JIM CANOLE PHOTOGRAPHY

Jim was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. The photos he took at the wedding are gorgeous. It's been great reviewing them and seeing a million little details and moments that we were to busy to notice the day of. He truly captured our wedding perfectly and we will treasure these photos for years to come. We really appreciated that he was always completely up front with us, what he advertised is exactly what we received. If anything Jim went above and beyond. Our guests loved him and everyone we've spoken to from the wedding has commented on both how great the pictures came out and how hard Jim was working the entire night. We would absolutely recommend Jim, he was wonderful!

Great photographer. Good quality. I really hit gold in finding this gentleman. He took the time to really make me and my husband feel special and excited for our day. Thank you Jim!

Working with Jim was a great experience. He was extremely professional and great to work with. We could not be happier with the photos!

My husband and I hired Jim to be our wedding photographer after he photographed two of my friends weddings last fall. We had an engagement shoot in the spring as an add-on to our package, which I highly recommend. I was very comfortable with Jim, and I LOVE his work. On top of that, he traveled all the way from MA to our wedding location in western CT without a question! I would recommend Jim because he is extremely punctual, responded to all of my emails quickly, and our wedding photographs are incredible. He captured so many things that I was too busy to notice, which I didn't realize was such a big deal until I saw the pictures. He gets out on the dance floor and gets amazing shots of people dancing, every guest at the wedding (we had about 120, and I think he got a shot of every single guest). I am very happy with my photos and I'm sure you will be too!

Jim provided us with a wonderful mix of formal and candid pictures, many of which are breathtaking. Our wedding was challenging to capture, with the ceremony taking place in a large dark church, some pictures taken outside with varying weather, and party pictures in a ballroom. Through and through, he not only recorded the day, he captured the personalities of the wedding party and guests. His easygoing yet professional manner kept the wedding party and guests at ease, and he never stopped looking for opportunities for good shots without being the least bit intrusive. He was especially good at capturing photographs of the many children at the wedding, both formal and candid. He worked very well with both shy and extroverted kids. Before the wedding, he met with us twice and on the day of the wedding made sure to take all the pictures we - and the guests - wanted. He also showed excellent flexibility when some things did not go exactly as planned. All in all, Jim was the absolute ideal photographer.

Fabulous! Jim truly does incredible work!! He does a mixture of formal & candid shots that just come out beautiful. He is super accommodating, goes above and beyond to really capture every important moment. He has great ideas that capture the joy and magic from the day and his photos really reflect that. He provides you with a CD of all your pictures and even makes a neat slideshow of a selective few that truly bring you back to your special day.


He is very friendly, professional, and truly an amazing photographer. We highly recommend Jim. He took so many wonderful pictures, making it difficult for us to pick out our favorites :) One other aspect we enjoyed was that he is very timely, we didn't have to wait months to receive our pictures. Within just a few days we had a selective few and by the end of the month we had the rest of them. Our wedding pictures turned out beautifully and will truly hold its value for years to come. We are so grateful for Jim, THANK YOU!!!

Jim was great and easy to work with. He has an eye for great shots and his photos tell a story about the day. Not only did he get great shots of the wedding and ceremony, but he also took great pictures of other guests and couples at the wedding. People were thrilled. Lastly, his turn around time with the photos is incredibly quick. We didn't have to wait months to get the pictures, they were available right when we got back from our honeymoon.

We had Jim take both our engagement pictures and our wedding pictures and words cannot describe how happy we are with their quality! We still have guests telling us (now three months after our wedding) that they love our pictures. Each shot really captured the joy and magic of our day and told the story of our wedding. Jim went out of his way to not only take pictures of my husband and I as the bride and groom but also of our 170 guests talking, laughing, dancing, and having a terrific time. We have great shots of all of our family and friends now! And, since Jim lets his clients be the "owners" of the pictures, I have been able to share all of these pictures with our loved ones at no cost to them. Jim was very easy to work with and was always very professional. Whenever we had questions or concerns, he was quick to respond and offer explanations. He met with us a few times immediately prior to our wedding to go through our "must have" shots to make sure that we got all the photos we wanted on our big day. On the day of the wedding he arrived on time with index cards of our "must have" shots so that they were not forgotten during our hectic day! Overall, we were thrilled with our choice of Jim Canole for our wedding photography. Besides deciding to get married, it was one of the best decisions my husband and I made!

It is obvious from the very beginning Jim takes great pride in his work. He wants to make sure you love your photos and he will sit with you in advance to go over pictures you want and talk to you on the phone so that you don't need to do this on your wedding day and you can just enjoy the day. His style is the photo journalism style which is great because he doesn't interrupt special moments just to get a picture. He captures those natural looks and when you see the pictures you love them and you think "I didn't even know he was taking pictures". Jim is also friendly and very professional and I am so happy we chose him as our photographer.

Seriously, an amazing photographer!

