    Stunning photos!

    We hired Joe & Kathrina for our engagement and wedding photos and they were so amazing to work with! Not only did they deliver stunning photos in a timely manner, they were so fun and easy going. We felt very comfortable around them where we often forgot photo were being taken. Throughout the whole process they were super communicative and overall a joy to work with.

    They bring out the best in their couples and it shows!

    Joe+Kathrina shot our La Jolla wedding and desert engagement photos in the same week and did SUCH a beautiful job on both. Not only that, they also shot our wedding video. We were from out of town and knew nothing about the area, but they really came through on picking the best spots. I can't say enough good things about the work they turn out, and how comfortable they made us feel throughout the whole process. Recommend 100%.

    Best Photographers Ever!

    My husband and I got in touch with Joe and Kathrina after they did the photography for a friend's wedding. I'm not a huge fan of a most engagement/wedding photos because they often seem stiff and posed and our friend's photos were not that way so I knew I had to meet their photographers. We knew right away that we wanted to work with them. They did our engagement shoot as well as our wedding and we couldn't be happier with how the photos turned out. Joe and Kathrina so genuine and authentic and they bring that out of you and your partner and make you feel so comfortable. They really captured us and there's not one awkward photo. Our wedding coordinator said things like "your photographers are going to make you walk down the aisle again to get more photos" and I'm so glad that we didn't hire those photographers. I look at our photos all the time and truly treasure them. I recommend Joe+Kathrina to anyone looking and would work with them again in a heartbeat! Thank you guys so so much!

    Joe + Kathrina Saved the Day!

    Joe and Kathrina were absolutely amazing. Honestly, I truly believe they saved the day. We had put so much money and effort into planning this gorgeous wedding and of ALL days, Los Angeles decided to rain on OUR day. It never rains in September! I was mortified. If I could go back and change my attitude I would do it in a second, but when you’re in it you really don’t have much control over your emotions. Or at least I didn’t. Joe and Kathrina, from the second they arrived, calmed me down, made me laugh, and got those photos that when I look back make me completely forget about the rain. I had my ups and downs during the day but they stuck it out with me. They even drove us down Sunset after the reception to get some photos in our wedding attire at a local classic diner. We ate burgers and drank champagne, they captured our true selves…relaxed and a little tipsy. This lead to Joe capturing the moment I jumped into the pool in my wedding dress! I don't know many photographers who go that extra mile to make sure you have everything you could hope for in photos. It brings us so much joy to look back and think of the next life event we can have them capture in the future!

    They are the BEST photo team ever - fun, creative & personable

    My husband and I had our wedding in the middle of the pandemic by doing a drive-in movie styled event. We exchanged vows on stage while everyone stayed in their cars listening to the audio through their car radios. Afterwards we watched a movie on the screens just like a drive-in theater. We could not have pulled this off without the professionalism from Joe and Kathrina's photography who perfectly captured our personalities, made us feel comfortable and made it fun for us to be in front of a camera (something neither of us were used to) all while staying safe during pandemic protocols. They also did our engagement session and were so so helpful throughout the entire process of brainstorming ideas and pivoting when plans had to change. Thank you so much for making our day perfect and creating these beautiful photos so that we can relive our most perfect day over-and-over again :) We'd highly recommend them for any occasion, not just weddings but for memorable birthdays, anniversaries, company events, anything!!

    best photos ever by the best people ever

    Joe+Kathrina were the absolute best couple! We actually met them in NYC before deciding on having them shoot our wedding, and instantly knew they were the right fit for us. Neither of us feel we are very photogenic, and they couldn't have captured our natural happiness on our wedding weekend more perfectly. They even shot our pool party the day before which was such an extra special thing to do! It helped them get comfortable with the lighting on the property. Everyone at the wedding loved them, they fit in seamlessly, and the father of the bride raved about them for months and months after the wedding. They provided an amazing lay out for timing of how we would take photos with our large family. Taking photos out in the desert with just the four of us was such a highlight of our day truly. They are a breath of fresh air during a time when planning can be stressful. They reminded us to slow down and enjoy each other because they would capture the moments so beautifully. Can't recommend them enough!!!

