No review can do John Munno justice! We loved him!!!

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!

What a perfect day with a perfect photographer!

"We hired John Munno last summer, a year ahead of our summer wedding. From the first contact, John was absolutely wonderful to work with. He had three consultations with us over the course of the year and answered SO many questions for us. He truly knows wedding planning processes and made our lives so easy. We had difficulty with our venue and John helped us re-do our day of timeline, effortlessly!

I don’t even know where to begin with my gratitude and praise for his work on the day of our wedding! He was so professional and made everyone feel so comfortable. He worked with our families during family pictures to make sure even my one year old niece was in the picture and looking happy!! Our bridal party portraits and couple pictures are absolutely breathtaking. We had a solid hour where he continued to work with us and find the best spots/angles. The pictures truly took our breath away. 

At the reception, he seemed to capture every second. My mom cried looking through the album because John captured moments that she thought she had missed! Yet, he was professional and often felt invisible to us! 

John returned our pictures to us in a week and released so many wonderful sneak peeks through social media that we were able to share with our friends and family. My husband remarked that it felt like we had a team of multiple photographers and yet, it was just John, who masterfully and perfectly captured our wonderful day! I don’t think we would have pulled off our dream wedding without him. We strongly recommend John for any and all weddings!!!"  Shannon M

Beautiful Wedding Pictures!!

“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!” Kristen T

Best Photographer!

"John Munno came highly recommended by our venue! From the first time we contacted him, we knew he would be our photographer! He is so personable and wants your wedding to be the best day of your life! He was extremely accommodating to all requests! He spends ample time going over the timeline for the event and answered all of our questions! He has a special insight to make all the photos perfect! He was also known as "the ninja". How he managed to get some angles of our photos, we will never know! He worked so hard to make sure that our day was flawless! Such a wonderful human being on top of being talented! We are over the moon with the results of our wedding photos! He captured all the important moments of the day! We implore anyone to hire John!" Brittany M

“John is absolutely incredible. We were so impressed with his professionalism and body of work for our wedding and would recommend him to anyone in a heartbeat. John is kind, caring, energetic, hard working, and so amazing. The photos he took are truly breath taking and he was so communicative and helpful throughout this entire process. John, thank you so much for capturing our amazing day the way you did and all the help you gave us from start to finish!”  Rebecca M
 

A hidden gem of a photographer!
 

"John was an amazing photographer who really helped us plan our day from start to finish, and we absolutely loved his photos! We couldn't have asked for a better photographer, and his prices were incredibly reasonable for the amazing service and number of photos we received. His attention to detail really came through in our first look photos. We got married in a field surrounded by mountains, and John immediately saw the best places to frame our portraits with the mountains behind us. He also captured amazing action shots on the dance floor without getting in anyone's way. He was only one photographer, but all of the views that we got during our ceremony and reception made it look like we had hired an additional photographer. In addition, we did a lot of our wedding DIY, and it was so helpful to talk to John on the phone before the wedding date to help solidify many details that we hadn't considered, like the benefits of a first look and what details were most important to us that day. He wasn't pushy in the least, but he presented the pros and cons of each choice to help us make an informed decision, and he was flexible and accommodating. I would recommend John to anyone in the greater CT area for their wedding!"  Erin D

“John was a truly wonderful addition to our wedding day and we are absolutely thrilled with our wedding photos. John was attentive to our personal needs and made sure everyone was comfortable at every point during the day. He went above and beyond what he promised to us, and produced a beautiful collection of photographs (over 1000 of them!) He was incredibly respectful of our wishes and was not intrusive or even noticeable during the ceremony. I didn't fully appreciate it at the time, but one of the great things about John was that he checked in at various points in the planning process. We knew that the person we were speaking to on the phone was the person who would be photographing our wedding, which was also an added bonus. And the communication over time meant that we didn't have to stress out about directing John on the day - we'd planned the wedding alongside him and he knew the details. Most importantly though, John is a lovely person to spend the day with and clearly cares so much about his work and the people that he photographs. All our family and friends not just raved about the photographs, but also how nice he was! We'd recommend him with no hesitation and were delighted with our experience.” Stephanie A

Beyond Excellence

"What first impressed me about John Munno was his reply to our request for a photographer.

