1000000/10!!!

We absolutely loved working with Josh for our engagement and wedding photos! He went above and beyond for us, and we will treasure the candid (and posed) pictures he captured of us and our loved ones for the rest of our lives. I could go on and on about how great he was to work with, but I think the short and sweet way of putting it is that Josh doesn't just take pictures, he captures real joy, real emotions, and real memories. I do especially want to shout out his skills working with lighting and color in his work. As an interracial couple, it was incredibly important to us that the two of us, along with our family and friends, appeared in our pictures as we do in life. Josh beautifully captures different skin tones in the same picture and in various lighting without anyone being overly highlighted or in shadow. Based on our lengthy search process in both Boise, ID and Washington, DC, this is a rare skillset. We are so grateful to have found Josh to work with for our special day and to capture our love, and we can't recommend him enough! (Our friends and family loved him, too!)

Fantastic Photographer!

We hired Josh for our wedding after we changed dates due to Covid and our original photographer wasn't available on our new date. Josh photographed my cousin's wedding on 2018, so I knew his photos were amazing.

Josh worked with us on the timing of the day and pricing and was on time to start our day. He's very chill and down to earth and will get along with any of your other vendors, I'm sure. He was easy to work with, responsive and managed to be everywhere all the time (how?!). We had 20 guests at our intimate Covid wedding and every single person commented on how great he was to work with.

We only have a sneak peak of our photos and they are tremendous. Josh managed to get both the traditional posed family photos and other shots that I couldn't even dream of. I cannot wait to see the rest!

Thank you, Josh, for helping make our Covid wedding the wedding of our dreams!

Chill Photographer, Beautiful Photos

Josh was recommended to me by a friend and I am very happy we choose to have him as our photographer. He was not bossy or in your face, he captures the moments as they happen without letting you feel lost or directionless. Our wedding day was a blur of nerves and I would recommend Josh to any couple who wants to be in the moment the day of their wedding. I worked weddings for a few years as a videographer and I have worked with many photographers, so you can trust me when I say that having a chill and down-to-earth photographer - like Josh - who gets the shot without adding to the stress is the right move.

Josh is the best!!

My husband and I were married in November 2019 and we could not have asked for a better photographer in Josh! He captured our day so beautifully and was SO fun and great to work with. Josh is so friendly, professional, and easy going. Josh did our engagement photos prior to our wedding, giving us a chance to get to know him and his work better. He made us feel comfortable from the beginning. For our wedding day, we had certain photos we wanted him to get but really left the rest up to him to capture things as he saw them and we ended up with so many beautiful shots. In addition to his talent, the price was right for as as his package included a second shooter and unlimited time the day of the wedding for no additional cost. Josh fit right in with our family and friends and several of our guests commented on how great Josh and Hayden were. I would highly recommend Josh to anyone!!

Thank you, Josh!!

Josh did an incredible job as our photographer. He came recommended to us by an established wedding photographer; his Instagram gave us a good sense of his style, so we knew he’d be a great fit. Josh was the consummate pro. He included an engagement session, and showed us around Philadelphia as we got great photos and got comfortable being photographed - for us, very important! On wedding weekend, he came with us to the venue for the rehearsal to scout the location, so he had a fully formed gameplan on the day of - no stress. He was there for us at all times. Need a bobby pin? A sewing kit? Josh seemed to have whatever we needed on hand in his bag! Finally, the photos speak for themselves. We have loved reliving the day through his gorgeous photos! Again, his Instagram and portfolio give you a sense of what you can expect. Once the photos were edited, we got an easy-to-use link to high-quality downloads of each and every photo. We were so pleased with everything and cannot recommend him highly enough. Thank you so much, Josh!

Amazing! Photos turned out gorgeous!

Josh is amazing – after having a brief introductory meeting with him, we knew he would be a great fit for our big day. As part of his package, he did our engagement photos which turned out beautiful. Ahead of the wedding, we had a brief call to go over the timeline/where we wouldn’t to hit for photo ops which made us feel at ease. The day of the wedding, Josh made everything so FUN and stress-free; he was with us as we got ready, capturing the morning without even noticing he was there.
Throughout the whole day, he fit right in with the bridal party, he was like another member of the crew! His second shooter, Nick, was great too – they got everything done in time so we didn’t miss cocktail hour at all.
He was awesome to work with and would definitely recommend! We got the photos back about 2 months after the wedding and couldn’t be happier with how they turned out! Plus, his pricing is super reasonable!!

Amazing photographer; down for anything!

We knew Josh was exactly what we were looking for in a photographer soon as we saw his work! We ended up doing our engagement session in Iceland which was surreal. Who else gets to explore a new country while taking amazing photos? The wedding day was full of rain and Josh and his second shoot were ready for any and every shot. It was a wet and cold day but it couldn’t be more perfect. So far we just got our sneak peak photos and they are perfection! Highly highly recommend this amazing person to capture your love!

Two "ninjas"

Josh was amazing to work with from start to finish! From the first, I loved working with him because he was extremely transparent with his prices and didn't restrict us to hourly packages. I really appreciated not having to choose between capturing the beginning/ end of the day or exceeding our budget. Josh arrived early to scope out the property and was with us until the end of the reception. His second shooter Hayden (sorry if I misspelled your name!) was also a pleasure to work with. One of my guests said it best - "Josh and Hayden were ninjas!" They captured tons of candid moments without interrupting the flow of the cocktail hour or reception. Even during our posed photos, they gave minimal direction and let me and my husband talk and be ourselves while they captured the moments. We just got the photos and they are AMAZING. I highly recommend Josh to any couple looking for a professional, easy to work with, and fairly priced photographer! Wish I could give an extra star for for dealing with our massive and rambunctious bridal party. Cheers!
