Hi, I'm Joe. I was raised in Colorado and spent nearly two decades traveling the world in the U.S. Navy as an aircrewman. From early on in my naval career photography became one of my greatest passions and most fulfilling pursuits. I use my free time to hike/backpack and travel overseas as much as I'm able which means you'll never see me without a camera.

Is it possible to give more than 5 stars? It’s hard to express in words how amazing Joe is. He is so personable and it was truly a joy having him as our photographer. Posing for photos can often times be awkward but Joe made us feel comfortable to be our selves and he knew exactly how to capture the best moments of our big day.
Joe is so much more than just the photographer and was a rockstar in gathering everyone (more like herding cats) for pictures and getting the perfect shots. Joe felt like a second coordinator and was a huge part in keeping our flow of the wedding seamless.
Most importantly, Joe let us just be present in the moment. He was so efficient at getting all the right pictures that truly captured our wedding and we never felt like we had to miss out on anything -best day!
I cannot recommend Joe enough, we will always swoon over our photos from our wedding.

Joe was fantastic to work with. He went the extra mile to make sure our day was perfect. From helping the groomsmen with their ties to bringing streamers for an end-of-the-night photo it was very clear Joe was as committed to us and our day as we were. His photos speak for themselves but Joe offers so much more than that. We both felt completely comfortable with him and loved having him be a part of our special day. We would recommend Joe to anyone needing photographs and have nothing but good things to say about him. If you have the chance to book him—do it.

Joe is the best photographer you could ask for. He was so much more than just a photographer for our wedding day. He reached out before the big day to get to know me better and give me a better understanding of what to expect the entire day, he helped all of the boys with their boutonnieres, and he did a lot more coordinating than I could have ever expected. He kept me calm while also keeping us on our timeline. He was so much fun to work with and was a huge reason why our guests had a wonderful time. 5 months after the wedding, we still have people telling us about how great Joe was, and they hadn't even seen the finished pictures yet. Our portfolio is absolutely beautiful. I can go through my pictures every day and find something new I love each time. Joe really took the time to find what looked the most natural while also capturing me and my husband in the best light. We will always be able to look back on our wedding day and remember how special Joe made it for us and our families.

Joe is amazing and I cannot recommend him more highly! We spent a while looking through various portfolios, but Joe’s work stood out to us as the “vibe” we were looking for at our small, mountain wedding. Not only did the final photos come out absolutely stunning, but Joe went above and beyond to get us the shots we wanted while also suggesting new ideas and using the landscape around us- exactly how we’d hoped it would go! Even though my husband and I felt a little awkward being photographed and we had a very small ceremony/reception, Joe put us all at ease and captured many of the intimate moments that made the day special without ever being intrusive. He is kind, respectful, knowledgeable of his craft, and immensely talented; a true professional and joy to work with. Hire him, you won't regret it.

Joe was great! He was so much fun and captured some of our favorite shots of the day. He also got some fun candid shots of my husband and I, but also some of the guest couples from the reception which I thought was a a great idea so I could share with them too. So thankful and beyond happy with the results. Highly recommend!

We used Joe for our engagement and wedding photos and we’re not disappointed! Being able to have beautiful photos hung all over our house is absolutely amazing and I could not have asked for a better photographer to capture our day! Not only did our photos turn out amazing, Joe is so personable and fun to work with!

Joe was our wedding day photographer in Sept. 2021. I honestly could not recommend him enough. He not only did an absolutely amazing job on our photos, but he has such an amazing personality that made taking all the photos throughout the day even more enjoyable. If you are considering Joe to capture your big day, 10/10 recommend!!