Jim Canole is incredibly talented, creative, an innovator, punctual and very professional. He captured every wonderful moment of my very special day. The pictures honestly speak for themselves. They capture, almost like a photo-journal, the happiest day of my life. The photos are outstanding and depict the range of emotions experienced that day. I am thrilled with the quality of his work. He is super kind and a fun person to work with. He listened to all my crazy ideas and guided me through the day making most of them happen. I have to say that anyone that sees the pictures can experience and feel the energy and happiness of the day. Do not hesitate to hire Jim for your wedding.
I honestly recommend him as a professional photographer for your wedding. You will have beautiful, classy, and high quality pictures of your day.

Jim really made sure to capture the moments we wanted at our wedding. He uses his experience and knowledge to make each photo look fantastic. Jim really works to make sure he is not in the way while also taking fantastic photos. We couldn’t be happier with the outcome!

We met with several photographers before selecting Jim to photograph our wedding. We are so happy that we did! Jim did a great job! Jim's experience and creativity made us feel very comfortable. He got to know us and took the time to understand exactly what we were looking for. He was very professional and creative. Our photos were certainly non your standard wedding shots. Despite the day being rainy he got truly beautiful shots which we love. Jim went the extra mile and made sure we were completely satisfied. We would highly recommend Jim Canole to photograph your event. You will get a great experience and he will capture beautiful memories of your wedding!

My wedding was planned in a matter of weeks, so I had to find a photographer ASAP. But not just any photographer, I wanted the best! I contacted several photographers after reviewing their style and was just let down. We came across Jim's profile on the Knot and Weddingwire. His reviews were amazing and for all the right reasons. We loved his photo albums. He contacted me right away and was always available to talk to me even for several hours at the oddest hours since my work schedule is chaotic.

Our wedding was in the Boston area, but we lived out of state and despite the distance, Jim was very accommodating. We met with him and he showed us albums, photos, etc and listened to our suggestions and thoughts. He wrote everything down to make sure he didnt forget anything and suggested some great ideas. We were so comfortable with him! On the wedding day, we had a city photo shoot and despite the limited time due to traffic and the groom being late (shaking head now), He was so accommodating and came up with amazing ideas and snap shots. His energy and excitement were great! He made it fun and playful and took the most beautiful shots you can imagine. All the stress I had were completely gone thanks to him!

The wedding itself was an even greater experience. He now had to accommodate us and our guests. He blended in well and managed to get photos that not only surprised us but created beautiful memories. Since we ran late to begin with, he insisted on staying several hours longer just to capture more memories. Again, his energy and excitement was great! He made everything fall into place and went above and beyond.

Bottom line, Jim is a great photographer and exhibits great professional attitude but also a fun and loving that makes your special day even more special and leaves you with well taken memories of such a happy day.

I recommend him 200%, do not hesitate to contact him! When you see his work, you wont! :) Happy wedding!

I didn't think I would ever be able to have the kind of wedding photos that I would truly love to look at for years to come. Jim fulfilled just that dream.

We met for an initial no-commitment meeting, and he was very good about explaining the entire process to me, and showing me lots of his previous work. Not being an expert, I didn't really know how to articulate what I wanted, but Jim asked all the right questions, and looking at examples really helped. I didn't know that I like sepia pictures as well as black and white, and they are now some of my favorites from the whole wedding.

Jim is a very kind and calming person, and I knew that the wedding photos would be in safe hands with him. I'm not used to having my photo taken, and there were a few camera shy people among the guests, but he made us all feel very comfortable.

Jim checked in with me well before the wedding to make sure everything was going to plan, and he asked for some info about specific shots that I wanted to include (college friends group, high school friends group etc). On the night, this meant that he was able to be the task master, and I didn't have to worry at all about remembering anything. He gently pulled people aside at convenient moments to make sure that he got all the shots I asked for.

The end results are beautiful - a mixture of formal photos and brilliant candids. Judging by the pictures, he seemed to be everywhere at once, although during the evening I feel as though I hardly saw him. Jim was truly a stealth photographer, which is quite a feat considering the fact that there were only 34 people at the wedding! Jim captured some really touching moments, and some hilarious ones, and I feel that the evening is truly represented fully in the photographic record. He also took lots of pictures of the details of the venue, the cake, the decorations etc which are really nice to have - I wouldn't remember anything if I didn't have these!

I wholeheartedly recommend Jim to anyone planning a wedding, big or small. He just has a way of capturing the moment really naturally. My wedding was very small, in a small room, at night in the middle of winter in Boston (ie no opportunities to go outside, no natural light, not too much variety of setting) and still Jim managed to produce a really dynamic and interesting set of photographs. Amazing! Apart from the groom and my dress, Jim was the best wedding decision I made.

Jim Canole was an amazing photographer! He listened to what type of pictures we wanted, and made us feel comfortable the entire day. The pictures he caught were breath taking, and truly captured the feel of the day. These pictures are something we will always cherish! Jim did an excellent job of getting pictures, while not be intrusive at all. I highly recommend Jim to anyone and everyone!

Jim was really great. The photos he took from our wedding really captured the emotion of the day. He has a great eye for seeing all of the special moments. He also shot our engagement photos and we received the CD within one week. Jim was so flexible and easy to work with. We would highly recommend him.

