About John Barone Photography

John Barone Photography

Owner

I began my photo career in the commercial world. I photographed for many ad agencies, fashion clients and magazines. When I segued into the wedding world, I brought that style of fashion photography and lighting with me.

I truly feel that relationships are key to excellent photos. My clients become my friends, leading up to, during, and after their weddings. I don't ever want to work with a couple that refers to me as their photographer. I want them to drop the formal vendor/client wall. I'm just John and we are gonna have fun. I promise.

He Captured the Soul of Our Day

We can’t recommend John Barone Photography enough! From the very first meeting, John stood out. He spent a full hour with us, patiently answering every question, and kept in touch with quick, helpful guidance throughout our planning. Just a few days before our wedding on 5.25.2025, he even reached out on his own to review our schedule, that kind of thoughtfulness gave us so much peace of mind. On our wedding day, John and his second shooter, Denida, were absolutely incredible. They kept everything running smoothly, handled a last-minute big family photo with zero stress, and brought such a calm, positive energy to the day. They even worked magic with the kids in our wedding party - jumping, making funny noises, whatever it took to get those perfect smiles. And the photos…wow. John’s style is stunning. Every shot is vibrant, crisp, and full of life, yet nothing feels staged. The portraits are elegant and cinematic, and the candid moments are pure emotion. He somehow captures the real moments without you even noticing he’s there. Watching our wedding video, we realized John had sprinted across the dance floor to capture the final dip of our first dance, we hadn’t even noticed! He’s a total ninja, and the results speak for themselves. Another thing that makes John truly special: he edits every single photo himself, without AI or third-party editors. While the final gallery might take a little longer to be completed, the time and attention he puts into each image is obvious, every photo is perfectly polished, full of detail, and shows his love for what he does. One of our favorite touches was the black & white set he created for our guests. It was thoughtful, stylish, and our friends and family are still raving about it. We are completely in love with our wedding photos and can’t imagine booking anyone else for future events. John isn’t just a photographer, he’s an organized professional, a true artist, and someone who genuinely cares about the couples he works with. If you want gorgeous photos, a stress-free day, and someone who goes above and beyond in every way, book John Barone Photography, you won’t regret it! Alana & Jason

John was one of the first vendors that we booked for our wedding since photography was incredibly important to us. We knew we needed to get it right. The pictures came out stunningly beautiful and perfectly captured all of the emotions of the day. Aside from this, John's professionalism throughout the planning process was nothing short of incredible. He was easily our most responsive vendor- answering every question we had quickly and being available for multiple phone calls to put our minds at ease! I would book him again in a heartbeat.
Everything you need and more!

John and team had excellent communication and satisfied all our needs. Great value for our money. They made us feel very comfortable and were efficient in the photo shoot. They had fun exercises to make us laugh and feel natural. Having John, Stuart, and our wedding coordinator really tied the wedding together. Our guests really enjoyed the black and white photo booth as well. They made our wedding seamless.
The Best Decision We Made for Our Wedding

I was hesitant to book anyone for our wedding photography at first — it wasn’t personal, I just felt unsure and overwhelmed by the whole process. But John Barone completely changed that. He followed up thoughtfully over email and offered to set up a call. From the moment we started talking, I felt like I was catching up with an old friend. He was clearly the most capable person I had spoken to, and by the end of the call, I was completely sold on him and his team. I had my heart set on a documentary-style photographer, and I was especially drawn to Stuart’s work. I followed his portfolio online and was continually impressed with every post. Leading up to the wedding, John was more of a help than he probably realizes. He took the reins on scheduling the entire day — something that should’ve been in my wheelhouse (I’m a planner and a project manager by day), but somehow felt incredibly daunting. John made it easy and even encouraged me to book extra time with our venue. Thank god he did. Every bit of advice he gave was spot on, from how much time we needed for getting ready, to first look, to portraits. The guy knows what he’s doing — he’s a true professional and I only wish I listened to him sooner. On the day of, Stuart and Denida were top tier. They arrived right on time, were exceptionally kind, and made both me and my husband feel completely comfortable. They worked seamlessly and quietly, doing things behind the scenes that I didn’t even notice in the moment — because they never wanted me to stress. My family and friends were absolutely obsessed with both of them. They were not only professional, but also hilarious and engaging — somehow making noises I didn’t even know were humanly possible to get the attention of my 10-month-old twin nephews! I would book this team again in a heartbeat and will recommend them to everyone I know. There was truly nothing more they could have done to make our day more perfect — because they already did it all. When I received our photos from John, everything was communicated clearly and on time. I never once had to worry, and the results? Absolutely exceeded every expectation. The photos are spectacular, beautifully edited, and exactly what I had dreamed of. If you’re on the fence — this is your sign. Book John and his team. You won’t regret it.
