    Iconic photos & stellar artistry

    Josie and her teammate Teva were out of this world on our wedding day! I could not have asked for a more calming, supportive, and creative presence throughout the long day of wedding festivities. Josie is an incredible artist and creates such a natural and beautiful setting that makes you feel so comfortable in front of the camera. Whether for a wedding or other special occasion, Josie is the BEST PHOTOGRAPHER and will deliver the most exceptional photos you could have ever dreamt of!

    Amazing Job!

    Josie and Teva crushed it at our wedding this past month! She was so easy to work with and fit our vibe perfectly. She was communicative, showed up on time, and got our edited wedding photos over to us quickly. My wife and I are seriously considering what other events we can host in order to hire Josie again.

    Josie captured our wedding perfectly!

    Josie was the best photographer to work with. From our first email and call, to the day of, she was so easy and fun to work with. On the day, she brought so much energy and made us feel really comfortable. All of our friends and family also felt great with her around. Our sneak peek photos came back while we were on our honeymoon, and it was so special to look through those first pictures right after. Josie did such an incredible job of capturing all of the emotions, from tears to laughter and silly moments. Even with just one photographer, she managed to be everywhere at once and capture so many moments throughout the day. The way she edited the photos stands out because the colors and emotions are so vibrant and warm. It’s hard to describe, but they just capture everything so well.

    We’re so happy we chose Josie and have these amazing photos to print out and look back on for years to come. Highly highly recommend.

    The best!

    What a dream to work with Josie! We used her for our engagement photos and wedding, she made us feel so comfortable and it was a breeze! She gave us sneak peaks very quickly after the wedding and the FULL album less than a month after. Her work is absolutely amazing, you know when your going through your album and every photo your mentioning "wow thats a good one" haha I wouldn't want to work with anyone else. She captured our special day perfectly, from the detailed shots, candid, she got it all. I HIGHLY recommend Josie!

    Wedding Photos of My Dreams

    Josie shot photos for our wedding and they were STUNNING😍😍😍 I literally can’t say enough about how dreamy the photos were. She captured our true selves and embodied our love into photos. She made us feel so natural in front of the camera, and we had such a great time. Thank you for everything Josie! 10/10 would recommend for any photo shoot (she has also photographed our maternity photos )

    The chillest coolest most talented photographer

    Josie is the absolute best. My husband and I were trying to find a photographer who would fit our laid back style for our wedding and we were stoked when we found Josie. We had a local wedding in our hometown with every phase of the event hosted at a different venue in town. Josie was down for the challenge and captured our day beautifully. She didn't even complain when the 3 of us got stranded 5 blocks from our last venue and had to hoof it together. Would recommend Josie again and again and again.

    Josie is the best!

    A friend recommended Josie when we were looking for wedding photographers and it was one of the best decisions we made! We couldn’t be more grateful to have had Josie capture our wedding day. She was a pleasure to work with from start to finish, and delivered us amazing photos. Her candid style captured some of the most fun moments of our wedding and we truly love looking back at our photos She was very communicative leading up to our wedding and made us feel at ease while shooting throughout the day. Josie is truly a gem and you won’t regret booking her!

    Book her now!

    I just got my wedding photos back and I am in love with how they turned out. Josie was such a perfect fit for our destination wedding in Rural Mexico—her style totally matched the vibe I was going for and worked so well with our design-forward venue. She was super responsive leading up to the day and followed my shot list exactly, which gave me so much peace of mind knowing we wouldn’t miss any of the most important shots in the whirlwind of the day. She had such a friendly, laid-back energy that made everything feel easy and fun. And honestly, after we finished the portraits, I barely noticed she was there—she wasn’t in anyone’s way, just quietly doing her thing and capturing candid moments. Couldn’t recommend her more!

    Josie is the absolute BEST!

    She captured the best photos of our wedding day and understood my hate for posed photos. She captured action shots of my husband and I both getting ready with our friends and family and made us feel super comfortable. I trusted her to do her thing and she was able to capture the happiness all around and you can feel it through the story her photos told. I found her because she photographed our good friends wedding and then she did my step brothers wedding after mine. Would hire her and her team again and again. Can't say enough good things! Thank you, Josie!

    Josie is simply THE BEST

    I hired Josie for my wedding in New York in 2023. Here is my review:

    I somehow stumbled upon Josie's Instagram handle almost a decade ago, and I remember being so blown away by her photos that it made me want to pick up a camera. I never became as good as her, but when I finally found my special someone, there was only one person in mind that I knew I had to photograph our wedding.

