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! read more

John was amazing to work with. He met with us multiple times to make sure we got all of the shots we wanted, helped us plan our timeline for our day, and provided a list of other awesome vendors for us to use. John really works hard leading up to, and day of the wedding to make sure his clients are happy. Many of our guests commented on how they were impressed by how many pictures he got of everyone; he was seemingly everywhere without ever feeling intrusive or in the way. John also keeps his pricing extremely fair and affordable compared to other photographers. It is clear he has been shooting weddings for a long time, as he makes the process easy for his clients. read more

My fiance and I hired John to be the photographer for our wedding and I can only say great things about him. In our package we received all the photos he took as well as all of them in color and black and white. It was great that we were able to get all of them, rather than just a subset of everything he took. John met with us multiple times prior to the day of the wedding and had a planning worksheet for all the different photos we wanted and the combination of people. He was organized and kept everything in order throughout the day. On the actual day of, John did a great job of capturing moments as well as ensuring all the requests we had we done. He was funny, lightened the mood, and overall a real benefit to the day! He made both of us laugh and really engaged with the wedding party. Highly recommend. read more

John is the best wedding photographer I could have dreamed of! When it came to planning a wedding by myself, I felt at times overwhelmed with the thought of making sure things ran smoothly. Not only did John do an amazing job at actually taking pictures of our wedding, but he helped me to coordinate months out, up until the big day. John created a timeline for my wedding, got contact info for all my other vendors, kept my hair and makeup artists on top of the timeline to ensure I was ready on time, and talked us through the process on multiple Zoom calls prior to the actual day. With his knowledge and expertise, my husband and I had the best wedding day we could have imagined, plus the beautiful pictures to prove it! I don't think any other photographer would ever have finished editing and sending almost 1.5K pictures (all sent in both in color and black and white) in just two weeks from our wedding, but John truly defies expectation. He made us feel so comfortable, listened to all of our concerns, and captured our day flawlessly from start to finish. It was truly such a pleasure getting to know him, and it feels like he was such a vital part of our wedding day! read more

If you are looking for a wedding / engagement photographer, look no further! My husband and I chose to work with John for his beautiful photos, and we were surprised to learn we got much more than a photographer. John is extremely attentive and will work with you throughout the entire wedding-planning process. John gave us excellent advice and reassurance with planning our big day. John gives off great energy and works to make sure everyone feels comfortable in front of the camera. He captured our entire wedding day -- over 12 hours -- and all of the photos are beautiful. We will treasure them for years to come! read more

John was incredibly professional and helpful throughout the whole wedding planning process, and we are incredibly happy with the photos he provided us. He went above and beyond in coordinating with the vendors to ensure the timing and schedule was on track for all of our requested photographs, had a quick turnaround and the quality and quantity of the pictures we received is impressive. The planning sessions and Zoom calls he provided in the months prior helped us get more comfortable with John as a person, and we felt prepared and confident that everything would go smoothly on our wedding day. We were unsure of certain poses, and he was great in directing us so we were able to achieve amazing shots. John's photo package was an incredibly great value, and we would highly recommend him to all of our friends and family. John also took our engagement photos which turned out beautifully. We are so happy with our experience with John and can't thank him enough for capturing our day so beautifully. read more

Is it possible to miss your wedding photographer? Yes, yes it is. We absolutely loved John Munno as both a wonderful human being, and as a top notch wedding photographer! He was easily the best part of our wedding planning. John has such a calm and steady presence- something all couples need both leading up to, and on their wedding day. We first met John about a year before our wedding at our engagement photo shoot. Immediately, we knew he was going to be excellent to work with. We instantly saw his attention to detail, and his eye for aesthetics. He even went to the second floor of a building to get a perfect shot of us on a bridge! His passion for taking the most beautiful shots while telling a story exceeded our expectations. He truly cared for us as a couple, and made it his number one priority to make sure we were happy. The process of planning and executing a wedding is no small feat, and it simply would not have gone as smoothly as it did without John! He got every single shot we asked for, and helped us plan the day. Extremely flexible, John was able to pivot when we needed to make changes to our schedule. He was communicative, punctual, and kept us on time for everything! When we got our photos back, we couldn't believe it! They are stunning! How did he do it? He was almost invisible at the church and reception. He is that photographer- you know, the unobtrusive one who gets the job done. John has that perfect blend of using his own artistry while simultaneously giving his clients what they want, and more! My husband and I went with his top package. We have to say, the value is outstanding! He sent us sneak peeks of photos the very next day, and we received all of our photos two weeks later! His system for sharing photos is excellent, and we were easily able to share them with our friends and family. Once we picked our photos for the wedding album, he got us our album, as well as our three prints with lightning speed. It's absolutely beautiful. Truly, John Munno is a treasure. No need to look elsewhere- hire this wonderful man! -Rebecca and Paul Reres read more

