John Boone Photography

John Boone is a phenomenal wedding photographer! My husband and I knew from the get-​go that photography was going to be one of the most important aspects of our wedding and John not only met our expectation, he truly exceeded it! The majority of our guests even came up to us to remark on how professional and talented he was at capturing the special moments. He is very professional yet super personable – making you feel like it’s your trusted friend that is handling all the photography and not just some highly-​rated vendor. We were very lucky to have his equally talented wife, Elise, be the second photographer and the result was truly breathtaking – the photos turned out amazing! My husband and I are truly lucky that John Boone was available to be a part of our special day. We booked him 10 months in advance and we’re so glad we did!

We booked John for a wedding in April 2015. The wedding date was 12÷12÷15. I gave John a deposit of $ 2700.00. Unfortunately, the couple cancelled the wedding in April. 8 Months before the wedding was to take place. I asked John if I could get some of my deposit refunded. He told me if he booked the same date as the wedding was supposed to be then he might be able to refund a portion of the deposit.
The date has passed and I have not heard from him. Doesn’t seem ethical to me.
Life lesson, if a vendor asks for a deposit, only give them the minimum amount they ask for. I was trying to give a large deposit so I wouldn’t owe so much when the job was done.
Big Mistake!!! Don’t trust anyone when money is involved. They will not do the right thing.

John was introduced to us by our wedding planner, and I can see why she advises her clients to him. Not only is he an amazing photographer with endless talent, but he is a genuine, funny, and personable individual to be on your wedding team. My husband and I gave John a few more bumps in the road than normal, like forgetting half of our wardrobe for the engagement shoot, but he was SO incredibly accommodating and managed to complete a beautiful session. Our wedding day was a dream come true, and John was a HUGE part of the successful and stress-​free day. Not only did my husband and I love him, but so did everyone else at the wedding! His photos are impeccable, and we have received endless comments. It was very important to us to have amazing photos, because we did not hire a videographer. John far exceeded our expectations, and we now have captured memories to last a life time! On top of it all, he also put together an amazing guest book with our engagement photos for the wedding. I HIGHLY recommend John for your special day… I feel like the luckiest person to have the BEST pictures.

John is special… He works so intertwined with you that no matter what the situation he will make sure you get what you want. We got a chance to work with both him and his wife and I don’t want to leave her out as she did the men’s «getting ready» pictures and was amazing. They listen to what you want and then amplify it into amazing scenes and photos. Great with younger children as well as older family, as well as the stubborn and relentless. They are definitely all about you on your night. The party pictures were just as spectacular as the formal ones and it’s cool to have a photographer who can have fun and party with the group but still do his job flawless. He really was a part of our family and we would recommend to EVERY one! Thanks John!

If you’re looking for an amazing photographer, look no further. I knew for my wedding the only thing just as important as the ceremony is to have a great photographer to capture those moments. I did a fair amount of research looking for the perfect photographer, and when I found Johnny, I knew I had found my guy. His pictures are beyond amazing, he is truly an artist. And, if that wasn’t enough he is the easiest, most upbeat genuine person and he was a pleasure to work with. My wedding pictures are so incredible, they are truly one of my most prized possessions. Our friends also used Johnny for their wedding and they are just as happy. I would recommend Johnny to anyone, you will not be disappointed.

John Boone photography is by far the best photographer I have worked with! I had some personal photos done and they turned out flawless! He is very easy to work with and has a very creative mind when it comes to photography ideas. They have great packages and remember, a picture is worth a thousand words so call Johnny to make your memories flawless on print!

John Boone was a fantastic wedding photographer. We did a same-​sex wedding (two men) and he was wonderful to work with. We did an engagement session where he captured some fantastic shots of the the pair of us at unique locations. Then at our actual wedding, he took amazing photos of the ceremony, reception, wedding party, and families. His photos are a great combination of candid shots, posed shots, «cheesy» shots — let’s be honest, everyone wants some cheesy shots at their wedding — and photos of the setting. He makes you feel quite comfortable with the photography process so that you look relaxed and happy in your photos. You definitely get a lot of value for your money with him, too. There is nothing I regret about choosing him as my wedding photographer, and I would recommend him highly to anyone. (In fact, he was recommended to me by a friend of mine who used his services at her wedding the year before. So I figure I should keep the good word of mouth going.)

