Emma S. Sent on 10/03/2023The best wedding photographer!
oshua made us feel comfortable and relaxed, yet he was totally efficient and professional. We had only chatted via telephone/email before our wedding day, and he had never even been to the venue, but he quickly understood our vision, our vibe and energy and captured it so perfectly. And most importantly, we LOVE how our photos turned out. We have so many to choose from! Highly highly recommend!Joshua Rainey Photography's reply:
Thank you Emma! You and Taylor are the best and that was such a fun day hanging with you guys and your friends and family! -

Josh made all of our dreams come true with his album! He captured our first look, which is a memory that is forever ingrained as the happiest memory of my life. His shots were beautiful, and he got some amazing bubble photos! An absolutely outstanding photographer that was punctual, got good work done quickly, and was very friendly. All in all an amazing photographer!Joshua Rainey Photography's reply:
Thank you Krystina, I've had such a great time getting to know you and your dude! What a fun day and amazing weather with great people! Really loved the photos we captured and that album turned out soooo good! -

Professionals, knowledgeable and quality work. 10/10 would recommend.
He showed up and knew exactly who to talk to and exactly what photos to take. An experienced and well versed guy. I have recommended him to my entire family.Joshua Rainey Photography's reply:
Thank you Andrea! Such a cool property and everyone at the wedding was so nice! Not sure I've recovered from how hot it was haha! -

Josh is a true Pro!
My wife and I feel so fortunate to have had Josh shoot our wedding. We were like so many who didn't know if we should get one or multiple photographers. He was up front with us about the advantages and disadvantages, and ultimately we only hired Josh. He was somehow all over the place, able to take many different angles, all while not being intrusive or noticeable (literally didn't know he was there). He was very friendly and easy to work with. He put us at ease during the whole process, and we couldn't be happier with the results! Thank you, Josh! Highly recommend :)Joshua Rainey Photography's reply:
Your wedding was so fun Mikey! That was definitely the first time I've seen a groom go off a giant rope swing into a pond at night in a tuxedo. I'm thinking nobody tops that moment, ever. -

Anna C. Sent on 11/24/2019Wonderful photographer! We were thrilled to have him capture our wedding day!
Josh is a very talented, professional, creative and fun photographer! I reached out to his business when I was first looking for a photographer for our wedding. He responded back to me super fast and he was very informative on what his style was and what the wedding packages included. He was very patient, didn't rush me into any decisions, and followed up with me on questions I had for him etc. I love how he related on a personal level and is very down to earth. Super easy going and excited about his work! I couldn't have been happier with how our wedding pictures turned out and how he interacted with us and our guest on the wedding day!Joshua Rainey Photography's reply:
I love this review Anna, thank you! Your wedding was the (smoke) bomb for sure, what a great night! -

Katherine Sent on 10/24/2020Just Wonderful!
Joshua is just great to work with. Wonderful man who is easy going and up to do anything. We had to deal with covid and then fires days before our wedding and he was still game to do anything and be anywhere. The day was beautiful and he captured it all. Your doing something of your not booking him!Joshua Rainey Photography's reply:
Thank you so much Katherine! I was so glad you and Matt were able to go on as planned, what a year! Such an incredible wedding with great people too! -

The total package photographer
My husband and I are so glad we hired Josh as our photographer. He is the total package - punctual, kind, flexible, responsive, and fun to spend time with - which is a pretty big deal on one of the most joyous days of your life! The photos that we got absolutely blew me away. I don't consider myself to be particular photogenic, but somehow Josh captured this magical glow to the entire day. He has great instincts and was so patient with my grumpy toddler. Everyone in my family loved him (including the kids and the dog!). Best decision of the day, hands down.Joshua Rainey Photography's reply:
Oh goodness what an awesome wedding that was too! So much fun hanging with you guys and capturing some memories for you! -

