Kelsey B. Sent on 06/12/2024Could not be happier with our choice
John was an incredible photographer to work with. He has great communication and helped us every step of the way building a timeline for our wedding day. He had great recommendations for other vendors we needed and he also helped with finding a location for our first look photos. He honestly does it all! Our pictures came out amazing and I’m so happy with our choice in going with John. Thank you for everything!!!John Munno Weddings's reply:
Thanks Kelsey for your awesome review. I am so glad to help with the vendor referrals and portrait location etc. It helped make for an awesome wedding day. A successful wedding day is built on a good timeline. It makes the day be smooth and enjoyable with time for both photos and lots of fun on the wedding day. It all helped make for an awesome wedding day. It was wonderful to work with you and Brendan and be your photographer. You and your friends and family made for such a beautiful wedding day at Wickham Park and Glastonbury Hills Country Club. -

We are extremely happy with our decision to hire John Munno as our wedding photographer. During our initial consultation, John took the time to explain all of the details and options available to us. We recently had our engagement session with John, which was included as part of our wedding package, and could not be happier with the results. John suggested a beautiful setting for our photos and spent over 2 hours for our session. My fiancé and I have no prior experience with professional photo sessions, but John made us feel very comfortable and at ease. Within 2 weeks, we received over 300 beautiful digital photos from our session. We are so pleased with the results and cannot wait to see his work on our wedding day next summer!John Munno Weddings's reply:
Thanks, Tiffany, for your awesome review. Choosing a wedding photographer that will take the time to explain things and help people feel comfortable in front of the camera is important. Another thing that is important is helping clients by suggesting the best place for their photos. By taking the time upfront to do these things it makes for greater success on both the engagement sessions and ultimately wedding day. I am so glad you loved your photos and turn around time. It was so great to spend the time with you and Kenny and get to know you. Time flies when you are having fun. And you both were so much fun to work with. I can’t wait for your wedding day!! -

First off, John Munno professionalism and customer service was outstanding. If you have any questions or concerns about your wedding photos he will be there to answer them.

One of the biggest vendors to decide on for your wedding is the photographer, and it is so crucial to have a photographer that knows the importance of that decision. With that being said, we are so fortunate to have found a photographer that went above and beyond with his role! Right from the beginning, John helped us create a perfect wedding day timeline to bring our vision to light. He offered us guidance as we navigated the wedding industry. On the actual day of the wedding, he was able to be flexible with the rain and delays. Many of our guests commented on how incredibly efficient and professional he was while capturing the day. And with a quick turnaround on our beautiful photos, we were able to relive all the joy and love the day had to offer. We could not recommend John enough!!John Munno Weddings's reply:
Thanks so much Melissa for your review. Yes choosing your wedding photographer is so important because your photographer is a part of so many aspects of your wedding day. Over the years I have realized the importance of helping my clients "build their wedding on a good foundation" That involves helping them set up their wedding day timeline, shoot list, and providing them with vendor referrals for the most awesome vendors I have worked with over the last 10 years. Putting this all into place makes the difference for a successful wedding day and beautiful photos that come forth from this. Shooting weddings and managing all the aspects and challenges of a wedding day is not easy. It takes skills and experience that can only come from years of doing this. It has been a pleasurer working with you and Joe through this process and I am so glad to have made the journey and experience such a good one for you. -

Best photographer ever!!!
John did an absolutely fantastic job photographing our wedding. He captured some truly beautiful moments from one of the most important day of our lives and we couldn’t be more happy with how our photos came out. Besides the actual photos, John was a huuuge help through the wedding planning process. He helped us put together a timeline and set realistic expectations. On the day of the wedding, we had an issue that delayed the ceremony a whole hour and John was super accommodating to make sure we still got all the shots we wanted, and we got back on track in no time! We can’t thank John enough for his excellent work and dedication to our wedding day.John Munno Weddings's reply:
Thanks Allison for your awesome review!! It has been a joy to be your photographer and work with you and Chris over this last year to photograph both your engagement session and wedding day. I am happy to hear how much you love your photos and how much I have helped your through the planning process. Weddings just don’t happen. They take a lot of planning and hard work to make for an awesome wedding day. It was great working with you through the process. I am so glad I could jump in and help rearrange the schedule for your wedding day at the last minute and help get everything back on track for an incredible wedding day. Thanks so much for trusting me to capture the moments of one of the most important days of your life. -

