Costello Photography

John and Doris were the first photographers we met when planning our wedding. We knew right away after meeting with them and seeing their previous work how great they would be. They helped make our day comfortable and fun while being accommodating and professional. We are in love with our photos ...they are gorgeous! We now have the most amazing memories to remember our big day.

John and Doris were so accommodating and easy going. Very professional. Fun to work with.

Our pictures turned out beautiful and John and Doris were always available when we needed to meet or discuss anything. We had a lot of fun taking pictures and were amazed at how beautiful they all tuned out! Thank you Costello photography !!!

John and Doris are great photographers! They were so flexible with working around our schedules to meet to discuss our contract. They were very familiar with our other vendors and worked well with everyone the day of the wedding. The bridal party and families loved working with them also! John and Doris really made the process of taking pictures light-hearted and fun. They also were able to capture some of the best candid moments of our wedding! They did such a great job, next time we see them we'll give them the 'big squeeze'.

Our pictures turned out amazing, Costello Photography did a beautiful job with our photo album. They were very flexible for out of town clients. I highly recommend for future events.

John and Doris Costello should nickname themselves as "The Dynamic Duo !" My wife and I had a wonderful experience with "Costello Photography" . From start to finish John and Doris were flexible, reassuring, professional, kind hearted and super creative. We just got our final wedding book back and we were blown away at how beautifully it came out. I have never seen such creativity in wedding photos such as these ! John and Doris were with us every step of the way, If we had a question they were extremely prompt in getting back to us. They made our wedding day stress free and really fun. They were a blast to work with.

I actually already commented with my review of Costello Photography the day of my wedding, but we just got our albums back, and we could not be happier with them! They are beautiful and truly capture the special moments from our wedding! Our parents are also very happy with their parent albums! John and Doris actually upgraded our album so it is a little bigger than we expected, which is fine with us!! The pages are so thick, and will definitely withstand the test of time! Everyone has complemented us on how unique our album is since it is not a traditional album with pictures inserted into slots. The pages actually are the pictures, it's great! We love the way the pictures are arranged in the album and some of the different effects used on the edges of the pictures. We could not be happier with our pictures, and would definitely recommend Costello Photography!

Costello Photography is the best! My sister was actually considering them for her wedding and took me along. I fell in love with their work, and booked them within the next few days. They are very responsive and worked with me to create a package that met all of my needs. I was willing to pay a little extra for my photographer, (no matter who I chose), because the photos are a lasting keepsake of that special day, so it was worth it to me to invest in a good quality photographer. I think their rates are very reasonable considering what I got in my package: I had two photographers all day (John did the color photos and Doris did the black & white), I got 4x6 prints of every single photo, an album with 80 photos, two parents' albums with 20 photos in each for both of our parents, a DVD with all of our photos in hi-res, and a framed 11x13 print of one of our images! We are soooo pleased with all of our pictured; it was so hard to pick just 80 for the album. John and Doris got some great shots, some poses are very creative and turned out great! I had a few ideas of my own for different poses at the reception, and they were more than willing to work with us! I had even asked them to go to my husband's parents' house so that they could get pictures of the guys getting ready. I'm so glad we did that, because now I have some great images of him before the wedding, (because it's his day, too!). We had a big wedding party (10 guys and 5 girls), and they made an effort to learn everyone's names! Our parents were complimenting on how nice it was to hear them talk to all of us by name; it was like they knew all of us! I couldn't be more pleased with their services and the quality of their work. I'd definitely recommend them to other brides! My one bridesmaid (who's not even engaged) asked me for their card so she can save it for when she does start planning a wedding! Thank you, Costello Photography!!

We are thrilled with our photos! John and Doris were wonderful. On the day of the wedding, they got to our venue before us in order to be prepared. They were fast and yet captured every possible photo that we wanted. We had given them a list of photos that we wanted to be sure to have, and they followed our list carefully and got every photo. The poses were beautiful, the variety of shots was tremendous, and we ended up with over 500 photos. We don't know how we will be able to make an album because there are so many fantastic shots! John and Doris were totally unobtrusive and kind and funny, and most importantly, professional. We recommend them highly!

