John did such an amazing job! I cannot thank him enough for the time and effort that he put into making our day everything it could be. Our flower girls were very young and the ability that he had to get them to look and smile at the camera was like none I had ever seen. A quick storm rolled in and cut some of the pictures short but you would NEVER know based on what we got. When the sun came out John made sure to pull us away quickly for a few fun shots. He captured things that I couldn't even remember. Our wedding was on Saturday and by Monday he had a sneak peek ready and posted. The amount of photos released in that sneak peak was more than I could ever imagine. I would HIGHLY recommend anyone to work with Secoges Photographics in any capacity that you may need!
John’s eye for detail and passion for photography made our day truly special. He was able to capture every moment of the day, from getting ready to the last dance. His energetic personality and ability to make everyone laugh made for great photos. His turnaround time for the preview was 2 days after the wedding. It was a nice surprise to wake up to on our honeymoon. Thank you John (and Kenny) for everything you did for us, the memories will last us a lifetime!
If I could give John 6 stars I would. My husband and I were married at stokesay in Reading, PA. We could not have been happier. It was a gloomy day and John made the best of it, our pictures turned out phenomenal. We also have had so many compliments from guests, friends, and co-workers about how fantastic our wedding photos were. Best part we had a sneak peak preview within days and all of our photos were delivered to us in just over a week. john is an all around amazing person with great talent. Very friendly, professional, and easy to work with.
John is easy to work with and gets shots that you didn't even know you wanted. He works really well with children and makes an effort to get to know the families and bridal party. He is always cheerful when he's seen, but he's often invisible and he's never in any way intrusive or disruptive. The pictures are amazing. We love them.
John was absolutely amazing. He was extremely fun to work with and professional -- His attitude helped set such a great atmosphere leading up to our wedding and actually helped us with the pre-wedding nerves. Even though it was 95 and humid, our whole bridal party had such a fun time taking pictures with him. He has such a great eye to get the perfect shots -- All of our pictures turned out absolutely AMAZING. They are breathtaking. We had a sneak peak back within 3 days of our wedding and were blown away.
If you are looking for a wedding photographer, use John and Secoges Photographics -- You will not be disappointed!!
Thanks so much for everything John!
John was extremely responsive, professional, and fun to work with throughout the entire planning process and our wedding day. The photos are gorgeous. John is truly a professional and has an eye for great shots, no matter the location. Even our wedding guests commented on his energy and passion. We have been to other weddings where the photographer was intrusive or looked as though they were just doing their job, but this was absolutely not the case with John. He brought positivity to every shot, and was excellent working with all our family members, from age 8 months to 91 years. We would highly recommend Secoges Photographics.
You must absolutely hire John for your wedding. I absolutely LOVED my pictures. He is extremely professional but also very personable and made the day fun. I had no specific ideas for pictures, but he got all the perfect shots. And he got them all quickly so we could spend time with our friends and family. You didn't even know he was there but he got all the perfect shots throughout the night. He got our pictures back to us super quick and I still keep looking over them again and again because they look FANTASTIC! Highly recommended!
John was very personable, thoughtful and creative. He didn't let anyone stress out. At one point they couldn't find any of the bouquets at the church. My fiance had the phone out and ready to call me (I was in the limo). John stopped him and then found the flowers. Crisis averted.
John Secoges is the best photographer you could get. He captured all the special moments of the most important day of our lives. He was very easy to work with. Great personality, very organized and prepared for any expected moments. My whole wedding party (including the guys) were very impressed on how he got the photos needed and still allowed the party to continue. Our whole day was unforgettable and I owe John a huge thank you for that... He is amazing!
I highly recommend him. We will definitely continue to use him for children's baptism and family portraits.
John was absolutely wonderful to work with. The quality of his work is outstanding, as is the turn around time for proofs, thank you cards, and prints. He got all of the photos we wanted, and they were all gorgeous. He really captured that "something special" that makes you go "wow" when you look at photos. I highly recommend him.