Would give more stars if I could because John Munno killed it. We had to postpone our wedding from April to September of this year and John made the transition seamless. We kind of viewed him like our wedding planner because he was able to give us great recommendations for DJs and Videographers that we ended up using with great satisfaction. As far as the content and quality of his work, it was absolutely terrific. From the engagement photos up until the final photos of the wedding night, John took beautiful pictures that really captured the day and looked amazing. Family and friends keep raving about them. He was organized, pleasant, and stealthy throughout the day, meaning he captured the amazing moments while blending in and letting us enjoy our wedding. He was awesome to work with, responsive when needed, and made things enjoyable. Would definitely recommend him moving forward!! read more

If you are in need of a photographer then book this man! John was absolutely amazing. After we found our venue and selected a date we started searching for vendors. John was the first one we booked! His timeliness, energy, and professionalism are unparalleled. He also helped us by pointing us in the correct direction for other vendors. We found our amazing officiant and fantastic DJ thanks to his suggestions. Our whole wedding day went by without a hitch and John was a huge part of why. He helps plan a run down of the day and keeps everyone on schedule, making sure to capture all the photos on your list. So many of our guests said they felt like he was everywhere at once, never missing any photo worthy moments. My husband and I cannot recommend him enough! read more

John is absolutely fantastic-- start to finish. He was incredibly thorough with any and all concerns. His vendor recommendations were helpful (especially early in the wedding planning process). He is quick to communicate especially as the big day approached. During the big day he made sure that we were both comfortable in front of the camera-- resulting in beautiful photos. All requests he took seriously. He did more than just take photos he made sure that our day was absolutely the fairytale day we both wanted! A must have photographer! read more

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! read more

He was so helpful during the entire wedding planning process. We hired him way before the COVID pandemic and he was with us every step of the way providing guidance and even recommending other vendors he had worked with. His photos came out beautifully and tell the entire story of our magically day and he got them back to us so quickly he has the fastest turnaround time Ive seen. We will never forget all he's done for us and we highly recommend his photography services! read more

Go with John and your wedding pictures will be perfect! He is phenomenal from beginning to end!

We chose John Munno for our wedding in April 2021, and we just had the pleasure of doing our engagement photos with him at Southford falls. It couldn't have gone better. We did our shoot on a Thursday and he had over 200 beautiful photos back to us by Saturday afternoon. All our friends and family were extremely impressed by the quality and it's been tough narrowing it down to just a few pictures for the save the dates. John did a great job finding good lighting and gorgeous scenery for our pictures and we're excited to see what he can do for us on our wedding day. Besides for the excellent pictures, one of the best things about him is that he's been like a mini wedding planner. He has multiple recommendations for DJs, florists, and more. He's also been very helpful planning out the timeline for getting ready and taking photos on our wedding day. Overall, he's been fun and fantastic to work with. He seems like an awesome, genuine guy and you can tell he puts a lot of thought and care into his work. I would recommend him to anyone. read more

My wife and I got married pretty last minute. We were so fortunate that John was available to photograph our wedding. He is a tremendous talent and despite the rushed nature of the assignment, he was able to deliver exactly what we asked for. John is the photographer you want, give him a call. read more

I cannot say enough wonderful things about John Munno and the time he took to ensure the love, joy, and quirkiness of our special day was truly captured. We met John at a Bridal Show and, after meeting with a few other photographers that we didn't want to hire, scheduled a meeting with him. He welcomed us to his studio, shared his expertise, showed us the beautiful pictures he had taken of other weddings, and the packages he offers. He was comfortable to be around with his great energy and sense of humor. He asked us questions we never would have thought of and helped us finalize the pieces of our special day. We schedule our outdoor engagement shoot and looked forward to spending time with him one afternoon in June to really get a feel for him and his work. He was extremely detailed-oriented and went out of his way to make sure we had everything that we wanted for that afternoon. When it was downpouring, he took the time to reschedule (in the midst of his busy wedding season) our shoot for a later date. He did research beforehand, met us at a local coffee shop to start our shoot and took us through the day with such ease. We walked away with 250+ beautiful pictures! One thing I most loved about working with John is that he wanted to ensure our personalities both individually and as a couple came through with every decision we made. You could see that in both the engagement pictures and the pictured he took our special day (over 1500!) He emailed us, called us, and guided us along the way. He met with us a few times along the way to ensure everything would be perfect and that he would capture every detail we wanted him to. He even checked the time of the sunset (several times) in order to plan for the outdoor pics we wanted right after our ceremony. He stayed until the very end of the night at our reception and asked me as he was going to start packing if there was anything else we wanted him to take a picture of before he left. WOW! He had our pictures to us in less than 2 weeks digitally and on a flashdrive. He was the best! He went above and beyond for us and I know he would do the same for you. We would hire him again in a heartbeat and would highly recommend John Munno to capture the essence of your special day! read more

