About this vendor
Hey there.
My name is Joe, and I love getting to be a photographer.
I've been privileged to be chosen to document weddings and documentary projects around the world for over 11 years now.
I get to share in all of these rich experiences while documenting every detail. From the small details to the sharing of tears between the bride and her mom, the groom being embraced by his new family, or the reunion of friends who haven’t seen each other in years.
I’m an observer first, then a photographer.
I observe everything and photograph all those moments and events. From that, I craft a unique story from many different points of view and with earnest creative excellence. For me, one of the most important parts is sharing the day on a deep level with my clients. This is the crux of capturing a detailed and beautiful photo essay of two stories coming together.
I document everything with a photojournalistic approach and with strong, classically influenced portraiture to tell a complete story. I focus on the micro expression, but also the big details of time, place, and setting.
I stay far away from very posed images, but allow the portrait time of the day to be a free-flowing, enjoyable experience. My process for capturing portraits consists of gentle directing and conversation to make the experience comfortable, all the while making space for you and your partner to be comfortable enough to let those micro expressions show, and the love will read from the image stronger than anything.
My mission is to be a ready-to-help, positive force on the wedding day and provide you with images that you will cherish for the rest of your lives.
When you reach out, please include as many details about yourselves and your wedding plans. Really looking forward to connecting!
Bulger Creative Co. is a premier wedding photography company based in Kansas City, MO.

ion and was willing to change venues at the last minute. His turn around time is also extremely fast, which is so nice as you don’t have to wait for months and months to see your photos. We are so happy we picked Joe from Bulger Creative Co to be our photographer for our wedding. We will absolutely use his services again for another session if possible. Thanks Joe!

mories with strong attention to detail that we have grown to appreciate more and more as our marriage has gone on. We are so thankful that we hired them; they truly capture the joy of the moments with their work.
My favorite part about my wedding was our photos! Joe captured everything so beautiful, even in the middle of a little chaos occasionally. We did a destination wedding and I don’t ...
think they’re could have been a more flexible nor creative photographer for our wedding. He and his wife helped make us feel so natural and not posed even though we were full of nerves.
If you are looking for a photographer who captures your special moment in the most authentic way possible, then look no further! Joe was just incredible from start to end. He was e...
xtremely responsive, communicative, and very reasonably priced. He is an incredibly talented photographer and artist, and his mastery of the camera shines through in every one of his photographs. He captured our story so perfectly and elegantly, he is seriously gifted!! Our favorite aspect of Joe's style is his ability to capture the purest love between you and your partner, your loved ones, and friends; encapsulating your movements, thoughts, and feelings in a subtle and candid way. When we look back at the photos, we are instantly transported to the exact moment the photo was taken, which is just such a special keepsake and irreplaceable memory to have. In addition to capturing candid moments, Joe is equally talented with more formal poses and group photos. He knocked it out of the park and knew how to do so with no direction from us. We also had a blast having him at our event and taking photos with him. I just cannot say enough how thrilled we were to find him and how lucky we feel to have had him as our photographer. We highly recommend Joe and Bulger Creative Co. for your special event -- you will not be disappointed!
Made taking photos super fun, and the photos turned out perfect.

continue to look back at them for years to come. Joe did a great job making us both feel comfortable taking pictures.

He does an incredible job of capturing all the emotions of the day from tender interactions to moments of rambunctious laughter and celebration! We can’t thank you enough, Joe.

These guys made our wedding so special for us and we would recommend that everyone use them for their big day!

There aren't enough words to describe how incredible Joe was during the entire engagement and wedding process. From the moment we got in touch about during photography - he was so ...
great to work with and his sessions are so natural. He captured our best moments and at no point made it awkward. Being from abroad and having a reception there as well as in America, he even made the trip oversees to be a part of our full journey. A photographer that is that dedicated to his clients and produces the incredible work he does makes for one of the best. I would and have recommended him to all of my friends that are getting married and for anyone considering - he's worth every penny! Incredible photographer and an even better person.
Joe was great to work with. Very understanding and takes great photos! Recommend!
Joe is an amazing guy. The thing I was most impressed with is that he got to know my wife and I pretty well before our wedding. The wedding photos are not meant to be cookie cutter...

ork speaks for itself, but I can attest to his ability to make even the most awkward/photo-shy bride feel comfortable in front of the camera. My husband and I genuinely had fun with Joe and knew we made the right decision to hire him for our big day! Highly recommended!
Joe is a KILLER photographer. We had him take our engagement and wedding photos. We probably looked at 15 different wedding photographers before we found Joe and I am so glad that ...
we chose him. He was professional, personable, and he made us feel so comfortable. It was raining on my entire wedding day and Joe still took some of the most amazing pictures that I've ever seen in my life. He actually made me feel glad that it was raining because it made for such great pictures! Joe is a great guy and a great photographer. My husband and I are still stoked by the pictures!! Do yourself a solid favor and GO FOR JOE!
