About

Hello there. We get our kicks out of providing rockin’ experiences through a unique blend of raw photojournalism and natural portraiture. This is what we wish for with wedding photography from Innovatory: to capture photos that can stand the test of time, provide comfort, and speak to the relationships we have with one another.

Based out of Cincinnati, Ohio, Innovatory was born 13 years ago. We trained and released 3 teams of photographers and shot hundreds of weddings along the way. Nowadays Joseph shoots documentary films all over the world and Brooklyn loves capturing the off-to-the-side moments that Joseph doesn’t see, making them a dynamic team.

If the idea of relaxing and having loads of fun on your wedding day sounds appealing, then we might be a good fit :)

10% of profits are donated to worthy causes that serve at-risk kids and women including Compassion International, AIM, Mercy Ministries and Living Water Christian Mission in Haiti.

Captured Perfectly

Joe and Brooklyn made our wedding day a day we will remember forever! They never got in our way and captured the best candid photos and helped us pose for the best portraits I could imagine. Having a slideshow of day-of photos for guests to see blew us out of the water. We are extremely impressed with the quality and quantity of the photos of this dynamic duo! We would highly recommend hiring them for your big day!

Hire This Man

Although I'd love to keep Joe a secret from everyone else, he deserves all the praise. We hired him for our engagement pictures and liked them so much that we flew him out to Denver for our wedding. Joe really knew how to capture the style and lighting we wanted and delivered more than we could have thought. Photos aside, Joe and his wife are two of the most genuine, flexible, and fun people. We had a great time just chatting with them. If you're looking for any type of photographer, Joe is your guy.

We wanted photographers that were more photojournalistic in style, but could also take posed pictures. Also... our budget was limited. Kyle and Jamie fit all of our needs. They were willing to have our prep meetings over the phone since we don't live in Cincinnati. They took pictures throughout the preparation process, the ceremony, and the first half of the reception. They were easy to get along with, and never got in the way. They were like ninjas during the reception! They even had some of our pictures playing on a slideshow during the reception. The pictures came out beautifully, and we got digital copies as well as a book as part of our photography package.

Owner / Photographer

Hi, my name is Joseph Porter. I am a photographer and film director that specializes in real life stories. My personal mission statement is to help and provoke people to tell their stories.

I am based in the exciting and highly underrated city of Cincinnati, OH, but travel all over for interesting projects. Nowdays I produce and direct a lot of stories with Whitewater Crossing Christian Church. I even produced and directed a feature length film called Hope Actually! I have also worked with clients such as P&G, Waterson+Garner Consultants, Behr Paints, American Sign Museum, Cincinnati Christian University, Covergirl, Ratchet + Wrench Magazine and dozens of churches and non-profits around the country. You can see more videos and behind the scenes craziness on YouTube.

I have had the joy of volunteering and contributing to projects such as Creative Mornings,TEDx, Creative Missions, Wish Upon a Wedding, and Crossroads Church. 20% of profits are donated to worthy causes that serve at risk kids and women including Compassion International, AIM, Mercy Ministries and Living Water Christian Mission in Haiti.

2nd Photographer

Brooklyn sees the world not as it is, but as it could be. She loves having space to herself but is also energized by others. Her primary art expression is drawing, both digital and with paint. Along with being Joseph's daughter, she brings the party!