    Wedding Photographers

    Joe and Kathrina out did themselves when it came to our wedding photos. They captured every detail and the raw and real emotions from the day which is something we cherish more than anything. Not only are these 2 extremely talented and creative, they are the nicest and funniest people ever and we are so lucky and grateful to have had them apart of our big day!

    One of the best.

    Joe and Kathrina are so much fun, first of all. They really help awkward-in-front-of-the-camera folks (hello, that's me and my husband) feel comfortable and at ease, and they're just awesome people. But also, we were just blown away by how incredible our wedding photos turned out. They're phenomenal and really captured the urban-cool vibe we were going for. We stumbled upon them on Instagram and it was far and away the happiest accident we had while wedding planning. Hiring them was a no-brainer and one of the best decisions we made.

    Best wedding photographers ever!

    I cannot express how much my husband and I love Joe + Kathrina. From the first day we met with them we just clicked and knew we had to have them photograph our wedding. It was so important to us to have quality, natural looking photos from our wedding day to look back on and they provided just that. They made us so comfortable during both our engagement shoot and on the wedding day. It felt like we were just hanging out with our friends and having a good time! The photos we got back were STUNNING and I never get tired of looking at them. For any of our future photo needs Joe + Kathrina will be our go-to photographers. They even spent a day in the desert with us to take 1 year anniversary photos and we had so much fun! They are the sweetest couple and make everyone feel like family.

    Words can not describe how happy Rod and I are with the experience we had with Joe + Kathrina! They are such an awesome duo-and it reflects in the energy they bring to their work! They truly went above and beyond for our big day and made sure that everything went smoothly. We just received our photos and love every single one. Thank you both for being so wonderful, professional, bubbly and AWESOME!

    Joe+Kathrina are professional, reliable, talented and FUN! The style and quality of their photography is outstanding. They were very responsive to any questions I had leading up to the wedding, and on the big day, they were punctual, organized, and unobtrusive. They understood my vision for the wedding, and the fabulous photos they captured reflected both my vision and their unique viewpoint. They have such dynamic and fun personalities, it was an absolute pleasure to be around them! Their pricing is reasonable and appropriate, and they were very flexible in meeting all my needs. My husband and I wholeheartedly recommend them!

    My husband and I recently participated in a Maternity PhotoShoot with Joe+Kathrina! They were recommended by a friend and we were very satisfied with their work!

    We loved the following:

    - Very responsive to emails! I have emailed with other photographers and J&K were very good with responding to my emails in a timely manner. They also made sure to answer any questions or concerns I had addressed in my emails.

    - They arrived to the shooting location on time and were ready to go to work at the said time.

    - J&K were very friendly to work with. We haven't done professional photos for almost 5 years and weren't sure if we would look like or feel like robots. J&K made everything very easy for us. They explained to us how we should feel, reminded us to be natural, and engaged in conversation with us which helped us feel more relaxed and forget about the pressures about looking good in front of the camera. They definitely made taking pictures easier and fun!

    Overall I would definitely recommend their services to anyone that needed a photographer. They produce excellent photos and are a joy to work with! Glad my friend suggested their services to me!

    Joe and Katrina are an outstanding pair! From the moment we met them they were like friends to us. They are so much fun to be around and they are professional. J&K did our engagment photos and wedding photos and all of the images turned out so great! Though out pre planning for both sessions they were always extremly responsive to any questions we had and always so helpful. They deliver stills on time and in the most creative and fun packages.J&K are extreamly good at what they do! They have a way to make even the most dull surroundings photograph in a creative and memorable way. J & K are some of the most talented photographers in the biz. If you are deciding on which photograhers to hire you will not go wrong with J&k! They are the best of the best!

    Joe and Kathrina are so easy to work with. They are professional yet personable, and are comfortable to be around. They both have a different eye for photography so you get unique shots you would never think to ask a photographer for. They are worth every penny they charge, and do excellent, quick work. Our website they created with all of our wedding photos was so beautiful and our friends and family loved it. On our wedding day it rained, and they took everything in stride even when we had them shoot our couple photos down the street. When I ordered some prints from them after the wedding and had a problem with one of them...they fixed the issue quickly and without question. Joe and Kathrina are both professional photographers that put you at ease. I would recommend them without hesitation.