Working in a service related industry, I appreciated John Secoges' personalized customer service above all else! From, stepping up to drive me to the church in his own personal vehicle, when my limo cancelled, to going above and beyond on taking pictures in the snow for an extended period of time, etc. He was down to earth and friendly the entire day. He was never in any of our guests way and wasn't demanding while taking photos, which is another aspect I loved! My family will continue to use Secoges Photographics for any future photography work without a doubt.
I LOVE LOVE LOVED working with John Secoges for my wedding! He was very professional, helpful, personable, talented And one of the most reasonably priced photographers around. My husband and I were so happy with the results of our engagement and wedding pictures. John was very helpful in suggesting where to go to take pictures and did not mind you sending him ideas on poses that you wanted to have for the wedding day. My husband who hates to get his picture taken was more than satisfied with our pictures from our wedding. We both will use him again if we ever need to get family or any other type of pictures taken in the future! If you choose Secoges Photographics you won't be sorry!
Working with John was great from the first meeting through the wedding until getting the pictures. He was always very responsive during the planning and post wedding picture selection to emails. I thought he was great, but just as importantly the groom and groomsmen loved him. The photo process for weddings can obviously be long but all of the men raved about working with him and i was happy it wasnt a "chore" for them. I was extremely pleased with my whole wedding photography experience with John.
John was great to work with for our wedding! We loved his work, he was extremely friendly and knowledgeable, and he worked with us and our budget. Upon meeting John you will realize he absolutely LOVES what he does and he does not just have dollar signs in his eyes like most other event photographers. We were very pleased with our photos and surprised at how sneaky he was with getting such great shots and being unintrusive. We even were supplied with a recap video within 24 hours of the wedding. Everyone was very impressed.
John photographed my New Year's Eve wedding and did an amazing job. My groom is not comfortable In front of the camera but he was able to work with the groom and groomsmen to capture some great shots. I would definitely recommend him. My photos were available with 5 days!!!
John was such a class act, true gentleman. We met him only one time before our wedding in July of 2012. My husband and I booked him right there and checked that off of our long list of wedding to dos! We knew how seriously he took this and our wedding that we never had any hesitations. ( we met with several other photographers before him and we were both pleasantly relieved to finally meet someone polite and professional and reasonable) !! We opted out of getting engagement photos with him only because my hubby was diagnosed with cancer and was going through chemo at the time ( which he was in remission by our wedding and almost 2 years cancer free now!!) , but John worked with us and instead gave us extra time added to our wedding instead, he actually even ended up staying a little later than we agreed because he had a few other great shots he wanted to get for us!! We were so grateful for him. We were leaving for our honeymoon that Monday morning to Cabo and right before we boarded the plane I saw John had posted a slideshow with music to our special day ( less than 2 days later) and it was better than the videographer's short recap video that took 2 months to get back to us. It was beautiful and it was my favorite thing to send out to my family and friends after.
Also, I was so concerned about it raining on my wedding day because i realy wanted to get pics outside at my venue and the weather was switching back and forth all week. i wasnt getting married until 2pm in a catholic church so we were pressed for time. John made sure to get everyone in our bridal party to cooperate with him and we got every single picture outside and he knew exactly how much time we had to get it done without a drop of rain getting on the bride:) i really appreciated that and wish i didnt stress so much about it because he had that under control the whole time.
My hubby and I were so grateful to have John be apart of our wedding day :) thank you again John !!
John was an amazing addition to our list of wedding vendors. Not only was he kind and helpful during many phone calls before the wedding but his professionalism and attitude the day of the wedding did not go unnoticed.
I've been to many weddings where it is very obvious there is a photographer on site and seen them actually hold up the wedding party mid ceremony to get a good picture. Not John! Besides posing us for formal shots after the wedding you'd never know he was there.
I was married on Saturday and John stayed at the reception until about 9:30pm. Within 48 hours of our wedding we received our "sneak peak" video at some of the photos from the day then 72 hours after our wedding we received an email containing ALL 700+ photos. The photos were gorgeous and our venue even highlighted John's photography on their Facebook page the next day.
John is one of the best wedding and any other occasion photographers out there. He captures great shots that are priceless. I love all of my wedding photos and my custom album that he made at a very reasonable price. I also had John do my senior pictures way back when, engagement pictures, my sons newborn shoot and his Santa pictures every year. If you are looking for a great photographer for all occasions look no further!
