Joel was a pleasure to work with! He worked side by side with our photographer to create a beautiful video of the special moments throughout our wedding. We received our video much quicker than expected. I highly recommend him.

We had the pleasure of booking Joel for our wedding at the beginning of August and we've been nothing grateful for his service from beginning to end. Joel was punctual, professional, easy to work with and most importantly dedicated. First, booking Joel was very straightforward -- he gave us easy to understand photo options to choose from and consulted with us on what shots we wanted. On our wedding day, Joel's eye for photography was clear and precise. Joel never missed a moment and captured moments from multiple angles. His time management was impressive, always finding a moment to ensure he could get more perfect shots. His direction was clear and he was personable as well! Most importantly, we could tell Joel enjoyed the work he does and it definitely reflected in the over 600+ photos we received which were edited and cleaned up to be vibrant, high quality, breathtaking captured moments. Joel is even experimenting with video which also came back to us at a professional level. Overall every aspect of planning for a wedding can be stressful, but for us it wasn't the photography. Joel had us covered from beginning to end. He is an extremely talented photographer with clear communication and an enjoyment in what he does. Because of him, we relive every aspect of our wedding every time we look at our photos.

Joel was exceptional, capturing our wedding perfectly. Felt like family. Worth it!

Joel made sure that every detail for our wedding was completely planned out, even the ones my partner & I hadn't prepared for. The entire process was so professional from the very first interaction that we had. He has a questionnaire prepared for you to fill out at the start of the journey so he can get the best idea of what you & your partner are looking for from the pictures.

My husband & I aren't very much about the typical love pictures. We didn't get an engagement shoot, actually we've never had any kind of shoot together! Lol. It was great to work with Joel & not be judged over the fact that we wanted to centralize our pictures on "the moment" & friends/family reactions. It's mainly because we love people being caught with their "real" emotions showing. Joel made absolutely sure that none of that was missing in our repertoire of 500 pictures. In addition, he did stress that having those "personal" pictures together was very important, and made it a point of having us pose a bit. Although it would not have been something Naz & I would have seeked on our own, we're extremely grateful that he pushed on his view as a photographer. As now we have one of a kind pictures on our own without guests looking like a million bucks. THANK YOU JOEL!

I decided to invest money & buy the package with a tailored box that has 100 pictures printed. He added as a gift a really high quality framed picture of our choosing. I couldn't have been happier with the results. The quality of everything was above anything we could have imagined.

Joel was also extremely patient with our lack of answer/late answer & payment plan. He understood how much we had going on in general & was receptive to our times. Something that to me, is priceless, considering he's a professional that needs communication to make sure all goes well!

I will choose him for every & any event that I have in my life, moving forward . Thank you Joel for making our experience stellar.

Where do I begin? From the very beginning Joel has been on point with everything. From his creative eye & his ever lasting patience, he has an amazing eye I'm so in love with my photos! I cant thank him enough for his amazing job!! my wedding photos are fantastic! Joel is energetic full of ideas, he makes you feel comfortable. He even encouraged my craziness and took pictures of me laughing and having fun while I was getting ready for the wedding with my family. I love that I would be able to look back, Memories I will keep forever. it's been less than a month since my wedding & I've already received my wedding photos!! HE IS JUST AMAZING! The pictures were beautiful. They captured the love and joy my husband and I have for one another. We were so delighted we were able to relive our wedding so soon through the photos. I am so in love with the quality of his work and the beauty of each picture! Thank you Joel for capturing our wedding. I will be forever grateful! you are more than a 5 star wedding photographer.
Much love, Mr & Mrs Platt

Joel responded immediately to our last minute request to photograph our wedding in Jamaica. He made the entire process extremely painless and easy. I wish I had only chosen him sooner to take this worry off my plate. He not only had a questionnaire for us to answer, which helped him understand our wishes leading up to the wedding, but he implemented them flawlessly on the spot. The quality of the photos were mind-blowing!! I have never felt more beautiful in print. He also provided our digital pictures to us in record time: only 2 weeks after the wedding date! Totally unheard of in this industry. To top off an already amazing experience, we received the most lovely photo book and thumb drive which we will keep and cherish forever. I would recommend him in a heart beat!

Omg don't know where to start,Joel was very professional,friendly went above and beyond to capture every detail of my wedding. On my wedding day we had some issues with the limousine company and Joel as the photographer stepped in and helped to solve the problem,just to ensure the bride had a perfect day. And the pictures came out beautifulllllllll and were delivered on time even before I expectedI would recommend JOEL FINNIGEN to any one!!!!

Joel was highly professional and very patient. It was an absolute pleasure working with him on this joyous occasion. He responds promptly to emails and his after sales skills are excellent. I would recommend anyone looking to have their big day captured flawlessly to use him.

The pictures were awesome. Our friends and family loved them as well. My wife has already requested Joel's service for family portraits. Joel was professional in the manner in which he conducted his business. This included pre-wedding meetings to discuss logistics issues, his expectations and our needs. On the day of the wedding Joel ensured that our needs were met and our expectations exceeded. I adhered to his time schedule and this ensured that my wife and I got a lot of pictures in all the locations we wanted.

I unreservedly recommend Joel as one of the best photographers around.

My photos are awesome, I love them.