John has to be one of the best photographers in New England! My husband and I are newlyweds and we just received our photos back from the wedding, we could NOT be more thrilled. John listened to exactly what we wanted and went above and beyond to deliver what we requested. Every single photo is absolutely stunning and his eye for beauty is quite obvious. All the colors, details, candid guests, stunning! Our guests are so complimentary about our photos and about John in general. Not only is he a phenomenal photographer, but a sincerely genuine man. He quite obviously takes so much pride in his career and truly cares about his clients. He's checked in on us and is always a call or email away for anything we need! read more

John is amazing! He did our family photo shoot last weekend and we received the pictures yesterday. For over a hundred photos that's a wonderful turn around time. He was very patient with my four year old and two dogs. I totally recommend and would use his services again! read more

John is a very talented photographer and a pleasure to work with. The time and attention he gives his customers is unmatchable. He goes above and beyond to produce exactly what you want in your photographs. John really makes sure to get an understanding and ideas of what you arw hoping for. Not only that, but he also helps organize and plan your shoot. For instance, for our wedding he helped plan what times what pictures would take place as well as the group lists of who would be in each photo! He goes above and beyond at a very reasonable price! read more

John helped me organize my whole wedding day, without him I would've been somewhat confused on how my wedding day should look!!! I was not expecting to receive all of genuine help that day but I did !!! I'm forever grateful and will use him for any other photography services I need !!! The best photographer I have ever seen or used and I highly recommend him for your special day !!! read more

To start, I sent out quite a few inquiries for an engagement photographer. John immediately stood out to me because he emailed me back right away! I called him shortly after because I LOVED his work I saw online and just HAD to book him. He was busy editing photos but he stopped just to take the time out to assist me. He was so warm and welcoming, and from the moment we spoke I knew my fiancé and I had to book him. John was so friendly, and warm on our engagement shoot. He made myself and my fiancé feel so comfortable. His partner Lana was absolutely incredible. I was wearing a tedious dress and she fixed it just right for me for every photo. Johns price is remarkable compared to the quality of photos and the service he provided us!! I am still in awe. Our pictures are flawless. Thank you so much for making our vision for our engagement photos come to life!!!! Incredible job!! read more

John was the most thorough and on top of things photographer possible! He not only did an amazing job on our photos (engagement AND wedding) but throughout the process was there every step of the way supporting us and working with us on Covid regulations! We are in love with all of the moments he captured and would highly recommend him to anyone! He also is incredibly timely and had our photos to us MUCH faster than any of our friends experienced with their weddings! Two weeks later and we are able to view our entire gallery! Highly high recommend! read more

I had high hopes for John. I had looked through John's photo gallery on his website and saw some good shots, but when it came to my cousins wedding day it was not even close to what we had all expected. John was unorganized, spent far too much time with the groomsmen despite the groom and best man telling him to go take photos of the bridal party resulting in not having as many bridal party shots as we all had hoped. There were little to no detailed photos (ie. the rings, shoes, flowers/floral arrangements, table settings, jewelry, up close detailed pictures of the wedding dress, etc) and those are arguably some of the most important photos other than family photos and bride/groom portraits. John was dismissive to the bride/bridal party ideas for photos, therefore missing many beautiful photo opportunities. I went to fix the bride's dress and lay out the train and John told me to stop and that it was not important...The bride wanted a photo showcasing the dress she had chosen for her big day and he dismissed that idea and took the train and ruffled it so it did not look nice anymore. I think the major takeaway from the day is that John did not provide the flexibility that was expected. I thin that in the future, he should consider a second shooter and setting aside some time to get those cherished detail shots instead of spending so much time with the groom and groomsmen. I also think that he might want to consider editing his photos. I am not sure if he edits them at all, as they look unedited, but sometimes a good edit can make all the difference. I hope that all couples/families take this review into serious consideration before booking. read more

John was in regular contact the minute I had initially called and decided to book him. I had a short time frame to plan my wedding and John was wonderful with helping me find any vendors I may have needed. He set up meetings with me and my (now) husband to make sure he was prioritizing the photos we knew we wanted. There was a snowstorm the day of my wedding and it had to be postponed, John was still able to work with us and even kept in contact in case I needed support to replace any of my other vendors. The day of the wedding he got so many little details from the decorations to me walking in, and my guests having a great time that really captured our day as a whole. He was extremely quick in getting the photos back to me, having edited and sent them to me within 2 weeks after my wedding. The photos are absolutely wonderful, and I cannot wait to print them out and share them with friends and family online! John was amazing to work with and he helped make our wedding as magical as we wanted it to be. I highly recommend him for your wedding or event! read more