John did a fabulous job photographing Marisa and Roddys wedding. Not only was he professional, he was fun, enjoyed the crowd and the crowd enjoyed him. We received many compliments from the guests and I believe he was hired for another wedding that night. The photos were ready for viewing days after the event. I would use John again and recommend him to anyone.John Munno Weddings's reply:
Dear Vicki. Thanks so much for taking the time to review me. It was great to photograph your daughter Marissa and her husband Roddy’s wedding in Bethlehem at Wyndcrest Estate.

My wedding vendor MVP
John hit it out of the park for our wedding! Our pictures were amazing despite dealing with all the elements - sun, heat, torrential rain and thunder. My guests even commented about how he looks like he loves what he does and he never stopped moving all night! My venue owners commented how was the only photographer ever that stayed until the end of a wedding! He’s professional, funny and most of all he provides AMAZING photos!John Munno Weddings's reply:
Thanks Leanne on your awesome review. So glad to hit it out of the park for you. Yes I am one of the few photographers who often stays to the end of weddings. We did great through the heat, and rain to make for an awesome wedding day. It was great to work with you and Bernie and capture the magic moments of your wedding day at Cedarbrook Barn. -

Exceeded Expectations
John is a dedicated, hard-working, passionate wedding photographer who will deliver a beautiful album of both well-posed and candid photos that capture all the moments you'll hope to rememeber. From the time we first booked with him, John was eager to help us with the planning process. We had three Zoom meetings over the course of the year leading up to wedding day and our photography timeline took shape more and more each time. Looking back, it was so helpful that John took the time to start meeting so far in advance because as the big day drew closer our time became so much more limited. On the day of, John showed up early to make sure there was plenty of time to capture all of the little moments while getting ready. He had our timeline in hand and helped us keep to schedule and acheive every grouping we hoped for without us ever feeling rushed. He also checked in frequently during the day to see if there were any other photos we wanted that were not built into the timeline. We got our album back in less than 2 weeks after our wedding and were thrilled with the photos. He did a great job with the lighting and angles and seemed to be everywhere at once. He was a pleasure to work with and we have already recommended him to our friends and family.John Munno Weddings's reply:
Dear Meghan,
I thank you so much for your awesome review. From the beginning and all the way to your wedding day, it has been a pleasure to work with you and Jake to help bring your wedding photography vision to fruition. I appreciate all your efforts working with me through the process to make your wedding day be such a great success. I am so glad you are happy with your photos and the angles and combination of candid and classic photos and groupings. Wedding memories and moments are so precious and It is so important to me that I capture them for my clients. It was such an incredible wedding day at the Riverhouse and I am still basking in the beauty of your day from the getting ready photos to your first look and portraits, touching wedding ceremony and fun and joyful reception. Thank you for choosing me as your wedding photographer and for the opportunity to work with you and capture the beautiful moments of your wedding day.

