John Soule Photography

If I could give 10 stars I would, John Soule Photography is exceptional in every way! The responsiveness to emails and calls, the professionalism from John Soule and his team of photographers but especially the quality of their work. I can't say enough good things about this company. John and Berni were fun to work with, they gave pointers on how to capture the best poses, the engagement pictures all turned out great. Looking forward to working with them again at the wedding.

John and Bernie are an amazing team! There was an uninvited guest at my wedding in October 2022, Hurricane Ian. Unfortunately, the beautiful bayside sunset pictures my wife and I had planned were no longer able to be done (along with other pictures around the waterfront venue). We decided to book a bridal session with John for one year later (at a fantastic price!), fingers crossed the weather would hold this time, which it did! John and Bernie made the trip back out to our venue for the sunset pictures we were unable to capture last year. Since we didn't have a schedule to adhere to, we were able to take a variety of pictures on the water, on the beach, on the dock, and even on a boat. They made the experience wonderful, and we felt like we were right back in the middle of our celebration, but celebrating in private. The pictures turned out amazing and we cannot wait to finally see our wedding album put together by John. Thank you John!

Great photography and videography team. Very reasonable prices and great results. John was very responsive throughout the entire process whenever I had questions. The team captured our day beautifully. Dawn made great use of our bridal prep area for photos.

John Soule came to our house to meet us. Most impressive was the three photographers who each attended to specific parts of the wedding

John was super easy to work with and very accommodating to our schedule. Our engagement photos turned out beautiful and they make me even more excited to see our wedding photos. His prices are also very reasonable.

The engagement shoot was wonderful. Both photographers were super kind and knowledgeable. They gave us plenty of posing tips and tricks to make our photos turn out great and had a wonderful sense of humor.

We had a great experience with John and his team! They were very professional and easy to work with. They were quick to respond to all questions and took their work seriously. By far the best pricing in the area too!

We were SO grateful to John and his team for capturing our perfectly imperfect day so beautifully. John is proactive, communicative, open, transparent, down-to-earth and a guy with experience and a great, consistent team. Since my husband and I were planning our wedding from overseas on a pretty short timeline, John was very flexible and he and Bernie even met us at the rehearsal dinner to get aquatinted. His team of 3 photographers + videographer clearly work very well together and know their stuff. You know exactly who you’re getting, unlike some of the larger commercial businesses. We felt really comfortable talking to John and the team about who we are and what we wanted out of our wedding day photos. He allowed us to customize our package based on our needs and circumstances. We were absolutely thrilled with the result and they helped us make our day run smoothly. The photos are out of this world! I especially enjoyed having one of his female leads with me during the preparation part of the day. I would absolutely recommend John and his team!

John has been amazing from the beginning when I reached out to him months before our engagement shoot. He has continued to be very responsive and spent time to put together a list of top venues to take pictures in, as well as provided me with information about the area I was proposing. Both John and Berni made the actual photo shoot an amazing experience and took the time to make sure my fiancée and I were comfortable and informed of the different poses we could choose from. The photos were incredible and I cannot emphasize enough how impressed I am with the quality of the pictures and with how fast they were provided. I 100% recommend this team!

Absolutely loved working with John and his team! They were all extremely helpful with keeping us on schedule the day of and the photos were absolutely gorgeous! Could not recommend them enough to anyone looking for the best photography team.

We had the pleasure of working with John Soule and team for our wedding day and everything went absolutely wonderful! We chose to use both photography and videography services and had a full team of 3 photographers and 2 videographers for our day which we know were able to capture every moment and every angle possible. John even came to our rehearsal day to help scope out some possible photos for our wedding day and gave us some pointers on how to pose, dip, and overall what to expect. The wedding day itself went so smoothly, they arrived while we were getting ready in the morning to get some get ready shots. In the meantime, they were also taking close up shots of our rings, dress, and details so it didn't add any extra time. Dawn rode in the limo with us to the church to get some silly pics/videos of just the bridal party. We also had a first touch/first look before the ceremony. The ceremony went perfectly and Dawn rode again with just the bride and groom to get some shots in the limo, which we can't wait to see! At our reception, we got some more pics, and even one big group shot from a ladder which in turn got everyone on the dance floor. We had such a wonderful experience with this team and I would highly recommend them to anyone who wants exceptional service for their special day. We already received a couple of sneak peeks of our wedding which look absolutely stunning! We were in great hands with John Soule and team and were so lucky to have found them on The Knot!

