About

Your wedding in the woods, a garden at your family summer home, an old, renovated factory space, the steps at city hall; whatever you decide reflects with you as a couple, all the way down to the simplest of details. I want to depict your wedding in a way that resonates with you in a creative, intimate, yet unobtrusive way. My role involves a personal connection and understanding of your relationship and what brought you to where you are today.

A Wedding Forever Remembered & Captured

We booked Joe for our wedding in Gloucester, MA at the Beauport Hotel on 11/4/22. Joe came highly recommended to us by a friend & guest of our wedding, who had attended a themed wedding he was the photographer before and raved about his style & photos, and his working persona. On that recommendation we reviewed Joe’s work and were very pleased with what we saw. It was important to us as a same-sex interracial could between two men that there would be some representation in his examples and we were both delighted to see that there was, and that it was beautifully shown as equal and not as a token image. We consulted with Joe and were very confident in what he would be able to produce for us, and how well he engaged with us right from the start.
We were SO RIGHT to have gone with Joe. We had multiple consultations up to the wedding day and come that day he was ON IT. We booked his services for 8 hours to capture getting ready, family and wedding party pics, the ceremony, cocktail hour, and a large portion of the reception.
He made it clear that it was the wishes to celebrate our day that would lead his work and it showed in how friendly and accommodating he was to absolutely everyone involved, us, the wedding party, family, guests, etc. His styling and ability to capture light & dark photos, the color vibrancy, the elegance, the fun, all were just right for this occasion. He didn’t miss a single important moment, and captured so many fun candid moments that absolutely keep the memory of our special day alive. At the end of his time, he made sure to come up to us during the partying to make sure that we got absolutely everything we’d hope for and if there were any more shots we could possibly want; this was a very nice way to wrap things up!
A couple months after the wedding, his processing of all the photos was complete and we were given access to digital downloads of a literal thousand very high-quality resolution photos! Choosing just a few to showcase is a challenge for sure, but every one brings such fond memories.
It was an absolute pleasure to work with Joe, and then the end products speak for themselves. We 100% recommend him and will absolutely without question work with him again should we ever need a photographer!

Authentic, magical photos

Joe is stupendous. We were specifically looking for someone who could capture the day's spirit without it seeming posed or forced. We scrolled through dozens of photographer portfolios and faced many of the same staged scenarios that typify the industry. Then we found Joe. Joe's work felt different. His photos have an incredible balance of authenticity and magic to them. In addition, having Joe around during the event was like having another friend at our party except we didn't let him enjoy cocktail hour. He was easy to communicate with from our very first phone call and being at ease throughout the day helped capture some of our most spontaneous moments. Because the day itself flew by so quickly, I genuinely get to relive our wedding day over through his work. For a day that passes by too quickly, investing in a phenomenal photographer is one of the best uses for your money. Joe exceeded all of our expectations, was a consummate professional, and produced candid shots that make me laugh, cry, and, some I don't even remember happening. Based on the photos, it looks like we had a rocking party. 10/10 would recommend.

Amazing photographer and wonderful person

Joe is an amazing photographer and a wonderful person. He’s experienced, professional, considerate, reliable, personable, easygoing, and kind. Like many couples when they get married, my now-husband and I felt awkward having our photo taken repeatedly but Joe’s personality and sense of humor made it truly fun. His photos are beautiful, special, and authentic—he is an artist and if you’re looking for something a bit more interesting than your typical staged wedding photos, HIRE THIS MAN! I remember the moment Joe sent us our final photos…my face hurt from smiling as we viewed them for the first time and saw all the genuine laughs and candid moments he captured. Working with Joe was a privilege, and we are grateful to now call him a friend.

What we love most about JGD is their ability to not only capture the "big" moments of your wedding, but the tiny moments... the ones that you may miss amongst all the hustle and bustle of your event. In addition to being a skilled photographer, Joe is also a great guy and surrounds himself with a team that will surely make you feel comfortable from the start. Nkd highly recommends JGD!
