Photography was one of my top priorities when planning our wedding. I spent a lot of time researching and interviewing photographers and instantly felt comfortable talking to Joe. He made us feel comfortable in front of the camera too and was s...
o helpful in recommending locations for engagement and wedding photos. Our engagement photos are amazing but our wedding photos are UNREAL. We are absolutely blown away by the shots Joe and Ashley captured. They reflect our personalities so well and perfectly captured every detail of the day. I am so happy we will always have these memories to look back on. Joe and Ashley were so friendly, professional, helpful, and I truly cannot recommend Joe Banker Photography enough. If you are hesitant to spend the money on photography, remember it's one of the few things from your wedding day that you will have forever. And you won't regret Joe Banker Photography!
10 stars! You will not find a more dedicated team for your wedding day! The wedding arch snapped in 3 places minutes before the bride was to walk down the aisle. Joe and Ashley jumped right in and literally McGuyvered it back together using...
sticks and zip ties! Ashley then made the repairs disappear by adding extra flowers to the repair areas. They truly went above and beyond! And their photography is simply beautiful, too. We can't thank you enough for everything you did for Alex and Kim! 💜
Not only did our wedding pictures and video turn out better than we could have imagined, but working with Joe and Ashley was so natural (which says a lot coming from a couple who does not love posing for pictures). They captured our day and per...
sonalities perfectly. A guest came up to us and said, “your photographers were all over the dance floor- I can’t wait to see what they captured,” and sure enough the footage was unreal. I would highly recommend booking with Joe 🙂 and if you’re debating on doing only photo or photo and video, absolutely do both!!!
Any questions?
Joe and Ashley did our engagement and wedding photos and they did an amazing job!
The photos and video that they captured were exactly what we were looking for. Joe and Ashley did a great job making us feel like ourselves and working with us t...
o get great photos.
They worked with us taking our engagement photos in Washington DC and our Wedding photos in Cleveland. We had a variety of different environments and all of the photos were great. Joe was very detail oriented to make sure that all of the photos looked perfect.
The video that they put together really captured our wedding weekend and we are very glad they offered it as an option.
They did a great job with communication throughout.
We had a lot of items that we wanted to capture, and Joe and Ashley were able to listen and provide what we wanted, and also provide their expertise in capturing other moments.
They provided some stunning shots a couple days after the wedding and provided the wedding gallery on time following the wedding.
We highly recommend Joe and Ashley to anyone looking for a great photographer.
Joe & Ashley were amazing and such a pleasure to work with! From our engagement session in the FREEZING cold to our wedding day, we couldn't have imagined working with anyone else. Their work is amazing and their personalities are the cherry on...
top. I HIGHLY recommend working with them!
From our engagement photos to our wedding we loved all of them! My husband who hates having his photo taken enjoyed the process because joe and Ashley made it so easy and fun! Joe stayed in contact with me through the whole process and was able...
to answer any questions and give me advice regarding wedding day. We loved our wedding video so much and watch it all of the time. Would recommend to anyone 100%!
Absolutely Spectacular! That’s the only way to begin this review. Joe Banker Photography with his assistant Ashley could NOT have been a better choice for our wedding. From the first moments of contact with Joe, we were enthralled with his work...
. Joe was super personable and open to new ideas within the realm of wedding photography. They were easy to contact and work around schedules. Joe and Ashley traveled over 6 hours to provide their services. They were willing to involve our dogs (our fur babies) in the engagement session and focused on getting the best photos out of the session. They even waded into the water for better shots! Joe and Ashley made suggestions about lighting and weather to achieve the best possible service for just starting with our engagement photos.
On our wedding day, February 3, 2023, Joe and Ashley went even further above what we expected. Our wedding day was freezing cold with a heavy bitter wind. As a couple we wanted an outdoor winter wedding and Joe Banker Photography was prepared for it! Joe looped back and forth (bearing the cold wind) between the bridal party and groomsmen party to include everyone in the preparations. Ashley stayed with the bride and helped to gather any missing items for the day, along with keeping all the reaction shots a secret until we were ready for them. They went beyond their call of service to help the groom with his boutonniere and the bride with her veil. With the heavy wind, there was concern about hair getting ruined and the outdoor photos not looking perfect. They both made every possible effort to snap all the important photos before the weather could beat us.
Joe and Ashley were able to snap photos with natural reactions and made the nervousness of being photographed easier for the whole wedding party and guests. They took on the bitter cold wind and made sure to force the bride inside when she started to turn colors from being too cold. They were flexible about getting all the shots we wanted and shots we didn’t know we wanted. Joe and Ashley were extremely excited to experiment with specific locations and types of photos we wanted. They were excited and willing to try to take some photography shots that they had never done before! We HIGHLY recommend Joe Banker Photography and could not ask for a better service.
