Micro-Wedding/Elopement

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.

One of a kind!

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.

If you want a special occasion captured right, book this photographer!

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.