He outline, very clearly, what he would deliver and the steps and process for how he works. He took the time to have a conference call prior to our wedding to discuss how he would work with us that day and was very receptive to us asking questions. On the day of the event he wrangled all the family members and communicated with the venue to get the best photos.  When you want a genuine professional, John Munno is it. He goes beyond being just a photographer; he is liaison between the dreams of your wedding day and the reality of beautifully captured moments." Darlene S

Better than 5 Stars

“My fiancé and I will be getting married in April 2020 and we just recently had our engagement photo shoot with John. Many of my friends who have had engagement pictures done with other photographers spoke about how awkward it was for them. Ours was anything but. John took the time to get to know my fiancé and I before, during, and after our shoot. He made us feel comfortable and at ease the whole time. His enthusiasm and complementary manner were genuine and heartfelt. He treated this day with the same importance as a wedding and provided us with over 200 beautiful engagement pictures within the week following the photo shoot. All pictures were uploaded in high resolution to a password protected website for us to view and download or share with family and friends as we please. John was the first vendor we hired and right from the start we were confident in that decision. We knew within five minutes of talking to him that he was the right photographer for us. John is honest, personable, accommodating, and takes great pride in his work. He truly enjoys what he does and as such provides great quality work at an affordable price. We are so excited to have him at our wedding next April. He takes the time to get to know each couple and to fully understand the couple’s vision for their day and what pictures are most important to them. He provides a personalized touch in everything he does, down to the handwritten cards he has sent my fiancé and I thanking us for not only hiring him, but also to let us know how much he enjoyed our engagement photo shoot.”  Elizabeth B

“John is absolutely amazing. We were so stressed about finding a wedding photographer after our original fell through--John was the first and only photographer I reached out to after that. As soon as I heard the voicemail I knew he was extremely professional, personable, and fun! We are so glad he was our wedding photographer. He captured all of the moments and details from our wedding day, from arriving early to take shots of the grounds, to many beautiful candids of our wedding guests, to our gorgeous family and bridal party portraits. Leading up the wedding John was very attentive and checked in a few times to make sure we were all on the same page, which was so helpful and put my mind at ease. During the wedding day he was flexible with the fact that our schedule was running behind--he was a calming presence and was super friendly and open to all of our ideas of certain shots to take. After the wedding he turned the photos around in record time, too! They are stunning photos and capture everything from small details, to all the emotions, to all the big and small moments of the day. A huge thank you to John and a huge "highly recommend."  Hope W

Outstanding Wedding Photography
 

John exceeded all of our expectations for our daughter's wedding photography. His selection of settings, lighting, and poses was superb, reflecting his obvious love of his art and his commitment to providing a quality product for his customers. John was seemingly everywhere, providing numerous views of all the major events of the ceremony and reception. He handles all of his equipment himself, so you're dealing with the artist-owner exclusively. The package we purchased included an engagement shoot and albums for the bride/groom and both sets of parents. Compare prices and you'll see that John provides excellent value. I highly recommend John Munno if you are looking for a quality photography product, expert artistry and a fair price.  Peter B

“John did an amazing job photographing our wedding! He was easy to work with through our entire wedding planning process. He arrived early the day of our wedding and stayed until the end of our reception. We received all of our photos a week after our wedding and we even got a few sneak peaks within days of our wedding. I'm still going through the pictures to pick out the best ones for our wedding album but it's hard to choose because we love them all!”  Bethany L.

Outstanding Photographer!

"John is an outstanding photographer.  If I was to say all the positive things I would never finish. Professional, skillful, competent, proficient and super friendly person.  I truly recommend John 100%. He as become my personal photographer for events to come.  Thank you Jon for making it look so easy. You were everywhere in that wedding and on top of your game. Slow is Smooth, Smooth is Fast, that's  how I describe his process!"  Angel R

Absolutely Wonderful

"John is a phenomenal photographer! My husband and I got married 2 weeks ago and just received our photos! We are so pleased with how they turned out and couldn't ask for more. He listened to exactly what we wanted and more than delivered. Our guests, and family/friends who couldn't make it, are so thrilled to see our photos and we have had so many compliments! John was very unobtrusive, just did his job so wonderfully and we had no doubt that our photos wouldn't be less than perfect. We highly recommend John, he's not only a great photographer, but such a kind, sweet person who is just so genuine! We'll definitely hire him for any family photos we need in the future and I have 3 friends getting married next year, RECOMMENDED" Stephanie S

"John was amazing from the first day we contacted him! We saw his beautiful portfolio online and decided to contact him, he answered promptly and with wonderful customer service. John helped us find the perfect outdoorsy location for our engagement shoot and with less than 48 hours notice of good weather we were able to all meet to make that shoot happen very quickly. Throughout our entire wedding planning process, John made sure to check in with us regularly. He also was open to any photo ideas we had and figured out a way to make them all beautiful! We created a shared Pinterest board of photos I found online that I liked, so he could see the style we liked, as well. We had some challenges with our venue for portrait locations due to the lighting angles and John visited the site multiples times before the wedding and came early on our wedding day to find the perfect spot for us! Our ceremony also ran a little late, due to some weather changes and John was able to organize people and get all the shots we really wanted within the time we had. He was laid back, energetic, and so encouraging throughout our entire planning process and the actual shoots (for two people that aren't usually great at modeling)! John is a wonderful photographer and we highly recommend him to anyone searching for someone to capture their perfect day!"  Dayle M

