We really can't say enough about Josh, his amazing work and attitude, and how happy we are with the photos he captured!!!!!!!

We had a bit of an unorthodox wedding. At least from how we originally imagined it.

As with many brides and grooms this year, the COVID-19 outbreak affected our original plans. We planned on having a large family wedding with around 150 guests, traveling from half a dozen states, and two countries in New York. We had all of our vendors, locations and deposits in place. Like the rest of the world, we never could think something would prevent us from having the large ceremony and family party exactly how we envisioned.

By the end of May of 2020, however, we made the difficult decision to cancel those plans. We decided to have a more intimate gathering with 10 of our local immediate family members. We did not want to wait for an unknown amount of time to celebrate what would be the most important day of our lives, and we scrambled to secure a location and vendors.

Josh was one of four wedding photographers we found in Los Angeles. We realized very quickly that he was a perfect fit for us. Not only were his gallery and years of experience impressive; he was incredibly friendly, easy to communicate with and thorough. Together we organized our day and planned the shot set-ups for our wedding.

When the day came, Josh and his equally amazing 2nd shooter and assistant, Bri, were early, fully prepared and ready to get to work. Throughout the day, we could tell they shared our enthusiasm, and love of their craft. They were genuinely excited to document all the small moments that flew by for us.

Josh was the best thing that could’ve happened to us regardless of circumstance - you will not regret having him photograph any event for you, and we can’t wait to work with him again!!!!!!!!!

Josh is a stand up guy with moral character and a talented eye.

Josh was the absolute best. I looked at all the other reviews and we decided to go with him for our wedding. We knew it would a little tough since we were planning on getting married during covid times. We had our first conversation and I believe we were on the phone for a few hours just talking and getting to know each other. He was very personable,funny and also professional. We hit it off right away. He let us know all the steps he would take to make our wedding special from beginning to end. We let him know all protocols we were taking to make him and his staff safe. We keep in contact all the way until the day of the wedding and he was just as funny in person as he was on the phone. We kept our 6ft social distance but we were still able to talk and he got great shots despite the circumstances. Throughout the day he was very helpful putting us and our family in the right places. He continued to be great all the way until he was leaving we wished he could have stayed and partied with us. Even after the wedding the follow up was great he continued to keep in contact with us with updates on when our photos would be done. We got a little sneak preview to show our family members and they were beautiful we couldn't wait for all of them. When they all finally came in they were breathtaking and while we looked at them he stayed on the phone with us with was very nice. We really enjoyed our time with Josh and will definitely recommend him to friends and family and if we will definitely use him again for photos.

Josh is level of skill and fun personality and professionalism and persistence made our wedding pictures better than we could’ve ever imagined! Honestly mind blown!! Worth way more than value paid!!!

Josh and his team are truly magical! They don't just take really good pictures they help facilitate the details of the wedding beforehand, show up with smiles and warm hearts and bring a gentle order 2 the chaotic stress of a wedding day!!!

So my grandma just passed...on the day of my wedding I was going to skip photos with my grandparents since I felt we were running a little behind. Josh encouraged me to take the extra photos with them and now I’m so grateful that he did. The photo I have of my grandma is so special to me and I have Josh to thank for that.

Aside from that, our day ran smoothly. We had A LOT of portraits since we both have such huge families and he got through every single photo. Was super helpful with sticking to the schedule and we even wrapped up RIGHT. ON. TIME.

We were sold on Josh from day 1 and we could not have been happier with our decision. His energy is amazing, and we got such a wide variety of creative and fun photos. We love our album, and would recommend him to anyone.

Josh and his assistant were amazing! They were so creative and willing to truly take the time to get every shot we requested plus some. Our pictures turned out better than we could have imagined. Josh was able to capture the spirit of our day, the emotions of our guests, and the love between the two of us. All of this while blending in; leaving us wondering how they captured the shots they did. He also was able to tactfully navigate the high energy of family pictures while keeping all of us on track and happy. We would recommend Josh Reiss Photography to anyone looking for a phenomenal experience. Professional, creative, personable, kind, patient, and soooo easy to work with. Josh really helped make our day one of a kind.

My wife and I knew that picking the right the photographer was one of the most important aspects of our wedding. We did a lot of research and looked at a ton of sample photos. While most other photographers seemed to offer great service, Josh’s photos stood out above the rest. The wedding day was stressful enough, but Josh made sure our photo sessions were a breeze. He had all of our locations mapped out and guided us throughout the day (handling the most difficult of guests with ease). We could not be happier with the way our photos turned out and the way Josh handled our big day. So if you’re looking at this trying to decide on a wedding photographer (or any other event) look no further, Josh is THE MAN!!

THANK YOU JOSH!!! If you are reading these reviews, look no further! Josh is your guy! Josh’s artistic eye, creativity, and magic that he brings to the sessions and through his photos compares to none! The phone conversations leading up to our engagement shoot were so much fun, we knew our engagement session was going to be amazing. We had the best time running around Little Tokyo and the Arts District in DTLA with Josh and Bree. We are pretty awkward taking photos, and Josh was able to make our awkward selves feel 110% comfortable as if we were just hanging out with some old friends. The fantastic photos are proof of that, and he brought our love to life in every shot. Thank you so much Josh & Bree!
