Josh + Pine

g, he was easy to get in touch with and asked great questions to understand just what we were looking for. He traveled all the way to NC for our wedding and was so much fun to work with. He was professional and punctual, while also being super engaging and kind. My husband and I don’t consider ourselves to be “naturally photogenic,” but Josh helped put us at ease, and it was such a stress-free, fun experience. He captured such sweet moments with our friends and family that we will treasure forever. Josh is wonderful, and we couldn’t recommend him more !!

ofessional. He perfectly captured all the poses that my wife and I wanted. I love the warm tones that he incorporates. He made harsh lighting conditions look like a studio photo. He is also very reasonably priced. He has an excellent turnaround. We got our photos back in two weeks! I would recommend Josh from a budget wedding to an all out extravagant wedding.

te about photography but in love with capturing the moment and seeing his clients happy. He worked tirelessly to capture our day… to the point we had to pull him into a seat to have his meal! We had a 200+ wedding in LA County, and between Josh and Jonah, they definitely captured each and every special moment. You will not be disappointed!

were so beautiful! more than I had ever dreamed.He gives great direction, but also is perfect when capturing those sweet , in between, REAL moments . Not gonna lie, I cried a little at these sweet photos. Thank you Josh!!!

Josh was so easy to get in touch with, and he really made an effort to get to know us personally while working with us through the planning stages. There was not a moment where we felt stressed because Josh had everything under control! On the day of the wedding, even though it was the first time we were meeting, Josh made us feel so comfortable and at ease. He guided us when posing and helped make it feel so natural. Looking back at our pictures, Josh captured the intimate and authentic moments so well. Not only was he a great photographer, he was so friendly and kind with our families and guests. He made the wedding even more special and memorable when he broke out his moves on the dance floor! We’re so pleased with the photos he delivered. We recommend him wholeheartedly without hesitation. Josh, thank you so much!

anything for a great photo ( we climbed to the roof of a building ). He captured us so well and the photos felt like US. Choooooose this guy!!!!

e rest of the guests. He was easy, breezy, organized, and responsive. Josh listened to the vibe I had in mind and over-exceeded my expectations--and I am a picky girl. He brought the vision of my wedding photos to light, while also not being afraid to boss around the difficult family members during portraits. He is the BEST! Cannot recommend enough.

y place and transformed it into a daydream before our eyes, with a golden hour sent from above. Josh is not only an incredibly talented, gifted, kind, creative young man: but, the kind of person who can instantly become your best friend and make you feel like sunshine. Josh’s work is beyond creative and unlike any other. He honestly captures the most authentic real pictures that shows the true moment which is so much fun. looking through our gallery i can remember of second, every touch, and every kiss from my husband all because of Josh. thank you Josh, you are fantastic.

and every situation. We had a heavy storm the day of our wedding and yet he took the best pictures of our first look in the rain. All with a smile on his face. He also knows how to coordinate bridal party photos and family photos very well. He’s a joy work with!!

losophy of capturing people in their most natural moments. He was also extremely passionate about his work and because he was just having so much fun during the process, we were also able to relax and enjoy the experience very early on in the shoot as well. We sometimes wished we were the ones holding the camera so that we can capture him climbing up on the rocks, getting excited and going the extra mile to get the best shot! The result of this was a FANTASTIC roll of pictures that captured us in our very candid moments. These were not only beautiful but also reminded us of our 2 hours+ of fun in the desert and we truly loved them. We are soo thankful that he was available to help photograph this special milestone and honestly, if we weren’t living > 8000 miles away, we would’ve also booked him as our Wedding Day photographer in a heartbeat!! 🥰

families and wedding party during the photos. And for the first time in 6 months, the bride and I were able just to sit back and enjoy the moment with our families and friends.

lue of good photos made this my #1 most important vendor I would be booking for my wedding. What I didn't realize at the start of this search was also how important it is to connect with your photographer and choose someone who you both feel comfortable with. All I can say is that if you are looking for a photographer you would be a fool to not book Josh! He's got that good energy you want around you on your big day that will keep you feeling calm, cool, and having fun amidst the chaos. Not only is he an exceptional photographer with insane talent, he's kind, helpful, fun, and becomes a true friend. I recommended him to our best friends who also booked him for their wedding and will continue to recommend him. Our photos turned out absolutely beautiful and we will cherish them forever. We also had an engagement shoot with him that turned out stunning as well. From his gifted eye, understanding of lighting and how he plays with it to give you a variety of different vibes within one day, to his ability to create so much movement and emotion you can FEEL in a photo- there's simply no one better. We didn’t want forced or posed feeling photos. We wanted artistic, romantic, and beautiful photos and that is totally what we got. I’ve said this many times now, he’s our photographer for life! Thank you Josh!!