My husband and i chose John Boone as our photographer for our June 2012 wedding, and we were SO happy with our decision. At our initial meeting, John was friendly and approachable; we appreciated that he was willing to work with us to create a package that met our needs within our budget. His portfolio was very impressive, and he delivered all that he promised and more!
At the event, John was professional and well-​organized, making sure to capture beautiful shots of the wedding party and our families in a timely manner. His friendly manner and positive attitude put everyone at ease and made us all feel relaxed and confident. With equal grace and talent, he was also able to catch all of those special candid moments before, during, and after the ceremony. Several guests remarked that he seemed to be everywhere at once; we were amazed that he was able to capture so many great shots of the wedding party, our families, our friends — stealing a kiss, sharing a joke, smiling with pride, dancing their hearts out… everything that made the day so special for all of us.
I had said from the beginning of the wedding planning process that the photographer would be one of our most important expenses. The dress, the cake, the flowers — all of these things would last for one night only– but we will cherish our wedding photos forever. We are so thankful to John for his incredible work– I relive that night every time I look at his photos. We highly recommend him.

Where can I even start? John was amazing from beginning to end. My husband and I had our first photo shoot with John for our engagement photos and it was such a blast. It was nice to get a sense of his style and work together in order to get some beautiful pics. We had complete trust in him when it came to the wedding day and our expectations were fully met. I had sent photo ideas I liked for him to know photo ops I was looking for and I think we were able to make all of them happen. Anytime I looked up on our wedding day, John was there and was making sure to capture every moment. Our guests raved about him all night and we have gotten TONS of compliments from our friends when they saw our pictures. I promise anyone who books John will love his personality, style, friendliness and way to make a wedding go from great to perfect!

Choosing John as our wedding photographer was one of the easiest decisions we made during the entire wedding planning process. At our initial consultation together, we immediately knew we would be in good hands because of his professionalism, positive attitude and beautiful work portfolio.
We definitely were not disappointed come the wedding day when he did an impressive job of corraling (more like herding cats) a 16 person wedding party, 5 flower girls, 1 ring bearer plus a ton of super chatty family members. He did all of this with ease while beautifully and artistically capturing our most cherished moments.
We are very thankful to have had the opportunity to work with John and his photography company. A true professional on all levels!

John is by far the most attentive and detail oriented photographer we met and wanted to hire. We just completed our engagement photos with him and they look AMAZING! He does an excellent job of making you feel welcome and comfortable and giving direction during a shoot, especially to people who don’t take professional photographs often. We would both highly recommend him to anyone that wants a caring, organized, and artistic type photographer. HE’S THE BEST! No question about it!

My husband and I selected John as our photographer for our June 2008 wedding — and we were not disappointed. John was friendly and professional, he worked with us on budget and we found it easy to trust him and feel relaxed as he took charge of the visual memories for our special day.
One of the things we looked for in a photographer was the ability to make the photo come to life. We knew we were on the right path when looking at John’s portfolio. When looking at the photos, especially the candid shots, it felt as if we were looking at friends, people we knew, even though they were perfect strangers. John captures this essence in his photos, and we feel he captured them on our special day too.
Other details that come to mind — we were married on an incredibly hot afternoon in June. John dressed professionally — he could have fit in as a guest — and never once complained about the heat. Similarly, I’ve heard others complain that a photographer rushed them. If anything, the opposite was true about John. He seemed to want to make sure that we as the bride and groom were happy and relaxed.
I highly recommend John as a wedding/​engagement photographer. And, having seen some of his travel photography, I would recommend him for artistic and travel work as well. He really knows how to make things look good.

Honestly… John Boone Photography always impresses me with the shots they get, love it! You will not be disappointed with this company… high end, chic, and very professional~

John is the man.
My wife and I used him as a photographer for our wedding just over a year ago, and he was incredible!
We knew John was the right fit for us the first time we met him. When we initially visited John for a consultation and interview, he on his own offered us a snack kit filled with Capri suns, pita and hummus, and string cheese to take with us on our drive back up to the Bay Area (Where we live full time).
On our actual wedding day, John was very friendly, accommodating, fun and professional. He stayed on schedule, carefully listened to our wants and needs, and made all of our family and friends feel extremely comfortable when taking posed portraits. He even partied a bit with us at the end of the night!
He has great ideas and obviously takes amazing photos.
We’ve already recommended him to all of our friends getting married in the LA area, so it goes without saying we think he’s great, and recommend him to all of you as well!

John Boone is an amazing photographer, professional and has an amazing eye, talent and equipment, not to mention patience and experience to help you get the shots you need for your life, event or anything else.
He helped me with my wedding, and without him, we would actually not have been as coordinated and on schedule throughout the ceremony and reception. His package offerings are more than competitive considering the high quality of photos you will receive, not to mention the personal attention, his ability to use light, sun, sunsets, settings, and many personalities — might I add he helped us while he was partially injured!
Highly recommended.