Carly W. Sent on 07/24/2023Book John!
John has been extremely hands on and helpful during our wedding planning process. From the beginning of our wedding planning, it was evident that we were in good hands. John set up meetings to discuss our must haves, timelines, and all of the small details that can be overwhelming for a couple! He helped brainstorm and problem solve throughout the process. He truly cares about your wedding day and wants to make it as smooth as possible for you.
He was also very punctual, professional, and polite! He showed up on time, made all in the wedding party feel comfortable, and was able to capture the personalities of our guests in our photographs. John is able to find the best lighting that will bring out the true beauty in your portraits! He follows through with all of your "must have" shot lists and goes above and beyond what you want. On the night of the wedding, you will certainly find him on the dance floor capturing the candids! Our guests even told us "he did not miss a moment".
After the wedding, he followed up within a reasonable time with previews of our pictures - which were a great way to celebrate post wedding. He returned our photographs to us in a timely manner and the pictures are easy to download! Without a doubt, we strongly recommend John for your wedding - you will be relieved he is your photographer!John Munno Weddings's reply:
Dear Carly,
Thanks so much for your great review. It has been a pleasure to work with you through the year leading up to your wedding day. Yes, planning weddings is a lot of work so I try to help as much as I can to make the process be as smooth has possible. Weddings days are filled with so many “magic” moments. As a visual story teller, capturing them and the spirit of the wedding day is very important to me. Wedding photography is a three step process. Before, during and after and It is my goal always to deliver on each part of that process to make for a smooth and enjoyable wedding photography experience. Thanks so much for being a great part of that process. It has been a joy to work with you and Alex and meet your family and friends and capture the beauty of your wedding day at Wright’s Mill Farm.

Anas F. Sent on 07/06/2023A photographer in a league of his own
When we started planning our wedding, I was not as convinced as my wife about the importance of wedding photography and videography… until I saw our engagement pictures by John. It soon became clear that we made one of the best decisions in our life by hiring a professional photographer. Here are a few reasons why:
1- John is fun. John did both our engagement and wedding photos by the way. Besides being a great photographer, John is a very fun guy and has an interesting personality. He always knew exactly how to make us feel comfortable and spontaneous when taking photos (just like we were hanging with a friend).
2- John is a great planner. To save money, we did not hire a wedding planner. But John stepped up. With his experience and connections, he provided great advice when it comes to hiring vendors and planning the big day.
3- John is a great listener. From engagement to the wedding day, John planned regular Zoom meetings, where he walked us through every detail of the wedding. Our wedding was not easy to plan since it had two ceremonies and a melting pot of Moroccan and American traditions. However, John was a great listener and helped us with his experience and artistic views to find the perfect succession of the events and plan the sequence of shots.
4- John is a high-tech photographer. Since we chose to have a backyard wedding, we were a little worried about the background, but John made it so easy. John cares a lot about technical details such as lighting. He is the kind of photographers that would visit the venue a few months before the wedding to check lighting conditions, create a detailed map on his computer showing where the sunlight will come from, then give suggestions about the appropriate site for the ceremony. His devotion to his job is just inspiring!
5- John is omnipresent. On our wedding day, John was everywhere. Later, when I saw the photos, I was wondering if he had some teleportation superpower, since the same scenes were taken from different angles with great attention to details and emotions, although he was working alone.
6- John is an artist and storyteller. John is very good at taking candid moments, transmitting moments of joy, moments of emotions, and telling a story based on photos. We have received many compliments about the photos and some family members even got emotional after seeing them.
7- John is attentive to details. He captured everything that has significance to our marriage. The details photos were stunning and had a breathtaking quality. They perfectly highlighted the mixture of Moroccan and American traditions (Henna, Amaryah, Moroccan traditional clothes, forehead kiss, etc.). Just what we wanted!
8- John is generous. John put a big effort to edit our photos after the wedding and stayed in touch sending us sneak peeks. I was so surprised when I realized that he took and edited more than 2000 photos during the wedding day. He also suggested making a photo album and a few prints for us.
John made of our wedding a magic memory. We will treasure his photos forever.
I highly recommend John. Honestly, I am thinking to fly him overseas to get him to photograph our next wedding in Morocco lol
John Munno Weddings's reply:

I am so happy to hear how well everything came together for you on your wedding day. You and Kelly did such an amazing job of celebrating your two diverse cultures on this incredible wedding day.