Jim was an absolute pleasure to work with...he really captured the emotion of the day in his pictures! He was so professional and easy to work with. He always got back to me in a timely manner, no matter how many question I asked! I loved the slide shows we received after the wedding, it brought tears of joy to my families eyes reliving the day all over again. I would recommend Jim in a heart beat to any bride planning their day!

Jim was absolutely amazing! We had discussions about what was important to be captured and Jim went above and beyond. He took pictures when we didn't even realize he was anywhere near us. The pictures came out fabulous and we're struggling now to narrow down which ones we want in the album, they're all so good! He was amazing to work with from the moment we selected him to the end of our wedding day. I would definitely recommend Jim!

My husband and I were so happy that we went with Jim Canole for our wedding photographer. As we were not having a videographer, the photos alone would tell the story of the day. In short, Jim DELIVERED!! The photos were just unbelievable. He captured all of the important moments with an artistic eye. He truly captured the spirit of the day. Even the formals were gorgeous! They were lively and not "stiff". Jim is top notch. He is truly a professional who knows what he is doing. Trust me brides, you don't want to be worrying about whether or not your photographer is getting all the shots or not. With Jim you can rest assured that he is working hard to capture the day. So may of my guests commented on how hard working he was, running around capturing different perspectives. We are THRILLED with the photos. Thank you Jim for your efforts. You excel at what you do!

Jim is absolutely amazing. He was able to capture the spirit of our beautiful wedding day filled with love, laughter, and amazing family and friends. We are so grateful for meeting Jim.

There is so much I could say about Jim's photography. They art work in his photos, the emotions he captures, and the beauty he sees through the lens of a camera. But I am sure you will find all of that true and more just by looking at his work. What you can't see directly in his photos is the man behind the camera. He is kind, sweet, passionate, intelligent, and an amazing presence to have on what can be a very hectic day. I truly appreciate having Jim there for me on my wedding day. He was so much fun to go exploring with on the grounds, finding amazing places to take photos, encapsulating the tenderness and magic of the day. The second happiest day of 2011, was when Jim emailed me to say the pictures were up and ready to be seen. I still sit and flip through my wedding album, showing friends and family and remembering all that took place on August 6th, 2011.

Jim was a great photographer. We loved his work. He spent a lot of time before the wedding explaining everything to us and took the time to create a custom package that fit our needs. He captured priceless moments at our wedding and we are so thankful that we hired him for our special day. I would highly recommend him to anyone.

Jim is a wonderful photographer, very professional. I would highly recommend hiring him for your wedding. We wanted mostly candid shots that told a story. We were so happy with our wedding pictures.

Jim was a wonderful photographer and his photojournalistic style captured all those special moments at the wedding. The ceremony and cocktails were outdoors on Boston harbor and the reception was indoors. Jim was able to create gorgeous photos in any light and spent time prior to the wedding figuring out how to get the best results. He was courteous and pleasant to work with, and "faded into the background' the entire evening, just as he said he would. We are so pleased with the photos and can't think of any way they could have been better!

My best decision was to go with Jim for my photos. My family and friends see my album and feel like they are reliving the night. He was great and so
easy-going and professional. The pictures he took are by far the most beautiful and emotional pictures I have ever seen. He was the best vendor I had and I was soooo picky.

Don't pass up the opportunity to have Jim be your wedding photographer. We interviewed many photographers and once we met Jim we knew he is going to be the best. He is professional and accommodating. His work is by far the best we saw. He has a real talent to bring the photographs alive. He captures people's expressions and creates very memorable photographs. He has an easy going attitude. That really helps especially when everything else can be stressful. In our wedding all of our guests commented on how professional and dedicated he was. I can't say enough about how happy we have been at each step of the way since we started working with Jim.

Jim's photography was fantastic. We went with him because he was able to exactly match our desire for wedding photos that had just a bit of art to them beyond your typical wedding photos. Every single photo came out beautiful and would be well suited to blowing up and hanging on the wall as an art print. He is definitely a premium photographer (in fact, after seeing how good his photos looked, we skipped on the videographer), and while his prices were very competitive for such, they are still a similar cost to other premium wedding photographers.

We decided to book Jim very quickly after meeting him and it ended up being one of the best decisions we made for our wedding on the afternoon of June 14. Not only was he very professional and accommadating, he was also easy going and accessible. My husband and I wanted the photo-journalism style, and that was one of the reasons we selected Jim, but my family ( evidently....I had no idea) loves the group shots... Thankfully, Jim was able to do everything, and we couldnt be happier.... and he was very reasonably priced too.... which is always nice! We feel like we got great 'bang for the buck' for our photos! You wont be disappointed if you book him!!!

Jim was WONDERFUL and he was very professional. He was great with our guests and the children in the wedding party and the wedding. He wasn't pushy when taking pictures of anyone and lwt us (the bride and groom) set the tone for how we wanted the flow of the day go. And he wasn't in our faces the whole day which is what we really loved. I highly reccomend him!

He was the best of all of our vendors. He really "made" the wedding

Jim is amazing...start to finish. He is a true artist. I have reccommended him to all of my friends and family. Worth every penny!!
