Hiring Joe Tighe as our photographer was among the best decisions we made. When we had our introductory meeting with Joe, he cemented our interest in working together when he talked about his documentary/journalistic-type style: emphasis on natural moments rather than the staged ones. And did he deliver!

Our photos depict the narrative of our day. Obviously we love the pictures of us and those with our wedding party. But my husband and I especially love the ones from the cocktail hour, onward. Looking through them feels like getting to experience our wedding from our guests’ perspective in addition to our own.

And we’re not the only ones so enamored: My MIL couldn’t stop talking about how creative all of the shots are. Everyone in our wedding party who spent time with Joe complimented our choice of photog. One of the groomsmen, who is engaged, even said he wanted to fire his wedding photog and hire Joe instead - and I really think he would have if his fiancé would’ve been willing to lose the deposit they paid. He has mentioned it to us a few times since!

If you’re still reading and questioning this decision, let us assure you that you won’t regret it - hire Couple of Dudes!

I knew I wanted to work with Joe immediately after speaking with him. He has such a calm and relaxed presence and clearly knows his stuff. I was relieved to find someone I trusted immediately and knew would be a good fit. He is a great communicator and made the whole process a breeze. His photos capture the emotion of the day so well and are uniquely composed. I love all of our photos so much - they are unique and authentic and capture the spirit and love of the day so well. We have some amazing candid shots of my family that I'll cherish forever. I can't recommend him enough and am so glad we were able to work together.

Joe was totally amazing. He's such an easy person to be around. Throughout the booking process, he had great patience and respect for us, quick responses, and great ideas. We could tell right away that he is a total pro and confident in his skills.

During our wedding, he was awesome. Very calm and relaxed in a way that helped us feel so at ease and present in our day, knowing we had made the right choice of photographer to document our wedding in a beautiful and authentic way. He kept offering to help us with all the things throughout the day and seemed to know just when to add direction and help us feel our best in front of the camera.

When it came time to review the images, we were absolutely blown away! They were so beautiful, raw, and full of emotion. I can't believe these are the images he created from our wedding! I was there and it never looked this beautiful. To know that we have such incredible memories to turn back to for the rest of our lives is just so wonderful!

I can't wait to work with Joe again once we start having kids and growing our family. I just know that his vision of the small moments will be the perfect way to remember those early years!!!

Thank you so much for pouring your heart into our wedding Joe!!!

When I came across Couple of Dudes Photography, they checked all of my boxes for photography style, positive reviews, photobooth, and personality. Photography was a high priority for me, so I needed to find the best and that's what I received with Couple of Dudes. I look at my pictures every single day, I am so in love with them! Joe was my main photographer and Paul was our second photographer. I explained to Joe to importance of taking pre-wedding photos at my house, since it was also the place my mom took wedding photos. He did an amazing job of capturing my favorite spots in the house and recreating some of my mom's wedding photos. Paul took some great candids of the groom and groomsmen while at the groom's parents' house. We chose our venue because of the beautiful grounds, but when it started raining, I was worried I'd miss out on having pictures outside. That did not stop Joe and Paul from taking gorgeous pictures of us in between the rain. Joe even walked us back to where our ceremony was supposed to be under the arch my husband made and snapped some of my favorite pictures there. During dinner and dancing, they blended in so well, I forgot they were there! Our bridal party loved how comfortable they made even the formal pictures feel.
The add-ons I chose were the polaroids and the Grin Shack. The polaroids were great because I receieved them at the end of the night! Our guests had a blast with the Grin Shack, too. We provided some props, but Joe also brought a big trunk of things.
I received the highlight images about a week after the wedding! I was expecting them to take longer. I will be suggesting Couple of Dudes to anyone looking for professional photographers.

We used Couple of Dudes for our engagement and wedding photos, and both were wonderful! We really enjoyed working with Julian, who's so down to earth and makes you laugh throughout stressful moments. In addition, Kevin was great and made us feel relaxed as well. They understood what vibe we were going for with our photos and help brought that to life. Highly recommend them for all future wedding couples!

Couple of Dudes was an amazing company to work with for our wedding photography. Not only was it a joy from the start to book them (I had at least a half hour phone conversation with the manager, laughing and joking and having fun the whole time), but the whole process of making an event schedule and getting ready for the wedding was a breeze.

Julian did an incredible job with our photos. We were able to hire him to come to the rehearsal dinner as well as the wedding, and I'm so happy we have those memories captured to look back.

Julian was fun and professional to the nth degree; despite a very unexpectedly eventful hotel stay (due to circumstances outside his control) the night before the wedding he still showed up and did a beautiful job. He made sure to stay until the end even though it was past time for him to leave so that he could photograph my Dad playing with the band. He was able to put everyone in a really happy, agreeable mood for portraits, and help us laugh and relax on what can be a stressful day. Our gratefulness shows in the photos. That kind of laid-back, relaxed, yet precise approach to photography is why I chose Couple of Dudes in the beginning, and Julian absolutely delivered on their promise.

Thank you to everyone with Couple of Dudes for delivering an incredible product and being wonderful to work with!

We absolutely loved working with Joe at Couple of Dudes. He immediately made us feel comfortable in our early phone conversations and at our engagement shoot. We felt like we had known him for years--mostly because he cared so much about capturing what was most important to us. On the wedding day, they captured so many beautiful moments. We didn't have a videographer and honestly, with the pictures they took, we didn't need one. They were out on the dance floor with us, at the after party, and really shared in our special day. It truly felt like they were old friends and we're just so happy for us. I cannot recommended them enough--especially if you want your day captured vs. portrait pics...which we did too for the parents :) ABSOLUTELY USE THIS AMAZING COMPANY!

We had high expectations for Joe and Couple of Dudes and he did not disappoint! Everything was cool and professional from start to finish. We couldn't be happier with the photos and the experience and would recommend Couple of Dudes in a heartbeat!

Emily felt like one of the family on the day of the wedding. She seamlessly integrated herself into the day and took the most amazing shots. We originally went with Couple of Dudes based on a recommendation of their work - and wow we were not disappointed! They worked with our budget and gave us everything we wanted. I am so impressed how many pictures Emily was able to capture by herself the day of the wedding. She covered everything. We are so glad we chose Couple of Dudes for our big day!

I knew when we first started planning our wedding that I wanted to work with Couple of Dudes based on their photography style and a previous wedding that they had shot at Crested Hen Farms. We had initially hired Julian as our photographer, but when he could no longer shoot our wedding due to an accident, Joe stepped right in and saved the day! He was so down to earth and great about making me and my husband feel comfortable in front of the camera. We opted for two photographers and were so happy we did! Both Joe and Kevin captured some beautiful photos, despite the nor'easter that we had! Could not have imagined our day without them. We loved working with Couple of Dudes and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for amazing photographers who are also incredible people!