John and Doris are unbelievable. I had previously been to my brothers, sisters and best friends wedding. They all used Costello. I was already sold on John and Doris; I had to convince the bride to be that they were the best. After talking to John and Doris for 5 minutes she was convinced they were the ones. What I like most about John and Doris is that you never know they are there. That is a key to me. I like that we can party and have fun and not have to stop and pose for 1,000 pictures. John and Doris are very creative and I have seen some of my photos listed online. They look FANTASTIC! John and Doris are easy to work with and very polite. The price was great and unlike most photographers you have them for the day. I couldnt be any more happy with them. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a great photographer. If you dont believe me just go and talk to them. Once you do you will be sold!!

John and Doris of Costello Photography did an amazing job with my wedding photographs. John was hilarious and put my camera shy family at ease as he took pictures. All of the photos were natural. My bridal party especially appreciated how quick and efficient the Costello's were. My fiancé and I are thrilled that we selected Costello Photography!

Great to work with. Pictures came out great. Having the DVD of pictures afterwards was what we needed for more copies.

I would highly reccommend Costello Photograhy to anybody I know. Both John and Doris provided excellent service and made our wedding day so memorable. The photos are seriously fantastic and captured amazing moments for our wedding day!

Having John as our wedding photographer was a pleasure. He was charistmatic, flexible, professional, and helped to make us feel comfortable throughout the whole process. We are so pleased with the wedding pictures and are happy that we went with Costello Photography! We now have many great memories captured in wonderful photographs that we'll have forever. Thank you!

Costello Photography was a pleasure to work with during the planning as well as the day of our wedding. We picked up our pictures today and they are absolutely beautiful. Their work is exceptional and they were so easy to work with! We highly recommend Costello Photography!

I've had received so many compliments about my wedding photos -- it's overwhelming! Doris and John are just so talented and truly love what they do. The best part is that when they arrived the morning of my wedding, it felt like they were just apart of the family. They are very kind, personable as well as organized. They even got GREAT shots of our 3 year old son and I had no idea! Every bride wants good pictures, and Thanks to John and Dorris I have beautiful pictures to cherish forever <3

I highly recommend Costello Photography. John and Doris were a pleasure to work with; they made posing for pictures fun instead of tedious. All the pictures came out natural and beautiful. When looking for a photographer for any occasion I urge you to at least look at Costello's work on their website it truly speaks for itself...you will not be disappointed!

My wife and I couldn't have asked for more from Costello. I would recommend to everyone!

Great pictures, great personalities, and alot of fun to work with.

John and Doris were an absolute pleasure to work with. We felt like we were working with people who we've known our whole lives! They brought a sense of home to our entire experience. The day of the wedding, they were extremely calming, helpful, professional, caring, and best of all, lots of fun! Our photos came out beautiful. They were able to capture moments of pure joy, happy tears, bigs hugs and sweet kisses, and sheer comedy! We are trying to think of times in the near future where we could use their services again.

Words cannot express the gratitude I have towards Costello Photography. My wedding day from start to finish was beautifully captured...every major and minor moment was caught on film and I have over 600 proofs to prove it!

John and Doris were the photographers for my brother's wedding in 2006, and since then I knew that no matter what, they had to photograph my wedding (note: I didn't even know my husband back then)

Doris was actually sick on our wedding day, so we had John and a helpful photographer stand-in, Carl, as our photographers. They were both so professional and so amazing to work with! Both of them had such enthusiasm on my wedding day while taking pictures...their enthusiasm may have out did my own!

From start to finish Costello Photography was simply amazing. Originally, we were supposed to have a 35 person wedding, very casual, then within the month of booking Costello as our photographers, it turned into a traditional wedding with almost 200 guests! They were completely understanding and flexible!

From the moment John and Carl walked into my home to get the pre-wedding shots, it was amazing and not intrusive at all; I really didn't even feel like they were there until we started posing. We had some great laughs, which of course provided great pictures with sincere smiles! They captured so much from the wedding and reception that Vince and I didn't even realize they were snapping pictures!

I cannot thank Costello Photography enough for making our wedding day so memorable and beautiful. The album is utterly beautiful and the proofs were amazing and not to be forgotten....the customer service and friendliness was hands down the best!! Everything was just perfect and I cannot thank Costello Photography enough for giving us such wonderful memories of our wedding day!

Trust them. They know what they are doing.

