We first met John Rizzo at my husband's brother's wedding in 2012, where he had done the wedding…read moreand engagement package, to the fullest. The photos were elegant, and sharp, and he truly captured the feeling, and crowd, and the fun of their wedding.
When we started planning our wedding in 2013, I didn't even research other photographers. I got in touch with John, first, hoping he could work with us, and would work with us.
He got back to me immediately, and even remembered us from the wedding in 2012--of course my husband was the best man, so it helped :-)--and although he was working on a project in Africa, he was happy to talk to us about our needs, and the estimates and dates, etc.
We actually wanted something a bit unique in terms of a wedding photographer, and a special type of package. He was so happy to accommodate, and work with our needs.
Being so busy before the big day, it was wonderful to receive an email from John confirming the when and where's. On the day, John was early, and immediately went to work capturing every second, and interesting visual. As the bride, I didn't even feel him there, although when I saw the photos, he was EVERYWHERE. And captured every moment...so many more moments than I could have ever been aware of. There were some photos that were so amazing of guests at the wedding that we had them printed and framed for them. Of course there were so may wonderful portraits of us, the bride and groom, and the family, (although let's be honest...always a bit scary to look at so many pictures of yourself...:-) that we are still realizing that we need another printed, and another, and another.
After the wedding, we received our photos and package from John within a few weeks!! It was amazing!
I feel like we were a bit luckier than most, because John is a multi-purpose photographer...commercial work, magazine covers, large events, and we were able to snag him for our wedding.
I would recommend him, and have recommended him for all important events, and even family portraits, or special events. I would be thrilled to work with him again, and am happy to know that he has a new office just down the road from us!
Thank you John!!