is precise and lined everything up perfectly. He was so kind and made the picture process so smooth and effortless. He definitely made our day even more perfect. He captured all the emotions that were present that day and has such an eye for the key parts of a wedding. I’m so so thankful for all he did for us!!! Highly highly recommend.

not just the perfect posed photos but the natural & candid moments, too. ❤️

k and it’s GORGEOUS. Booking him was a no-brainer honestly. He suggested the engagement shoot, explaining that it gives us a chance to meet before the wedding. Let me tell you, book the engagement shoot!! It was so nice to meet him before the wedding and not just the day of. We met at a place in Malibu that was so beautiful. My husband and I immediately liked Josh and his energy. We were kind of apprehensive because we’ve never done a shoot together, but within the first few minutes Josh made us feel so comfortable and safe, he hyped us up and really gave us confidence. The engagement photos beautifully captured our love for each other and our playful spirits. The turnaround time for the photos was quick and they are incredible. We used them for our Save the Dates! The day of the wedding, Josh was so organized and did such an amazing job capturing the energy of the day and our love for each other once more. He captured the love of our family members and seriously, looking at the photos I feel like I get to relive the day over and over. Josh is very organized, very responsive, and just a great guy. From the beginning, he made it clear he wanted to capture us as we are naturally, nothing forced or fake. The authentic and beautiful photos speak for themselves. Josh is so much fun too! He was dancing with us at the wedding, bringing such fun and amazing vibes to our big day! He worked with the coordinators at the venue, with the DJ, he was really on top of everything and I can’t say enough about how grateful my husband and I are to have met him and have booked him for our shoots. Thank you, Josh!!!

l happy and joyful while taking pictures of every possible angle he could get. I would love for Josh to continue photographing any future events of ours. We really really loved having him. Thank you!!

very detail and moment he captures. As soon as you meet Josh you can tell he wants the best for his clients! Just thinking about how many things need to be captured (getting ready, bridal party, family, ceremony, reception etc.) makes me appreciate his work so much more! He's a one man show who executes his craft with perfection! Even our guests didn't hesitate to tell him how amazing he was! I am in love with the final product and I've already claimed him as our personal photographer forever! Lol. We love you Josh! And I know anybody who chooses him to capture their special day will love him too!

ces. He was prompt to respond in all ways of communication and was so enthusiastic! The photos are amazing and I am so so happy we went with him!

If you are looking for the perfect photographer for your wedding or engagement or just a fun photo shoot- Josh is the perfect person for the job. We loved all of the pictures he took.

and it’s always so much fun! He’s funny and light, and always makes us feel so comfortable. He’s extremely professional but also feels like he’s one of your good friends just hanging out with you! He keeps his sessions fun, relaxed, and keeps the tempo going from one great picture to the next. He always hypes us up throughout and makes us feel like we’re photogenic, even though we may not consider ourselves to be 😂 Josh it is so fun to see your artistic and creative ideas come out as we work with you, and see them come to life through the greatest pictures we’ve ever had! You are truly so gifted and creative! Thank you for taking the time to go to lunch with us, get to know us, and work with us so many times. We’re thankful for your heart and professionalism, and how perfectly you captured the best day of our lives! Thank you so so much! We love you!

and beyond to make sure our photos are exactly our vision. They end up being 5x better than I could even imagine. Not only is he gifted in what he does, but so personable and fun to work with! He makes every experience a blast. His attention to detail is insane! Josh truly cares about every job he books and goes above and beyond time and time again. I will not book with anyone else because I fully trust his ability to capture anything I ask for!! I will continue to book with Josh for all of my photography needs.

b capturing all of the moments that were special for us!!