My husband and I are not super comfortable around the camera but Joe and Ashley made it feel effortless. We are so thankful to them for capturing our big day. They were professional, helpful, and got the best shots of our big day.
I can’t express how much I loved working with them! Absolutely amazing. Joe and Ashley made everything so fun and light! My husband and I aren’t photo people but Joe was able to capture the best pictures and the best moments of our day! He made...
us feel comfortable the whole time.
His work is absolutely beautiful.
Don’t look anywhere else! You need them for your wedding!
We got pictures and a video made. I’ve probably watch the video like 30 time already and I cry every time. It is absolutely perfect. Ashley is amazing with the video camera.
First off, we had a loud and opinionated group and they handled that better than most people could 😂 It was a long day but they didn’t miss a beat. Got all the pictures we wanted and then some. Amazing quality. They caught all the details. I r...
eceived back a TON of amazing pictures much quicker than I anticipated. They made the experience enjoyable for everyone.
It was an absolute pleasure working with Joe and Ashely. They are a great team. They gave us great instructions during our engagement session. Our photos turned out so beautifully and looked very natural/candid. We took our photos in the fall, ...
and the shots are perfectly framed by the beautiful leaves. I would highly recommend Joe for any of your picture needs.
Joe and Ashley were amazing! They traveled to Myrtle Beach to take our engagement photos for us and did an amazing job. They captured every moment of our wedding, and made our day perfect and stress free. They also made a fantastic highlight ...
video, that was absolutely amazing. Highly recommend Joe Banker Photography!
When we were planning our wedding, having a great photographer was one of the most important things to us and Joe did not disappoint! He and Ashley were so great to work with, they kept things flowing smoothly throughout the whole day. The phot...
os we received were amazing and we will cherish them forever!
They did an amazing job at our wedding, super efficient and the photos all came out incredible!
Joe and Ashley were an absolute pleasure to work with! Before our wedding Joe was always available to chat through ideas and answer all my questions. Ahead of the wedding, Joe and Ashley scouted out all beautiful locations near the wedding to e...
nsure we had beautiful pictures and we didn’t waste time looking for the “right spots”. I have a very large family and Joe and Ashley were able to make sure we got all the family portraits in a very tight timeframe. Our pictures and video came out beautiful and we would highly recommend Joe Banker for all your photo and video needs!
We worked with Joe Banker for our wedding in May 2022 and we’re so happy with the results! Joe did a really nice job with our engagement photos, and Joe and Ashley as a team captured our wedding day so well! They were easy to communicate with t...
hroughout the process, showed up on time for the wedding, and used a really convenient online portal for us to download and share our photos. We received over 800 photos from our wedding day and we love all of them!
Joe + Ashley were fantastic to work with! We couldn’t have chosen a better photographer for our wedding. We’re not used to getting professional photos done, but Joe + Ashley made us feel comfortable and kept everything running smoothly. They...
know what poses look good, and the pictures look amazing! It (sadly) rained on our wedding day, but they were prepared, brought umbrellas, and made the best out of it. Some of our favorite photos of the day were under that umbrella :). Joe’s also super fast and got our finished pictures back to us in less than a month. We couldn’t recommend them more, thanks again for helping make our day so great!!
Joe and Ashley did a fantastic job with our wedding pictures. We hired them for full coverage from the last minutes of getting ready to the end of the reception. Aside from the standard "wedding pictures" of family, bridal party, etc, my wife a...
nd I did not have much in the way of photo inspiration. We let them use their artistic liberty, and we adventured around the campus at our venue. The result was a gallery that is beautiful, diverse, and emotionally charged.
Not only do they deliver an incredible product, but Joe and Ashley are a pleasure themselves. The whole way they had an excited energy about taking photos that shows they have passion in addition to skills.
If you're on the fence about picking your photographer(s), you won't regret picking Joe Banker Photography!
Joe and Ashley were the best! Joe sent us some sneak peaks of our wedding photos and I am so happy about them. I cannot wait to see the rest. Joe and Ashley were able to capture the day and every big moment. We were able to trust them for guid...
ance on pictures and made all of it very easy to do (especially since my husband doesn't like getting his pictures taken). Joe and Ashley went with the flow throughout the day. They worked so well together and we are happy to have used them for our May 28th wedding!
Joe was absolutely incredible for our beach wedding on Hilton Head Island. So much fun to work with! We are pretty laid back and didn't have any specific pictures in mind so he just came up with creative fun shots to capture our special day. We...
got all our pictures back quicker than I expected and they are incredible. I can't say enough about his professionalism and skills. I highly recommend, thank you Joe!
Joe and Ashley did an amazing job on our wedding photos. We’ve gotten so many compliments and couldn’t be happier with our photographer/videographer selection. Thank you!
