We couldnāt have asked for a better wedding photographer than Joe! The photos are absolutely stunning ā truly the most beautiful pictures weāve ever seen. He captured every moment ...
perfectly and somehow managed to show exactly how amazing and full of love the day felt.
Joe made the whole experience completely stress-free. From start to finish, he was calm, professional, and so easy to be around. He suggested taking some sunset photos, and weāre so glad we did ā they turned out breathtaking!
What we loved most is how comfortable Joe made us feel. We were able to just be ourselves, and that really shines through in every shot. Weāll treasure these photos forever.
Highly, highly recommend Joe to anyone looking for a photographer whoās not only incredibly talented but also a joy to work with!

I was really hopeful they would be a great option for our engagement photos but so far the experience hasn't been good. From the beginning the communication was not done well, 1-2 ...
weeks between replies but did reply quickly when money was involved. In one message in The Knot I provided my phone number so we could talk more or I could get a reply faster. Immediately that night, I didn't get a verbal reply I got a payment request from cash app THEN a text later. After texting I did use Apple Pay because it's safer, and I wanted to lock in our date for engagement photos. They say reach out any time but they do not communicate effectively. I became concerned and wanted to cancel, to save money and to not deal with the uncertainty. Was told I wouldn't receive a refund of my deposit but they never mentioned a cancellation policy/non-refund when they asked for the deposit and nothing is listed on any of their profiles or main website. So we kept the session date, communication was again 1-2 weeks in between replies. First they're sick, then they're traveling, then they're ready to work but still no contract was sent my way and no desire to give concrete details of the photo session. I've been patient but patience only lasts so long. My fiance and I do not recommend using them for photos, from our experience it seems more like a scam to take money as deposits for the date and then bad communication.

We did have a slight hiccup when he had to ask us to reschedule due to something beyond his control, but Joe handled it with professionalism and flexibility. He was quick to offer alternate dates and truly made up for it by ensuring the process was seamless and stress-free.
The photos themselves are stunning! They perfectly captured our personalities and the excitement of this chapter. If you're looking for an engagement photographer who delivers beautiful work and is genuinely a pleasure to be around, look no further. Highly recommend!

re the essence of each moment is truly remarkable. He has a keen eye for detail and made us feel completely at ease in front of the camera. The resulting photos are stunning and perfectly encapsulate the joy of our Haldi celebration.
Jess, as our day-of coordinator, was equally exceptional. She organized everything seamlessly, allowing us to enjoy every moment without any stress. She was patient, reassuring, and attentive. Her attention to detail and calm demeanor kept everything on track.
Together, Joe and Jess make a fantastic team. Their passion for their work shines through in every aspect, from the beautiful photography to the flawless coordination. If you're looking for a dynamic duo to help make your wedding day unforgettable, look no further than Hatton Weddings!
