MY NAME IS JOSH, AND I'M A DOCUMENTARY WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER.

I'll step in and give direction when it's needed for portraits or family pictures, but otherwise I am there to capture your day authentically. I settle in to the space with you and react to the wide range of emotions & energy throughout the day. It's entirely up to you how much time is spent on formal photos, but I do my best to make that time low-stress and efficient--so you can get back to being with your favorite people to celebrate. I firmly believe the images in my portfolio are only possible because of the foundation laid by this approach. I pride myself on being flexible and a balance to, rather than the source of, any stresses along the way.


The majority of what I deliver will be candid photos, but I will always sprinkle in some creative portraiture throughout the day. Everybody has a different story to tell, and for me that is an exciting challenge to meet. Whether you have a 200 guest, ski resort extravaganza, or you and your 25 favorite people in your backyard, my approach is the same: respond genuinely to the energy of the people & the day, and help keep folks at ease to do my best documentary style coverage.