Stop your looking and hire Joshua Rainey Photography for your wedding!
Josh seamlessly fits in with your day and captures every emotion and look - though you barely know he is there. He has such a gift for making everyone comfortable and finding genuine interactions to photograph. He’s super easy to coordinate with, very responsive, so great to work with, and gives you an insanely HUGE library of photos with no additional costs. (Also every photo is so beautiful it is unreal)
Hire Josh! You will have zero regrets and your pictures will be all the more perfect because of it!Joshua Rainey Photography's reply:
Thanks a ton Kendall! It definitely helped that your wedding was amazing! I had so much fun hanging out with you and your family, what a great day! -

Mollee Sent on 10/02/2019Couldn⠹t imagine anyone else capturing our special day!
Josh is amazing and so talented!!!
When I first contacted Josh I had already contacted many photographers -- the difference with Josh, was that Michael and I both immediately felt a connection with him.
I found Josh online and his page got my attention because it was everything I was looking for in our wedding photographer! The style and just everything he was about when it came to his clients getting their photos!
Like I mentioned before, connection was huge for me when choosing our vendors for our wedding! Especially a photographer because they are capturing some pretty special and intimate moments. Josh was very easy to communicate with and he has been so fun to work with and get to know over this last year. We had fun hanging out with Josh for our engagement pictures and when it came time to our wedding day 5 months later we were both so comfortable with him!
For our wedding day we had both Josh and his wife Rachael! What an awesome couple!!!
Both Josh and Rachael are so talented and have an eye for detail. Michael and I being the way we are we appreciated every fix of our hair or making sure the little details were showing (for example Michael's watch)!
We love what you guys are about and love that you share a passion for photography and can do it together!
Josh and Rachael we can't thank you guys enough for capturing our day so perfectly!

Joshua Rainey Photography's reply:
Thank you so much Mollee for the kind review! We were honored to make it up to Tacoma for your wedding, what an incredible event! So excited to edit these photos and give you way more pics than I should haha! Get ready to load up some space on your computer, there's going to be a ton of photos from this one for sure! -

Absolutely amazing photographer
Keith captured our big day and we could not have asked for a more personable, talented person to do so! He made us all feel so comfortable, kept the day moving in accordance to the timeline, managed cranky kids in pictures and had the most unreal eye for where pictures would look best! He sent us sneak peeks the same night of our wedding and now we are DYING to see the rest! Keith does amazing work and we are so happy we found him to capture our big day!Joshua Rainey Photography's reply:
Thank you guys for such a great review of Keith! Your wedding was amazing and that made his job so much easier. Such great emotion and laughs, perfect for Keith's style! Photos coming soon! -

An-Khanh Sent on 07/27/2019Easy, flexible, responsive
Working with Joshua was incredibly easy and fun! We hired him for his style, professionalism, and compatibility with our vision and mutual rapport. He seamlessly captured the moments as they unfolded while being almost invisible himself- like a ninja with a camera! We would absolutely love to hire him again should the occasion arise.Joshua Rainey Photography's reply:
Aww thank you for such a kind review An-Khanh! Your wedding was a blast and we loved getting to be there with you guys to capture those moments! -

Audrey H. Sent on 10/03/2019Couldn't have hoped for a better experience
Both my husband and I don't really like having our photo taken but Joshua made it a totally comfortable experience and we ended up with hundreds (literally over 1300) photos that we will treasure forever. He captured both the formal Catholic wedding and the outdoor reception beautifully. Joshua blended in so well at our wedding that guests thought he must be a second cousin and the beautiful photos showed how quick and comfortable he made everyone. Thank you for capturing our day!Joshua Rainey Photography's reply:
Thank you so much for this review Audrey, and thanks for hiring us for your wedding day! It was so much fun hanging out with you and your friends/family! -

