John Barone Photography

I immediately considered John Barone for my November 2023 wedding - remembering the beautiful photos he shared from my brothers December 2017 wedding. John was quick to respond when I reached out to him, extremely professional, and very personable! He made us feel comfortable, not only on the day of our wedding, but the days leading up to him making sure everything was coordinated with the venue/coordinator. Denida, John’s sidekick, not only helped John beautifully capture our day, but was also there when my grandfather got sick and performed CPR. Crazy!!! All around - top notch!!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND

Jonh is an amazing photographer. He photographed my engagement party, wedding, baby shower, and maternity shoot. His artistic ability it unmatched. He is extremely professional and made me feel extremely comfortable during my boudoir/maternity shoot. The pictures came out stunning. He really was wonderful to work with and I cannot wait for John to shoot our future family photos!

John's talent is nothing short of amazing. He doesn't just capture moments; he preserves them, turning instances into everlasting memories. What sets John apart is his unwavering dedication to excellence. He consistently goes above and beyond to ensure that each photograph is a masterpiece in its own right. Whether it's adjusting lighting, framing the perfect shot, or guiding his subjects with patience and professionalism, John's commitment to his craft shines through in every aspect of his work. John has an exceptional ability to connect with his clients. From the moment we met him, he made us feel at ease. He took the time to understand our vision, listening attentively to our ideas and preferences. Throughout our planning, he was honest and transparent and provided better ideas then we thought of ourselves. Moreover, John's flexibility and willingness to accommodate our requests were truly remarkable. The results speak for themselves – our photos are nothing short of spectacular! Every image radiates with emotion, capturing the essence of our special day in exquisite detail. My husband and I are beyond thrilled with the outcome, and we wholeheartedly recommend John to anyone seeking an unparalleled photography experience. Trust me; you won't be disappointed! Lastly, everyone loved the unique B&W photo booth such an amazing touch.

Choosing a wedding photographer is a decision not to be taken lightly; after all, these photos will serve as timeless mementos of your special day for years to come. For my wedding and additional photo session, I had the pleasure of working with John Barone and his team, and I can confidently say that their talent and professionalism exceeded all expectations. I started with John on additional photoshoot. He was able to understand my vision. He was not available for my wedding, but explained to me his team was more than qualified. With the great experience from the photoshoot, I was reassured, and we built a bond of trust. From our initial consultation to the final delivery of our photos, John and his team demonstrated a level of dedication and expertise that truly set his company apart. They took the time to understand our vision for the day, asking thoughtful questions and offering valuable insights that helped to shape the timeline all with an excellent result. On the day of the wedding, Stuart was a joy to work with. He and his assistant managed to capture every important moment seamlessly. On the morning of the wedding, they came in with a plan and executed it. Their ability to blend into the background while still capturing the essence of the day was truly remarkable. One of the things that impressed me most about John and his team was their attention to detail. It is clear they approached their work with a meticulous eye for perfection. Each phot a beautiful snapshot of a moment frozen in time. In addition to their technical skill, their friendly demeanor and genuine passion for their craft made the entire experience enjoyable and stress-free. In the end, the photos that John Barone Photography captured exceeded all our expectations. They managed to perfectly encapsulate the love, joy, and emotion of our wedding day in a way that words simply cannot express. I am forever grateful to all the Barone team for their incredible work and would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone in search of a talented and professional wedding photographer.

John and his crew were awesome to work with. We didn't want the typical wedding pics and John fully understood that and was able to capture really what our relationship is. He had a good eye for everything and captured some amazing pics. We would definitely recommend.

John was absolutely amazing! He is so skilled at his craft and really goes above and beyond when taking his photos! He is a true artist and visionary! He knows how to capture the perfect moment no matter what the circumstances. He never rushed us, he made us feel comfortable, and was super accommodating with any photo poses we had in mind. My husband and I couldn’t be happier with how our photos turned out, we would recommend John to everyone!

We had the incredible pleasure of having John as our wedding photographer, and we couldn't be happier with the results. John and his second shooter were the backbone of our entire day, ensuring everything stayed on track. They went above and beyond, capturing not only the expected shots but also the unique moments we requested. Their ability to showcase our personalities and those of our guests was truly remarkable. Their organization, humor, and talent resulted in the best wedding pictures we could have imagined. Additionally, I had a boudoir shoot with John, and his expertise made me feel incredibly comfortable and confident. Thank you, John, for making our wedding memories so special!

John did a fantastic job photographing our wedding. He has an artistic eye and made us feel very comfortable during the lead up to and on the day of the wedding. He is creative and captured the day like a story with a narrative. The black and white booth was a big hit, and our guests loved it. John is very easygoing, responds quickly, is extremely organized, knew our area well (Center City, with where the sun and shadows would be), and provided an impressive website for the photo gallery. We also got a fancy looking USB drive for our photos so they are stored locally. We highly recommend him.

John did our wedding photos and start to finish our experience was outstanding. He always responded to emails in a timely manner and was very thorough. He helped us plan a timeline for our wedding day and John and his crew were so punctual. His team was at our wedding site ahead of time to find the best spots to take photos, they also were very good at helping us stay on schedule on our wedding day. He helped ease our stress and worries on our big day and our pictures came out beautifully. We have been so excited about them and have been showing anyone who will look!

