I'm so glad we picked Joshua to help capture our wedding day! Both our engagement photos and wedding photos were beautiful! He is patient and fun to work with, his photos are creative, and he's really able to capture the moment, whether a photo is posed or not. Anyone who missed my wedding said they literally felt like they were there after seeing our photos. Albums are gorgeous. Couldn't have asked for anything better. You will be so pleased if you hire Josh for your wedding or any other big occasion , I recommend him to all my friends and family.

I cannot say enough good things about Josh Bobrove. Yes, he's easy to work with and of course his photography skills are world-class. But most important to me is how carefully he listens to what YOU want from your wedding photos! I wasn't interested in a bunch of photographs of my guests smiling for the camera... I wanted photographs of me and my wife, and all our friends, genuinely enjoying ourselves and somehow he was able to capture incredible moments throughout our wedding day without anyone knowing he was there. Of course, when we needed ideas (like for our engagement session), he had plenty of tricks up his sleeve to help us do something fun and interesting -- and in fact one of our very favorite photos together from any setting was the result of a suggestion he had while we were at the beach.
From now on, we will be hiring Josh for ALL of our special live events and celebrations!

If it was possible to give more than 5 stars in regards to Joshua's quality of service and professionalism, he would have them all! Joshua has an extremely creative eye, my husband and I were so pleased to use him for our engagement photos as well as our wedding. You can tell how effortlessly and natural his ability to capture any moment is. I've worked with other photographers for my sport team, action shots, and previous family portraits, but Joshua has been the most professional and patient one by far. My brother loved our photos so much that he didn't even hesitate contacting another photographer! We continue to get compliments on our photos all the time from friends. We will definitely continue using him for our growing family needs :) thank you, Joshua!

Joshua is an exceptional photographer. We first used Joshua when we got married in April of 2003. Since then he has photographed all of our family events, birthdays and family portraits. We have even taken him with us internationally to shoot a few Indian Weddings. Working Joshua is such a treat. He is responsive, and has a wonderful way to make you feel comfortable. He also spends a lot of time getting to know you, your family and your needs.

He has way of capturing the essence of a person on film. When we hired Joshua, we always get beautiful pictures.

Finally, Joshua loves his work and it shows!!! If you're reading this review wondering if you should book him I suggest you do it! You won't regret it :)

Joshua is very professional and skilled photographer. We use his services for all our family events. We got introduced to him through friends for our wedding reception photography. We couldn't be happier with the quality of work he did. He photographs capture precious and genuine moments. Since then we have had him shoot out kids first photo shoot, his first birthday. Most of or family and friends use Joshua for his photography. He is definitely the best choice!

Joshua was great with me. I must say, I absolutely hate taking pictures. I'm part of that .0001 percent that hates it. I told Joshua from day one that I was going to be difficult and probably make his job not very fun for the days that he had with me. He wanted to meet prior to the wedding. Not once but twice. Test shooting for engagement shots and to collaborate on ideas that might be ok/comfortable for me. He made me feel instantly at ease with going the goofy route rather the sensual way of taking these pictures. When the wedding day came, everything was smooth sailing. I honestly forgot he was even there capturing the moments needed, and pictures of the things that I would personally want. The day went with an easy flow. He doesn't direct unless you ask him to. He lets you be you and somehow captures the best moments of that. His assistant was very nice too. Had a great time working with him and would use him again and again. :)

From the moment my wife Denise and I met Joshua to talk about our wedding photography, we knew he was the one we wanted to capture our special day. He was professional and very friendly from the start and worked with us throughout the whole process in getting ready. There were times when we were overwhelmed with our planning of events for the wedding day, but Joshua took the initiative and stepped in to help us with our planning! He made the process so much easier and enjoyable and we are forever thankful for his help and support.

Prior to our wedding, Joshua photographed our engagement session. The pictures came out beautiful and my wife and I could not be any happier with how they turned out. Joshua is so dedicated to his work and perfection that he actually took the time prior to our engagement shoot to scout the area we chose to have our engagement session captured. Because he took the time to do this, our engagement session was very smooth and we all had a lot of fun without having to worry where to shoot because Joshua had already found the best spots to take pictures!

On our wedding day, Joshua was on time and ready to go from the start. Our wedding was a mix of Chinese traditions and Western style, and Joshua had no problem accommodating us. Everything went as planned and the photos taken were stunning. When it came to family photos, Joshua made sure we got every picture we wanted with our family members. We never felt rushed during our wedding photography and it was a blessing that Joshua could capture all our special moments that day. Our wedding actually ran a bit longer than anticipated, and Joshua stayed till the very end!

Denise and I are very grateful to have met Joshua and have him capture our wedding memories. Not only did we have a great wedding photographer for our wedding, we ended up becoming great friends with him as well! Thank you Joshua!

I don't know how to describe Joshua professionalism and creativity. He is one of the best photographers I ever met. He really get all the moment and great picture from engagement sitting to wedding day. Whatever we mention and kind of photo we want to take, Joshua can deliver. His professionalism and work ethic is awesome. You won't regard of using his service. He really did a very great job on our wedding day especially we have a very tight schedule.

My wife and I are highly recommend Joshua to be your event photographer especially once in a life time event.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