Made the process effortless and delivered a great product. Highly recommend.
Perfect photographer for our wedding. Grateful for the beautiful pictures and memories for a lifetime.
Joe and his crew were amazing! We got our pictures back very quickly...they were incredible. Joe worked with us to make sure we got exactly what we wanted. When there was a crisis (bridesmaid fainting) during portraits, he was so calm and patie...
nt. Nothing but amazing things to say about him. 10/10 recommend!
Joe and Ashley are the best!!!! Loved working with them on our big day. Both easy to work with and also helpful/quick to respond!! Would definitely recommend them.
Joe was so flexible and fun to work with! We love his easy going attitude and willingness to let go of the traditional wedding format. Thank you

Thank you so much for the review! We really enjoyed being a part of the special day with you, Heidi and your families!
Joe and Ashley were very professional and easy to work with. The creativity and artistry of the photographs he did were above what we expected. So grateful we contracted them for our Reception. You won't be disappointed!
Response from the Vendor on 12/14/2021
Thanks Sarah, we were so happy to be a part of the celebration!
Joe and Ashley were absolutely phenomenal on our wedding day! They captured every moment perfectly, and had a true eye for perfection. Ashley and Joe had so many detail oriented shots that stood out against other photos we have seen. They also ...
asked for our input on specific shots we wanted & made sure those were done at the right times (sunset photos, etc). They would get all the angles and make sure not a strand of hair was out of place! I would highly recommend Joe and Ashley for your wedding!
Joe and Ashley could not have been more incredible! From start to finish Joe was easy to contact and had many great ideas in terms of the schedule of the day and what shots to get. Joe's attention to detail did not go unnoticed and I don't thin...
k he missed a single shot the whole day/night! Joe and Ashley were so flexible and patient and went above and beyond to get the best pictures possible, not to mention did whatever they could to help me keep my dress clean while getting the shots or moving from spot to spot! They both could not have been better and I would recommend them to anyone I know! Truly fantastic!
Joe was awesome and captured a ton of great shots for our recent Hilton Head wedding! He was so easy to work with and we are very happy with our photos.
Response from the Vendor on 10/18/2021
Thank you, it was a perfect day on the beach! Ashley and I loved working with you & Todd!
Honestly, things with Joe couldn't have been better. He was the perfect balance of professional and relatable, a very easy guy to work with. His partner was a huge help as well and they make a great team. At no point did I feel like he was a...
ll about "the contract" and instead I could tell he was about getting what he needed to put together a great shot. And it showed! I'm definitely going to be biased, but I think my wife and I received the absolute best wedding shots compared to so many other's I've seen. Joe has a great eye for the perfect candid shot, his editing is simple but effective and everything he does complements the final product. Go with Joe.
Joe is a great choice if you are looking for a wedding photographer! We first saw his website portfolio and based on the pictures we saw, we knew we wanted him to shoot our wedding. His pictures stood out to us because they are sharp without be...
ing overly touched up using too many filters making them look almost fake! On top of his ability to take great photos, we really appreciated that he was really easy to get along with and flexible around our schedule and with what we wanted to do for the wedding and engagement photos. It was clear he cares about his work and it shows in his pictures. He even caught a bad case of poison ivy marching through a field trying to get the perfect angle for our engagement photos! You really can’t go wrong with Joe. You’ll love your pictures and enjoy your time working with him!
Joe and Ashley were absolutely amazing. I cannot get over how beautiful our pictures turned out. Joe will do anything to get the perfect shot for you, he even stood in the middle of the street stopping traffic for what turned out to be my favor...

I can not recommend Joe & Ashley enough! They captured our day beautifully and were soo helpful (Ashley fixed my shoe when it broke 15 minutes before the ceremony). The pictures were beautifully edited, and we got them back within a month of ou...

Wish I could give them more than 5 stars!!!
Greatly enjoyed working with Joe. He explained his schedule and plans for the big day clearly, was great at organizing poses as well as capturing natural moments as they happened from the first look to the reception, and put up with our constan...
t requests for group photos toward the end of the night. Got our photos back to us in the time he estimated. Joe was professional and friendly, and I'd recommend him to anyone.

Thanks David! I had a great time working with you and Sarah!
Joe (and Ashley!) were a pleasure to work with on our wedding day. The photos turned out stunning, with a natural feel. We were provided a very nice variety of documentary-style images, nice candids, and family/bridal portraits. Joe gave us id...
eas for photo locations but also was open to where we were inspired by. As a person who would NEVER claim to be photogenic, Joe guided us with great direction to get the shots we needed. Ashley thought of the smallest but important details with all our jewelry, shoes, veil, and DIY decorations. Do not hesitate to hire Joe and Ashley.