John and his team were amazing! Prior to the wedding, his communication was prompt, professional and honest, so we knew we had nothing to worry about leading up to the big day. When we got there, his whole team was ready to capture every angle and each were very skilled. All of our guests loved the B&W set! It’s such a unique feature and it adds a special touch that everyone remembers. We got our photos recently and are thrilled with the final product. Thank you, John! We would gladly recommend you to anyone (but make sure to book way in advance)!

John was truly the most wonderful photographer to work with. He has such a clear vision and we trusted his creativity end-to-end. He makes everything fun, he's responsive, he's organized, he's everything you would want in a photographer. He captured our engagement and our wedding perfectly - we couldn't have chosen a better photographer.

We knew from the second we hung up our initial call with John that we wanted to work with him. Not only is his work exquisite, but we loved his more editorial and artistic approach to wedding photography. On top of that, John is a super cool person that makes you feel comfortable and seen right off the bat! When he makes suggestions of places, locations, or different shots to try, it's easy to trust him completely and lean into the experience. Some of our favorite shots from our engagement session and wedding came from these moments, proving that there's a method to his madness. On top of all that, the black and white photo set he did at our reception was a huge hit! All our guests loved the concept and the photos not only look phenomenal---like they could be in a magazine---but some are just side-splittingly funny. Overall, we truly enjoyed spending time with John, his associate shooter Stuart, and his son Foster---who wound up assisting at both our engagement session and our wedding! The end results were absolutely perfect and truly capture the essence of us as a couple and who our friends and family are and what they mean to us. If you have the opportunity to work with John and his team, do it. You won't regret it!

I cannot recommend John enough; we knew we were going to be in good hands based on our initial intro conversation with John and we were blown away by our pictures. My husband and I also got engagement photos done with John. He is professional, unbelievably talented and was an all-around amazing person to have on our wedding day. He was extremely organized and new exactly what needed to get done on the day. He was a huge help in making sure the timeline made sense, completely owned the logistics and made sure we got all of the shots (on the most popular wedding day in 2022, while at one of the most popular spots in Philadelphia for wedding photos). The pictures are absolutely stunning. The B&W pictures are so cool and our guests have loved them, they are very unique. He worked with our venue to make sure we could have the B&W set in a less than ideal set-up for him. Don't hesitate to book John, I can't say enough great things about him. One of the groomsmen and his fiancé was so impressed the day-of that they booked him for their own wedding!

John was the best photographer we could have asked for! He really took the time to get to know us and make sure he would provide us with photography we loved. He did a great job staging the photos and they all came out stunning! He was super efficient with the timing of various group shots, getting them all done before the ceremony so that we were not stuck spending half of our wedding posing for photos. I also love that John does a black and white fashion shoot rather than a photo booth, it was very classy and the pictures that came out of it frameworthy. He was such a hit that our MoH is now using him for her wedding! Thanks again John!!

I knew I wanted John to capture my wedding day long before I was even engaged. From day one John was easy to talk to, honest, patient, kind, and knowledgeable. His communication was timely and no matter how many emails with questions I sent John was prompt and informative with suggestions. On wedding day he was so friendly with my family and friends it gave me a sense of comfort. I trusted his process throughout the day and he maintained the timeline and was flexible with any changes (rainy day). The cherry on top are my photos. They are absolutely amazing! I can feel all of the emotions as I view each picture and relive that day over again. Choosing John to beautifully document an unforgettable day/night was the best decision I made!

Do yourself a favor and book with John!!! My husband and I could not be happier that we chose John to photograph our wedding after initially talking to several photographers. From day one John was upfront and transparent about his end to end process: day of expectations, timelines, editing techniques, his style, etc. Leading up to our wedding John was extremely easy and quick to communicate with, always sending reminders and answering any questions/concerns almost immediately and at length to ensure we had a clear understanding. He is so down to earth, organized, and very reachable :) On our wedding day John expertly captured the intimacy, love, playfulness, and raw emotion of the day. He had a clear plan of action, especially with group shots and creatively worked with the sunlight to incorporate beautiful natural lighting in our photos. It is impossible to even choose favorites! John’s professionalism and industry experience clearly shone through on our day. He made everyone feel comfortable and helped make the day so lighthearted and fun. For each part of the day he explained his thought process, what he was going to capture, and the timing. He kept the photos moving without rushing it and showed us some quick preview shots on his camera throughout the day. There was no sense of awkward camera shyness as John cooly puts you at ease. He will do anything to get ‘the shot’. We truly did not have to worry about anything photo-wise. John’s crew is also wonderful to work with! Zero stress/worries at all. John’s editing is timeless and classic - we know these photos will be just as beautiful 30 years down the road. He is not someone who slaps a filter or trendy editing on pictures. It is clear he is a seasoned vet and absolute rockstar. The guests also loved the black and white photo set he provides with his package. I cannot recommend John enough - get on his schedule ASAP as he fills up fast and you will not be disappointed!!!!