Kelly D. Sent on 07/07/2023The best photographer ever!
I can’t even begin to explain how great of a photographer John is. If you are looking into booking him, don’t hesitate, just do it. You will be blown away!!! This is going to be a very long review, but I want to do John justice because we couldn’t be happier with everything he gave us. Our wedding was so amazing because we had John as our photographer (and essentially wedding planner).
Pictures:
John has a fantastic eye for beautiful photos, and knows how to instruct you to get great pictures. Both my husband and I do not really know how to pose, but John was great at helping us do poses that we would have never thought of that came our beautifully. He is a pro at really capturing the moments and emotions of the day. My husband even made a few comments when looking through the pictures that he looked the happiest he had ever looked in his life. Only a couple days after the wedding, we were already getting sneak peeks of the various parts of the wedding, and it made us even more excited to see the full gallery! John provided a full color gallery, and also a black and white gallery of every picture in the color gallery, which was amazing. He finished both galleries ONLY 2 WEEKS after the wedding, which was absolutely crazy, especially because he provided us with over 2,400 pictures in a single gallery. John does not limit the amount of pictures he takes or provides to you, and I am so thankful for that. I can’t believe that there are so many pictures, and that they are all so beautiful. The candid shots he took were also fantastic, he captured the joy and laughter of everyone so well. Some of my favorite pictures are the ones I didn’t even know he was taking! Looking at the pictures, it is amazing we only had one photographer. It looked like we had 3 or more! John really puts his heart and soul into every wedding he photographs, and it shows.
Booking:
John was the photographer at my cousin’s wedding, and after seeing her pictures, I knew I had to book him for my own wedding. Since before booking him, he was very clear about all of his packages and made us feel very comfortable with our choice. We absolutely loved being able to get our engagement photos done with him as part of the package because it gave us an opportunity to work together and meet each other in person before the wedding day. His prices are extremely reasonable and he puts so much time and effort into making sure your wedding day goes smoothly.
Wedding Planning:
We had a backyard wedding, which I knew was going to require a lot of planning, but I didn’t realize how much until I was already into it. I am so happy we decided to go this direction, but John saved us. He met with us multiple times and made sure that we were not forgetting anything (someone to take the seats from the ceremony to the reception, etc.) and made sure that we were booking things at the right times to ensure we got the best vendors. Whenever I didn’t know where to look for a vendor, he provided a list of many different vendors he had worked with and recommended based on what we were looking for. All of these vendors were also reasonably priced, and we loved every single one he recommended. We took his recommendations for our videographer, hair and makeup artist, and DJ, and couldn’t have been happier with all of them. He was our photographer and wedding coordinator, and helped us out immensely leading up to the wedding and the day of. Our wedding was unique in that we had 2 different ceremonies: American and Moroccan, and he helped us coordinate both, as well as the timelines of both ceremonies to make sure everything flowed smoothly. Throughout the whole process, he was also extremely flexible and gave us times to make decisions while also making sure we were keeping on track without us feeling rushed.
Professionalism:
John is extremely professional, while also being an awesome guy in general. He always managed to make me smile even when things went wrong during the wedding. He was able to get things back on track and keep us feeling good throughout the whole day. He worked extremely well with all of our other vendors – the DJ, the videographer, and the hair and makeup artist. He had multiple individual meetings with these vendors to ensure that they would work seamlessly together on the wedding day and to make sure the timelines were matching up. He took away all this work from us, which was so helpful with so much on our plates. Throughout the wedding, he and the videographer made sure they were respectful of each other and that both were able to get everything they needed and they weren’t getting in each other’s ways. He made sure that everyone felt comfortable in front of the cameras. I also provided him a list of hundreds of pictures I wanted to make sure he got, and he brought it to the wedding and made sure he got them. He was truly fantastic and really made sure we were getting what we wanted. He coordinated our entire wedding day, start to finish, and was flexible when we had to rearrange the picture sequence because of someone missing or wanted to try a different pose, while still making sure we stayed on track with the timing.
Overall, my husband and I could not be happier with having chosen John as our wedding photographer. We both truly feel that John made the day stress free, relaxing, and fun, and we have amazing pictures and memories of the day because of him.
John Munno Weddings's reply:
Thank you Kelly so much for your review. It has been so great to work with you and Anas from your engagement session to your incredible Moroccan American wedding day. It was great to work with you through the planning process leading up to your wedding day. Your wedding day day was off the charts and will go down in the history books for sure. I am glad that I could help make it all come together for you and deliver such beautiful images capturing the amazing moments of your wedding day!!