"We just received our photos from our engagement shoot with John and we couldn't be happier. He listened to the vision we had and picked the PERFECT spot for the photos. He made us feel comfortable in front of the camera which was such a relief. He was very flexible and responsive when planning the shoot, and we got over 100 AMAZING photos in just over 1 week. We can't wait for him to photograph our upcoming wedding. I would definitely recommend John to anyone who asks!" Erin S

“We had the pleasure of working with John from May-Dec, 2018. After our first meeting at his studio we were impressed and comfortable enough to go on contract immediately. We were very impressed with John's professionalism, photography expertise and experience, along with his honest answers to our questions, enthusiasm, reassuring manner and friendliness. At no time did we ever doubt John was not the best person for our wedding.

Planning: We had several phone conferences to review and coordinate our wedding day timeline plan and photo list, which covered three locations across Milford and Trumbull. John wanted to make sure everything was covered and was willing to hold as many calls as required to insure everything was covered, organized and executed perfectly.

Photography: John spared no effort to insure all our requested wedding photos would be captured. He stopped at our reception venue prior to arriving early at the church to ensure he captured the table setups and church decorations before any guest arrivals. His coverage of the ceremony was inclusive while not being intrusive. He followed along with last minute unscheduled changes to our post-ceremony location. Our beach photos felt like a professional photo-shoot. John's friendly and encouraging manner made the photos a joyous event and not the least stressful. Our portraits came out great! His reception coverage was exceptional. Guests commented that he was everywhere! His exceptional expertise and photographic knowledge were truly on display capturing every major activity and special nuances. We received a email link to all of our 1000-plus photos within a week to share with our guests, as well as receiving the mailed memory stick.

Album: John's dedication to making the customer happy is extraordinary. It was tough trying to narrow down the album photo selections from the large assortment of photos covering our day. John was always open to our input and suggestions. John went through multiple iterations of our album design with us, including additional requested editing, to ensure we received the perfect wedding album. He even upgraded our album to provide us with the cover that we wanted. Once finalized, we received the album in a week and it is gorgeous. Looking forward to showing it off! We highly recommend John Munno Weddings. Thank you John!”  Kathy and Mark

Truly Cares About You!

"John takes the time to get to know his clients and sincerely means he will help make your day perfect in any way he can. John familiarized himself with the grounds and got to know our style before our big day. He captured all of our details from the ceremony and reception and got every photo we asked for and more! The photos were provided to us in one week in both color and black and white for our family and friends to access, download, or print as they would like! Thank you John for your patience, kindness, hard work, and beautiful documentation of our wedding!"  Michelle B

Amazing Job!!!
 

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!!  “Simone M”

Phenomenal!!!

"John Munno is the best photographer ever!!!!!!! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND his excellent work. He is the sweetest man and did an UNBELIEVABLY FANTASTIC job capturing the greatest day of my life! Thank you John!!!!!!!"  Heidi K

John respects his clients! Caring, comprehensive, courteous, creative...

"*****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."  Frances H

Exceptional Wedding Photographer

"John was the perfect photographer for our wedding! We met him at his studio a couple of weeks before the wedding, he helped us put together the schedule and he had some great ideas based on our preferences. By the time we started taking pictures, he was already familiar with the venue and where to go to take the best outdoor pictures. We had a great time and we're happy that John was part of the whole day. John sent us 15 pictures already the next day! And they were perfect. He sent us the remaining pictures (+800) within two weeks of the wedding. We loved all of them. Thank you, John!"  Maria G

Amazing work!

“John was incredibly passionate about making sure that every moment of our special day was captured. He checked in every few months during the planning process to make sure that the timeline he had was still accurate. He made sure that he had a list of every photo that we wanted taken during getting ready photos, the ceremony, portraits and the reception. John took amazing pictures and has a fantastic turn around time. We had our entire album edited and sent to us in less than two weeks. I would highly recommend John!" Breanna P

“John did a fantastic job! He was very attentive and went out of his way to make us comfortable and at ease. He was very easy to work with. Along with the most beautiful wedding photos we could ever want, we also gained a friend. We cannot say enough good things about John Munno!"   Grace S

Better Munno for Your Money
 

“John Munno was one of the best wedding vendors we worked with. Pricing and expectations were very straightforward, and he readily adjusted to what we wanted from him. If you can even beat his price, you would probably miss out on John's excellent attention to detail and palpable enthusiasm. 
He responds to email updates and inquiries so quickly; he may just reset your expectations for working with a vendor. We were surprised 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 and black & white). We enthusiastically recommend John, and we are glad to have worked with him.”    David S

Book 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!"  Carly W
