    The best wedding photographer!

    oshua made us feel comfortable and relaxed, yet he was totally efficient and professional. We had only chatted via telephone/email before our wedding day, and he had never even been to the venue, but he quickly understood our vision, our vibe and energy and captured it so perfectly. And most importantly, we LOVE how our photos turned out. We have so many to choose from! Highly highly recommend!

    Absolutely incredible!

    Josh made all of our dreams come true with his album! He captured our first look, which is a memory that is forever ingrained as the happiest memory of my life. His shots were beautiful, and he got some amazing bubble photos! An absolutely outstanding photographer that was punctual, got good work done quickly, and was very friendly. All in all an amazing photographer!

    Best Photographer

    Joshua did an amazing job for my wedding! I was coming from out of state and he kept great communication and made things very clear. Would recommend to anyone getting married in the future!

    Look No Further

    If you're trying to decide on a wedding photographer, don 't waste your time and just hire Josh. The guy is a true pro. He was fun and easy to talk to leading up to the wedding and the entire time taking the pictures. He was able to adapt to last minute changes of plans on the wedding day. He masterfully worked through a long, complex list of photos on our wedding day.
    He knows how to take charge to get all the pictures done, but does so in a friendly, fun manner. Pictures turned out great and the he turnaround time for our pictures was really fast!

    Professionals, knowledgeable and quality work. 10/10 would recommend.

    He showed up and knew exactly who to talk to and exactly what photos to take. An experienced and well versed guy. I have recommended him to my entire family.

    Josh is a true Pro!

    My wife and I feel so fortunate to have had Josh shoot our wedding. We were like so many who didn't know if we should get one or multiple photographers. He was up front with us about the advantages and disadvantages, and ultimately we only hired Josh. He was somehow all over the place, able to take many different angles, all while not being intrusive or noticeable (literally didn't know he was there). He was very friendly and easy to work with. He put us at ease during the whole process, and we couldn't be happier with the results! Thank you, Josh! Highly recommend :)

    Wonderful photographer! We were thrilled to have him capture our wedding day!

    Josh is a very talented, professional, creative and fun photographer! I reached out to his business when I was first looking for a photographer for our wedding. He responded back to me super fast and he was very informative on what his style was and what the wedding packages included. He was very patient, didn't rush me into any decisions, and followed up with me on questions I had for him etc. I love how he related on a personal level and is very down to earth. Super easy going and excited about his work! I couldn't have been happier with how our wedding pictures turned out and how he interacted with us and our guest on the wedding day!

    We highly recommend Josh!

    I cannot say enough good things about Josh and his team! They were so flexible with all of the different places we wanted to take photos on our wedding day, and did a great job communicating with us and the rest of our vendors. Josh and his team were so relaxed and helpful throughout the entire wedding day (his wife even helped pin in my veil), and we all really enjoyed spending time with them. Our photos captured the essence of our wedding so beautifully, and we and our families will cherish them for a long time to come.

    Just Wonderful!

    Joshua is just great to work with. Wonderful man who is easy going and up to do anything. We had to deal with covid and then fires days before our wedding and he was still game to do anything and be anywhere. The day was beautiful and he captured it all. Your doing something of your not booking him!

    The total package photographer

    My husband and I are so glad we hired Josh as our photographer. He is the total package - punctual, kind, flexible, responsive, and fun to spend time with - which is a pretty big deal on one of the most joyous days of your life! The photos that we got absolutely blew me away. I don't consider myself to be particular photogenic, but somehow Josh captured this magical glow to the entire day. He has great instincts and was so patient with my grumpy toddler. Everyone in my family loved him (including the kids and the dog!). Best decision of the day, hands down.

    10/10 Would Recommend

    Stop your looking and hire Joshua Rainey Photography for your wedding!
    Josh seamlessly fits in with your day and captures every emotion and look - though you barely know he is there. He has such a gift for making everyone comfortable and finding genuine interactions to photograph. He’s super easy to coordinate with, very responsive, so great to work with, and gives you an insanely HUGE library of photos with no additional costs. (Also every photo is so beautiful it is unreal)
    Hire Josh! You will have zero regrets and your pictures will be all the more perfect because of it!

    Amazing Photographer! (Review from Mother of Bride)

    From our first contact, you were extremely organized and professional. Everything was spelled out and the contract was very straight-forward and inclusive. Your communication with us was very reassuring that you had everything under control. I loved how you handled the family pictures, asking us a month or so before the wedding for a list of pictures that we wanted to make sure were taken, with a template for how we should organize our list. As you know, our list was quite long, and you and Keith absolutely nailed getting all the requisite pictures done expeditiously.
    The entire day was extremely relaxed, and you and your assistants made us all feel comfortable because all of you were so calm. Everything ran like clockwork and it appeared that all of you had a great rapport with the other vendors, as well, which made everything run seamlessly.