Kelly D. Sent on 05/28/2022Highly recommend! Definitely hire John!
John is a fantastic photographer! We chose him for our wedding after we saw the beautiful pictures from my cousin’s wedding he photographed. We just had our engagement shoot at Kettletown State Park and the pictures came out phenomenal. He is fun to be around and makes you feel very comfortable in front of the camera. He lets you know what would look good and has creative ideas on what to do to get good photos. He was also great at guiding us on how to pose, which was very helpful for us! He is extremely quick to respond whenever I have any questions, and was very communicative when we had to delay our photoshoot due to rain, making sure that he worked around our schedule that day. He gave us a few photos quickly to look at as sneak peeks, and gave us the full amount of photos after editing (over 200!) only a week later. Not only is he great at photography, he has taken a lot of stress off of our backyard wedding since he has helped us with the timeline, finding other vendors he recommends (videographers, DJs, etc.) within our budget, and much more. I am very thankful we picked John as our photographer and would highly recommend him to anyone else. We can’t wait for him to shoot our wedding!John Munno Weddings's reply:
Thanks for your awesome review Kelly. It has been great working with you. You and Anas were so much fun on your engagement session. Your photos came at great!! I am so glad I could be of help with the planning process of your wedding. That is great benefit of hiring me as I take a great interest in the success of all my client's weddings. I can't wait for your upcoming wedding day. It is going to fantastic. -

John is a true professional and you can tell he takes great pride and joy in his work. He was there every step of the way from planning and leading up to the wedding as well as on the day of to make sure everything ran smoothly and he captured the moments that were important to us. He met with us a few times to set and adjust the timeline for the day as well as get to know us and answer any questions we had. On the day of he arrived early to scout the location and find some alternatives if the weather continued to be uncooperative, and worked non-stop to make sure he captured it all. Afterwards, John made sure to check in and make sure everything went well, and sent sneak peak pictures within days of the wedding. He also managed to send the full photo collection in color and black and white in under 10 days from our wedding!! Thank you for everything John!John Munno Weddings's reply:

Becka A. Sent on 03/24/2022Perfect Photographer for Fellow Wedding-Planning Novices
Our wedding day wouldn’t have been the same without John! I am so grateful to have had our special day captured by someone with such passion, keen eye for detail, patience, and expertise. When my husband Tom and I first met with John, we knew without a doubt he’d be a perfect fit for us; now, a year and a half later, we couldn’t be happier with our decision.
Over the last year, John has helped us with coordinating/arranging our engagement shoot (which came out gorgeous), as well as providing us recommendations for our DJ and my makeup artist. Being complete wedding novices, Tom and I could not have asked for a better team of experts around us for our wedding day!
Speaking of the wedding day, John was an instrumental force in both the planning stages leading up to the wedding (in terms of helping us map out a vision for our wedding day that felt more natural to Tom and I, who are not really great with some of the “staged” poses, haha) and on the day itself. John checked in with me multiple times throughout our day together to make sure I was comfortable and to make sure that he was capturing some of my specific requests (including pictures with my cat, which are already a huge hit from our sneak peeks).
John’s love for, and mastery of, his craft has been more than evident as he sends my mom and me some sneak peeks of our photos (less than a week after the wedding!). Thank you so much for everything!John Munno Weddings's reply:
Thanks for your awesome review Becca!! It has been great to work with you and Tom bouncing back and forth ideas and helping solidify your vision for both your farm engagement session at Blue Bird Farm and your wedding day at The Woodwinds. They both turned out fantastic.
Building an “A Team” of vendors is so important and I am glad I could provide you with a great DJ and Make Up artist referrals to help make your day be do awesome. I work with a lot of vendors so I know which ones are good and which ones not so good. I can also customize the vendors to match the personality of each couple.
Every couple is different and there is no “one way” to have a wedding. I try to get to know the couples I work with to help create for them the best wedding according to their vision, personality and style. That all came together on your wedding day making it be the great success that it was. Thanks for your appreciation and it has been great to help make it all happen for you.