John and Doris are great photographers! Pre-wedding pictures, my husband never liked to smile, so I had one request to John- make him smile in my wedding pictures! Sure enough....he did! My husband has a GREAT smile. And thanks to John and Doris, his smile was so perfect in the pictures and he smiled so much, he ALMOST looked better than me! haha. Post wedding pictures, he now smiles! In addition to capturing beautiful shots...from posed pcitures to genuine candids, John and Doris are also very flexible. They also did a really good job blending in...so good, that I practically forgot they were even there! Also, an added bonus is that for their price, you get color and black and white photos and will have two photographers there(one shoots color and the other shoots black and white). Needless to say, it has been a pleasure working with them and I highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for a photographer for their wedding day.

Tim and I had so much fun at our wedding, and Doris and John took pictures of it all! They had so much experience, and were so calm and organized, that we never felt hurried yet it all got done. Even when my sister's family showed up just before the wedding, he made sure we got pictures including her at the reception. I was so pleased with the photos, and that he got them back to us to look at in time for ordering for Christmas presents, even though our wedding was in mid-November. I would definitely recommend them to any bride.

John and Doris were very professional and everyone loved the photos. We will definitley recommend them to anyone!

Costello Photography was amazing. You could actually speak to them when you called - they were flexible about times and locations - we did our pictures at an arboretum about a half hour from the reception and they took wonderful pictures and even got us back in time for our cocktail hour! Also, they interrupted their own dinners to take special request group shots that we asked of them during the reception. Afterwards they were friendly, easy to deal with and gave us a great deal on our pictures.

Highly Highly Highly recommend for future events!

Costello Photographers were amazing. They're professionalism during the day and their pictures were outstanding and would recommend them to anyone. I was beyond thrilled with their service and have nothing but excellent things to say.

We cannot say enough about John and Doris. They are the perfect combinaton of everything that a couple is looking for on their wedding day....true professionalism, reliability, flexibility, creativeness, and most important FUN! The best part is that you get all of the above and more for an extremely reasonable price. They were able to capture the entire day's events without being at all obtrusive. Mother Nature was less than kind to us on our wedding day. However, you would never have known it by looking at our pictures. We couldn't be happier with the job that Costello Photography did. We would recommend them to every couple that is looking for the BEST photographer for their special day. Thank you John and Doris!!!

John and Doris were both amazing. From our first meeting to our last, they were very professional, helpful, and attentive. We got a lot for the price that we paid. I was very happy that we got all of our photos on 5x7 prints. There are not many photographers that will do that. Costello Photography exceeded our expectations and were very accommodating with our wants and needs. They captured our wedding in the most amazing way and we will cherish these photos forever! I would recommend them to anyone!

John and Doris did a fantastic job of photographing our wedding! I was so surprised when we got our proofs back at how many pictures they were able to get without us even knowing it...you don't even realize they're there! They were professional and so accommodating to us. My sister and brother-in-law had used them for their wedding in 2004, so I was able to witness their work first hand and knew they would do a great job...and they did! I would highly recommend Costello Photography to any future brides and grooms.

They were great, everyone loved them at the wedding, would strongly recommend to both family and friends

Definitely would recommend to those in the area. Very easy to get along with and their work is top quality.

Prior to our wedding day, John and Doris were very responsive to any questions or additional shots I requested for them to take. John and Doris are flexible and are open to any suggestions. They maintained professional, while also having fun joking around with my family and friends. My husband and I have so many great shots to choose from. There was a great balance between traditional, candid, and unique shots. Some perspective shots and other unique shots John and Doris captured is what makes Costello Photography stand out above any other photographer.

So glad we decided on Costello Photography to photograph our wedding. John and Doris were very professional and so helpful through the whole planning process. When we picked up our proofs we were extremely happy with them. It was so hard choosing the pictures for our wedding album, considering we loved them all. We couldn't be more happy with our coffee table album and love showing it off. We highly recommend Costello Photography!

John and Doris were absolutely wonderful to work with through the whole wedding planning process. On the day of our wedding they were very professional and we are thrilled with the end product.

We were very happy that we chose Costello photography. They were very professional and helped with the flow of the day. They really kept us on the timeline. The pictures came out incredible too. As teacher, some of my current and former students came to our ceremony. John and Doris gathered my students together so we can take a group photo after the ceremony. We would recommend Costello photography to our family and friends!

Thank you so much! We were truly impressed with your work and the quality of our photos! You are both truly masters in your field!

John and Doris thanyou very much for everything. They did such a great job, the pictures turned out beautiful. I would recommend them to any couple looking for a wedding photographer. They are so helpful and kind, and made my wedding a day I will remeber forever thanks to all the pricless pictures they took.