John and his team were great to work with. During the initial intro conversation John walked us through the full process and answered all our questions. We liked that an engagement shoot was included in the package as it allowed us to get some experience ahead of the wedding day. The team was enjoyable to work with on the day off and accommodated our requested shots and when we were ready to move on from the posed photos. Throughout the entire process, John was very responsive at answering my questions via email. I would highly recommend working with them.

I highly recommend John Soule Photography for any event you may have! John was responsive to all communications, easy to coordinate logistics, and identify desired requirements for our wedding event. John and Berni took many photos, with attention to details in posing, arranging dress, centering people, placement of arms, etc. He and Berni were organized, patient with gathering our various guest groupings, very respectful and professional in the religious setting. The quality of the results was excellent, we were very happy with our photos.

John was awesome! He was able to work with my timeline and got my engagement pictures back within 24 hours!

Amazing team to work with! John and his team were amazing to work with! Spot on with timing and the photos we wanted! Friendly and professional! Great to work with on a busy day! If I have a need for a professional photographer in the future, this is the team I’d rely on!

John was very easy to work with and the pictures were beautiful, I definitely recommend them.

They were so helpful during the whole planning process and the day of! Helped stay on schedule and made my day the best it could be

Definitely the right service for the right price! Easy to work with, great communication and even better photos. They made our wedding, one we can always remember. A+++++

John and his assistant were fantastic! My fiance and I had just moved back to Baltimore area and were looking to get engagement photos in the city. He gave great instructions for how to pose and took overall beautiful photos. We left feeling like we had fun and learned something about how to pose better for photos, which we are sure will be helpful for our actual wedding. John was also able to flexibly work around a few "hiccups" that were out of all of our control, e.g., none of us knew that there would be a marathon happening the morning of our photos, haha! But he was able to help figure it out nonetheless and we are very, very pleased with the photo results. We are super excited to share them with family for the holidays. We would definitely recommend him to others for engagements, weddings, etc!

My fiancé and I couldn’t be more happy with John and his team! They were very honest, very easy to work with and just overall fun! My fiancé and I haven’t gotten out photos personally done in YEARS. John and his team member, Bernie, were so patient with us and were wonderful in helping us out in poses. They are just amazing! And the pictures…. BREATHTAKING! I cannot wait to see what this team does for our wedding in March!

Our experience with John and Bernie was nothing short of amazing! We've only had our engagement session done, but we 100% know, without a doubt, that he will deliver the best photographs at our megamony next year. He is very easy to work with, and is very knowledgeable and experienced in his field. He came prepared with a list of excellent poses for us, and his ideas and editing were breathtaking. The second best part, is he will fit well within the budget. We are getting 3 photographers for the price of 2! We are very pleased with our engagement photos and look forward to working with him and his staff at our megamony. Update 04Oct2022: Our wedding weekend has come and gone, and as we expected, John's team delivered! The weather was not what we were hoping for, unfortunately a hurricane came up the coast and sent lots of wind and rain our way in Annapolis, MD. However, John's team was very accommodating with all the last minute changes we had to do since outside pictures were no longer an option. Even when I forgot to mention to John a change in plan of where the groom would be to start, he was able to quickly get everything back on track. His team also made sure to get all the shots on the list I sent over before the wedding, even though I anticipated not having time for everything. They even threw in a lot of suggestions that are going to turn out amazing and I cannot wait to get the full package. We even forgot about one thing, and if it hadn't been on our list, we would have missed it. Thank you John, Bernie, and Dawn for an amazing night and capturing each moment!