My husband and I got married in November ‘22 and we knew we wanted our photos to be high quality, professional, and timeless. We decided to go with John Barone after experiencing his work at my sisters wedding as well the year before. John exceeded our expectations ten fold, and our photo gallery from our wedding is spectacular!!! Along the way, John was communicative, knowledgeable, and really made us feel like family! :) He had great advice, especially we decided to go with his suggestion of a first look, due to light concerns, and it was the best decision we made! John and his staff were organized the day of, and also came prepared with ideas for shot locations around the venue. The whole day was perfect!! The photos afterwards were magical, and can only be described as perfection! Some even looked like paintings, which my husband and I loved! The only thing we didn’t like…. was how HARD he made it to choose photos for our album since they are all amazing! We are obsessed with our gallery, go with John Barone, there’s literally no one else that can compare!

There aren’t enough words to describe how amazing working with John was. I’ve always known that I wanted John to photograph my wedding when the day came and he did not disappoint. Not only are his photos beautifully taken but he is professional and easy to work with. John has a way of making you feel comfortable in every shot so that you are constantly smiling and giving off the image of your best self. I was nervous about how my wedding pictures would turn out as I was 7 months pregnant with twins and didn’t feel like your typical beautiful bride but he made me feel fabulous on the day of and looking back at the photos has me smiling all over again. Not only did we love working with John but our guests couldn’t get enough of him. They thoroughly enjoyed the black and white “Photo Booth” that John created and we have some hilarious and fun photos of everyone. I promise you, you will not be disappointed if you decide to go with John.

I had an amazing experience working with John and his team. John has taken wedding photos for family friends and we knew we had to work with him as well. He is very communicative and absolutely views his job through an artist lens. The photos he took were incredible with amazing quality and natural look. We are so happy we worked with John. Highly recommend!

We worked with John for years leading up to our wedding, literally years. Through all of our wedding postponements and delays, John always went above and beyond to be accommodating and had an abundance of patience. When our wedding day finally arrived, we were a little overwhelmed not knowing how the whole “day of” process works. John came in calm, cool and collected which immediately took our stress level down a whole lot of notches. His presence was very comforting, his direction was very clear, his years of experience was evident. He took us around the city for photographs and made it fun! We were fascinated by how John’s experience and eye for photography took us to places we would have never envisioned as a backdrop for our photos. The pre-ceremony pictures were painless, the photography during was seamless (we didn’t even notice him there), the after was fun and the black and white photoset was a huge hit for our guests. We are truly thankful that we found John during the early days of our wedding search. The Barone team was more than we could have ever envisioned in a wedding photographer. Their amazing and unique photos will help us remember the details of such an important day forever.

John is an amazing photographer! He made me feel so comfortable both during my engagement shoot and on my wedding day. He really captured the spirit of my wedding and of my relationship. I'd absolutely recommend his services to other brides!

John Barone and his team were absolutely amazing! John came highly recommended, and he did not disappoint. From the beginning, John helped us to plan our day. He built a timeline around what we wanted most during our day. Planning a wedding day timeline can be overwhelming, but with John, it was a breeze. On the big day, they perfectly captured every moment. Every single picture is beautiful. Each shot looks like it could be in a magazine. Shout out to Anthony and Stuart, who were so fun to work with on the best day! I cannot recommend John enough!! Thank you, John, Anthony, and Stuart!

Look no further, John Barone is the best photographer in the Philadelphia area. He comes with decades of experience and a wildly creative lens that results in beautiful, timeless images. He has a way of taking an ordinary scene and capturing it in a way that results in true artistry. His story telling approach had us reliving each moment from the wedding day, bringing back the emotions. His work is BREATHTAKING! Seeing his magic, talent, and hours of hard work come to life was incredible. John is professional, resourceful, and organized. He is also such a blast to be with! We could not have had more fun during our portraits laughing and hanging out with him. John and Stuart captured the essence of the energy throughout the day perfectly. We’re beyond thankful for all this team has done throughout this process. We couldn’t have gotten luckier to find John Barone Photography.

If you're looking for a photographer for your wedding, special occasion or just because… look no further than John Barone! John shot our wedding and my husband and I are still so obsessed with our photos - he's super creative and the photos turned out amazing! I feel like I'm looking at a magazine! His energy is awesome and he is a true professional with years of experience. He worked with us when we had to move our wedding date back an entire year (COVID) and was an absolute pleasure to work with. The black & white photoshoot that comes with his photography package made our night even more special and our guests loved seeing their photos afterwards. Book John, you won't regret it!

John's photos are absolutely STUNNING! He is so easy and fun to work with and always manages to find the perfect shot. I couldn't recommend him more to anyone looking to perfectly capture their day.

As someone who is design-minded and also enjoys photography, hiring a really good wedding photographer was high on my list of priorities. We could not have made a wiser decision than hiring John and his team to be with us on the big day. John is incredibly organized and knows how to operationalize to make sure the day goes smoothly. He is an incredible communicator - clear and straightforward - which we appreciated. Trust this man. His business sense and his work are superior. We were awestruck by how amazing the photos turned out. He was able to capture the day perfectly. As a HUGE bonus, our wedding guests LOVED the B&W portrait studio John offered. In summary, you're in good hands if you choose John.