Great photographer for racially diverse families!
We were so lucky to get Joshua for our wedding! We got a ton of pictures, and they are so full of color! Joshua really listened to what we were looking for and then did that, with his own style and expertise.
Like most racially diverse couples/families, we were concerned about whether everyone would show up looking like themselves and not too washed out or too blurry--Joshua nailed it! No issues at all, just great pictures. :)
We asked for and got mix of candid shots (really important to us) and posed family and couple shots. Miraculously, everyone looks great in the group pics which I just can't believe! That never happens! And in the candid shots, Joshua was so unobtrusive that we didn't even know where he was and whether he'd captured those moments until we got the pictures back.
Joshua was willing to work with us for a reasonable price given that our event was so small (my mom called it a "micro-wedding"). He even went a step further and suggested we split the time and do a couple's photoshoot at another location that evening. We got two beautiful locations for our pics, and Joshua highlighted the best in each location, scouting out which areas would be the best backdrops. Even better, we were more relaxed when we didn't feel guests were waiting on us, and we got lovely sunset pictures at the location where we got engaged!
Joshua's wife, Rachel, is an amazing makeup artist and hair stylist (and apparently photographer, too--is there anything she can't do?) , and stepped in at the almost-last minute to do mine. She was so great to work with as well, and the confidence I got from having a professional do my make-up and hair showed through in our pictures. I would definitely work with them again!Joshua Rainey Photography's reply:
Thank you for such a kind and thorough review Danielle! Your wedding was so amazing and it was great working with the two of you! The locations too, stunning! -

Becky E. Sent on 08/07/2019The Photographer You Want on Your Wedding Day!
Josh is amazing to work with, takes incredible photos, and makes a great team with your vendors. I had the pleasure of meeting Josh while he photographed my best friend’s wedding in November 2017. After working with Josh, watching him interact with the wedding party and the guests, there was no question I had to have Josh photograph my wedding this year. Josh makes things so effortless, and you can trust him to get the best photos of your perfect day! Josh helps you think about the photos you want and ensures he captures your wishes. He explores your property and finds the most breathtaking views. I would hire Josh over and over again, he’s exactly the photographer you want on your wedding day!Joshua Rainey Photography's reply:
Thank you so much for this Becky! And thank you to you and Nathan for inviting me to document your amazing wedding day in Carlsbad, that was such a cool experience! It will definitely be a wedding I'll never forget, I feel honored to have been part of it! -

Kelsey Sent on 11/25/2018Amazing Wedding Photographer!
Josh was a fantastic photographer. He made both me and my husband feel comfortable behind the camera and caught some lovely candid moments over the course of the night. Leading up to the wedding, he was easy to work with, payment went smoothly, and he gave us some great recommendations for other vendors in the area.Joshua Rainey Photography's reply:
Thank you so much for this great review Kelsey! But you didn't mention the crazy rain storm and me having to run back and forth to coordinate and try to keep people dry, haha! Your wedding was so fun too! -

Laura A. Sent on 10/24/2018Captured our wedding beautifully
We met Joshua at a wedding showcase and liked him right away. We did an engagement shoot with him which was included in the package. He was professional, flexible, knowledgeable and made us feel at ease. Up until the wedding, he answered all of our questions and we felt confident he knew what we wanted. The day of he was much more than a photographer. He even helped us with other details like a dress malfunction and pocket squares! :) The second photographer was worth it, gave us different angles and more moments captured. We love the pictures and have a hard time choosing our "favorites". Our friends and family think they are amazing too. We would definitely recommend Joshua.Joshua Rainey Photography's reply:
Aww thank you for such a nice review Laura! You and Ben were so much fun to work with and we loved getting to be a part of your big day! -

Traci Sent on 04/03/2018Josh took beautiful photos of all of the fine details of the wedding, which, as a bride and groom, you don’t really get to look at on the big day. So, we were so thankful to have those photos.
Not only did Josh make sure to capture all of the precious moments throughout the day, he also put so much effort into the editing and quality of the photos. When we received our photos, we were shocked by how many we got back! However, we were also impressed by the fact that along with most photos, we were given multiple copies of pictures with different variations of editing.
Josh’s artistry and craft is beyond impressive! We are so in love with our photos, and would recommend him to anyone and everyone who needs photos taken! We hope to use him again in the future!Joshua Rainey Photography's reply:
Thank you for an awesome review Traci, your wedding was incredible and definitely made my job so much easier! -