    And I don’t even know where to begin about the quality and quantity of pictures. When you sent me a few pictures the day after the wedding, I was thrilled to get a sneak peek and loved every one of them. I assumed that those were the “best ones,” but was very anxious to see the whole gallery. Boy, was I blown away! Every picture was amazing and there were so many different poses and backgrounds and lighting and tones and candids . . . I have so many favorites!!! I can’t say enough about how wonderful it was to work with you and how pleased we are with the fantastic gallery of pictures that will forever remind us of a beautiful day.

    Couldn⠹t imagine anyone else capturing our special day!

    Josh is amazing and so talented!!!
    When I first contacted Josh I had already contacted many photographers -- the difference with Josh, was that Michael and I both immediately felt a connection with him.
    I found Josh online and his page got my attention because it was everything I was looking for in our wedding photographer! The style and just everything he was about when it came to his clients getting their photos!
    Like I mentioned before, connection was huge for me when choosing our vendors for our wedding! Especially a photographer because they are capturing some pretty special and intimate moments. Josh was very easy to communicate with and he has been so fun to work with and get to know over this last year. We had fun hanging out with Josh for our engagement pictures and when it came time to our wedding day 5 months later we were both so comfortable with him!
    For our wedding day we had both Josh and his wife Rachael! What an awesome couple!!!
    Both Josh and Rachael are so talented and have an eye for detail. Michael and I being the way we are we appreciated every fix of our hair or making sure the little details were showing (for example Michael's watch)!
    We love what you guys are about and love that you share a passion for photography and can do it together!
    Josh and Rachael we can't thank you guys enough for capturing our day so perfectly!

    Joshua is a dream photographer to work with! He is experienced and knows what he is doing. Josh seems to have a great vision for his work and is very comfortable to be around. Both my partner and I felt completely at ease from the get-go with Josh and he was a total pleasure to spend time with! Joshua is professional, creative, talented, very reasonable, and so easy to work with. Such a great experience - 10/10 would recommend!

    Absolutely amazing photographer

    Keith captured our big day and we could not have asked for a more personable, talented person to do so! He made us all feel so comfortable, kept the day moving in accordance to the timeline, managed cranky kids in pictures and had the most unreal eye for where pictures would look best! He sent us sneak peeks the same night of our wedding and now we are DYING to see the rest! Keith does amazing work and we are so happy we found him to capture our big day!

    Easy, flexible, responsive

    Working with Joshua was incredibly easy and fun! We hired him for his style, professionalism, and compatibility with our vision and mutual rapport. He seamlessly captured the moments as they unfolded while being almost invisible himself- like a ninja with a camera! We would absolutely love to hire him again should the occasion arise.

    Couldn't have hoped for a better experience

    Both my husband and I don't really like having our photo taken but Joshua made it a totally comfortable experience and we ended up with hundreds (literally over 1300) photos that we will treasure forever. He captured both the formal Catholic wedding and the outdoor reception beautifully. Joshua blended in so well at our wedding that guests thought he must be a second cousin and the beautiful photos showed how quick and comfortable he made everyone. Thank you for capturing our day!

    Great photographer for racially diverse families!

    We were so lucky to get Joshua for our wedding! We got a ton of pictures, and they are so full of color! Joshua really listened to what we were looking for and then did that, with his own style and expertise.

    Like most racially diverse couples/families, we were concerned about whether everyone would show up looking like themselves and not too washed out or too blurry--Joshua nailed it! No issues at all, just great pictures. :)

    We asked for and got mix of candid shots (really important to us) and posed family and couple shots. Miraculously, everyone looks great in the group pics which I just can't believe! That never happens! And in the candid shots, Joshua was so unobtrusive that we didn't even know where he was and whether he'd captured those moments until we got the pictures back.

    Joshua was willing to work with us for a reasonable price given that our event was so small (my mom called it a "micro-wedding"). He even went a step further and suggested we split the time and do a couple's photoshoot at another location that evening. We got two beautiful locations for our pics, and Joshua highlighted the best in each location, scouting out which areas would be the best backdrops. Even better, we were more relaxed when we didn't feel guests were waiting on us, and we got lovely sunset pictures at the location where we got engaged!

