Hudson Valley Wedding Photographers

You are not content. In a world increasingly run by algorithms, authentic unposed photography is being replaced by the never-ending pursuit of likes and “engagement.” Almost all photographers have incredible cameras and Ai tools to make beautiful photographs for you. Not many of them can capture organic moments and storytelling images. We hope you’ll take a minute to browse through our galleries and get a sense of the type of images we feel tell a story.

Joshua’s top priority is capturing as many different faces as possible on your wedding day as unobtrusively and efficiently as he can. From the wallflowers and cute kids to the crazy uncles and old roommates. The images you get back should be warm and vibrant, but not overly processed. Fundamentally, Joshua believes the story of your love is the foundation of the day. While you will certainly be the center of attention, it is not entirely about you and your wedding photos should reflect that. 

The Hudson Valley is an unbelievably beautiful location to have a wedding, and you’re going to look great, but your photographer must have the skills to really capture the essence of your day beyond the most obvious. Joshua and his team are unmatched in their ability to capture unposed moments that will make you feel something as you look at them decades from now while telling a story through the expressions of your closest friends and family.

Our Favorite Weddings

We hope you’ll take a moment to browse through a few of our favorites and get a sense of what types of images we feel tell a full wedding story. You’ll see a few detail shots, you’ll see some posed photos requested by moms, and you’ll see some tears. We hope this gives you a better sense of the kinds of images we consistently produce in some of the top wedding locations in the Hudson Valley and Catskills.

The weddings above represent some of Joshua’s favorite couples in some of his most often photographed locations in the Hudson Valley. He is a preferred vendor at many of these venues and happy to share his experiences if you haven’t chosen one yet. If you’re still looking for a venue, check out our Hudson Valley wedding venue guide or give Joshua a call anytime.

About Joshua

Joshua stands in the glow of sunlight through surrounded by hanging moss and tropical leaves.

Joshua is a photographer and filmmaker with over 25 years of wedding experience, based in New York’s Hudson Valley.

He is a former photojournalist from Tennessee who brings an unobtrusive and calm demeanor to every wedding. Although he primarily works in the Hudson Valley now, he has shot weddings all over the globe. He is capable of shooting both photos and videos for you. He is passionate about his community in Newburgh and spends a lot of time hiking with his family and his rescue dogs Skillet and Gravy. He cares more about capturing genuine moments between you and your  friends and family than getting himself on another Pinterest board. He will never be an influencer and he is totally at peace with that.

Moments Over Content

Weddings are more than posed 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.

Timeless Images

Joshua’s post-production and composition techniques are timeless. He is not going to force you into never-ending poses. Your photos should not be dated by their postproduction style.