John and Doris are such nice people who love what they do! They, as a long time married couple, work great together. Pictures are beautiful! I loved the black and white pictures which Doris shot all night. They offer an a-la-carte menu which was great for what we were looking for! If you didn't want something, you just didn't purchase it. Only negative for me was the quality of the pictures and using the environment/background to their artistic advantage. I thought they could have been a little bit more creative with their angles, zoom lenses, etc. in order to capture great, intimate moments. Most shots were modern but nothing too daring or risky and new and brilliant. Challenge these guys a little to step outside their comfort zone.

Costello Photography has been a fantastic partner for my company. We have worked together on a photo shoot for our newly renovated space and John also photographed a very important event as well!

His professionalism combined with the quality of his work made choosing him a no brainer! I highly recommend Costello Photography!

Costello Photography was absolutely amazing! We could not have been more pleased. I have sent all of my friends to Cotello. We just received our album and I am over the moon happy! I can't stop looking at it. From the first meeting with John and Doris, I knew that we'd get along. They are so personable, flexible, and truly listened to what Mike and I wanted from our photographer at our wedding. We had a lot of elements to our wedding and Costello truly captured every moment and every emotion. We are much more into candid shots and they definitely got the shots we wanted. We wanted to enjoy our special day and not be pulled away for pictures. John and Doris were very good at "blending in". My mom didn't even notice that they were taking shots of the ceremony from every angle and thought they didn't get anything...when in fact, they got it all on camera! Amazing! Any bride that asks about photographers...send them to Costello, they will be so happy they went with them!

Costello Photography was nothing short of a miracle team of professional, talented, and creative team of indiviuduals I have ever had the pleasure of working with. I cannot tell you the compliments we have recieved on our individual wedding pictures, along with our gorgeous wedding album. We truly were able to enjoy our wedding not only on the day of, but for forever in pictures. I HIGHLY recommend Costello Photography for ALL types of brides. They're THE BEST!!!!!!!

I absolutely love my wedding pictures. My album is unlike any I had seen before I went to Costello. It is so unique, I can't stop looking at it! Everytime I look at my pictures, whether it be my album or my proofs, I find something I hadn't seen before.

Costello photography captured all the best moments of my wedding. They were so great with my 4 year old daughter. They even went to my grandmoms to take pictures with her since she couldnt be at the wedding. I would definitely recommend them!

The Costello team is so professional, warm, welcoming, organized, and inviting. We recommend upgrading to the coffee table books as they are well worth their unique presentation. Still receiving compliments today, 9 months later.

Costello Photography is unbelievable. They were very professional, kind and patient. They came to my house in the morning and stayed with us all day and night till the end of the reception.The pictures and the wedding album was even more beautiful than we were hoping it would be. I would recommend Costello Photography to anyone for any occasion because you won't be dissappointed at all. Best photographers around in and around the Philadelphia area hands down.

Costello Photographers were amazing! They took all the pictures I asked for and so many more. The creative and artistic way the created images to capture our special day was beyond all of my expectations. My guests all commented on how they barely even noticed the photographers, they were so good at being in the background but still catching everything on film. I can't even tell you the amount of times people said "I didn't know they took that picture!" while looking at our album.

Our album is gorgeous and we will treasure it forever. Jon and Doris truly have a gift and we feel so blessed they shared their artistic abilities with us to help capture the happiest day of our lives. Every single recommendation, from location of outside pictures to single photo shots, they were right on target. I am constantly recommending them to friends and family!

Attentive to detail, responsive to all of our special requests, classic yet creative – the list goes on and on. We can’t thank Costello Photography enough for their part in making our wedding day the memorable occasion that we wanted it to be. It is hard to beat the combination of being both professional and personable, and they more than met that standard. John and Doris Costello's considerable talents would be an asset to anyone looking to engage a photographer in the future.

John and Doris are an absolute pleasure to work with. They are both incredibly talented. In addition to their professional talent, they are wonderful people. They have such a nice way about them. They will make your wedding day an absolute delight. John and Doris will capture every moment of your day in the most unique way and will create a wedding albumn that will be far superior to any that you will see. Costello Photography is without a doubt the BEST choice to make for your wedding photographer!