Prep: John came highly recommended and we were very impressed by his previous work. John met with us for an intro and discussed our plans. He provided valuable insight on the timeline of our day. We expected rain on our wedding day and John had excellent ideas to accept and embrace the rain in style. He followed up with us several times prior to the wedding day and was available to answer any questions via email and phone/text. First Look, Wedding Party/Family Photos, and Ceremony: John arrived at the venue promptly and prepared. He had creative ideas for the First Look and Wedding Party/FamilyPhotos. When our photos arrived, we were stunned by the outcome! He took the director role and was able to manage our crowd to follow his lead and the timeline in a professional and fun manner. We had a great, memorable time with our photos! As for the ceremony, we didn’t even notice John and Anthony as we were focused on our vows; however, they were able to capture the moment beautifully! Reception: The black and white photos came out so good! My only regret is not convincing all my guests to partake in the black and white photos. They were so much fun to review! My guests loved the photos and I have received many compliments on this addition. The additional photos of the night were also spectacular. I highly recommend booking John Barone Photography for your event!

We worked with Jon for both our engagement and wedding day photos. He was an absolute joy to work with. My wife and I are normally awkward in photos, but Jon helped us feel comfortable in front of the camera. Everyone from my mother to my friends noticed how much Jon helped bring out our personalities in the photos. He knows all the best secret spots to shoot in the city and we could not be happier. Jon also made sure to organize our schedule with our glam team and wedding venue to make sure we never felt rushed on the big day. We cannot recommend him enough.

This past weekend my fiancé and I had the wonderful opportunity to work with John for our engagement shoot. I could not imagine a better way to kick off our wedding festivities! I have had the pleasure of being a bridesmaid in a few weddings his team had previously shot and when it came to choosing our photographer I knew it had to be him! After this weekend I am certain I made the right choice. My fiancé and I were a nervous wreck the weeks ahead planning our outfits and feeling insecure about how we would looked. John eased every nerve and made us feel so comfortable in the process. We no longer worried about our insecurities and truly got to enjoy the day and each other. John became our biggest cheerleader and pushed us out of our comfort zone (ie: climbing barefoot on ice cold rocks, standing on the roof of our car just right so we didn’t cave in and pleading with a group of cheerleaders to give us two minutes for the perfect drone shot) John did it all with a smile on his face and a mission to capture all the best details. My advice to any bride will be pick your date, find your venue and call John Barone Photography you will not be disappointed!

This review is well overdue! My husband and I met John in 2019. It was the best decision and investment we have made regarding documenting our love story. John took our engagement, elopement (thank you COVID...), ceremony, AND maternity pictures. Clearly, we love his work and his personality. If our son was not born smack dab in the middle of wedding season, we would probably have hired him for newborn pictures. John's skill level and creativity are unmatched. His pictures are not only beautiful but also unique. He will go out of his way to get that 'perfect' shot. If you're feeling adventurous and willing to try new things to get unique pictures (e.g. walking into the ocean, lying in a field), he's your guy. He will put you at ease and allow you to have fun and just enjoy the moment. John is extremely understanding and flexible. He is easy to reach in case of questions or concerns. He truly feels like a friend which is hard to come by in today's world. We could not have asked for a better person to work with through this pandemic. If you're questioning whether John is worth the investment for your wedding. 100% YES over and over again. It is something you will never regret.

We used John for both our wedding and engagement shoot and for both he was the most fun, friendly, professional, creative, and calming person. We told him before each event what we wanted and the vibe we wanted to give off and he went with it and surpassed our expectations. When I (the bride) was freaking out or scared he was making jokes and talking me down. He made our whole bridal party laugh and we just had the best time with him. One of our guests from across the country even said she wanted to use him, which was just the biggest compliment. I will 100% be recommending John and using him for any other big occasions.

John was absolutely amazing to work with, we can’t recommend him enough! He was so conversational and personable during our engagement session, it really helped us to feel at ease in front of the camera. The shots he helped us pick were both stunning and very personally meaningful to us as a couple. I think one of the biggest testaments to his work came when I showed our photos to a friend who is getting married half-way across the country, and she asked “do you think he’d fly all the way to Missouri for my wedding??” John is one of the best decisions we’ve made thus far, and I can’t wait to work with him again for the wedding in May!

John is a true professional with an artist's eye. My fiance and I were nervous about interviewing photographers but John made us comfortable from the Zoom call to the actual shoots. His recommendations were great and the photos were out of this world. Couldn't recommend more.

My fiancé and I got engaged during the height of pandemic so meeting with wedding vendors in person wasn’t really any option. We started out by reading reviews and then looking at portfolios. The moment we looked at John’s work we could tell it was different. After talking with him, learning more about his background, and what he offered (and how unique some of it was…hello black&white session) we knew he was the one - without even meeting him in person. Fast forward a couple months to our engagement shoot, and we were very nervous going into it. We’re not picture people and John made us feel comfortable immediately. The whole shoot was a blast and it gave us a great chance to get to know John before the big day. Most importantly the pictures are amazing. We don’t look posed, it doesn’t look forced, it just looks like us! As a result, on more than one occasion people have told us they’re the best engagement photos they’ve ever seen or that they typically don’t like engagement pictures and they love ours. If you have the opportunity to work with John, do it! We’re so pleased with our engagement pictures and can’t wait to see what he’ll do at the wedding.