Joe was amazing! This was our first time hiring a photographer and he was more than accommodating! We enjoyed our session and never felt nervous or uncomfortable. We appreciate joe for making our first experience with a photographer a memorable...

Amazing to work with - due to Covid we changed our date and then 3 weeks before changed our venue and he never blinked! Very easy to communicate with via text/email. Great photographs and despite the fact it rained our whole reception he did a ...
great job improvising and capturing awesome memories!
Joe & Ashley did an absolutely amazing job with our wedding photos. Communication was great throughout our engagement that was extended due to Covid-19. The day was captured incredibly in our posed photos, but oh my gosh the candid photos were ...
so much more than I could have expected. They really know how to capture the whole scene, and we are so happy (obsessed) with how they all turned out.
I would highly recommend Joe to anyone looking for a photographer! Joe and one other member of his team shot our wedding day photos, and they came out wonderfully. We've ordered numerous prints and calendar from Joe's photos as gifts for family...
members as well, and all have been great quality!
Joe was able to direct us for poses while also taking in any and all input that we had. He was kind, communicative, and helpful throughout the process. He's extremely reasonably priced, and even brought an extra member of his team to help capture our day because of how the timing worked out. If you want a friendly, prompt-responding, and helpful photographer for your day, I can't recommend Joe enough!

Thanks Lauren! Ashley and I had a great time with you and Kyle!
Joe Banker came recommended to us from another friend, and bride, who had used Joe for her wedding. He was super easy to work with, as we communicated primarily over email and through digital programs (contract, payment, setup). He was so accom...
modating to work with, as our wedding plans took a bit to come together due to the stress of covid. And he was even more understanding when we were re-planning the week before our wedding day for a different location altogether, in the unpredictable climate of Cleveland. Joe got all the shots we cared about and braved the 40 degree windy weather to get amazing lake-side pictures of us, too, along with the friends and family members we invited to join us for our intimate ceremony. Joe was efficient, easy-going, and a true joy to have there to capture our day. Joe was so quick to turn around our picture gallery and edits, even after sharing some sneak peeks, just in time for Christmas. He got great live photos from the ceremony, group shots and candids. We can't recommend him enough and pray he'll be available to capture more pictures and memories when we have a post-covid celebration, when we're safely able to dance, drink and hug the rest of our friends and family. Thank you, Joe!!
Could not have asked for a better photographer! Communication was so easy with joe; he was always prompt with responses and accommodating to everything we needed. Our engagement pictures turned out so awesome and our wedding was even better. We...
appreciated that he gave us a discount for my husband being a police officer. Joe is so easy to talk to and work with; it was such a pleasure working with him and I will forever recommend him as a photographer!
Joe took our proposal pictures and did an incredible job! He has a speical eye and captured the whole moment perfectly. You couldn't ask for a better photographer to picture all your special moments!
I cannot begin to thank Joe Banker for this amazing work! My pictures turned out amazing! He was so easy to work with and made our day a breeze. His assistant Ashley was great! She knew what little details mattered and captured amazing pictures...
. They worked amazing together! We will cherish these pictures forever! I look forward to my friends getting married so I can recommend Joe! 10/10 would book him again!
Talk about a diamond in the rough! Joe was absolutely amazing! He is very professional while still very down to earth. He was also very flexible as we downsized our wedding to a micro wedding. We planned our wedding in Ohio from California, so ...
I was crossing my fingers that we made the right choice since we didn't actually meet Joe until the week of the wedding. My husband and I had also never done any professional photos together, but Joe and Ashley made everything go seamlessly on the big day. I loved that he sent us a handful of photos the next day and we even had our photos back 5 days after the wedding! I am beyond happy with our photos and our family cannot stop talking about how talented Joe is! You will not regret this choice!
Joe was amazing! He was so flexible and accommodating through the craziness of COVID. He ended up shooting two events for us — our small ceremony with family and our larger ceremony — and did a wonderful job at both. We are so grateful for all ...
of the photos. They turned out beautifully and will be something we cherish forever. So many of our friends and family have commented on how amazing Joe did — and we couldn’t agree more! Highly recommend Joe!!
Joe and Ashley are absolutely the best photographers and we are so happy we hired them for our wedding! My husband and I received so many compliments on our engagement pictures, so we knew we made the right decision to hire Joe for our wedding ...
day. Joe made everything easy and seamless for us, so we felt very comfortable. We received multiple comments from our wedding guests and family on how extremely professional Joe and Ashley were for our wedding. We had many wonderful vendors for our wedding, but Joe and Ashley were by far our favorite! Joe immediately sent us some pictures the day after our wedding and they are breathtaking! We have had multiple family and friends tell us they have never seen such amazing wedding pictures before. Joe and Ashley are amazing artists and true professionals at their craft. We cannot wait to recommend them to all of our family and friends for future weddings!! If you are contemplating hiring Joe and Ashley for your wedding, just book with them immediately. It really will be the best decision to hire them as your wedding photographers, and you will be so happy you did!
