About

I am glad that you want to learn more about me. I believe that the basis for everything in life is communication. From this we gain trust and security. Trust is what we all long to have in all interactions we take part in. This world is changing, it is becoming a world where everything is becoming commoditized. I still believe in being personable and providing a good experience.

My background in computers really helped set me apart from other photographers. Leveraging technology allows me to get the pictures I take in front of my clients before their wedding reception is over. My brides often take their laptop on their honeymoon because they know I will email them something special shortly after their wedding is over.

I always give 110% to ensure I get the absolute best images possible. These photos are your special moments, and I will give you nothing short of special. I guarantee my photos will not only help you cherish your moments forever but also leave you wanting more! My pricing is very reasonable, and I can always accommodate packages for your budget.

Thank you

Highly Recommended Jose!

Jose was awesome- very easy to work with, had everything covered pose wise since we didn’t know what we wanted, helped clean up our schedule. Incredibly quick turn around too we had a few photos the next day and it only took 1-2 weeks to get the rest.

Best wedding photographer

Jose and his team did an OUTSTANDING job!
We had multiple conversations prior to the wedding about scheduling, inspiration, locations, and every little detail you wouldn't even think of. He was incredibly organized, responsive, and made us feel completely at ease throughout the entire process!
On the wedding day, he captured every special moment beautifully while making everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera. His attention to detail, creativity, and professionalism truly exceeded our expectations. The photos turned out absolutely stunning, and we couldn't be happier with the memories he captured for us. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a talented and dedicated wedding photographer!

Fast, Professional, and Beyond Talented

Jose was a dream to work with for both our engagement session and wedding day. From the very beginning, he made us feel comfortable and at ease in front of the camera, and his friendly, professional approach made the entire experience enjoyable. On our wedding day, he worked seamlessly within our tight timeline and captured so many beautiful, genuine moments that we will cherish forever.

When we received our gallery, we were absolutely in awe. Every photo was stunning and perfectly captured the emotions and details of the day. As if that wasn’t enough, he delivered hundreds of photos just 10 days after our wedding, which completely exceeded our expectations. We are so grateful to have had Jose document such special milestones in our lives and cannot recommend him enough.

Amazing Videographer!

We were originally not planning on getting a videographer for our wedding. However, I came across Jose on Instagram and was immediately drawn to his work. It was so easy to communicate with him, and he responds very quickly. His organization made everything so easy the day of. We received our video back pretty quickly after our wedding. The video came out better than we could have imagined. It took us right back to that day, and he was able to capture all those important moments and emotions. We are proud to show our video to all our friends and family. Could not recommend him enough!

Absolutely Exceptional Experience!

We cannot say enough wonderful things about Jose. From the moment we first met, he made us feel completely at ease and truly understood our vision for the day. On the wedding day itself, he was organized, calm, and somehow managed to be everywhere at once, capturing every detail, every emotion, and every candid laugh without ever feeling intrusive.

The photos are absolutely stunning, vibrant, timeless, and full of emotion. He managed to capture not just the big moments but also the small, fleeting ones that mean the most when you look back. Every picture tells a story, and we’ve already looked through our album dozens of times reliving the day.

Beyond his incredible talent, Jose is just a joy to work with. He is kind, professional, and genuinely invested in making sure everything was perfect. Our family and friends can’t stop raving about how beautiful the photos are and how wonderful he was to have around.

If you’re looking for someone who will exceed every expectation and create photos that feel truly you, look no further. We feel so lucky to have had Jose capture our day and will treasure these memories forever.

Best Wedding Pics!

We hired Jose to do pictures and a video from our August 2025 wedding. Everything was so smooth and seamless from our engagement photos in the spring to planning the wedding day timeline. Jose and his videographer gave us the absolute best wedding day experience. Both were incredibly hard working, always had a vision in their heads and most importantly for us, a whole lot of fun! Jose does a fantastic job of breaking the awkward barrier of being photographed, leaving the entire session/day feeling easy and natural. Jose was very knowledgeable about our venture, too (Mansion on Main Street) which helped all of us out so much. Truly, we could not be any happier with our experience using Jose Ybarra Photography for our big day. The end results (photos/video) were absolutely breath taking and so enjoyable to rewatch/view for the rest of our days.
with love, the Schromskys 8/8/2025

Exceptional Photography and a Truly Professional Team

Jose and his knowledgeable team went above and beyond to capture every moment with such care and artistry. From the very beginning during our engagement session, he guided us with expertise, offering thoughtful advice and even connecting with trusted contacts in the industry who made the day run seamlessly. On the wedding day itself, his calm professionalism, attention to detail, and ability to anticipate special moments made us feel completely at ease. The final photos are breathtaking. These are timeless images that we will cherish forever and we are endlessly grateful for the passion and dedication he brought to our celebration. Extra special shoutout to the members of his team for really being the icing on the cake the day of as well.

Thank you from Ahmed & Ashley

We cannot say enough amazing things about Jose, Sophia, and Victor. From the moment they arrived, they brought such a warm and inviting energy that immediately put us at ease. My husband and I had never done a photo or video session together before, and while we felt awkward at times, Jose and his team guided us with such confidence and care—it made all the difference.

They allowed us to be our authentic selves, while also capturing the most emotional, beautiful, and intimate moments of our day. Even just from the sneak peek photos and videos, we are blown away by their talent and attention to detail. You can truly feel the emotion and joy in every frame.

Jose and the team felt like more than vendors—they felt like part of the celebration. From arriving at our home and blending into our morning routine, enjoying our music selections to keeping us calm and uplifted throughout the entire wedding, they went above and beyond in every way.

We are so grateful for their professionalism, kindness, patience, and incredible eye for storytelling. Working with them was one of the best decisions we made. We cannot wait to see the full gallery and video—and we truly hope our paths cross again in the future!
