Our guests are still raving about how much fun they had. Bruno was super helpful in getting us set up and capturing our day. We could not recommend 617 more!

august for our engagement photos, we knew he was going to be great. You can tell this is his calling and he knows what he is doing. We couldn’t be more happy with booking with 617 weddings and having a John LoConte. He was able to capture our beautiful wedding day at Groveland Fairways 💕 Mr. & Mrs. Painten

photography and videography. Franco was great to work with and super outgoing and friendly! 617 offers discounts on packages when you book your DJ through them!

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.
