Joshua and his team are based in New York's Hudson Valley, about an hour north of NYC. We specialize in weddings, but also offer family portrait sessions, videography, and a photo booth that can be booked with or without a wedding package. Our new studio space in Newburgh can be rented out for tiny weddings, rehearsal dinners, and elopements.
We think you'll see something different when you browse through our portfolio: gorgeous moments from a diverse client list, hearty laughs and dad joke results, beautiful light and color, and timeless images that were shot 15 years ago next to ones that were shot last summer.What you won't see are many Martha Stewart-ready detail shots (though we'll shoot them at your wedding if you ask us to).
They don't really tell your entire story and we believe the industry has placed too much emphasis on them. We would much rather find a nice portrait of a wallflower than take our 75th shot of the cake. After surviving New York City for 9 years, Joshua moved upstate to the Hudson Valley in 2014 and hasn't regretted it for a second.

Weddings are more than your cake, flowers, dress, and shoes.
Weddings are about your people and enjoying your special day with them.
We'll do all we can to capture as many of them as possible with photography, videography, and even a photo booth or drone as our tools.
At the end of the day, you should have about 1000 amazing moments to look back on, not 500 photos of your dress hanging in the hallway.
Below are some of our favorite moments from weddings in the Hudson Valley and Catskills over the years.

We have two main options for the videos.
You can order one or the other or both.
The first and most popular is the short film.
We will bring a dedicated videographer to record all day, and at the end of it you end up with a beautiful 5-7 minute film like you see below.
We also have the option for the second photographer to record a few milestone moments from a tripod.
Usually the ceremony and speeches and maybe a few dances.

After witnessing hundreds of weddings at different scales and forming lots of opinions, Joshua and his wife decided to elope in the Catskills in 2017.
Luckily, this area is one of the most naturally beautiful locations on the planet, and he was able to buy a little 8 acre evergreen forest where the elopement took place.
You can go that route and plan something intimate for just the two of you, or invite a few close friends and family to enjoy it with you.
If you're looking for something more elevated, we offer customizable packages that include hiring a private chef, transportation to and from New York City, access to an officiant, hair and makeup at a world-class local salon, and/or a wedding planner to take care of all the details.
