I can’t recommend Heart First enough!!! Josh and his team were absolutely phenomenal on our wedding day.
My husband and I had the BEST time with Josh and CJ. They made us feel so ...
relaxed and they worked tirelessly all day and night to ensure they captured our special day. We even had guests come up to us to compliment how awesome they were.
My husband and I had our first meeting with Josh on the phone and we knew immediately we wanted to book him for our wedding photography and video. He was so warm and expressed a genuine interest in getting to know us both. He thoroughly answered all of our questions and was very transparent about cost, etc. The booking process was also very simple which made it so easy for us especially being that we don’t live locally.
I can confidently say that booking Heart First was one of the best decisions we made during the whole wedding planning process. 10/10 recommend!

uly are everything you and your fiancé will want them to be and more. They aren’t your basic wedding photographer with the same old poses and photos… they capture raw, real, emotions and put it into the most gorgeous content. No moment or detail was missed. I’m definitely picky about photos and my husband is also talented with videos so we wouldn’t brag this much if this crew didn’t absolutely blow us away. Heart First will officially be our go to photographer for all of our family’s needs. Okay now go book them before it’s too late!

uest loved the HF team and I was blown away with all the different pictures they got from the details, venue and reception. Also Josh was so flexible during our date changes with COVID and made our experience wonderful.