Joe Banker is a professional, talented photographer. His calm demeanor can put even the most camera-shy client at ease. We received our photos quickly, and in a format that was easily accessible. Most importantly we are THRILLED with the pho...

Joe was so amazing to work with! I hired him for a small wedding with just our family and told him our main focus would be family pictures and he went above and beyond what we all expected! We have so many great moments caught on camera because...
of him. So many fun candids and amazing staged photos. We really wanted to just have family pictures to look back on and we got so much more when we hired him. He knows what he’s doing and exactly every moment you’d want to have photographed.
Honestly deserves more stars than are offered. When we cancelled our wedding due to covid and decided to elope he offered to still do our photography! All of the pictures turned out amazing! Thank you Joe!
Joe did our engagement and wedding pictures. Couldn’t have picked anyone better. My husband and I are both very shy, awkward people in front of the camera, but Joe made the experience very fun and comfortable for us. Great prices, even better p...

D CALL HIM NOW!
Well, if you can give a photographer 5 stars during a pandemic wedding....you know he’s doing something right.
I literally had the most INSANE wedding imaginable. We held our wedding 2 days before Ohio went into shut down mode and it showed. T...
hings were turned upside down left and right. A change in officiant, a change in DJ, folks not coming due to the virus (we understood!), a little human puking and passing out in my reception with the EMS visiting twice.....it was lit, y’all.
But Joe captured nothing but grace. Our wedding ended up being incredible even with all the “hiccups”. I felt beautiful but he showed I looked it, too. And the pictures of my husband with his groomsmen are some of my favorite pictures.
If you’re looking for someone who can handle their business even under extreme circumstance AND turn your big day into capturable Magic....look no further.
Joe & his girlfriend take absolutely beautiful photos while making everyone feel totally relaxed! We knew we had to have them as our wedding photographers once we saw their work. I came across Joe Banker Photography somehow on Instagram and fel...
l in love with their style. They certainly didn't disappoint, they are so much more than wedding photographers. They blended right in with our family!
Joe and Ashley were fantastic! The pictures are amazing, and they were lovely to work with! We got a great variety of photos for both the portraits and the ceremony/reception. They are all beautiful! They had so many ideas we never would have t...
hought of! We did our engagement photos with Joe, as well. It was such a fun and relaxed session, and we knew we were in great hands for our wedding day! They are both great professionals and super friendly, so it kept our day low-stress and fun! It seems like they truly love what they do, and it shows in their work and attitude!
Joe Banker did a fantastic job as our wedding photographer! He charged a fair price, was great about responding to emails, gave helpful advice, and was the consummate professional. He and his assistant Ashley got so many great shots of the da...
y and every time my wife and I look at the photos we find a new favorite. Shooting an outdoor wedding with rapidly changing light takes a lot of technical know how and Joe did this perfectly. We highly recommend using Joe Banker as your wedding photographer!
Unbelievable experience. Very knowledgeable and very easy to work with. He has a great vision and suggested a lot of great moments/details that we never even considered capturing. Highly recommend.
Joe and his assistant were very attentive from start to finish. They also captured exceptional moments!
Joe was the perfect photographer for our winter wedding. He guided us into attractive poses with ease and captured stunning photos that we will cherish forever. He as very personable and gave us great recommendations for venues for pictures in ...

Covid bride and groom scrambling to replan our wedding in a month, in comes Joe! He was amazing to work with! With all the stress on us we never had to worry about this amazing photographer! He was so responsive leading up to the wedding, an...
d was there the day of when he said he would be. During the ceremony he was a ninja I didn’t even know where he was and for family photos and our couples photos he took charge but was open to what we were thinking. He took so many amazing photos we can’t even pick a favorite! I really can’t say enough nice things about Joe, he was truly amazing!
Joe was nothing short of amazing, he was so fun and easy to work with! This was the first time my husband and I had ever had any sort of professional pictures taken and he made everything come so naturally, we are so thankful to have found him!...
If I could give him more than five stars, I would!
Words can’t even begin to describe how thankful we are for Joe Banker and our decision to use him as our photographer for both our engagement photos and our wedding photos. Not only did Joe highlight all of the key moments throughout our weddin...
g day, he also was able to capture important details and behind the scenes shots that were the essence of the entire day. We were so impressed with how our photos turned out, we wanted to share the entire gallery with everyone we knew, or at least everyone who was there with us that night. Joe was professional, on time, and diligent, but also relaxed and incredibly easy to work with. He also did a great job managing our somewhat larger (16 people) bridal party to help keep us all on schedule. Joe gave us the gift of an amazing gallery. I know that years from now when I want to look back on our wedding day I’ll be transported back in time to that day thanks to Joe’s photos and the authenticity that I can feel by looking at them. If you’re still looking for a photographer, look no further. Joe’s the man.