Boy am I glad I came across John when I first started wedding planning! We had to switch our dates 3 times due to COVID and John was so responsive and flexible and worked with us to figure everything out! We ended up having something smaller than originally planned and John was so helpful in planning it all out. He also treats you like a friend vs just another client. He really makes it very personal. I felt like I've known him for years! When we got our photos back from him we were blown away. They are so amazing and we have gotten so many compliments on them. I couldn't recommend John more!

My husband and I can’t recommend John highly enough. We started talking with him about our wedding day and our vision back before COVID, and he stuck with us through not one, not two, but THREE wedding dates! His professionalism and organization are unmatched, and it definitely put our mind at ease to know that he had everything under control. With years and years of wedding photography under his belt, he was a great resource for figuring out the timeline of our day too. He and his second shooter, Stuart, made our photos so fun and creative; no one else will have photos like ours. My future sister-in-law was so impressed that she booked John the night of our wedding for her 2022 wedding! Book him now, you won’t regret it.

John was so great. He captures amazing images, and makes them super unique and artsy, but in no way over the top. My husband and I are not the most comfortable in front of the camera, but John made us feel super comfortable and we were able to relax. We used John for engagement + wedding and I could not recommend him more. The bonus is the black and white shoot at the wedding for guests (instead of a photo booth) - the photos are so elegant and the guests loved this.

John & his team were absolutely phenomenal. From our first interaction with him through getting our pictures delivered he was super responsive and helpful. He left no detail unturned in our photo journey and was able to roll with anything we threw at him to work it into the timeline. We added the Black & White photoset to our package and it did not disappoint. One photo is better than the next and we would tell you to run, not walk to book John for your wedding. Your pictures will turn out absolutely STUNNING and a keepsake to have forever. We have already gotten so many compliments and we can't stop smiling when we look at them!

John Barone is an incredible talent who does more than take photos; he creates magnificent art. The photos from our wedding all look like they could be a beautiful painting because of John's eye for detail and attention to contrast and color. My husband and I were incredibly happy with the final results from our special day. John and Sean both were a genuine delight to work with because of their down to earth personalities and easygoing nature. I could not imagine working with anyone else on my wedding day. I was incredibly anxious and John's professional, yet fun vibe helped ease my nerves before the church ceremony. Thank you to John and Sean X10000 for the masterful photos and artistry!

Our wedding was this past weekend, 07/31/2021. John (and Sean!) was/were our photographer(s). I can't find enough wonderful things to say about John Barone Photography. There was never a moment John didn't feel like a close friend who was helping me plan the logistics of this event, and subsequently rolling it out through the many unforeseen hiccups of the day! I have never been photographed professionally before, (unbeknownst to John) standing in front of a camera wasn't the easiest for me. John made me feel so comfortable and all I had to do was smile. Not only is he a brilliant photographer (who is super creative), but he was full of great advice from start to finish. Anything I threw at him, he made happen - there is no photo opportunity that he won't take the risk for. Our wedding was postponed from August 2020 to July 2021 - John handled the rebooking in such a professional and comforting way. I will forever be grateful for his eagerness to keep me happy during that really heartbreaking time. I never, ever felt like "another bride," or "another wedding" - I always felt like my event was the only thing he was thinking about. We ran into a lot of road blocks planning (and during this event), but we just kept it moving. As a bride and groom you do so much research looking for a photographer for your big day - this person is usually a stranger that you entrust to capture a huge emotional rollercoaster on film. I have no doubt John and Sean captured the most raw and intimate moments beautifully, and then flawlessly shifted to capturing the wild and crazy moments too. I truly could not have asked for a better photographer, artist, and just super cool dude to work with. Dom & I are forever thankful, John (and Sean)! You are the best.

What more can I say about the experience I had with John? He’s just too awesome! My husband and I were always stiffed when it comes to pictures. I was worried about how my prewedding pics as well as my wedding pics will come out. Not until I found John! I saw from her portfolio, all of the couples were very relaxed in the pictures. And John was the reason! Although he’s very professional, he also very friendly and can make his clients very comfortable. My husband and I loveeeee all the pictures that he takes and it’s so hard to select which one we want to put in our album because we want all of them! If you want the best pictures and experience, John will be your answer!

I don’t need to attest to John’s talent; his work speaks for itself. He will capture the best moments of your wedding, memorializing it better than you experienced it. But for me, it wasn’t just his talent that made our day special. It was so much fun to work with him and his team; they fit in seamlessly into our crew. But John was also more than my photographer. He was the big brother I needed. He was able to keep me in the moment instead of getting stuck on the hiccups of the day. I may still have beautiful pictures had I not chosen to work with him, but I know for 100% that our wedding would not have been as effortless and memorable as it was if it were not for him.

Working with John was the best choice we could have made for our wedding. He is so incredibly talented, and his work is stunning. We received so many comments throughout our wedding about the quality of his work and what a great eye he has, and our guests were so impressed with the final photos. His artistic perspective and what he's able to pull off is unparalleled. Both my husband and I are generally uncomfortable in front of the camera. Somehow, John made us both feel comfortable, and we ended up looking better than we could have imagined! In addition to his work being fantastic, he's a dream to work with. I was really unsure as to how any of this worked, and he walked me through the process and helped schedule out the day, so I had an idea of how the other vendors and logistics fit together. He was the one piece of my wedding that I never had to worry about. We're so grateful John was part of our special day and captured it so beautifully!