John and Berni (his assistant) were great. We had a video meet and greet and John explained everything about his photography and what to expect. We had to reschedule our engagement shoot three times due to weather but this was done without an hassle at all. The evening of the shoot, we met downtown Baltimore. It was very relaxed and fun, John and Berni were professional and put us at ease immediately. The photographs are outstanding and we cannot wait to see how our wedding photographs will turn out.

John and his team are GREAT! Engagement photos were included in the package we selected which was a good opportunity to meet and get a feel for each other. We had a great time. We also had some family portraits taken which gave our bridal party an opportunity to work with John and his team prior to the wedding. During our wedding, they were with us every step of the way to the very end of the night. My wedding was 9/4 and I received proofs for review 9/9. Mr. Soule has been very responsive, informative and professional. I highly recommend him and his team.

John Soule Photography did such an amazing job! My husband and I don’t take a lot of pictures of ourselves so we were kind of worried how they would turn out. But they blew it out of the water from the second we met them till they left. (They gave us pointers to smile the whole time and how to pose.) We are amazed how well the pictures turned out. They captured every moment so perfectly. We highly recommend them. I would also like to add that we got all our pictures back in 4 days which was really nice. The teasers just kept us wanting too see more. Thank you so much we love all the pictures.

We had such a lovely experience working with John and Berni. They exceeded our expectations with our engagement photos and wedding photos. When the pandemic hit they were extremely accommodating, patient and professional, they even gifted my kids with toys which they loved. I would highly recommend anyone to work with them, they really captured the best moments and the results when we saw our photos were amazing.

John Soule and his team were incredibly wonderful to work with. They are very personable and extremely knowledgeable in their gift. As an avid photographer myself, I can attest to the phenomenal job they do. Their communication was professional and they were organized during our walk through and day of the wedding. Having more than one photographer to cover those important moments was invaluable in capturing every angle and facial expression in the moment. Just having poignant images of my walk down the aisle from multiple perspectives was incredible and their unobtrusive style during the ceremony was appreciated. My husband and I especially appreciated the special images John captured – they are true works of art we will forever cherish. John’s team are a wonderful asset to anyone’s wedding day!

Absolutely fantastic team to work with!! John and his team were amazing. Team was super responsive leading up to the day of the wedding in helping us prepare for a smooth day. Turn over for photos was super quick and they turned out better than I could have expected!! I would 1000% recommend for your big day.

What a wedding my fiancé and I had and it’s all thanks to John Soule and his amazing photography team who were so professional and passionate about what they do! Our photos turned out absolutely amazing and were ready just days after our wedding. I am so thankful to have hired John and recommend him highly!

Our wedding pictures turned out beautiful!

We did a lot of research on different photographers and landed on John Soule photography. As someone who is not a picture taker, I was hesitant heading into my engagement shoot. With that said, the shoot went incredibly smooth. John was clearly knowledgeable and an expert in the field of photography. He made me and my fiancé fully comfortable during the engagement session. And most importantly, the photos turned out amazingly well. We can't wait to use them to help design our save the dates!

I had a wonderful engagement session with John Soule Photography. He was on time and brought forth many ideas and different shots. He was willing to try any additional pose or scenery I liked, and even gave me my engagement photos the very next day!

John and Bernie were absolutely amazing from start to finish they were very professional, friendly, patient and excellent humor. My 80yrs old father whom walked me down the isle expressed in all his years he never met a more professional friendly photographers.. Every one at our wedding expressed the same. We just had a chance to review our gallery and are beyond impressed.. If you are looking for the best photographers for excellent price We highly recommend John Soule Photography.

John and Berni were incredible! They were extremely professional and organized. They did the most amazing day after pictures and I especially liked how John and Berni worked together to get us the best shots. It wasn't just like a rush job or a let's just get this over with thing. They really put their heart into making ART for their clients. We will have these memories for the rest of our lives and our kid's lives. We are so thankful. Can't wait to book them for maternity pictures. :) A bigger thanks couldn't be had. Stop reading reviews and hire them now!

