John is a great guy and to say he is a talented photographer would be an understatement. The pictures he took for our elopement were the best I have seen. The value in his service and his artistic ability is second to none. Call john, you cant go wrong!

John is a pleasure to work with! We work with him for all our events and there is no one we trust more to capture our important memories!

The quality of his pictures is fantastic! We also took the GIF Booth for the reception and got so many great compliments! Our guests had so much fun with the booth and we will for sure be using it again!

Thanks John and your amazing team!

Amazing Photographer

Amazing Photographer!

We used John for our wedding and he was an absolutely blast to work with. We interviewed a couple photographers before deciding to go with John and all I can say was we were thoroughly impressed. John always went the extra mile to make us feel comfortable before the big day. He was always available for calls and always shared his suggestions and experiences to help us make our day more memorable for us and our guests. Working with John was like working with an old friend, comfortable and trusting.

All I can say is I would highly recommend John for any event; You won't be disappointed.

Overall my experience with John Koo Photography was excellent which is why I am giving 5 out of 5 stars! I had a very intimate wedding party of 7 people (bride, groom, bride's grandparent's, groom's one grandma and a best man & maid of honor) and the only thing I would of done differently was ensure I had more pictures of both grandmothers. To John's credit, one grandmother was 92 and just couldn't get around very well (she had to stay in the car due to walking limitations) and the other one is a Southern bell (I'm from Texas and our wedding was in Montreal) who was polite and kept her company why the rest of us took pictures, but for those reasons I didn't have as many pictures with them as I would of liked.

However, the pictures I did get with them were great, I just wish there would have been more since they are such awesome ladies =)

John is an absolute pleasure to deal with, John is very honest and professional. He delivered good value for the products and services that he provided. One thing I admire is his creative side, he's got a good eye for things and he's well skilled with his lens. He made an ordinary background look extraordinary. I highly recommended John. After the wedding, everybody was still talking about the KOOL photobooth, it was hilarious.

Thank you very much John for making our day easier and fun. You created wonderful memories us!

We're soooo happy that we decided to go with John Koo Photography for our wedding! What a great team!!! We couldn't be happier with our wedding photographers!

You got all our awesome people, family and friends, details and likeness, and absolutely everything that we love and is important to us, all in one day. You guys captured it all so well! It's pretty special to us.

We are really impressed with you guys, your whole team, and all your hard work and devotion! You guys are great people, so nice and easy to talk to (like old friends!), and also hard working, detail-oriented, and very devoted! It was such a nice experience from the engagement photos to the actual wedding day.

John and Esther, you totally blew us away with all of the lovely photos you took of our day! And Ana, you were a fantastic photo booth co-ordinator. Our family and friends really loved taking all those fun and silly pics!

Thank you so much, guys! You can bet that we'll be recommending you to everyone we know! :-) Hope to work with you again some day, maybe family pics!!!

<3,
Mina and Don MacTavish