John was the best photographer my husband and I could ask for. He was cool, down to earth and incredibly knowledgeable. We had to reschedule our wedding 3 times due to Covid and John worked with us the whole time. All of our bridal party had so much fun taking photos with John and his colleague Stewart. They even made sure to take my husband and I away from the reception to get some beautiful night time photos on the beach. Thank you so much John and Stewart!

As soon as my husband and I met John we knew we wanted to book him for our wedding. When first meeting with John, we not only loved his portfolio but we felt so comfortable in the few minutes of speaking with him. We are so happy with our decision. I can not tell how amazing and how many complements we get on our wedding pictures. All of my friends and family can not stop talking about them and how much fun they with the black and white photo set. One of my friends loved my pictures from my wedding so much she booked him for her wedding next year! John is not only an excellent photographer but also makes taking the pictures stress free. He is very detail oriented and even checked out the area before we began with taking pictures. I am pretty shy, but once I saw our wedding photos and with some convincing by John, I ended up doing the pin up as well after my wedding. I am so happy I did! They turned out AMAZING and my husband is obsessed with them. I would definitely recommend doing the pin up, not just for your husband but for yourself. John made it some comfortable and I could not believe the person in the pictures was me. Do yourself a favor and book John! You won't regret it.

John did my good friend's wedding 6 years before we got engaged, and he was my first call, since her photos turned out so amazing. John is extremely talented, cool as hell, and shot our wedding like a pro. The photos turned out amazing. My husband and I looked like super models. The photos were just spectacular, from catching all the emotions and special moments, but also mixing in some amazing shots that could easily be from a Vogue editorial. He's definitely type-A, but I consider that a good thing, because he us, and everyone else on schedule. He was fun to hangout with in between all the craziness as well. Book him and you won't be disappointed! He is extremely affordable for what you get. My cousin/bridesmaid even hit it off with his second shooter, haha. He's experienced and really has an eye for amazing photography. He captured everything and helped our vision become a reality!

John was the BEST hands down. I haven’t received my pictures back yet (my wedding was only two weeks ago) but i have no doubt they will be AMAZING. I needed to write a review on what a pleasure he is to work with. I found him through the knot and the reviews were not wrong, he is so good at what he does and is the perfect balance of chill, but also knows how to get sh*t done! Thank you John for making out wedding day stress free and fun!

I would highly recommend John. His pictures are truly amazing from our Wedding in April 2019. His creative shots are some of our favorite. His attention to detail and editing of the pictures provided us with hundreds of shots we loved. Johns was able to capture all our candid moments with us not even realizing he was there. John also did our engagement shots in Philadelphia which we loved.

John is amazing...so easy to work with and made our wedding day fun and easy! His experience is evident from the first moment you meet as he makes sure to explain the process and options, gives suggestions and offers to help along the planning process. John’s attention to detail throughout the entire process was exceptional. You will not regret spending the money to have John and his team photograph any of your special events- the results are stellar! We just received our photos and they are AMAZING! My husband and I cannot stop looking at them! John and Anthony captured every moment of our wedding perfectly!

John & Anthony were our photographers for our fall wedding and they were AMAZING! Both are very creative (drone shot anyone??), efficient, laid back, funny and extremely organized. They were also great about all of the driving that day! We offered them rides to all of our various stops, but they said they'd meet us along the way. They traveled from my parents house (as well as mine & my husband's house) in South Jersey to Villanova, PA for the ceremony (note - it was family weekend on campus at our alma mater, so that could have added to the potential craziness with photos, but John & Anthony embraced the busy campus and found a great spot for us & the bridal party to take some fun shots!). After the ceremony, we met them back at the location of our reception which was back in South Jersey - they got there before us and made sure their cameras were ready to go once we arrived! The rest of the day with them was perfect - they were very attentive, quick on their feet with various photo requests I had and the guests absolutely LOVED the black & white photo set (definitely ask John about this, it's really cool & different)!! Also, I love that I am able to track when my wedding photos will be ready through the John Barone Photography Facebook page which is updated weekly. He'll post which weddings he is currently editing, as well as the wedding photos that are on deck to be edited next! We can't say enough great things about John & Anthony, so if you want the best in the business, hire them for your special day - you won't be disappointed!! - T & P

When we first met John I knew right away he was the photographer we wanted for our wedding. He is so knowledgeable and his portfolio is awesome. He not only worked with us to get the photos we knew we wanted for our wedding he also incorporated his vision for the photos and they turned out amazing. He is not only an excellent photographer, but also helped keep our wedding party organized and the timeline of our day run smoothly. Our wedding party still complements how fun he was (one of my favorite photos is the wedding party popping a bottle of champagne in the middle of Broad Street). John went above and beyond to help capture our day. People compliment our wedding photos all the time. So if you are deciding who to choose for your wedding day John will not disappoint. I have been in weddings since and my husband and I both said how professional and talented John was in comparison.

