Hi, I'm Joe.
The guy behind the camera, this family & this website. If you're here, then you probably have just got engaged. If so, CONGRATULATIONS & WELCOME! I appreciate you stopping by.
Rather than me telling you about how I was born with a camera in my hand like everyone else seems to, how about I tell you what my clients have told me about why they hired me instead?
They were looking for something different from the norm. Someone with a unique artistic style. Someone who prefers to avoid the cheesy, contrived & clichéd poses seen on many wedding websites & blogs.
They wanted someone with a candid, documentary style who could blend in with the background & capture real, authentic moments & emotions unobtrusively.
They were maybe a bit uncomfortable in front of the camera & wanted a photographer they could trust to help them to just relax & look their best for their portraits.
They wanted someone with experience who they could count on as a friendly, calming presence to be by their side and have their back on the most important day of their life.
If that person sounds a bit like you, then please get in touch. I'd love to be there for you on your wedding day too.
Cheers & good luck with all the planning!