nicates with you from the get go all the way up to the wedding day. Also, he fits right in with your family. He joins your wedding in such a way that makes everyone feel like they gained another friend. After the wedding, so many of our family members and wedding guests couldn't stop raving about Josh and how he was so great on our wedding day! His photos/edits are just SO stunning and he captures such beautiful moments that you will forever be able to look back on and remember! Josh is everything you would want in a photographer, and then some!! We are so thankful for Josh and that we had him to capture one of the biggest days of our life so far!♥️

est you to play this role in anyone’s life events.

osphere super fun! He put on some music and directed us in a way I've never experience before; it was awesome! He made my boyfriend and I feel really comfortable in front of the camera and his reactions to every shot made it even better! The positive affirmations made us grow more confident with each captured photo (and it shows in the finished digitals lol). Thank goodness we caught him on a slow day, because the turnaround time to get the final digitals was only a few hours! I love how passionate he is about his work. Him using his free time to get these photos back to us as soon as possible meant the world to us! Now don't get me started on these photos.. When I first saw the sneak peeks on his instagram (@captivatexphoto) my eyes WATERED. I couldn't stop staring at all of these beautiful moments captured of my boyfriend and I. I've been blown away by his work before, but seeing us as the models of his work was a WHOLE other level! Thank you so much Josh for making everything about this day perfect! I will cherish these FOREVER!

ers up the perfect amount of guidance. It felt like hanging out with good friends! I will treasure these pictures forever.

erson who takes pride in his work and loves those that he’s working with. He helped my husband and I so much during the pandemic when our wedding was such an uncertainty. He was calm, rational, patient, understanding, and optimistic. Not to mention his photoshoots are so fun and the pictures capture real joy and lasting memories. Both shoots we’ve had with him involved not just great pictures, but great memories we will have forever. He sets the tone with his outgoing personality and makes everything super chill. We love him! Highly recommended! You won’t be disappointed!

e had to cancel the Big Celebration but still got married this past October! Josh was so eager to help us in anyway possible and we just took our wedding photos about three weeks ago! He was an incredible energetic photographer and really made the session feel natural and brought back all the feelings we had and more on our wedding day! I would 1000% recommend him to anyone for any kinds of photos you are looking for!

special day. He is creative and always throwing new, cool ideas your way. I could not recommend Josh more. He is the best of the best! 10/10

we did not want to skimp on. Josh provides the highest quality of product with amazing speed in finishing the editing process. We’ve always gotten our pictures back within days and been so impressed with his work. We love Josh and we are so blessed to have been lucky enough to have him capture our favorite memories.

be with you. His excitement made me feel more excited and comfortable. He also got our engagement pictures to us the same day that we took them!! I would highly recommend Josh. It is the best and easiest decision you will ever have to make for your wedding. Our guests and bridal party loved him just as much as we did! Don't miss out on using him for your wedding!

d a schedule set for the day so I wouldn’t have to worry about anything, and was extremely thorough and professional. He was very comfortable to work with and had such an energetic and positive personality which was a perfect fit for our day! He acted quick on his fit when there were some time circumstances and he immediately found a great spot to take first look pictures. Josh captured so many beautiful moments from the day and I would absolutely recommend him for any event that you want to remember completely!

ing out of a magazine. his passion for photography shines through his creative ideas and beautiful editing skills. if you think you may be awkward during a professional photo shoot, josh is the photographer for you because he communicates the poses he is envisioning in a way that is so natural and fun, all while making you feel comfortable and confident. he gets just as excited for the shoot as you are and literally hypes you up so much and makes the experience so fun and so memorable. he has amazing energy and is so relatable and personal, becoming an instant friend. our package included a complimentary engagement shoot which made our wedding day run so smoothly because of the trust we established. josh also was diligent throughout the event with helping us stick to our timeline and he made sure we got every shot we wanted. something special about josh is that he is always ready to jump in and help when something goes awry during the event. i will never forget how we forgot the speaker to play ceremony music for our elopement and josh ran right away to go get his wireless speaker that he had nearby. he just truly cares for you, your event, and making it run as smoothly as possible by helping in any way he can. he is exceptional at his art and running his own small business. i truly couldn’t recommend anyone better to capture your special moments!!

sh since i was a freshman in college, and had the honor of having him as the photographer at my wedding. I would highly recommend Josh to anyone looking to capture all the important moments of their big day.
