Kind words from past clients

Kate & Brett

"Josh photographed our wedding in Big Sur and we could not be any happier with his work! He captured our magical day so perfectly, and was an absolute pleasure to work with. He made us feel so comfortable, and was extremely professional and friendly. He also shared sample images with us just a few days after our wedding, that were so perfect, I couldn't believe there was even more to come! We are so lucky that Josh was with us on our wedding day to capture the magic, love and special moments we felt so perfectly. Thank you, Josh!"

"I cannot recommend Josh enough! If you're looking for a photographer, stop now. He was fabulous to work with from beginning to end and his work speaks for itself - just stunning. He made everyone feel super comfortable so everyone looks natural and like themselves in our photos. He paid attention to the details and caught so many special moments without us even noticing. Somehow Josh was able to capture the spirit of the day in his photos - they all seem to radiate happiness. He's the best!"

"I would give more than 5 stars if I could. I hired Josh for my proposal at Post Ranch Inn in Big Sur, CA. From start to finish, he made me feel so comfortable. We had multiple phone calls leading up to the big day which made the day of go by so smoothly. His ability to capture the proposal moment but also my fiancé’s reaction to seeing her family surprise her was amazing. His work speaks for itself - I’ve already received several “how do we hire him for the wedding” messages. Thank you, Josh!"

Josh’s work speaks for itself, he’s incredibly talented and can make magic out of any location and vibe but Josh’s true (less obvious gift) is his incredibly peaceful energy! On a day that is typically full of a lot of stress Josh’s sense of calm is such a breath of fresh air and truly takes all the stress and pressure out of getting good photos. We had our wedding at a family member’s home and I was worried that since we didn’t have a traditional venue the photos wouldn’t feel special. That fear was totally unfounded as soon as we saw the photos from Josh. He managed to capture so many special moments unprompted that we truly cherish. Working with Josh you can rest assured that he will get incredible shots that feel natural and beautiful but absolutely glamorous enough to honor the importance of the day! Thank you Josh we love you and your work!

"Josh captured our wedding day at Glen Oaks Big Sur and we were completely in love with our photos! Josh made us feel so comfortable, was easy to work with, and his familiarity with the area allowed us to be photographed in the most beautiful parts of Big Sur!"

"We had the privilege of having Josh capture the most important day of our lives, and we couldn’t be happier with the results! From the moment we met Josh, we knew we had made the right choice for our wedding photography.

When we received our wedding photos, we were absolutely blown away! Josh’s talent as a photographer is truly exceptional. The photos were not just pictures; they were a collection of beautiful moments frozen in time. Each image was carefully composed, perfectly lit, and told a story. Josh has a remarkable ability to capture the essence of a moment, and it’s evident in every single photograph."

"We can't say enough about how awesome Josh is - as a person and as a photographer! He was so fun to work with from our initial call to the wedding day, and we couldn't have asked for a better person to capture these special memories. Everyone who sees our photos says they should be in a magazine; they are so high-quality, captured all the feelings of a beautiful day, and truly just blew our minds when we saw them. We highly, highly recommend Josh and are truly fortunate to have had him as a part of our big day!"

"We had the absolute pleasure of working with Josh for our wedding in Big Sur, and it was easily the best decision and money we spent for our wedding. From the moment we met him, he made us feel incredibly comfortable and it felt like we were working with a friend we've known forever. All-in-all, Josh is not just a talented photographer; he's an incredible person to have by your side on your wedding day. We are forever grateful for the memories he has helped us preserve, and we wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking for a photographer who goes above and beyond to make your day even more special. Thank you, Josh, for being a part of our journey and for the amazing work you do!"

Josh is the BEST photographer! If you have the opportunity to have him shoot your wedding, take it! First, he's the nicest, most pleasant person to be around and I promise your groom, wedding party, and families will appreciate him during the photography process. His editing style was what really sold me. Compared to all the other photographers in the area his was the only editing style that made sense to me. It was exactly what I wanted for my photos. I'm so happy with my wedding photos and so grateful for the experience he created. Cut corners else where if needed to invest in his work, you'll be so glad you did!!

LAuren & TOM

Josh was absolutely fabulous to work with for our Big Sur wedding last weekend. He was calm, kind, professional, and fun to be around. Our family and friends all enjoyed his presence on the day of and raved about the experience working with him. On top of being awesome to work with, we received our sample gallery almost immediately and the pictures are far beyond what we could have imagined. As someone who doesn't like being photographed, I was blown away at how beautiful our pictures are and can't stop looking at them. Josh listened to our vision for candid photos and lighting and absolutely nailed it. Josh made it look easy to photograph our logistically complex wedding and is a true professional. We are so happy we worked with Josh and highly recommend him to anyone wanting a great experience and beautiful wedding photos. YOU WANT TO WORK WITH JOSH!!

"Josh was exceptional in photographing our wedding day, and it was one of the best decisions we made! Having worked with him previously for our engagement shoot, we were confident in his abilities. Throughout the planning process, Josh was highly responsive and provided invaluable guidance on photo locations in the Carmel and Big Sur area. His expertise in lighting, angles, and timing was evident as he consistently delivered perfect shots. Josh’s direction helped us appear natural and relaxed in our photos. Josh worked seamlessly alongside our videographers and content creator throughout the wedding day to ensure all members captured amazing shots. We were delighted to receive stunning sample photos just a few days after the wedding, showcasing his exceptional editing skills. We will cherish these photos for a lifetime and are profoundly grateful for the way he captured our special day."