    You know that feeling you get when you know the person you are staring at is the person you have been searching for. You know, that timeless moment that makes you believe for just a single second that a second can last for all of time. Then, poof, that moment is gone, and you wish you had captured it in something tangible. Josie is the type of photographer who gets that feeling and knows how to capture it. If you book her for your engagement photos, wedding party, or wedding day, you can't get anyone better. You won't want anyone better. She captures the divine fleeting moments better than anyone else. She gives you the gift of living in forever with the ones you love.

    I could go on about how great a communicator she is and how charming and personable she is, but if you have read this review this far, you will know that she clearly has all of those skills, too. Book her; you won't regret it, my friend.

    Oh, and one last thing. She is the only vendor I wrote a review for, so she is really that good.

    Josie is amazing!

    We loved working with Josie! She photographed our engagement shoot and our wedding, and she was so warm, fun, and thoughtful. We loved every single photo she took and are so grateful she was a part of our big day!

    Still using Josie a decade later!

    photographed my wedding over 10 years ago, and we still adore the photos! She captured such natural, in-the-moment shots and made the whole process easy and fun.

    We recently saw her in action again at my sister’s wedding, and the photos were absolutely stunning—especially of our family and kids. She’s incredibly talented, professional, and a joy to work with. Highly recommend!

    Josie is extremely talented and was incredibly authentic leading up to and during our wedding weekend. She honored all our wishes, I wouldn’t have had any other photographer!

    We changed our wedding date a few times due to lodging & venue accommodations as well as family/friend availability. Each time we made sure Josie was available to photograph our wedding because it was mandatory for us to have her as our photographer. She is a dear friend of ours but also very good at what she does. She is professional, experimental, and truly honors the vision of her couples. We have photos that we will treasure forever because of Josie and she approached each shot in various locations with excitement. We had a blast taking photos with her for our first look and during the wedding day. Her editing skills are remarkable and she sends the photos post wedding in a very timely manner. We love you, Josie! Carmine & Stephanie Terracciano

    Unique and talented

    Josie is the absolute best and most talented at her craft, I actually sought her out through stalking her work on instagram, I knew I wanted her to photograph my wedding from her style of work, what I didn’t know is how sweet and professional she’d be, she made me feel like we’d been friends forever and made me and my husband feel so comfortable in those awkward moments of posing ha. Too this day 6 years later people talk about how much they loved our wedding photos, Josie captured the love and energy from that day perfectly and I will forever be grateful for that. I highly highly recommend her to everyone!

    Fabulous photographer - 5/5 stars!

    Josie is an exceptionally talented photographer. She is skilled at taking and has an eye for both posed and candid photos, making each look absolutely natural. My husband and I could not be more pleased with our wedding photos.
    Your photographer is also the person you're going to spend the most time with at the wedding, so pick someone you like.... And you will LOVE Josie! She is kind, flexible, joyful, beautiful, personable, and has an infectious sense of humor!
    She also edited and returned our pictures much quicker than I anticipated, which was an added bonus because I was so antsy to see our photos!
    My husband and I truly could not have been happier with our choice in a photographer. Go with Josie if you want the perfect wedding photos for the right price!

    The best!

    Josie photographed my engagement photos and wedding. I couldn’t recommend her enough. She’s easy to work with, reliable, and had super quick turnaround times—which is always so important when you are patiently waiting for the most important photos of your life! If you are thinking about using Josie, don’t hesitate. She is the best!

    Incredible photos and great vibes!!

    We can’t say enough wonderful things about Josie. We flew her to Jackson Hole to photograph our wedding weekend and it was truly a blast to have her there. The photos are unbelievably beautiful and she did such a great job making us feel comfortable and confident. She fit in like a guest, was beyond professional and is so easy and fun to work with. We had our sneak preview super quick and photos within the promised time. We have so many amazing photos, we can’t even decide what to print. Josie is the absolute BEST!

    Best wedding photographer in Los Angeles

    I had a hard time finding a wedding photographer with a style I liked. When I saw her portfolio I knew she’d be perfect. From booking to the day she was quick to respond and put me at ease. Her direction for posed photos where great and grabbing the spontaneous moments throughout the night I was so happy I went with her. I still look over the photos all the time! THANKS JOSIE!