    Joshua's wife, Rachel, is an amazing makeup artist and hair stylist (and apparently photographer, too--is there anything she can't do?) , and stepped in at the almost-last minute to do mine. She was so great to work with as well, and the confidence I got from having a professional do my make-up and hair showed through in our pictures. I would definitely work with them again!

    The Photographer You Want on Your Wedding Day!

    Josh is amazing to work with, takes incredible photos, and makes a great team with your vendors. I had the pleasure of meeting Josh while he photographed my best friend’s wedding in November 2017. After working with Josh, watching him interact with the wedding party and the guests, there was no question I had to have Josh photograph my wedding this year. Josh makes things so effortless, and you can trust him to get the best photos of your perfect day! Josh helps you think about the photos you want and ensures he captures your wishes. He explores your property and finds the most breathtaking views. I would hire Josh over and over again, he’s exactly the photographer you want on your wedding day!

    Fantastic wedding photography!

    My sons wedding photographs turned out fantastic. Josh stepped in at the last moment and did an unbelievable job. He captured every moment of the event from every possible angle. You would think there was more than one photographer! He was wonderful! Friendly and professional. I would highly recommend Josh!

    Amazing Wedding Photographer!

    Josh was a fantastic photographer. He made both me and my husband feel comfortable behind the camera and caught some lovely candid moments over the course of the night. Leading up to the wedding, he was easy to work with, payment went smoothly, and he gave us some great recommendations for other vendors in the area.

    Best wedding decision!!!

    He likes to be called Josh but I call him Joshua. First time I met him the first thing I said was, “hey! You’re really tall.” And you know what, it really works out because his perspective is really flattering! We really enjoyed working with Joshua. We were very nervous as this was our first photo shoot together. It honestly didn’t feel like work for us because he is just so down to earth, so amicable, and his smile makes you comfortable like you’ve known him for a long time. In between shots, he shares stories of his family and his hobbies. We enjoyed every stories that we invited him to dinner with us after our photo shoot. And that’s the kind of photographer you need. Someone who has the creative eye, to turn something ordinary to extraordinary and someone who is easy to get along with. During our wedding, our family and friends enjoyed having him. He makes magic with his camera.

    If he was a super hero his superpowers are Shapeshifting and Telepathy. He is adaptable to variety of situations that require adaptability. From dealing with different light conditions, to shooting different types of photography, and even just interacting with different people—becoming a shapeshifter, like Mystique from X-Men.

    He is also like like Professor X, and has the ability to sense the thoughts and feelings of his subjects, and transforming them through portrait. This superpower is indispensable.

    DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT LOOK FURTHER, if looking for a photographer. Hire him now if you want epic and awesome photos.

    WARNING and DISCLOSURE: Severe heart palpitations and extreme profanity may occur post viewing of your pictures. Side effects of self-confidence and resiliency may also occur. Please call you fiancé or husband if symptoms occur. (These really happened to me)

    With all seriousness, thank you Josh for being so easy to work with. We and our crew enjoyed working with you. It has been such a delight to have met you. *fist pump*

    Kristel out. ✌🏼

    Captured our wedding beautifully

    We met Joshua at a wedding showcase and liked him right away. We did an engagement shoot with him which was included in the package. He was professional, flexible, knowledgeable and made us feel at ease. Up until the wedding, he answered all of our questions and we felt confident he knew what we wanted. The day of he was much more than a photographer. He even helped us with other details like a dress malfunction and pocket squares! :) The second photographer was worth it, gave us different angles and more moments captured. We love the pictures and have a hard time choosing our "favorites". Our friends and family think they are amazing too. We would definitely recommend Joshua.

    First met Josh through social media, his photos were amazing! We were fortunate enough to meet with him while he was visiting Hawaii and get a fun and quick photo shoot in. Josh made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. He has a great mellow demeanor that is easy to get a long with. He was able to give me the help I needed to make small yet necessary adjustment to get the perfect shot! (I am usually extremely nervous in front of the camera). He is personable and professional!

    Josh took beautiful photos of all of the fine details of the wedding, which, as a bride and groom, you don’t really get to look at on the big day. So, we were so thankful to have those photos.

    Not only did Josh make sure to capture all of the precious moments throughout the day, he also put so much effort into the editing and quality of the photos. When we received our photos, we were shocked by how many we got back! However, we were also impressed by the fact that along with most photos, we were given multiple copies of pictures with different variations of editing.

    Josh’s artistry and craft is beyond impressive! We are so in love with our photos, and would recommend him to anyone and everyone who needs photos taken! We hope to use him again in the future!