Costello Photography, more personally John and Doris, provide service exceeding exceptional. Their ability to capture not just the picture, but the emotion and excitement of your event, as well as tell the story without words through their work is priceless. John and Doris welcome you into their home as if you are family and work with you individually to make sure that all of your needs are addressed and met for your big day, in our case, our wedding. As every bride is anxious to see their pictures, John and Doris never let you fall into a "waiting and wondering" stage, as their service is timely and efficient. As Costello Photography has been used in our family for our events, as well as highly recommended by others, we encourage everyone to get in contact them with them today!

Costello Photography was recommended to be by a family member who had also used them. They were alot of fun throughout the entire wedding day and were a pleasure to work with. Our photos turned out beautiful. I would gladly recomend them to any other Bride.

They were awesome to work with

We couldn't have been more pleased with our experience with John & Doris. They really helped make our wedding day very special -- from helping us feel at ease the day of all the way to providing absolutely gorgeous photos that captured the day perfectly! While we knew they were there catching every moment we desired...they did it in such a way that you didn't even notice them. Every interaction we had with them was such a pleasure -- they are down to earth, reasonable & flexible, creative, talented and just truly wonderful people to deal with!

The Costellos are fabulous! They made the day flow smoothly and thought of every way to capture the memories perfectly. They are very professional to work with and I highly recommend them.

John and Doris were a great asset to our wedding day experience! They made sure we stuck to our schedule, gave sugggestions on different pictures, and really made our whole wedding party's experience great... even with the smaller children who sometimes get a little tired throughout the day. We would highly reccomend John and Doris!

Extremely pleased with everything! They did a great job the day of the wedding. I loved all of my photos and they worked with me to create a package that was just right for me. Couldn't have been happier. I recommend them to anyone I know getting married.

John and Doris are amazing photographers! We couldn't have been more pleased with the prints and quality. They were helpful and responded quickly to any questions we had. The 'book' wedding album is my absolute favorite part...everyone raves about it!!

These are some of the best wedding pics I've seen for a mid-range priced photographer. But here are the pros & cons:

Pros: Our pics were gorgeous. We had over 500 to choose from. They have one shooting in B&W, and another shooting in color. They have some pretty nice signature shots in their repertoire.

Cons: We did find them to be a *tad* intrusive (snapping at our family & bridal party). However I realize in retrospect that it was necessary to get everyone in one spot to take the darn pictures, so it really wasn't the photographer's fault & they did a good job.

Biggest con: They never got the list of shots we wanted and didn't tell us! So there were some pretty major pics that were missed, and many that we plain didn't want. Our family is pretty complicated and there were a lot of wasted pics because the wrong person was in the wrong photograph.

Advice if you are using Costello: Get them your list of pictures ahead of time....including pics you do NOT want and could never put in the family album (like mom with dad with dad's current girlfriend! LOL) Make sure you are on time and the bridal party knows where to be for pictures and when. Make sure they understand what you want, and what types of shots you may not comfortable with (I didn't love the picture of all the sexy bridesmaids kissing my new husband on the cheek.)

But overall they are PHENOMENAL photographers, the photos are beautiful, and they are nice and easy to deal with.

P.S. Be prepared for high prices and the upsell attempt.

We love the pictures and DVD (which we watched 3 times yesterday.) You did a fabulous job. How are we supposed to choose????

Thank you so much for capturing our entire wedding day. The photographs are amazing. Family, our friends, and we were so impressed with your professionalism throughout the day.

As we look back on our wedding, we’ll have happy memories and beautiful photographs to forever mark our commitment. We’ll always treasure our photos.

We can’t thank you enough and we will be sure to recommend you.

Thank you so much for the amazing job you did for our wedding! From the engagement pictures all the way to the album, everything is beautiful! I have been looking at my album over and over. Thank you so much.

Thank you so much for taking such beautiful pictures of our wedding day. Your pictures captured every special moment.

Our wedding album looks beautiful and we look forward to sharing it with our friends and family. It was a pleasure getting to know you both and we would love to bring our kids to you someday..

We just wanted to send our sincere thanks for the excellent work you did at our wedding. Your service and professionalism reached a marquis level. The amount of great raw photographs combined with an exceptional delivery of our wonderfully designed album truly distinguishes you from others in your field.

Continue the exceptional work and service. Your clients will truly appreciate it.

The capture wonderful images of your day!

John and Doris Costello do an amazing job. I have worked personally with John for many years and his work is consistant, yet always changing with the times. His work is excellent and all of the brides I have spoken to about him, have nothing but great things to say. We are looking forward to working with John even more in the future.