We are so glad that we were able to book John as our wedding photographer. He’s a talented photographer and a great guy to have on your team during the entire wedding process. My husband and I planned our Philadelphia wedding from Los Angeles and John was helpful and easy to communicate with. He took our preferences into account, made his recommendations, and tried to accommodate us even when we were hoping for a lot to happen in a short amount of time. A week before our wedding, we did a pre-wedding/engagement shoot with John and it started pouring rain about five minutes into it. Since I was in my wedding dress that I needed to wear again in a week, getting soaked and muddy wasn’t a great option for us that day. John made the best of the location we were at and then was kind enough to drive us to some covered locations that he had shot at before. It was awesome that he had the experience and knowledge of the city to be able to think of several options on the spot and easily transport us there. We’ve seen a handful of teaser photos so far and loved how they turned out. During the day of the wedding, I can’t say enough about how nice it was to not have to worry about photos and to have John keeping everyone on schedule. He was personable, detailed, and reliable every step of the way, which is a huge help considering how chaotic the day can be. My husband and I aren’t very comfortable being in photos, but John helped us feel more at ease and gave us clear directions, which we really appreciated. We heard compliments from our bridesmaids and groomsmen about how good John and his second shooter, Sean, were throughout the day. The two of them made it so everyone had fun with the photos. Finally, John’s black & white fashion set during the reception is a very cool take on a photo booth. It’s so unique and classy looking and our guests seemed to enjoy it. We had such an amazing and memorable time going through this experience and John was a big part of that. We were sad when it was all over partly because we wouldn’t get to hang out with him anymore! My husband and I have since talked about what other occasions we might need a photographer in our future so we could work with him again.

John was great to work with throughout the whole experience! Love the natural feeling of the shots and the guests loved the black and white photo set. Can’t wait to see our pictures!

John and his team are the best in Philadelphia. They truly helped to make our wedding the special day it was meant to be. John and his team did all of the little things right. They were on time, very respectful and fun, and brought a great attitude throughout they day that only enhanced our experience. John and his team made myself, husband, bridal party, parents, and guests all feel comfortable during our formal pictures and Black and White fashion set. The Black and White fashion set photos are absolutely amazing and so fun to see all of our guests having fun and being creative with this set! Most importantly, John kept us on schedule throughout the day. Before our wedding day, John and I spoke multiple times about the timing for the wedding and he planned out our day perfectly to include all the photos and different locations I wanted. This may not sound important, but with so many moving pieces and people, it is easy to fall behind schedule. John, however, kept us true to the plan we set in place, which allowed us to get to our cocktail reception early and enjoy that time with our guests. In addition, John was super flexible and willing to work with us, even when made I made a timing mistake. The mistake I made caused us to move up our timeline an hour, which meant John had to set his equipment up at our reception venue the night before the wedding. He easily could've said no, but instead he went out of his way to make sure it was all in place for our wedding day. Outside of the little things, the photos are beyond what we imagined they would be. We obviously had scoped out John's work before hiring him, but to see how he captures you and your spouse is something so special and an amazing skill he has. We absolutely love the photos. In addition to John knowing exactly how to capture you and your spouse and getting the angles just right, he also edits each photo he gives you. John gave us around 1500 photos from our wedding day and absolutely all of them are flawless! John also knows Philadelphia like the back of his hand and mapped out our photo locations before hand. This way we were able to utilize multiple spaces in Philadelphia for scenery and backdrops. John and his team made us feel comfortable posing and made it easy for us to have fun doing it. In our formal shots with our bridal party, especially, you can see everyone having fun and truly enjoying themselves. Overall, John and his team will provide you with great service, great photos, and a great time. We cannot recommend him enough and are so grateful for the work that they did on our special day. When we look at our photos, we are reliving all the special moments again and this is all thanks to John!

John and his team were amazing photographers. Our wedding photos turned out absolutely amazing. He is a very personable and professional photographer that truly enjoys what he does as shown in his work and his attention to detail. He took away the stress of having to map out the entire day of when and where photographs would be taken. He was happy to work with us and was extremely flexible. His attention to detail is superb and made the photographs truly special. Our photos turned out amazing, better than we imagined, and we absolutely loved them. There were absolutely no regrets with our choice of photographer. Thank you for the hard work and dedication you and your team put into our special day! It was seen before, during, and after the wedding.

As soon I got engaged,I knew John just had to be my photographer there was no question about it! I have seen his work and immediately became obsessed (even before I was engaged). Ryan and I went and met with him at his house, and as soon as we left immediately both turned to each other and said he is our photographer! John's work is truly amazing and is with out a doubt the best photographer in the business!

John is truly an artist and has such a unique vision when he photographs weddings. We loved how the poses, lighting and overall look of our pictures were different than just the standard wedding albums that most photographers create. John captures both the big and small moments, and does so without being intrusive. He wants what is best for his clients, and his work speaks to that. You will not regret hiring him, and you definitely will not regret it after you see your pictures.

He captured the day flawlessly and felt like just another friend enjoying the day with us. I didn’t have to think of any specific pictures, I left all the creativity to him and it paid off big time. Certainly not your run of the mill wedding photographer, none of my photos look forced or over staged just beautiful and natural like how the day was. My sister and cousin used him as well ... I loved his work so much that I didn’t use a videographer because I knew his pictures would tell the story of the day perfectly. Professional, organized, fun & easy.

