I’m so glad I went with John Paul Studios as our photographer/ videographer for our wedding day. John, Adele, and their team are absolutely incredible and they all work great with each other and to me that’s important when you have a photographer and videographer capturing one of the most important days of your life. From my engagement photos, to the wedding photos and videos I was extremely in love with all of their work and they captured every single moment (including bloopers 😂) on our wedding day. Thank you guys so so so much ❤️

made the entire planning process feel smooth and stress-free. They took the time to truly understand our vision and priorities, and it showed in every interaction. On the wedding day, they were calm, confident, and seamlessly guided the timeline without ever feeling intrusive. They made us feel comfortable in front of the camera, captured both the big moments and the quiet, meaningful ones, and worked so naturally with our other vendors. Their attention to detail and ability to anticipate moments before they happened was truly impressive. If you’re looking for a team that is talented, reliable, and genuinely invested in telling your story, John Paul Studios is the perfect choice. We couldn’t be happier with our experience and would recommend them without hesitation.

phy and DJ package. The team truly made our engagement photos, planning and big day unforgettable. Adel and Brittany captured each magical moment of our day—from getting ready, the first look, and candid shots, to our private dance and send-off at the end of the night. John kept the energy high and engaged with all our guests at the reception, creating perfect moments on the dance floor. The QR code provided for guests to upload their photos and videos made it easy for us to relive those memories the next day! And the 360 photo booth was such a hit! We are beyond grateful to everyone at John Paul Studios who contributed to making our wedding day perfect in every way! Thank you all for going above and beyond; we couldn’t have asked for a better team!

em for about an hour. We knew it was meant to be! They not only worked with us very well but also worked with our celebrant and venue to coordinate the smaller details. We had DJ Darrel as our DJ who did a great job with the music and keeping the party alive (and had no problems cutting the party short because we got tired towards the end!). John Paul Studios made sure to get every important detail from us, and we can't recommend them enough!

They walked through the venue twice with us, once leading up to and once before the wedding, so that they had a good knowledge of what to expect and how they could best use their equipment. They did a fantastic job of capturing the service and the joy in our faces throughout the night. We would highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for a quality group of photographers to capture their special day.

We also got our video and photos back very quickly!

Afterwards, he kept in communication about our wedding video process and then delivered excellent videos that we will cherish for the rest of our lives. Thank you so much JPS!

ey made the day a breeze. We had multiple locations we wanted to pre-wedding photos at, and we wanted to get some photos from the afterparty. They had no issue with the multiple venues.

I would highly recommend them to anyone.

Catie C

Wonderful and easy to work with photographer/videographer team! Their pricing was good, and I loved the package options, especially when it came to a second photographer, video, ...

etc. They were very easy to work with throughout the entire process. They were so kind and flexible it was amazing. We realized a few weeks before the wedding that the initial 8 hr. package we booked wasn’t going to be enough time. When we contacted them, they were quick to respond and we were able to add additional hours as needed. Working with them was a wonderful experience, even when weather changes meant changing our locations/schedule entirely. When last minute delays made the reception start later than planned, they were able to stay over an additional hour to catch the dances, bouquet toss, etc. Too soon to get the photos/video back, but I'm excited to see how they turn out! After working with John and Adele, I'm confident they captured the joy and fun of the day.

Jamie D

John and Adele were both phenomenal to work with. John is so easy to talk to and did an amazing job as our DJ! He kept the party moving and people on the dance floor! Adele was so ...

easy to work with as our photographer. She got all the photos done that I requested with plenty of time to spare and stayed with us all night capturing anything and everything she could, I cannot wait to get our pictures back!

Karynn M

Amazing group of people to work with! Great attention to detail and amazing video footage from the drone point of view! SO glad he recommended to keep that!

Loraine S

All I can say about John Paul Studios is...BOOK THEM! We chose them for our daughter's wedding in April and couldn't be more pleased. John and Adel, his wife, treated my daughter, ...

her husband and the wedding party with kindness and respect from start to finish. John was professional and fun loving, and his humor helped ease the tension of the busy day! Together, they produced an awesome video with drone footage, and special effects that amazed our family and friends. The photography was so beautifully done and edited that the pictures could be in Bride's magazine. Adel took special attention to detail in setting up each pose for the camera. She was so sweet and personable. As the DJ, John chose music that was popular, and that people could easily dance to. From the ceremony to the reception, all the important moments we didn't want missed were captured in photo and film. The package price was also very worth it!

As a bride, you want to be shown in the best light possible and they made sure that every shot accented my beautiful features. I truly appreciate the time that John and Adel put into setting up unique shots. They are a DREAM TEAM and I can't wait to see their amazing work up close. It was a joy to work with them and I hope to again in the future! You will not regret your choice to work with them. Just do it! With High Regards, Rebecca & Carlos
