John was an absolute delight to work with. I hired him and Ashley for my wedding. My wedding was on a busy, but beautiful October weekend in 2024 at the Renaissance Hotel in center city Allentown. Between the two of them, they did videography and photography for 13 hours. We got the photos and videos back in a quick amount of time. John was very easy to communicate with. I could text him any time with concerns and he would get back to me quickly. We also did an engagement shoot with him for free as part of hiring him for the wedding. He was open to speak with about any concerns and never made me feel bad about it. In fact, he encouraged me to ask away and be informed as much as possible for my special day. I appreciated that a lot. John made sure all the events of the day go smoothly as well as made sure the shots we wanted got done and got done perfectly with everyone we wanted on time. With our schedule, that was exceptionally hard to do. So, I was impressed to say the least as it showed his long he has been in the wedding photography and videography business when he pulled this off. He was open to any suggestions I had for certain shots as I have a passion for photography as well. On the big day, Ashley and him were truly on their A game. Many guests had told us the same throughout the day. Some thought they didn’t even eat as they were constantly around best and far shooting away. They were also very respectful shooting in the church for our ceremony, which was a concern for me. From 9 AM to 10 PM, we had a long day and a tight schedule with a checklist of shots we wanted prepped for both of them to refer to. He never said my list was too long or thought I was too asking for too much. He helped me prioritize the list and made it all fit into the day. John was professional, kind, and kept everything running smoothly while getting all the shots we wanted for the big day. He truly felt like part of the wedding party. He made me feel so beautiful as the bride on my big day when taking portraits and getting ready photos. His talent truly shined in the photos and video he gave us. He knew how to pose us and the right spots for certain lighting so shots came out perfect every time. He also knew how to have use props we wanted to use so the photos came out the way we wanted them. The photos he took of us truly made us shine and show who we are as a couple as well as individuals when we were doing portraits. He would feel the room throughout the day and went with the flow while keeping us on schedule. He was great with not catching the glare on my glasses too, which in the past with any other photographer had been a huge issue and disappointment. He also caught the best candid and genuine shots of everyone having the best time at the reception as well as the most wholesome moments during the ceremony and first look. He even gave me raw footage for my father who wanted all the speeches and dances on film to keep as a memory forever as the father of the bride. If you need wedding photography and/or videography done, please hire this guy as soon as you can! I implore that you make this guy part of your team for the big day. His work speaks for itself. He is worth every penny. He truly loves what he does and will make 100% sure that all of your wedding is captured and treasured forever. We will love and always be eternally grateful for him! We will treasure his work forever.
I first met John when I needed to get professional headshots for work. Being weary about posing in front of a camera, John made the experience so comfortable and fun, and the photos turned out so natural looking. Fast forward years later, I reached out to see if John was available to photograph my wedding. He met with my fiance and me to get to know us as a couple and learn our wants for the big day. We decided on the photography and videographer package, and we could not be more please with the outcome. We are now able to relive the day over and over through the beautiful moments captured of us and our guests. John, we cannot thank you enough for your amazing talents!
John and Ashley were absolutely amazing, from start to finish they were great to work with, John worked non stop all day and helped me feel calm and confident getting pictures done. If you are getting married in the Lehigh Valley 100% go with JR Photography.
I am the last person to write a review, good or bad. But John and his team is absolutely amazing and felt that I had to due to the fact that this man and his team made me and my now wife feel the most comfortable even though we are camera shy. When we booked the package included engagment photos where we met John at a beautiful park. John captured the moments that me and my wife and I connected as if the camera was not there. We walked away saying this was going to be our wedding photographer without a doubt. He got to know us through the wedding and was very informative for his website and all the pictures we wanted. We added the video package also after we saw a couple that he did. It is absolutely a must-have! John and his team are a must-have. I'm sure there are other good photographers out there, but John is absolutely hands down the best. Thank you to John and your team for making me and my wife so happy from our engagement photos to wedding pictures. I should have mentioned this we started receiving our wedding pictures 2 weeks after our wedding, absolutely amazing service. Thank you, John and team. Thank you Dan.
