Josh + Pine

s 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!! 🥰

time in 6 months, the bride and I were able just to sit back and enjoy the moment with our families and friends.

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!!

d 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.

nts, too. ❤️

uggested 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!!!

he could get. I would love for Josh to continue photographing any future events of ours. We really really loved having him. Thank 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!

as so enthusiastic! The photos are amazing and I am so so happy we went with him!

g or engagement or just a fun photo shoot- Josh is the perfect person for the job. We loved all of the pictures he took.

akes 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!

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.

ay. 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!♥️

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!

with good friends! I will treasure these pictures forever.

ing 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!

ast 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!

your way. I could not recommend Josh more. He is the best of the best! 10/10

f 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.

table. 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!

nything, 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!

h 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!!

g 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.