Best Decision We Made
I cannot say enough positive things about John Munno. He was recommended to us by our reception venue and booking his as our photographer was the best wedding planning decision we made. John was always prompt to respond to questions, he set up several planning meetings to make sure he would capture all of the moments we hoped for, and he helped us find several other top notch vendors, serving almost as a wedding planner and photographer. Our wedding day was particularly long, and John didn't bat an eye about covering the whole day from getting ready to our private last dance. I even had guests complimenting me during the reception and in the days that followed saying that they were so impressed by John and how he seemed to be everywhere all the time to capture memories, but he was not obtrusive or distracting. Once we got our gallery back in exactly 2 weeks as promised, I was floored. The images were so stunning, and we received about 1,500 photos! And the gallery was duplicated in black and white so my husband and I have our choice of color or B&W. I would hire John 100x over. If you are looking for a top tier, professional photographer who takes his time to get to know his couples and understand their vision, all while remaining reasonably priced, look no farther. Hire John Munno. You will be so glad you did, I know I am. Thank you John for capturing so many special moments on our big day! We will cherish these photos for years to come.John Munno Weddings's reply:
Thanks for your off the charts review Victoria. It was awesome to be your engagement and wedding photographer and capture the moments of your beautiful wedding day. I am so glad all worked out for an awesome wedding day. I have found over the years that laying out a good timeline and building an “A Team” of vendors makes for such a better wedding day. That is why I provide free wedding planning assistance and vendor referrals as part of my services. It is a huge assistance, more so than couples realize initially. I am so glad you love your images and the dual collection of color and black and white photos. This is a nice extra touch that few photographers offer but is included in all my packages. I don’t overbook myself, and only shoot one wedding a week, so I can provide more attention and care to my clients and have their photos edited by two weeks after their wedding day. You and Adam were great to work with through the whole process and I am so glad I could help make everything come together for you both. -

Elizabeth C. Sent on 11/07/2022Amazing photographer
I don't know how to find the words to describe how wonderful of an experience my wedding was with John. From the moment I booked with him, I knew I made the right decision. He is professional, supportive, caring and compassionate. His open communication throughout the entire process put my mind at ease heading into the big day.
On the wedding day, I was feeling a lot of nerves and was very unsettled. From the moment John arrived at our hotel, he was calming and supportive. He kept reminding me it was my day and continually asked if I was ok. And what a hard worker he is! He never stopped moving around the room trying to find the best picture opportunities while also checking in to make sure I was ok and didn't have any pictures I wanted at that time.
I am so fortunate and happy that I found John to photograph our wedding. I couldn't be happier with every aspect of his work. If you are debating who to hire for your big day, look no further!John Munno Weddings's reply:
Thank you Elizabeth for your review. When couples hire a photographer, they don’t often realize that a photographer does more than take photos on your wedding day. A good photographer is the glue that helps make your wedding day be successful. They help run the timing of the wedding day and coordinates with all the vendors on your wedding day. If something is off with any of your vendors, of they miss something, your photographer is the one that steps in when needed to make sure everything goes well. A good photographer will be a grounding force and will help provide comfort, reassurance and encouragement to help you make it through the day. Before I was a wedding photographer I worked for many years as a holistic healing practitioner. I naturally have a kind, caring and compassionate side and have helped a lot of people through emotional times. Who would have know I could use those traits and qualities at every wedding where emotions can run high. I am glad I could be there for you to make your wedding day be successful so you could have fond memories in your mind and in your photos of your wedding day.
