About

Hey there! I’m Josiah Hassler—a Nevada and California-based destination elopement photographer who’s all about crafting experiences that feel real, relaxed, and completely your own.

With over 200 elopements and weddings behind me, I bring a balance of calm energy and adventurous spirit to every couple I work with. I’m not just here to take photos—I’m here to help you plan something unforgettable. Whether that’s hiking in the Sierra backcountry, exploring the coast, or sipping wine in an Italian vineyard, I’ll help you bring your vision to life.

From finding epic locations to sorting permits, timelines, and logistics—I’ve got it covered. Need an officiant too? I can help with that. I’m based near Lake Tahoe, but I’ll travel anywhere in the world to make your dream day happen. You just get to show up, soak it all in, and actually enjoy the adventure. I’ll make sure it’s captured in a way that feels like you.

Incredible Photographer

We had an absolutely phenomenal experience with Josiah! Throughout the whole process he was responsive, accommodating, flexible and professional. During the wedding day he was somehow everywhere he needed to be without being distracting. He has a fantastic eye, and we LOVE our pictures. Highly recommend!

Absolutely Wonderful

Josiah was truly remarkable on our wedding day. From the initial consultation to the final delivery, Josiah's attention to detail and expertise made our experience unforgettable. His ability to adapt to different lighting conditions was impressive, especially since our event ran later than we originally planned. The turnaround time for receiving the final edited photos was speedy and they turned out beautifully.

Josiah's communication throughout the process was excellent. He kept us informed at every step, which helped manage our expectations and made us feel at ease. We were so grateful to have had Josiah as our wedding photographer. His passion for his craft and commitment to exceeding our expectations truly made our day even more special. We highly recommend Josiah to any couple looking for a talented and reliable photographer who truly cares about delivering exceptional results.

Beautiful Photos and Experience!

Josiah was such a joy to work with. He immediately put us at ease with his professional confidence and easy-going demeanor - my partner and I aren't super comfortable in front of cameras and Josiah was so patient and helpful in working with us to find poses that felt and looked natural. He captured so many sweet details and moments, from the first look to late night pizza on the dance floor. The photos were delivered quickly after the wedding and we were so pleased with the final product!

Photographer

We could not recommend Josiah in a higher regard. He was very pleasant to work with and didn’t make us feel awkward at all! He also is so good at what he does - every picture exceeded any expectation I could have ever imagined. He was also very great about follow up in communication prior to the event and super flexible on location and when we wanted our hours to start. We will absolutely be using him for future life events again!!

Josiah was great & personable!

We were very happy with Josiah for both our wedding and engagement photos. He arrived early to scout out locations around the venue and found us some beautiful and creative places to include in our shoot. He gave us guidance on what to do in a way that made everything feel natural for us. He captured our day, our family & friends and us perfectly. We got our sneak peeks the next morning and had our entire gallery in less than 4 weeks!

Run, don't walk to book Josiah for any and all photos you need.

Josiah is not only an incredibly talented photographer, but amazing with guests and not to mention quick to pivot when/if plans change. Our wedding presented a few challenges due a significant storm. Josiah was excited and embraced the weather to shoot in the snow and captured amazing images! So many of our guests commented on his service and raved about the final product once we received final edits. Indoor, outdoor, clear skies, heavy snow... it doesn't matter, Josiah is amazing. I think our favorite thing about his work is his ability to capture the little moments that emulate the vibe and emotion of our special day. We can't say enough good things about him.

A truly spectacular experience!

We truly had a lovely time with Josiah as our photographer! Just as background, my husband and I tied the knot a year ago (we essentially eloped during COVID). But we wanted to get our families together for a weekend to meet one another and have some pictures taken. Honestly being newbies to the Tahoe region, Josiah was very patient in helping us find certain places to shoot at, giving us advice of what would be the best for beautiful pictures. Even the day of the shoot, we requested a big, last-minute change and he was able to accommodate for us. Truly a professional and has an incredible eye! When my husband and I took individual pictures with him, he knew exactly where he wanted us and how to frame the shot, giving only minimal directions, which was very helpful for me! Best part was hiking up to this incredible vantage point! Easily the coolest thing we’ve ever done in Tahoe! Also, we got our photos back in just a few days and they are SIMPLY STUNNING! Thank you for Josiah for giving us a lifetime of memories!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