Photography is one of the most important investments you can make for your wedding day. John of Secoges Photographics captured us as a couple, our friends, families and the details of the event beautifully. John was easy to work with before, during and after our wedding. Most importantly, he made the day stress free, while capturing all of the shots we wanted plus more! We are so appreciative to have beautiful and timeless photos to last a lifetime thanks to John and his artful work.
We also used Secoges Photographics for our photo booth! All of our guests LOVED this addition to the party (we did too!).
John was the absolute BEST! He captured everything I asked him to and then some! I am sometimes camera shy and he made me feel very comfortable and was totally helpful in the entire day. He transported my props to where we got our photo's taken between the Wedding and Reception. I trusted him totally and completely with all of his suggestions. I can not say enough how excellent he was. I highly recommend John for any special event photography needs you may have!
John Secoges did an amazing job as our wedding photographer. We were in contact with him throughout the planning process, and he was always prompt in responding to us. We met with him a few weeks before the wedding to discuss final details and timeline, and he was willing to incorporate any shots and groupings that we wanted. He was very personable, and made an effort to get to know us and each member of our bridal party to make them comfortable and have fun. He was especially great with our ringbearer, getting him to smile, and asking him to help if he didn't need him in a particular shot. His years of experience were evident in the way he moved from shot to shot and switched out people and locations to get the perfect photo. His brother-in-law also did our videography, which we were very pleased with as well. The turnaround for getting the proofs was very quick - we had the link to the photos online within a few days of the wedding, and within a week and a half we had the flashdrive with all the photos and the rights to print and post, as well as the dvd of the ceremony and reception. I would definitely recommend John Secoges for any of your photography needs!
I really try not to overuse the word perfect, because nothing is perfect...except my wedding pictures! I can't believe my husband and I have such beautiful photos!! John Secoges also has various wedding packages for all budgets. I was told by friends & coworkers I would have to spend $5,000 for a good photographer. Not true! Once the wedding day is over the flowers wilt, you can't wear the dress again and you won't remember every song the DJ played. You will always have your wedding pictures! A good photographer is so important and Secoges was the perfect photographer for our wedding day!
I could not have asked for more beautiful photos for my Spring 2012 Wedding! My cousin had used Secoges Photographics while I was a bridesmaid last year. John was amazing. He was patient, kind, timely and nothing short of professional. John was able to capture amazing pictures for my cousin and I knew right away, my husband and I wanted him to work with us for our Wedding. We met with John and we were able to create the Wedding Photo package we always envisioned. John arrived at my house the day of my Wedding and was simply amazing. John caught some great moments of me getting ready with my Mom, Dad, Bridesmaids and Flower Girls. I had two flower girls (age 4) and two ring bearers (ages 2 1/2 and 6). John was able to grab their attention and take some great pictures. Our proofs were online and ready to be viewed before we left for our Honeymoon two days later. John was nothing short of amazing and I highly recommend him to any Bride.
John Secoges took amazing photos at our wedding. He kept the formal pictures short and sweet (which is what I wanted). I received the proofs and video within 2 weeks. He does amazing work and captures really great moments. I would recommend him to anyone!! I loved working with him!!
Great photographs, very easy to work with. He even has a rubber ducky app for taking pictures with kids!
John was fabulous, reliable, quick to respond to all my questions. I couldnt have asked for better pictures, a better photographer, or a better experience. I would recommend him to anyone! The pictures were up within a day of the event, the video montage was amazing, and we couldnt have been happier with the pictures and memories he captured
We knew John was our man from day one! He was so pleasant and willing to do anything we wanted! He shot our engagement session which we receive soo many compliments on the uniqueness of the shoot! During our wedding...he was like superman!! He was everywhere and captured everything...his shots are so unique and perfect! He even made a Video which everyone is raving about!! he could not have captured my wedding more beautifully for me to remember! Thank you JOHN!!
He included engagement photos which was a great way to work with him before the wedding. He also takes great pictures. He is extremely accommodating and loves what he does. He also takes HUNDREDS of photos. I loved everything about this photographer.