Joe Photographed my wedding. We had the best time with him! Joe is extremely prolific and proficient as a photographer. He is fearless and has an exceptional eye for photography. As clergy myself I have helped plan a number of weddings; I k...
now that photographers have to capture a delicate moment in a very sacred context. Joe got the shots without being a distraction and helped preserve this moment for generations for my family. I am very grateful. Thanks Joe! 📷📸📸
Joe was awesome to work with from engagement photos all the way to after the wedding. He was flexible in doing engagement pictures in our hometown of Columbus, OH visiting Ohio State's campus as well as downtown (our wedding was in Cleveland b...
ut we wanted engagement pics in Columbus). The day of our wedding was the hottest weekend in Cleveland of 2019 and both our ceremony and reception site had very limited air conditioning....we were all pretty hot, but Joe remained professional throughout the entire day. He was able to keep a 20 person wedding party plus family on track and stayed well into the dancing portion of the reception. Our pictures have turned out beautifully and we have gotten countless compliments on them. Joe really captured the grandeur of the Cleveland Arcade as well as special close up moments with his candid shots. We highly recommend Joe as a very down to earth and talented photographer!
Wonderful photos great composition great editing and attention to detail. Joe Banker captures every laugh and happy tear, we are so happy and thankful for our photos - and he worked with our budget. He does a phenomenal job and I recommend him ...
110%
Joe is an incredible photographer! My fiancé and I had a blast getting our engagement pictures taken. Neither of us had ever done a photo shoot and were a little nervous going into it. Joe made it so easy and fun! He came up with the best poses...
and captured everything we would’ve wanted— and more! His laid back attitude took the stress off us. When I got the pictures back I nearly cried! He made us look amazing and gladly incorporated our goofiness into the shoot. We seriously could not be any happier. I would recommend Joe to anyone looking for a photographer. We are so thankful for all he’s done and for capturing our love in his images. We can’t wait to share these pictures with our friends and family soon!
Joe did both our engagement and wedding photos and we really enjoyed working with him. We were looking at a few photographers, but we really liked how classic and timeless his portfolio was. I also really liked the mixture of traditional shots...
with more unique ones. He’s super down to earth and easy to work with, as well as creative and detail oriented. Joe was great at communicating and made each step of the process super easy. I also really appreciated that he sent me some sneak peeks the day after- it was thoughtful touch. He went above and beyond on both occasions and we would definitely recommend him to couples looking for wedding photographers!
Our wedding day was beautifully captured thanks to joe. He was amazing from start to finish. It rained. He has contingency plans in place. We couldn’t have picked a more perfect photographer!
It is pretty hard to describe just how incredible Joe is as a photographer!! We couldn't be happier with all of our photos from him! We booked him for our engagement pictures as well as our wedding photos. It was great to get to meet him during...
the engagement shoot, see how he works, and just build a level of comfort with him before the big day. He is an excellent balance of being able to command a situation so you can get certain poses and people in the right spots, but also calm, relaxing, and goes with the flow. I definitely did not have to worry about how wedding day pictures would turn out, which was great to have one less thing to stress about. Joe managed to capture so many incredible moments throughout our wedding day. We had met a couple days prior to go over a timeline and some of the pictures we wanted, which was great to touch base. Day of, he arrived and went to work. My sister could not stop raving about how good Joe was and how she wished she had had him for her wedding photographer. My parents were also so happy, and my dad could not stop complimenting how efficient Joe was as well. He was able to get all of the pictures we wanted and we didn't have to worry about being pulled away from our guests for long. It was the best of both worlds (amazing and all of the pictures, and still so much time to enjoy our guests and the day). Joe also knows so many great spots to go for pictures, which was really helpful since we don't live where we had our wedding and weren't the most familiar with the area. Another amazing thing about Joe is how quickly he got our pictures to us. We got a few previews 3 days after our wedding, while we were on our honeymoon, which was so exciting to see, and within two weeks after that we had all of our pictures!! We were BLOWN AWAY when we saw them! They were all so incredibly stunning and so many beautiful and precious moments were captured from every moment of the day. Joe truly has an incredible eye for getting all of the little moments and emotions, and stunning angles. We cannot rave enough about how happy we are with the photos Joe took! We absolutely, 100% recommend him to all brides and grooms out there and you will not be sorry! Our day was forever captured in the most amazing way and we cannot say thank you enough Joe!!!
