John Richmond Photo was great! I was hesitant about doing engagement pictures because it wasn't initially in my plan given that we had photos done at the proposal, but I am very ha...
ppy that he includes engagement photos in his packages. It gives you a chance to meet him in person and work with him prior to the wedding day. On the actual wedding day he was very upbeat, energetic and engaging which is nice to have around on a day that can be stressful and involves a lot of people. He was able to get us a few photos within a week of our wedding and we received the full album shortly there after. All of the photos turned out so well and we received so many compliments on them (especially the sunset pics) after we sent out our Thank You notes, which John also designed. I would definitely recommend working with John. His price is reasonable and you get so many beautiful timeless pictures.
John Richmond was an absolute delight to work with! He took amazing engagement and wedding photos. He's very friendly and was more than willing to go the extra mile (he even helped...
bustle my dress during the wedding). I would definitely recommend him to friends and family.
SO thrilled we found John after changing photographers twice already - first due to 4x jump in price during virus-years and the second due to insisting on the mask-charade even in ...
2022!
John was a breath of fresh air! Laid back. Warm. Kind. Direct. We got our pictures back quickly and have loved creating our album, wedding art and thank you cards with them. He captured our big day (at last after 4 reschedules!) and the pictures are full of joy, love and laughter. Thank you, John!
John was AMAZING!!! He was professional, funny, got along with everyone! He took the time to get certain angels I would never think about! He made sure to include every detail of t...
he wedding, venue, land, the house we stayed in. The photos turned out better than we imagined!! John knows how to remove the stress from a very high stress situation, which is very important! Our florist (that he met that day) even wants to use him for their events! I highly recommended this guy for any photography events!!
We had the pleasure working with John in the summer of 2021 for our downtown Detroit wedding. John is a one of a kind photographer not only bringing his outstanding skills to the ...
table but he really took the time to get to know us and have fun with our wedding party on the day of the wedding. We still up to this day get compliments from our wedding party on how we had the best photographer. John is the life of the party and made every part of our day special from start to beginning! He took every vision we had and brought it to life and exceeded our expectations. You can tell he really loves what he does and our pictures could not have been any better!
You’ll want John as your photographer!! He is the best in the business! He has an eye for detail like you wouldn’t believe. Both our engagement photos and our wedding photos turned...

We booked John for our wedding at Lafayette Grande on 9/22/2018. John is simply the best! We initially met John at a pub to go over what we were looking for and within 3 minutes of...
talking we knew we found our photographer. His photography is without a doubt amazing! He captures moments that you wouldn’t even know were there. He is extremely fun, outgoing, and easy to work with. He made every feel comfortable, would joke with us (he is on his game with movie quotes haha), and make sure every detail of the photos were perfect! We wanted a simple but unique take on our photos and that’s exactly what we received. He is a true professional as well as his assistant, Jenn. They are a great team! They coordinated with the venue, the DJ, and out bridal party to make sure we were stress free. They even went above and beyond during the wedding and took on other tasks outside of their profession to help our day go smoothly and perfectly! We are so grateful that we booked JOHN RICHMOND PHOTOGRAPHY for our wedding.
Simply put... professional, fun, friendly, and affordable! We highly recommend John for any of your photographer needs for any event!
John was my absolute favorite vendor! Not only are his pictures amazing and have exceeded my expectations, John is a great person to work with. I personally hate taking pictures an...
d he made me feel so comfortable with the whole process. His personality is fun and outgoing and he really makes sure that he captures every shot you are hoping for and then some! His partner Hannah helped him shoot my wedding and she was amazing as well! She even helped me carry around my dress while we were taking pictures outside so it would not get dirty! I highly, highly recommend John for your photography needs!
John did an amazing job at our wedding last week. He took the time to make sure I got all the photos I wanted, and was flexible at the same time. He is a true professional, and ...
I will be sure to recommend him to anyone who is looking for a great photographer.
If you are look for a very traditional photographer then John and his staff are a good company to go with. We were looking for some new, fun, different, creative shots and unfortua...
ntley we did not get that. We also paid for 2 photographers and I felt like the second photographer was a complete waste of money. We told Teresa in the beginning that we like candid shots that no one is posing for. Well the only pics like that are from the dance floor. At the reception that are no pics of family if they were not dancing. I feel like SO many more different photos could have been taken. Teresa and the other photographer were nice but you could tell they did not have to much experience. Also, dont expect your wedding album to arrive until 6 months after your wedding! After we picked our album we were told 3-5 weeks...well 3 months later we finally recieved our album. In addition John is not very accomodating. After waiting all this time you will most likely have to drive to his house to pick up the album. Overall I was disapointed in the service, follow up and creativity of pictures. John and his staff are nice it just seems like he is preoccupied with other things then a successful photography business.
Thanks.
John and his assistant Teresa are great to work with and do an amazing job! Teresa photographed out wedding, the pictures she took and John edited were beyond my expectations. Very...
easy to work with and I would high recommend them!
The pictures of my daughter and her husband on their wedding day reflected them so well that I feel like I'm intruding on private moments when I look at them. Theresa captured th...

John really was a perfect fit for us when planning our wedding. He was always honest and upfront with us, and we never felt like he was pitching a sale - which was a big relief af...
ter dealing with some other vendors. we really enjoyed the engagement photo session and the amount of time he put into the day to get in all of the different locations that we wanted to go to. The day of the wedding, the entire wedding party had a blast during the pictures. John was very engaging and did a great job of staying fun, but professional throughout the wedding. And at the end of it all, the photos turned out amazing! We really couldn't be happier with our choice of photographer!
John is an AMAZING photographer! I would recommend him to anybody who is looking for quality photos and someone who catches ALL the special moments! From the first meeting with wi...
th John we loved him and were SO excited to have him be our photographer! Our wedding photos are amazing!!
fun and friendly personality that meshed with everyone at the reception and in the wedding party, to make photos easier to take.
Great to work with! Very fun to be around! Nice pictures.