John and his team were a joy to work with before, during and after our wedding. John made getting ready so easy - he helped coordinate a timeline, gave instructions for us and our bridal party on how to pose, and helped us put together a shot list for our family photos. He thought of things that I wouldn't have thought of. His team took SO many beautiful shots that it's incredibly difficult to choose our favorites for posting and printing. He was also so nice and accommodating in fitting things in we requested. He and his team were also just so fun to be around - they matched our vibe (including our groomsmen's silly photo requests), making for perfect photos that really fit who we are. I'm so thankful we found him, as I wasn't worried about photos at ALL on our wedding day. I knew everything would go swimmingly, and it did. My husband and I strongly recommend him! We look forward to going back to him the next time we're looking to photograph a big life event.

John and his team captured every special moment on my wedding day! They did an amazing job and I'm so grateful for them!

John and his crew were the absolute best! From consultation to the day of they showed nothing but professionalism. I have to say, the reason we chose them is the fact that they showed passion in what they do. We did a lot of research looking for the styles we liked but after meeting them I felt very comfortable that we had definitely made the right decision. They were there for our rehearsal to map out the grounds and see what the plan was which helped for the day of. All of the crew were amazing (John, Berni, Dawn, & Ben). Super respectful, friendly, and all over the place to capture every moment! I highly recommend John Soule!!! Very very pleased!

John and his team is amazing. I just got married on 10/2/20, and I can not wait for the pictures and albums. John works quick on getting pictures about you to. Today 10/3/20, I have received over 10 teaser pictures of the night before. They look amazing. John and his team did my engagement photos as well. I would highly recommend John for your photography needs.

John and his team were absolutely wonderful. We used their service for our engagement photos and for our wedding. My husband and I highly recommend John Soule Photography for any and every event. They are so easy to work with and they make taking photos so much fun. They give very clear instructions (which my husband and I really appreciate).

We started working with John Soule prior to the pandemic. We had to postpone our wedding, and when we were able to have it, we still had many restrictions in place. John and the team were wonderful with helping us to transition to a new date, drafting up a new timeline, and working within the restrictions we had. In particular, the best man needed to strictly social distance, and John did a great job creatively getting him in pictures with the other guys, even with him being 6 feet apart. They were very well prepared, and even came to our rehearsal to scout out the venue before hand and give the bridal party a few tips! They also helped us develop a shot list so that we didn't forget anything on the day of. With three shooters, John's team was able to get every moment (including when the bride ran and jumped into my arms during our first dance). They also got photos back to us so quickly! We even got a few teaser photos late the evening of the wedding as well as the next morning! We highly recommend John Soule if you are looking for a photographer for your event.

This photography team is absolutely AMAZING! From the quick responses, suggestions, help with timelines and sneak peak photos sent sometimes within hours after being taken! They are so professional and the pictures speak for them selves. The attention to detail and coordinating was truly next level. John, Bernie and Dawn did an awesome job at capturing our special day and I would recommend them to EVERY bride! Would go with them 10x time again.

You will not be disappointed in John and his team! They were absolutely amazing from the very start. From the very first meeting with them I was impressed and didn't even go check out other photographers. I would highly recommend John and his team they did an amazing job with everything. Worth every penny that we spent!!! You won't regret choosing John Soule and his A+ Team!!! They go above and beyond.

From our first meeting with John all the way through the final shots at our wedding, my wife and I were very impressed and could not be happier for choosing John to capture our special day. We met with 4 different photographers before deciding, and John was the only one who really did his homework of our venue and how he wanted to capture our day and presented it to us in a very professional and impressive manner. His communication was top notch, especially with all the changes COVID threw at us. His ideas/suggestions regarding best locations/poses for pics turned out to be perfect as we have already received 6 teaser pics only 2 days after our wedding that look amazing! My wife and I could not be more pleased with John and his team, and I know we will recommend them to friends, and we will use them again for any future professional photography needs! Overall, an A++ experience.

Thank you so much for capturing our special day beautifully! You and your team made this a day to remember!