John was such a blast to work with! I was a bridesmaid in a wedding he photographed and I knew I had to have him for my wedding! I’m so glad I was able to book him for my wedding! I’m normally very awkward in front of the camera but John made me feel comfortable and at ease. He was quick to answer all of my emails and questions before the wedding. He was super organized and everything ran so smoothly the day of! The pictures he took came out so beautiful; I couldn’t be happier! So to sum up all of my feelings about John: he’s amazing!

Did a great job overall.

Besides your fiancé, you by far spend the most time on your wedding day with your photographer. Trust me when I say that there is no one that you want to spend your wedding day with more then John and his team. Working with John is a lot like meeting up with an old friend for coffee. He creates a calm and casual environment that allows your moments of joy to shine through each and every picture. His years of experience is well worth the investment. His work is phenomenal and the planning process leading up to the big day is easy as pie. We were so lucky he was available on our big day and we couldn’t have done it without him!

John is an outstanding photographer. I don’t feel like I can do him any kind of justice telling you about it, you just have to meet him and let him capture your most important moments because the results will take your breath away. Truly an artist, providing us with the most stunning photos of our wedding. Every photograph highlights emotions that help bring you back to your special memory. We wanted to find a photographer who would not take "typical" wedding photos but would make our memories into art, and we very much found that in John. Trust me, he will make your wedding day.

Working with John Barone photography was a really great experience! As someone who likes to have a plan, I appreciated that John reached out to me early on in the wedding planning process to start putting together an itinerary for the day. With his help, the wedding day could not have gone smoother. We ended up an hour ahead of schedule! It's apparent that John puts a lot of thought and consideration into the different shots, and we really love how they turned out. We also really liked the B&W Fashion Set at the wedding, because we got some of our most goofy and fun shots at the reception! Overall, I couldn't recommend John Barone Photography more. He and his team were an integral part of the wedding's success.

There are not enough positive things I can say about John and his team. From the day my husband and I met John, we felt so comfortable, immediately felt like he was our new best friend, and knew instantly he was the one to shoot our big day. Over the course of a year, John was there every step of the way, answering questions, and helping perfect the timeline for our wedding day. He also shot our engagement pictures, which were STUNNING. From that point on, I could not wait to see our wedding photos. John was always readily available via email or phone, discussing all minute details to make our day perfect, and that is exactly what it was... PERFECT! John and his team even stayed until the last minute of the wedding, ensuring they got every shot from the day! The black and white photo set was also a huge hit with our guests! If you have been searching for a wedding photographer, search no more! You have found your team!!! John, THANK YOU. We are so sad the day is over, but cannot wait to see the pictures!

The positive reviews from other couples speak for themselves! We were so happy with our decision to book John and his team for our Brooklyn wedding! John went above and beyond throughout the wedding planning process in answering our many questions, making recommendations for us to consider, and visiting our reception site ahead of time to seek out fun locations for photos. John's experience was evident with planning and keeping us on schedule on wedding day. Our guests loved the black and white photo booth and it was like nothing else we had seen at other weddings. We are thrilled with our photos and can't stop looking through the gallery. There are so many creative shots and we are so glad we went with John and his team!

We had a great experience working with John. After seeing his photos online and meeting him in person, we knew he was the guy for us. He was easy to talk to, professional and we felt like he got us and what we were looking for. He shot our engagement and wedding photos and we couldn’t be happier. He made everything so easy for us and even managed to make us look good :) His pictures speak for themselves and you get nothing but the best when you work with him.

My husband and I can't say enough good things about John and his team. We found out about him at our friend's wedding, and absolutely adored the B&W photo session he provides for all guests - AMAZING QUALITY!! We weren't even engaged at that time and had decided we needed to have him for our future wedding. Luckily, about a year later we were able to! Engagement shoot was fun and lighthearted. I added on a boudoir shoot for a surprise for my husband on our wedding day - John was very comfortable to work with. Wedding day was timely, professional, and FUN. He gladly incorporated some quirks we wanted to add in (panda/bear heads, anyone?) and made the process seamless. I knew this was one area of the wedding I didn't have to stress over at all. 5 stars, would highly recommend.

John photographed did our engagement and wedding photos and both were perfect! From day one, I told John I wanted a Gatsby wedding and a vintage engagement shoot. John managed to find locations that allowed my love of vintage to blend spectacularly with the modern. He came to New York to do our engagement shoot and found random bridges that made for amazing artistic prints that I get nonstop compliments on. He was a blast to work with and really worked with me and my husband to get the perfect photos. One thing that John did, which for me felt extra special, was combining several photos together to make one perfect shot. In the photo with my grandparents, my grandfather often moved his head. John was able to seamlessly edit the photo with his face from another shot. Highly recommend John Barone Photography to everyone!!

Had a great experience with John Barone! It was fun working with him and his partner Anthony and we love how our wedding photos turned out!!

John was such a pleasure to work with. We used him for both our engagement and wedding. He made everything so easy and FUN. We had such an amazing experience with him. My husband and I are so so happy we chose John and his team. He was worth every single penny. Honestly, in the beginning we were a little concerned about money BUT these are pictures you will cherish for a lifetime. You only get to do this once!! We are so sad it is all over because we really loved working with him so much. I cannot say enough wonderful things about him. If you do not choose John as your photographer, you are missing out and you will regret it BIG TIME. Thank you so much John for creating so many wonderful memories with us. We loved working with you! Love, Amber & Jonathan
