Rather than deal with three different vendors for your photography, videography, and photo booth. Book it all through us and quit stressing about wedding planning.
Hudson Valley Local
Joshua lives full time in the Hudson Valley. It's definitely an advantage to have someone who knows the area all the best venues and

Weddings are more than pretty pictures of the couple and their pretty stuff. Joshua's portfolio is full of genuine candid moments, not a thousand photos of the dress hanging in the doorway
Joshua's Forest
Joshua owns a 9 acre forest in the Catskills (Andes), and you can use it for portraits, skip the whole wedding planning process and elope there, or just enjoy a camping weekend if that’s more your thing.
Low Key Approach
Joshua is from the South. He is unnervingly calm when the schedule goes off script. He’s fluent in both nervous bride and surly groom.
Speed
The days of waiting weeks or months for wedding photos are long gone. You will generally have your photos back within a week or two at most.
Experience
Joshua has worked as a wedding photographer for over 20 years. He knows where to look to find moments worth capturing. He knows how to deal with less-than-ideal light. He makes images for you, not his Instagram feed. He makes photos for your family will cherish for generations.
Timeless Images
Joshua’s post-production and composition techniques are timeless. He doesn’t need to use tricks or force you into never-ending poses. Your wedding isn’t his high school art project.

About Us
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.
Videography
Most of our clients hire us for photography and videography for their wedding. Here is one of our favorites from a wedding we shot in the Catskills
The Hudson Valley and Catskills are Home
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. When he’s not photographing weddings near waterfalls, evergreen forests, or old historic estates, he’s probably hiking around them with his family. In 2017, he bought a property in the Catskills with a beautiful trout stream and eloped there.
There’s a reason so many New Yorkers are choosing to skip the typical NYC wedding factories: drive (or train) a couple hours north and you’re in a whole other world, one that’s filled with stunning, unique wedding venues that are surrounded by some of the most gorgeous landscapes in the country. Celebrate your love and get a little peace and quiet for once. And getting back to real life in the city — if you want to — is just as easy.