John Soule and staff are the nicest people to work with. Their choreography was unmatched with their attention to details, by taking everything into consideration to capture the most special and fleeting moments without interfering. Prior to our initial meeting, John researched the venue locations to observe the natural elements and visualize how they would play on the big day. The team joined the bridal party at the venue the night before to get a feel for the space and prepare and plan for what was expected. They worked flawlessly within the schedule, and managed the bride's extensive list of shots with ease. John's technical knowledge of the art was adapted to capture the joy filled moments of a very personal event. We look forward to working with John again for special family occasions!

John and his team were by far my favorite vendors. They made two incredibly awkward people feel like we weren't complete fools. He and his whole have a very calming and professional demeanor. He is super quick at returning photos. The first photos came in the night of the wedding!!

John was professional from start to finish, him and his team were great. From day 1 we trusted him with our special day and we’re so glad. They took amazing pictures and gave suggestions and tips on what would look good. I would highly recommend him and team for your occasion.

My fiancé and I just had our engagement photos done, and we weren’t quite sure what to expect. John and his team made the entire process very fun and easy going. John went above and beyond my expectations and captured some amazing shots! I’m so happy with the way these photos turned out, and I can’t wait to see the ones he will take on our wedding day!!!

John and his team are hands down the best photographers we could have had on our big day. They stayed with me as COVID changed my wedding plans, to a new date (one month push back) and a smaller guest list. They remained calm, cool, collected and professional through the entire situation! I cannot thank them enough for this!! On our big day, the entire team showed up ready to make our day magical. They were able to catch moments that I honestly don't remember and I was so happy to see them caught on film. They made my husband and I so comfortable throughout the entire day and we now have photos to look back on that are phenomenal. We have 1,000 photos to look back on and remember our wedding day and I never expected to have that many moments captured. Honestly, our photos look like something out of movie. I can't recommend this team enough. If you are getting married, this is the best team around to have by your side!!

We have not had a lot of experience with professional photographers but John and his team were very impressive. They were on time, competent, confident, flexible and did all they possibly could to ensure our special day was amazing! My husband and I were very impressed with their quality of work, the turnaround for getting pictures and I don't think anyone can beat the price. All around a great choice and one of the best decisions you can make for your special event. We highly recommend them!!

My husband and I hired John Soule and his experienced team to photograph our wedding. The photographs were spectacular. They looked as if they were in a magazine. They were very easy to work with and allowed us to customize our wedding portfolio. We wouldn't have wanted anyone else to capture our special day. - Mr. and Mrs. Adams

John Soule and his team were an outstanding choice for our daughter's large wedding. They were prepared in every way to ensure that we had coverage of the entire experience: the most beautiful moments between the bride and groom, the love and pride felt by the parents, and the joy and excitement of the wedding guests. And of course, the party! Working with John has been a genuine pleasure and I would recommend him to anyone who wants beautiful memories preserved forever in photographs. Thanks John!

John was an absolute pleasure to work with (and the two ladies he brought with him) for my wedding! He stayed in contact with me right from the start and emailed me all the way up until my wedding day. We had a meet up at my wedding location where he came very prepared with pictures of the venue he had taken the day before of sites we should take pictures at on our big day. He also created a timeline of exactly what pictures should be taken and roughly how long it would take (walking from ceremony to bridge, etc.). John was very attentive and I could not have asked for a better photographer to capture my big day! Thank you John for your beautiful pictures! A year later and we are just now picking out which ones we like the best!

They were EXTREMELY professional. They took photos I never thought of and got pics of family we hadn't seen for several years. We got samples the same night to which were extremely pleased. They captured a side of us that was unforgettable. Moreover, they caught - what turned out - the last photos of my husband's cousin who passed away soon after the wedding. Both my husband and I were and are very pleased.