    I cannot say enough good things about these photographers! We were very on the fence about even spending the money on a wedding photographer, and I can tell you that this was OUR BEST decision regarding our wedding. We absolutely love all of our photos, and even our friends and family were impressed with Joe & Kathrina's friendliness and professionalism.

    Not only did we have a great time getting photographed on our wedding, the pictures are stunning! Do yourselves a favor, and book these photographers IMMEDIATELY! :)

    Joe and Kathrina are not only amazing photographers but they are also amazing people. From the first time we met with them we knew that we wanted them to shoot our wedding and they were the first photographers we met! We could not have asked for a more professional, fun and energetic duo for our wedding. Taking wedding and engagement pictures can be a lot of work for some couples but they made everything so easy, so fun and taught us a couple tricks in the process! It was such a pleasure to have them as part of our big day and cannot thank them enough!

    AMAZING! Dynamic Duo! Professionalism with a great sense of FUN! Joe + Kathrina shot our wedding this past October 2012. I had heard so many horror stories about wedding photographers, so I was very careful when choosing ours for our Big day! And man am I glad I chose them! They had so many ideas and were super flexible. I am super indecisive and we were trying to have a super relaxed casual atmosphere for our wedding, so they were in charge of getting as much of "everything" as they could. (And they sure did) it was amazing how much you "miss" during THAT day... It goes by so fast. It was so fun to see all the pictures and the fun that everyone had. Joe and Kathrina work so well together and I especially LOVED their collaboration on our wedding rings picture... Very unique! It wasn't until we saw the photos that we realized they had taken our wedding rings and paired it with our Tequilla Toast we did at the wedding. Those photos were super creative and encompassed the memories of that day! I can go on and on with a million great things to say about these two, but let me finish by saying "you will not be disappointed if you use these two to capture your special memories"!
    Thank you J +K for capturing our family and friends on our most special day!

    Joe & Kathrina were referred to us by a friend and we couldn't be happier! They are truly an amazing and talented pair. They were very professional, organized, friendly, and creative. We received so many compliments on our engagement pictures they did for us, as well as our wedding photos. Another thing that stood out to us was how quickly they were at responding back to us whenever we had a question. We also enjoyed their fun and easy going personalities. Most importantly, we are extremely satisfied with the work they provided. We not only made new friends, but are now left with these beautiful photos we can cherish for years to come. Now the only problem we're left with is which ones to frame in our home :) Thank you again Kathrina & Joe!

    We met Joe and Kathrina at our cousins' wedding, and we instantly fell in love with their work. Joe and Kathrina are spunky and creative and put an original spin on everything they do, and that is why we chose them! They were quick to answer all of our questions, and met with us anytime we needed something, and they were always willing to work with our concerns and crazy schedule. We are so glad they were their to capture our engagement and wedding. We get so many complements on our photos and we always put in a good word for them to others.

    Joe+Kathrina were nothing short of a pleasure to work with. They were so fun and funny, and they made taking pictures one of the highlights of our wedding day. Even my husband (who hates posing for pictures) thoroughly enjoyed himself! On top of that, the final product was AMAZING. I couldn't be happier with how our wedding photos turned out. I HIGHLY recommend Joe+Kathrina for anyone's photography needs.

    LOVED, LOVED, LOVED Joe+Kathrina! Their work is AMAZING! We were blown away by the photos and they were brilliant at capturing the essence of our wedding. We still get happy tears looking at all the pictures. We did not want boring wedding pictures, which is why we chose Joe+Katrina. They just had a way of making a photo come alive. They had the best personality for our wedding party and they were super sweet! We were fortunate to have them be a part of such a special day! We love them!

    I could not have hoped for a better Photographer for our special day. They were creative, patient, funny, and fit in with the wedding party. They were a blessing on a crazy day. A calming factor and certainly added to the fun of the event. Highly recommend them for your wedding.

    I have been following J+K Photography for a while now... and when my wedding came up, there was no one else that I even wanted to talk to! Joe and Kathrina are AMAZING. They are fun yet professional at the same time. They will make you feel comfortable and crack jokes to help bring that "natural smile" out of you. LOVE LOVE LOVE J+K - awesome people to work with!
