We had hired a good friend to be our photographer, but hired John Paul Studios for videography and DJ. We met John and his wife Adel at the Cleveland Bridal Show and talked with them for about an hour. We knew it was meant to be! They not only worked with us very well but also worked with our celebrant and venue to coordinate the smaller details. We had DJ Darrel as our DJ who did a great job with the music and keeping the party alive (and had no problems cutting the party short because we got tired towards the end!). John Paul Studios made sure to get every important detail from us, and we can't recommend them enough!

Thank you so much, Grace & Bryan! It was truly a pleasure working with you both, and we’re...
so happy we could be a part of your special day. Meeting you at the Cleveland Bridal Show and getting to know your vision made everything come together so seamlessly. We’re glad you had a fantastic experience with our videography and DJ services—DJ Darrel always knows how to keep the party going (and wrap it up smoothly when needed! 😆).
Wishing you both a lifetime of happiness, and we appreciate your kind words and recommendation! 💕🎥🎶

We had a wonderful experience with Adele, Matt, and John. They were flexible and open to our engagement pictures including our dog. The day of our wedding, Adele was prompt to start taking pictures at my parents’ house and captured so many beautiful, intimate moments we will cherish forever. Her and her colleague Matt then got great candid pictures at the church, our pictures locations, and reception of not just us and the bridal party, but of the our guests as well. Our photos turned out amazing, and there were a lot included; we are excited to receive our coffee table book. We recommend them to anyone!

It was a great pleasure to have John Paul Studios photograph our wedding. The team they sent out with was very easy to work with and had many different ideas for pictures that would make the day a lot more memorable. They were accommodating with a few requirements due to the nature of our venue. They walked through the venue twice with us, once leading up to and once before the wedding, so that they had a good knowledge of what to expect and how they could best use their equipment. They did a fantastic job of capturing the service and the joy in our faces throughout the night. We would highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for a quality group of photographers to capture their special day.

I met John at the bridal show and after one conversation, I knew he was my photographer. He was so animated and excited about our wedding throughout the entire process; that, at times, I almost thought he was more excited for our wedding than we were! Having such a charismatic photography team really elevated the excitement throughout the entire day. He and his team had us giggling and crying tears of joy all day long. They may have been the most essential part of our day and the photos are absolutely stunning!

I used John Paul Studios photography, videography and djing for our big day and it was a perfect choice! John is very personable and outgoing and just made everything effortless! It rained unfortunately on the big day but John and his team worked around it and got some very good shots inside the hotel! I also really loved the little interviews they did during cocktail hour, going around to guests asking if they have anything to say to the newly weds! It was such a nice add to the wedding video! We also got our video and photos back very quickly!

I'm especially excited that you enjoyed the guest interviews during cocktail hour – those little messages always add such a fun and personal touch to the wedding video.
Thanks again for choosing John Paul Studios. Congrats and all the best to you both!

In preparation for the big day John and Adel were very responsive and answered every question I had. On they day they worked around us and utilized every moment we had with them. The entire team Adel, John, Matt, Andy, and Sam were committed to capturing every single second of our special day! The best way to end the day was dancing the night away with John in the DJ booth! Working with this team honestly felt like family it was so natural having them there. The exceptional finished pictures and video allow us to relive every minute which we will cherish forever.

Working with John Paul Studios was a great experience. We decided on our date in May, and our wedding was August 26th, so we didn't have a lot of time for planning. Luckily, John had a cancellation and was able to accommodate us. The process was smooth and EASY. John was always available to answer our questions and provide ideas when we needed help. We used John Paul Studios for our photography and DJ services. The music was great, and even when we had last minute changes, John was able to work with us. The pictures were awesome, and we were both very happy with how everything turned out.
Highly recommend John Paul Studios for the DJ and photography services!

We hired John Paul Studios for our DJ and Videography services. John and his team did a great job in being communicative prior to the wedding day, answering all of our questions, and being a great source of support during all of the planning stress! On our wedding day, his team was prompt and ready to go. John brought an amazing energy all day to both our wedding guests as DJ and as a videographer keeping myself, my husband, and bridal party amped up. He is such a charismatic and funny man who was great to have around on our wedding day! Afterwards, he kept in communication about our wedding video process and then delivered excellent videos that we will cherish for the rest of our lives. Thank you so much JPS! We are so glad you were a part of our day!

John Paul Studios was PERFECT for our wedding!! The price was reasonable, the quality was incredible, the final product was amazing.
Your videographer is going to be with you the entire wedding, and I can't say enough about how grateful we were to have someone as cool and professional as John with us on our special day. He truly felt like part of the wedding crew :)
If I could do it all over again, I'd absolutely rehire John Paul Studios - you won't be disappointed!

We used John Paul Studios for our wedding photos and couldn't be happier. We opted for 12hrs with 2 photographers and it worked out perfectly. John and Adel are were so in sync they made the day a breeze. We had multiple locations we wanted to pre-wedding photos at, and we wanted to get some photos from the afterparty. They had no issue with the multiple venues. We also had quite a few formal photos to get through and they were so organized we flew threw them. They were so friendly and professional. They really made us feel at ease. I would highly recommend them to anyone.