I am updating my previous review because I would like others to know how amazing John and team were on my wedding day. I got married a little under three weeks ago (3/10) and have already received my wedding album, a little over 650 pictures (he initially took ~1600). I was VERY impressed with how fast I have received the pictures as I know other photographers take weeks to get them back to you. Let me tell you. Every single picture looks amazing. I would absolutely recommend John to capture your wedding shots :) After contacting over 15 different photographers, my fiancé and I decided on going with John Soule as our wedding photographer and I am so excited that we did! After exchanging a few emails, we had our first consultation with John. John was even accommodating as we had to reschedule our initial consultation due to my fiancé coming down with the flu. When we had our consultation, John was organized and very professional. He was able to show us some of the different types of edits he is able to do to the pictures, and showed us a sample timeline (down to the minute!!) of the wedding day. His organization is one of the main reasons we decided to go with John. From the time we were in first contact to the time we had our engagement shoot was about a month. My fiancé and I had our engagement shoot on Sunday 11/12. We were even able to incorporate our dog into some of the pictures, which definitely meant a lot to us. After the engagement session we went to dinner and by the time we got home we had a couple teasers waiting in my email for us! I was expecting the pictures to start coming in a couple days, not a few hours. We got the rest of our proofs by the time I woke up today 11/14. John has exceeded our expectations and we are so excited to have him shoot our wedding day. I HIGHLY recommend John to those who are still searching for a wedding photographer.

5 stars! We have been working with John and his team for awhile now and we're never disappointed. He's great! Not only was he there on our wedding day, but for several other events and milestones we've wanted documented. Perfection everytime! Thank you for your consistancy, professionalism and expertise. We'll call you again soon!

John is an AMAZING and extremely talented photographer! I will never work with another photographer again. My husband and I had been looking for months for the perfect photographer and had't quite found what we were looking for (I am very picky having a photography background myself). I love that not only does John have state of the art photography equipment (a must have), but he has such a creative eye; he was very professional too and went to great lengths to make sure he knew my "vision". He was wonderful scheduling mini meetings and e-mailing back and forth with all the questions I had. He was quick to respond and even didn't mind all my questions (thank you). His work is wonderful and he made my day so special. Wow - my photos are outstanding and so beautiful. I love the dramatic affects and his work was more than I could have asked for. Thank you so much for all of your time in working with my husband and I (and our family). He was so great that we have hired him several times after our first session to take not only maternity photos, but newborn photos, and photos of our growing family as well. He is our go-to-photographer and will be for years to come. THANK YOU!

Working with John and his team was an absolute pleasure, they are extremely professional, organized and the quality of the shots are top notch

John is very awesome in working with other vendors and properly orchestrated timing in order to capture everything else that goes on behind the scenes for a successful wedding. I definitely enjoyed working with him and would refer him to anyone in need.

John and his team define professionalism. They captured our wedding in a way that showed the love between my Wife and I and the love we were showered with from friends and family. Definitely will use again.

My wife and I are extremely happy with our experience with John Soulé Photography, and want to record our satisfaction not just with the final product (wedding photographs) but with the excellent professional service provided from beginning to end. Mr. Soulé and his top notch team are talented, polite, reliable, and a pleasure to work with. They are very organized; they communicate very well; they guided us through the entire process; and their pricing is affordable and much lower than other professional photographers if you take into consideration the quality of their work and service. Thank you, John and team, for the superb service, and for capturing all of our memories. You are highly recommended, and we will request your services again in the future.

John and his team were absolute professionals. Really captured our wedding in a way that showed the love between my husband and I and the love we were showered with from friends and family. I would definitely refer him to anyone.

My daughter and I hired John for her wedding, and we couldn't be happier that we did! John went far above and beyond what we ever expected of him. He was in constant contact with us during the entire process, and was extremely detail-oriented. John impressed us from the start, patiently working in my daughter's hyper golden retriever into their engagement shots--certainly no easy feat! Even in the final week before the wedding, John braved the DC/NoVA traffic to visit the venue and take test shots with the bride and groom in preparation for their big day. You can definitely tell that John loves his work. But most importantly to me, my daughter and new son-in-law simply loved him! I wholeheartedly recommend John Soule and his team for all of your photography needs!! I do not envy my daughter for now having to go through the many hundreds of quality photos that he took, and somehow picking only 50 for the wedding album!!