My husband and I are so happy that we chose John to photograph our wedding day this past January. John truly cares, he met with us several times prior to get to know us and discuss what we envisioned for our big day. John communicated very clearly and professionally always, and he worked with us to personalize our photo package to fit our wants as well as our budget. John went above and beyond and even made a special trip to the venue before our wedding day to get the "lay of the land" since he hadn't photographed there before. We were so excited to receive the gorgeous photos (so quickly) and we couldn't be happier with them. John captured the moment perfectly and balanced candids (which I love) with some more formal photos as well. When looking at our pictures we really have a storyline of our wedding - we will certainly cherish these forever. Thank you, John! read more

If my husband and I were able to give John Munno a rating higher than 5 stars, we most certainly would! We would give him 10 stars and then some. From the moment we met John, we knew he was the right photographer for us. He was very informative, kind, and responsive from the start. Over the past year of working with John, we have had nothing but positive experiences. Our wedding was not even 2 weeks ago and we already received over 2,000 pictures! Including a separate color and black and white album. We absolutely LOVE every picture. They are truly stunning. We can't thank John enough for capturing all of those precious moments of our wedding day. Somehow John was able to get literally every moment of our day on camera. Let me tell you, The pictures are breathtakingly GORGEOUS and we are so happy that we will have these memories to cherish forever. I would like to thank John for being so kind to me. I was very nervous throughout my wedding day, but he was able to keep me calm and focused. John is very attentive, understanding, and accommodating. My mom unfortunately has some mobility issues and he made sure to keep her comfortable while still getting the most beautiful shots. Thank you again for your dedication, John. Your hardwork and talent does not go unnoticed. If you are looking for a talented, genuine, responsive and affordable photographer, John Munno is the guy for you. Without hesitation, we would highly recommend John for your wedding or any photography needs! read more

John Munno was one of the best wedding vendors we worked with. John was up front about pricing and thorough about what was expected/requested. You won't easily beat his price, and for his enthusiasm and his attention to detail, you won't even come close. He responds to email updates and inquiries so quickly, he may just reset your expectations for working with a vendor. We were suprized to find it really seemed he cared as much as we did, and that can be hard to do every day! He got us our photos much faster than we expected, and they're exactly what we asked for (with options in color or black & white). We enthusiastically recommend John, and we are glad to have worked with him. read more

John Munno has my sincerest and highest recommendation! Yes, John is worth every dollar of his very reasonable rates. Yes, John's expertise will have him providing you with answers to questions you didn't even know you had (before, during, and after the wedding.) Yes, John is a dynamo getting those pictures back to you edited and exceptionally quick. Ours came back in less than two weeks, and it's prime wedding season! Yes, the photos were beyond our expectations. Everything from timing, to lighting, to composition, to originality, to the expressiveness of the moment was met with perfection of detail. For those reasons alone, John would be the only photographer I would recommend, but John was exceptional in so many more ways. John is an amazing artist with an uncanny ability to perpetuate an air of calmness and serenity in what could potentially be a frantic day. I didn't know how to finish lacing up the back of my daughter's wedding gown. John did! He jumped right in a knew exactly how to tie off and hide the sashes. I had no plan B for a picture taking location in the event of rain or soggy fields. John did! Knowing that the weather was predicted to be poor, John scouted out the neighborhood days before the wedding and found a perfect alternative. Not only did he find the best setting for the photos, but he asked for permission to use the property in advance so that it was all carefree the day of. I was worried that not having a videographer would mean not being able to "relive" the wedding. That is absolutely not the case. John captured beautiful candid moments throughout the entire day and night; from the teardrops streaming down the father of the bride's cheeks as he walked her down the aisle, to the crazy antics of a slightly inebriated dance floor crowd attempting their best live rendition of Meatloaf's "Paradise by the Dashboard Light." John caught it all. He caught it all, but he never got in the way! He was constantly on the move getting so many different angles and perspectives. This was great not only for us because of the many fabulous pictures taken, but for the guests as well. John's mobility never left anyone with a blocked view. There was never any bulky photo equipment parked in front of anyone's table or causing any unsightly ceremonial visuals. So even our guests' personal cell phone pictures have unobstructed views of the events. I wish I could write a better review, because John deserves the greatest praise for his artistry and kindheartedness. John was so much more than a photographer at my daughter's wedding. He was a caring friend and now, as everyone who attended that wedding agrees, John is a member of the family. read more