I cannot say enough about how grateful my husband and I are for Joe Banker Photography! He is so incredibly talented. Joe’s eye for both artistic and posed shots is impeccable and unique. Additionally, Joe has a great personality and is very ki...
nd, pleasant, and easy-going. His fees are very reasonable. The treasured memories of our wedding are beautifully captured for us, and that’s all thanks to Joe!
Working with Joe was an amazing experience. He was very easy to work with, very personable and was eager to make sure we got the shots we wanted on our special day. Living in Florida and having to set up a lot of things via email or phone call,...
Joe always was willing to work with us. The end products are amazing, definitely would recommend him to anybody who needs a photographer. Glad we had the opportunity to work with him!!!
Joe was amazing! We love our pictures and will cherish them forever. We highly recommend his business. He was professional, aware of everything going on so that he could get pictures of every memorable moment, and accommodating! It was the hott...
est weekend of the year, and Joe made quick and beautiful work of the outdoor and church (with no AC!) pictures since we quite frankly were melting. He is also very quick to get your pictures to you which is very much appreciated. We would choose Joe again and again! Thank you, Joe!
Joe came to our house for an engagement photo shoot and he did an amazing job. The highlights of the shoot (other than spending quality time with Mike) was observing Joe’s thought process as he guided us to well lit locations, gave open ended m...
ovement suggestions to us, and captured some really magical moments. Joe really knows what he is doing and was enthusiastic about trying new and unique concepts, locations, props, and angles. We couldn’t be happier with how we felt during the shoot and with the final pictures, which were shared with us at lightening speed.
JOE IS AMAZING! I planned my wedding from across the country and we didn't spend a ton of time meeting with photographers, and by that I mean his portfolio sold me and when we met over coffee once his confidence was comforting. He truly loves w...
hat he does and that passion made our wedding day so much fun. We never felt rushed or displeased. We also had a second photographer who worked so well with Joe.
We have gotten a few sneak peaks already and I'm amazed. Joe wanted to try some new shots with his water proof lens and it was so cool! He knew where to take us in Cleveland to maximize our time and great shots. We can't wait to see the rest! He has a very quick turn around for photos because he takes his job very seriously. So professional and personal! Thank you Joe!
We were immediately able to tell that Joe has a true passion for this job, and it showed through in his service and in the quality of his photography. Prior to the event, Joe went out of his way to meet with us and carefully go through our time...
line, provide suggestions, and answer all of our questions. Throughout the day, Joe and his second shooter were attentive without being intrusive. Unfortunately the weather did not cooperate with us, but Joe did his best to quickly problem solve and get in as many pictures as possible. He captured the most meaningful moments and got some fantastic candid shots during the reception. We received our wedding pictures within the timeframe that was promised, and we had the best time reliving our day through Joe’s work.
We love our wedding pictures so much! Would definitely recommend Joe. He is super easy to work with and very nice! We loved our locations of our pictures which were recommended by him.
They did a great job!!!! We hired two photographers for the entire wedding day and it was great! We even went to our farm that was about half an hour away from the ceremony and reception venue, which went very well! I really do my research and ...
his prices were the best for two photographers, all day in this area! We got the pictures back in a very timely manner and we absolutely love the way they turned out!
Joe did a great job with our wedding photos. He was very professional and knew of great spots to take our pictures between our ceremony and reception. I am very happy with how our photos turned out!
Joe was incredibly professional and helpful throughout the entire process. Our pictures were everything we could have hoped for and then some. 10/10. Would hire again
Joe was awesome! He was extremely accommodating and so helpful. We were planning everything from out of town which is already difficult to begin with so it was great to have someone who could make the process easier! Our photos turned out amazi...
ng, I couldn't have been happier! We wanted a style that wasn't so posed, more fluid and in the moment photographs and Joe was able to capture that!
Really captured the moment and made the venue look beautiful!! Great to work with!
I just got married recently and Joe did an amazing job on our pictures, for both wedding and engagement. He had great ideas for the pictures and they came out great.
Joe Banker is a truly exceptional photographer! My wife (Cassandra) and I were incredibly impressed with the quality of the photographs and the attention to detail throughout the entire process. Joe was extremely helpful in coordinating our iti...
nerary throughout our special day. Although our wedding venue was at the National Aviary in Pittsburgh, and was located a fair distance from Joe, he was extremely accommodating and punctual on the wedding day. We decided to do a "First look" in multiple locations in Pittsburgh, and Joe really captured some wonderful authentic shots. We could not be more delighted with the pictures from the actual wedding ceremony and the reception. These are truly pictures that we will treasure our entire lives. He made our wedding day truly spectacular, and I would highly recommend him to anyone who is seeking a photographer for any special occasion. Keep up the incredible work Joe!!