John was an absolute dream to work with! My husband and I both cannot stand being photographed, so finding a photographer to help ease our comfort levels was a daunting task. Until we met John! When we first met up to take our engagement pictures, John was able to "direct" us and helped us find poses that were natural to who we are as individuals and as a couple. We knew from the start, John would be the best person for our special day. In May of 2020, my husband and I had to make the decision to postpone our July 2020 wedding to July 2021, and out of all of our vendors, having John still be there with us was our number one priority.
On the day of our wedding, John captured every detail, every moment, everything. He was there all day with us, and even stopped eating his meal to take a picture of us with a rainbow that had appeared. John went above and beyond for us in every single way. Looking back at the pictures, I feel as if I can relive the day perfectly, because the photos are gorgeous and tell our wedding story without missing a beat.
When my husband and I found out that we were expecting and due in May of 2022, we both had this gut feeling that if we had any family portraits done, John was our guy- and once again- John went above and beyond for us. I cannot stress enough how much I recommend John and his talent!
John was recommended through a friend for our wedding. We felt so comfortable with him. We were ecstatic when we received the photos. They were absolutely amazing. We love John’s work so much we have even hired him to take our family photos. I highly recommend John!!
LOOK NO FURTHER BRIDES! Not only are JR Photography prices the most reasonable for wedding planning, John is an incredible photographer and the absolute BEST! He did both our engagement & wedding photos and made the experience fun, relaxing, and picture-perfect. We had a huge bridal party, and John did a fantastic job managing all of our friends & family in the coordinated photoshoots before, during & after our wedding. He also capture the most beautiful moments during our special day and we even forgot he was there! John came early in the morning while we were getting ready, stayed through the ceremony and stayed through most of the reception (this was over a 12 hour day for him) and he did it with a smile on his face. The best part, was that he was just as excited as my husband & I to be going through the engagement & wedding process! You can tell he loves his job & truly enjoys experiencing the wedding event(s) WITH you and your entire bridal party.
I think it's too early to renew our vows, but if we ever need professional photos again, John will be our first call!
We hired John after seeing the amazing photos he took for my best friend’s engagement photos. John is one of the most kindest, flexible, and professional photographers you will ever meet. He made sure to capture all the magical moments of our wedding day. I would 1000% recommend John to anyone.
John was absolutely amazing. He truly cares about every detail. He made our special day stress-free! He took care of it all and we just had fun. He did not miss any moments! I absolutely 100% recommend John!
The best choice I made for my wedding was hiring JR Photography. John was so fun to work with and the pictures came out absolutely beautiful. On a day when you’re nervous and 1,000 things are going on at once, you want someone professional who you know will get the job done right while also making you feel calm and at ease. He was so creative and I honestly feel like my wedding pictures are cooler than almost everyone else I know. Two of my good friends also used him for their weddings, and we were all thrilled with the experience!
We were so fortunate to have John as our photographer for not only our wedding, but also my bridal shower, and our engagement pictures. John’s photographs are absolutely stunning and so unique! We are married 3 and a half years and we still say how incredible our pictures are. John is so easy to work with and a kind, friendly person. The turn around to get all of our pictures was quick as well! We highly recommend John, you will not be disappointed!
John was incredible for our wedding and engagement shoot! Everyone was over the moon with our pictures. It’s 3 years after we got married and we STILL go back and look at them and print them. John wants to create those memories for you and will do anything possible to get the best shots for your day. We would choose him again and again! Seriously look no further and book him if you want someone who will go above and beyond for your special day!
I absolutely loved working with John and his team. He is such an incredible soul! I was very nervous and he kept me calm the entire day. I actually looked for him when I started to feel overwhelmed. John made the process stress free and just perfect. My entire bridal party and family also loved working with him and his team. I recommend 1,000%. Look forward to the future where I can work with him again! He is also partnered with an incredible DJ. The 2 came in 1 package AS WELL as a video! 1 stop shop. Perfect for weddings!! Thank you for making my day so incredibly perfect John!!
