I love my job...

This is why I love what I do... I received this review last night...

"I booked JohnLoPhoto the minute I met John LoConte because his professionalism and portfolio gave me a sense of quality... and boy did he deliver. I signed the contract with him six months prior to my wedding in Cape Cod. In those six months, he emailed me numerous times to update me on his new work so I can get a sense of the style of photos I would like for my own wedding. As the big day drew closer, he followed up with me to get a "shotlist" and in looking back at my photos, he got a shot of everything on that list (and then some). John arrived at the hotel room as me and my bridesmaids were getting ready, and he just hopped right in, documenting the chaos without adding to it. He was unobtrusive, and captured the moments beautifully and artistically. He then went to see the groom and his groomsmen, and this was priceless, to see photos of the guys pinning their boutonnieres and giving toasts prior to the ceremony. When we arrived at the venue, John proceed to take group photos and communicated effectively with us to get the right shots within the limited timeframe. He again captured the essence of the friendships within the groups. During the ceremony and reception, I hardly ever saw John, because he was so discrete, but when I saw the photos I was amazed at how well he photographed every detail, from the linens, to the party favors, and of course all the guests and family members. He did an outstanding job. I would say my favorite thing that he delivered were our couples photos. Immediately following the ceremony, John came in the limo with us and took some of the most amazing photos I have ever seen. We arrived at the beach and only had 30 minutes to take family and bride/groom photos. Within this short time, he managed to get 20+ people to pose and end up with 30+ perfect photos of us (all eyes open and smiling... that's an accomplishment!) He also took the most amazing photos of my new husband and I, they are actually beyond words. Long story short, I would HIGHLY recommend JohnLo Photography for any bride who is looking for vibrant photos that will tell your story forever. He truly is so naturally talented and you'll be so happy with your photos. Everyone has asked me how I found him, and have had numerous friends book with him as a result. I would book him ASAP before his calendar fills up!"

Joyce & Sam - Engaged!

This week we had an engagement session with Joyce & Sam. They had contacted me a while back about setting up a shoot and I've been looking forward to meeting them! We had a picture perfect Wednesday afternoon and shot at some really great locations. We started out downtown at the Boston Common/Public Garden. After that we headed over to the Memorial Drive/Cambridge, MA area and got some great shots with the city in the background. Last but not least we headed over to Medford, MA and shot at Wellington Station which is a MBTA stop by their apartment. I had such a good time with Joyce & Sam and I'm really happy with the end result. Posted above are a few samples from the shoot... Enjoy! :)

Krystal & Mychal - Engaged!

This weekend we had an engagement shoot with Krystal & Mychal. They are from CT but decided to do their engagement pictures in Boston due to the fact that they got engaged here! Krystal had booked me for their wedding back in January over emails so I was very excited to finally meet her. We started out walking around Fenway Park and got some really creative shots with the exterior of the park in the background. After that we drove over to the North End where they got engaged and got some really great pictures. The picture above with the Bacco sign in the background is actually in front of the restaurant where Mychal popped the question! After the North End we headed over to the waterfront area where the new multi-million dollar public toilet was out of service! Gotta love Boston... I'm really happy with how everything turned out and I had such a great evening with both Krystal & Mychal... I'm very excited to see them again on their big day in November! Another engagement session coming up during the week... Stay tuned!

Hanin & Greg

This weekend was the wedding of Hanin & Greg and what a beautiful wedding it was! They got married at Nauticus Marina on Cape Cod which was amazing. The ceremony was outdoors in front of a beautiful lighthouse and the reception was right next to it in this beautiful tent on the main lawn. The weather was gorgeous and the views of the water were just wonderful. For the formal shots we took a short limo ride to a beach that Greg spent a lot of time on when we was growing up. The beach ended up being amazing and everybody turned into instant celebrities with the locals! After that we headed back to the Marina and the celebration began! I'm really super happy with all of the pictures and the hard part is going to be picking which ones to retouch since there are so many great ones! I'm going to be putting all of them on the website in the next few weeks or so but for now enjoy the samples posted above! Off to another engagement shoot we go! :)