We had our wedding in September and couldn't have asked for a better photographer! Joe has a great personality and was really easy to communicate with throughout the wedding planning process. He made sure our big day was special and with how he...
ctic the wedding day can be for the bride and groom he was able to slow it down to take some really beautiful photos of us and our family and friends. My wife and I haven't stopped looking at our pictures and I hope everyone will give Joe an opportunity to capture their big day, You won't regret it! Thank you Joe Banker for capturing our wedding and giving us beautiful memories to have forever and to be able to share with people who couldn't be there!
Joe did such an amazing job with our wedding photography. He was on time, easy to work with and a calming presence even when the weather turned for the worse. He worked great with his second shooter and my two videographers to let everyone get ...
the best shot at the best time. He has a great eye for creative shots and was open to whatever ideas we had in the pre-planning. I think he understood what my husband and I were looking for in our photos and executed it perfectly!
Joe did an incredible job photographing my wedding! He was awesome to work with and goes above and beyond. He even took our engagement pictures in a freezing snowfall when he probably couldn’t even feel his fingers and the photos turned out gre...
at! He is laid back but will ensure that everything stays on track. He is fantastic at capturing the all the fun moments. I would highly recommend Joe and could not be happier with his work!
Joe did a fantastic job with helping me pick out the best day/time/place to have our engagement picture session! He got a lot of great shots for just being with him for 30 minutes and I was so pleased when he got them to me edited within 24 hou...
rs. Cannot wait to work with him and see our pictures from our actual wedding day.
Joe also shot our wedding. He is very easy to work with - calm ad professional. He came up with many interesting shots - candid and posed. Joe also got us our wedding pictures back within 2 weeks! My only disappointment is that he didn't check off the list with out "must have" photos on it and therefore, there are several pictures we wanted but didn't get. Overall, I would recommend.
Joe was absolutely AMAZING to work with! We literally couldn’t have asked for a better photographer! He’s a really great guy who genuinely loves what he does and it definitely shows! We had such a great time with him on our wedding day, and we ...
were amazed with our photos! They were everything we could have hoped for and more! If you’re thinking of booking Joe as your photographer, do it!!! You won’t be disappointed!!!
Thank you so much for everything Joe!
Joe is a great photographer! I absolutely love my pictures. He fit in perfectly with my friends and family and was able to get to my venue in the middle of the woods with no problem (despite the weather). It only took about a week to get the c-...

Joe was excellent! He was professional and friendly. He took awesome shots of me and my groomsmen prior to the wedding while we were getting ready. I am very happy with the quality of our wedding pictures. They truly are very good. Along with b...

Joe shot our daytime wedding in April 2018. He was great to work with and very flexible with our early day schedule. We love the pictures and get tons of compliments on the artistic look a lot of the photos have. Would definitely recommend!
Joe Banker Photography took picture for my friends wedding. He was well prepared, and ready to capture every important detail/moment of the wedding. During the reception he was communicating the whole night with the venue, and the DJ. Joe was ...
amazing, he will be doing my wedding photos. I will refer him to ALL of my friends and family for any occasion. Thank you Joe for the fantastic job on the wedding.
Joe was very laidback and easy to work with. He made us comfortable from our first meeting with him, and our pictures day-of were a great experience as well. He made it a very relaxed experience and met our time schedule to ensure we could stay...
on track all day. We also just got our photos back (after only 2 weeks, which was great!) and they turned out absolutely beautiful. Joe has a great eye and comes up with spontaneous, artistic shot ideas that worked out so nicely. The photos are also very crisp and clear with gorgeously bold colors. Overall, it was a great experience!
Joe was incredible! He was very calm cool and collected from beginning until end. He traveled off site where myself and bridesmaids were getting ready and met us at the venue. We didn't have many photo ideas planned for the big day but Joe was ...
creative and found ways to incorporate our beautiful venue in a near perfect way. I even got to see a few photos the next day and they were gorgeous!!! I'm so happy we booked with him!
Joe is the BEST! He shot our wedding at Happy Days Lodge in Peninsula, Ohio in January 2018 and the shots are absolutely perfect- there are so many great pictures to choose from. He thoroughly documented the best day of our lives! I would recom...
mend him to ANYONE! Seriously, this is super late, but i give credit where it's (over)due. LOL He is really easy to work with and made us feel so comfortable. If you are interested, check out my FB and look at my wedding album. He's amazing! Thanks, Joe :) We are so happy!!

After attending a college course in photography with my now fiancée 11yrs ago, I quickly realized that photography was what I truly wanted to do with my life. I then opted out of my biology major and went after my dream. Since then I've had the opportunity to travel the country, work with the best photographers in Ohio and run my own successful photography business! When I'm not doing anything photography related, I enjoy walleye fishing on Lake Erie, attending sporting events, traveling to the Lowcountry, and spending time at home with my fiancée & and our five rescue cats!