Wonderful and easy to work with photographer/videographer team! Their pricing was good, and I loved the package options, especially when it came to a second photographer, video, etc. They were very easy to work with throughout the entire process.
They were so kind and flexible it was amazing. We realized a few weeks before the wedding that the initial 8 hr. package we booked wasn’t going to be enough time. When we contacted them, they were quick to respond and we were able to add additional hours as needed.
Working with them was a wonderful experience, even when weather changes meant changing our locations/schedule entirely. When last minute delays made the reception start later than planned, they were able to stay over an additional hour to catch the dances, bouquet toss, etc.
Too soon to get the photos/video back, but I'm excited to see how they turn out! After working with John and Adele, I'm confident they captured the joy and fun of the day.

John and Adele were both phenomenal to work with. John is so easy to talk to and did an amazing job as our DJ! He kept the party moving and people on the dance floor! Adele was so easy to work with as our photographer. She got all the photos done that I requested with plenty of time to spare and stayed with us all night capturing anything and everything she could, I cannot wait to get our pictures back!

All I can say about John Paul Studios is...BOOK THEM!
We chose them for our daughter's wedding in April and couldn't be more pleased. John and Adel, his wife, treated my daughter, her husband and the wedding party with kindness and respect from start to finish. John was professional and fun loving, and his humor helped ease the tension of the busy day! Together, they produced an awesome video with drone footage, and special effects that amazed our family and friends. The photography was so beautifully done and edited that the pictures could be in Bride's magazine. Adel took special attention to detail in setting up each pose for the camera. She was so sweet and personable.
As the DJ, John chose music that was popular, and that people could easily dance to. From the ceremony to the reception, all the important moments we didn't want missed were captured in photo and film. The package price was also very worth it!

Absolutely the best investment we made for our wedding and we had a $60,000 budget for a 90 person wedding. We cannot say enough about the level of professionalism, quality, and kindness given to us my the whole crew from beginning to end. Our guests were taking about their crew long after the wedding. The quality of the drone video and the 800+ photos we received were perfection. If we have any other events this will be who we call.

I can not rave enough about John and Adel! They made my big day feel so special and showed such professionalism throughout the event. Not only were they a joy to be around, their talent shined through. I had a hard time finding photographers with experience shooting couples of color, but they were fantastic. As a bride, you want to be shown in the best light possible and they made sure that every shot accented my beautiful features. I truly appreciate the time that John and Adel put into setting up unique shots. They are a DREAM TEAM and I can't wait to see their amazing work up close. It was a joy to work with them and I hope to again in the future! You will not regret your choice to work with them. Just do it!
With High Regards,
Rebecca & Carlos

Covid bride here and this amazing duo did an amazing job at our wedding. They not only stayed and did the extra mile for me, they have also done a handful of other friends weddings.

They really sat down and got to know us on another level and see what exactly we envisioned for our day. Not only were they our photographers and videographers, John DJ’d at our wedding. They were so flexible and fun to work with. We could not have asked for a better team to help our visions become reality!

John and Adel from John Paul Studios were the most kind and skillful photographers we could have asked for! My husband and I absolutely adore our wedding photos.

John Paul Studios did a fantastic job with out photos. It ended up raining while pictures were being taken, and they took ever measure to keep us dry and to keep the pictures looking nice,even if it meant that they were getting soaked in the process. They had a fast response time with any questions that were asked and we received our pictures back in a timely manner. They are also very personable and make taking photos fun! We overall had a great experience working with this company.

We hired John and Adele to do our engagement photos, wedding photos, & wedding ceremony video. We are beyond happy we did!! From the first meeting they are great people and you can tell they have a passion for what they do!! Our engagement photos turned out amazing, we got so many compliments. We just recently got our wedding video and wedding photos back!! We couldn't have been happier. The video had a mix of songs we picked out- it was perfect, and even made me tear up! So thankful we decided to record it now we have those memories to look back on forever! The pictures were breathtaking, everything I could have wanted and more! They even went around the reception and took pictures of all the guests, that was so nice!! So happy we found and hired John & Adele, we are beyond thankful!

John and Adel were out photographers and DJ for our big day and quite honestly we couldn't have asked for a better couple to work with! From initial planning to the big day, they went above and beyond for us! John surprised us by bringing his camera on our big day to capture things from a different perspective than his wife Adel, and we cannot wait to see some of the photos here soon! Would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a photographer and DJ for their special day!

We had both John and Adel as our photographers as well as John as our DJ for the reception.They were very professional but at the same time had fun with us, making us feel completely comfortable. The photos came out amazing & we have over 600 that they put on DVDs for us to keep. The communication between us was nonstop, and they were always helpful with any questions we had.
John kept our guest dancing the entire night! My sister was in a wedding a month after ours and all she could say was how much better our music was. I would definitely recommend John Paul Studios to anyone and everyone!
