With only a months notice for booking, Joe exceeded expectations beyond belief! My husband and I were a little nervous about taking photos but he made the experience very easy, relaxed and very enjoyable! His kindness and positivity was a welcome addition to our evening. We love the photos and will cherish them forever. Thank you Joe for everything!

He is the best photographer I could have hired for my special day. I booked him 12-14 hours before my event and he was amazing. I got lucky that I found him. He is extremely professional and he even showed me some samples of my pictures a couple of hours after my event. I already love them. Joe was there before time and stayed extra even though it was freezing.

I cannot say enough good things about working with Joe. Before the event he was great at communication, fast response to requests and a very fair payment price and policy.

Joe was fantastic! My fiancé and I felt super comfortable from the moment we started the shoot. I’m newer to the area and Joe had great recommendations right away for where some nice outdoorsy shots could be taken. He’s super personable and I couldn’t be happier with the photos we got back.

Joe did an amazing job at my engagement! Not only was he accommodating and responsive throughout the days leading up to the day, but the day before he followed up with me to make sure we were a go! He was super nice and conversational, and we had an amazing photoshoot after the proposal, really helpful with getting a good pose set up. He really made that special day even better, 10/10 would definitely recommend him!

This is our second time working with Joe and he’s done an incredible job both times! He makes us both feel so comfortable in front of the camera that we know the pictures are going to turn out beautiful. Love that he gives us all the pictures back instead of just a handful. Highly highly recommend!!!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Joe and Jess for my wedding, and I cannot recommend them highly enough! Joe is an incredibly talented photographer. His ability to capture 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!

We cannot say enough about how much we LOVE the photographs that Joe took - it’s hard to stop looking through the finished images and cannot WAIT to get them on our walls!

THANK YOU JOE!

We absolutely LOVED our session with Joe. Last minute we decided to get family photos done and we were fortunate Joe had an opening. We were nervous about our young toddler behaving but Joe assured us it would all work out. He was right! Jess, Joe’s wife, joined to assist with the session and she was a huge help throughout the whole process. Joe and Jess made us feel so special and it shows through the photos. We love our photos and can’t recommend them enough!

Choose Hatton Weddings! Joe is so professional and timely! I immediately felt assured as soon as I was in contact with him. Katie, a photographer for his brand, took the photos on our wedding day and Joe edited. They are AMAZING! Very great work for a reasonable price! Katie even texted on the morning of the wedding and asked if I needed her to grab anything, how thoughtful! Choose Hatton Weddings, you won’t be sorry! I’d give 6 stars if I could!

Joe completely MADE our wedding day! We received countless compliments on his knowledge, professionalism, and overall wonderful personality. He was clear on where he needed us and did one step further by explaining the why behind his shots, which was super fun for us. He made us feel completely comfortable and not as if anything was a forced shot. He captured all the joy of our day, and we could not recommend him more!

We booked Joe/Hatton Photography last minute for our family vacation photos. He was quick to respond, fast return of pics, communicated great, flexible, accommodating and most of all super friendly! He made the time fly by and made sure everyone was completely satisfied before the session ended! He was extremely good with the kids and made sure to catch the most amazing smiles!! We are so glad we stumbled upon Joe Hatton and his sweet wife was an added bonus! Thanks for a great time and beautiful pics! You are truly gifted!

Joe did a fantastic job capturing the moment during my recent proposal. He took phenomenal photos while allowing the big moment to remain private. The shots were framed so much more beautifully than I could have imagined, and I could not recommend his services more highly. I felt fully confident that he would show up and get the shot and he did not let us down. Our engagement session afterwards was fun and he keep it full of energy and smiles. It is clear he spent a great deal of time making his edits and provided us with more photos than I expected. If you are looking for a photographer in Cincinnati for a proposal, look no further. Could not recommend his services more.

When it comes to a photographer, look no farther… you’ve found the one! Joe + his sweet wife are the perfect combo for your special day, no matter the occasion. It can be so awkward sometimes to be photographed, but Joe’s warm personality makes it feel so natural and comfortable! I told him I was a hairdresser, and he made sure my hair was laying appropriately… even on a WINDY beach! I cannot express how satisfied we were with our family photos, and we will definitely use Hatton in the future for ANY and ALL photography needs! If you want a 5 star experience, BOOK HATTON!
Thank you Joe + little cutie wife!

Joe is AMAZING!! I had booked a photographer for my engagement photos that refused to communicate with me at all. I cancelled and got a refund from her and Joe said he would be able to shoot my engagement photos for the same day I was scheduled with her within a 2 week notice. Our photos turned out beautiful and we got them back so quick!!

Joe was fantastic! The booking process was seamless, and he was quick to answer any questions we had. He was very easy to work with, and he made sure we got any special shots we wanted. The photos came out PERFECT! He had them back to us in less than two weeks after the wedding. He was very friendly, and received many positive comments from family following the wedding. We didn’t even notice him moving around during the ceremony. He is hands down the best wedding photographer in Greater Cincinnati. We would 100% recommend him to anybody. Thanks Joe!

Amazing! Me and my now husband HATE pictures we don’t have social media because we hate it so much and Joe somehow made us feel like he was a friend and you barely noticed he was there. All of my guests commented on how you never saw him and yet he took amazing photos!! As a bride that was filled with nerves you can’t pick a better photographer cause he will put you at ease. He walks you through everything you need to know and makes the process of at least my first look so much less nerve racking because he handled all of it!!! Pick him you won’t regret it!

Working with Joe for my daughter's wedding was absolutely fantastic. He was quick to respond to messages and made the process so easy. The day of the wedding, Joe was friendly and outgoing. He captured my daughter's wedding day perfectly making sure to get great candid and posed shots of the happy couple and the happy families! Joe is a talented photographer and the pictures turned out beautifully. My daughter and her new husband couldn't be happier with their wedding photos. I would not hesitate to hire Joe again or recommend him to family and friends!
