John, you worked SO HARD for us this week. I cannot thank you enough. It is such a pleasure to work with you—you are such a gentleman. Your instincts with our subjects are so spot on, and I can’t tell you enough how grateful I am for your flexibility, reliability, fun nature, and speediness in turning the pictures around.
Thanks again & I look forward to all the great things we can do together this year.

I can’t recommend the services of John David Coppola enough. I had the pleasure of hiring him to handle the visual media needs of an extremely important event for the national Mental Health community.
Not only did John capture the photos of the many celebrities, attendees, and speakers present at the Washington D.C. "Climb the Hill For Recovery" breakfast – he captured the spirit of the advocacy event in his photography.
What I most appreciated about his services was the attention to detail and my needs – giving me exactly the end product I needed for the International Bipolar Foundation.
I would absolutely recommend him to anyone considering hiring him for any important occasion or project.

Very satisfied. John provided corporate headshots for our DC office, traveling on site and providing final, retouched images quickly.

We were looking for a top-notch photographer to cover the 10th anniversary of our plastic surgery practice (the Bitar Cosmetic Surgery Institute). I found John through thumbtack and I knew from the first email exchange that he was a true professional.
He visited the site before the event, showed up on time the day of the event, worked non stop throughout and even came back to our office to deliver the photos in person. The quality of his work is exceptional as well.
I would highly recommend John for any of your photography needs.

To say that John did an amazing job on my digital photographs would be a tremendous understatement. He not only has a creative eye for what truly makes for great imagery, but he also has a great laid back vibe that truly makes for great, easygoing photo shoots.

John is my go-to photographer! Whether it is a business headshot or special events in and around Washington D.C.
John is the person who does it with professionalism and I trust him with fast-paced Congressional events when members of Congress are our guest speakers and they need to be photographed swiftly so they can get back to the Hill... ease!
I would not hesitate for a minute to have John Coppola as my resident photographer!

I hired Mr. John Coppola to do the photo shoot for a Facebook Business Page I built for a local Chiropractor's office. He was a consummate professional, extremely knowledgeable, and very friendly with the office staff who were our subjects for the day.
His good nature put my clients at ease in front his camera, and the results were very natural, very professional photos for the website. His estimate was right on the money, and the results were excellent. In short, I would recommend John to anyone who needs professional photographs done, for any occasion.

John has an uncanny ability to relate to (and get along with) everyone I've seen him interact with, which is a key attribute for a professional photographer.
He knows photographic equipment inside and out (not just cameras) and possesses a tremendous talent for taking flattering candid photographs. Also, I have found him to be consistently punctual.

I would recommend John to anyone who is looking for professional headshots or other business related photography! He was efficient, on time, and the follow up was better than I have had in the past... he worked with me to find my best shot, had lots of great ideas and thoughts on what could work.
He also had up to date cameras and equipment - and extensive knowledge of it all. John's easy to work with and made me feel right at home.

John David Coppola does an incredible job. I have used many photographers and he has easily been the best one I have worked with.
He was punctual, paid attention to detail, and took amazing photos. He even stayed after our agreed time frame to take additional photos of my event.
Whenever I am in the DC area and need photos he is my go-to photographer. I would highly recommend John as you will not be disappointed. Working with John was fantastic.

I had a headshot photo session with John. He found a really unique location to capture the photos and I was blown away when I saw how well they came out. I use the photos for my Acting profile and my online business. I say it couldn't have gone any better.
John's really personable and made me feel completely relaxed. He's now my go-to photographer for future work.

I needed some headshots as I'm transitioning from a long military career to the business world, and selected John for a number of reasons; reviews, communications, and of course price/value.
John communicates early and often; there's nothing left hanging. We scheduled the shoot at my office; he arrived on-time, quickly set up and we got to it. The proofs were posted the very next morning. Lots to choose from, and superb quality...
HIGHLY recommended!

John was the photographer for my nonprofit's gala and he was fantastic. We had a few special requests, such as requiring that he capture every table of guests, which is a pretty arduous task. He happily complied and the shots came out beautifully. I would definitely recommend him and plan to use him in the future!
