Josh Sailor Photography

I had an amazing experience with Josh Sailor during my engagement photo shoot. I was feeling nervous that I would be uncomfortable taking the photos. However I was presently surprised that he immediately greeted me with a hug and made me feel at ease. He continued doing so throughout the entire shoot and did all that he could to make myself, my fiance, and daughter comfortable through the shoot. I absolutely love how he did all that he could to make my two year old smile and even took more photos of her than I ever would have expected from an engagement post. This resulted in quite possibly the best photos that have ever been taken of her. My experience was outstanding and I would highly recommend booking a session with Josh. His studio is beautiful and he even has a national park right across the street that permits stunning photos to be shot around sunset. His enthusiasm and passion for his work truly show during the shoot and in the resulting work. I couldn't have found a better photographer anywhere and cannot wait for my wedding to see the quality of work he provides.

While Mr. Sailor does take beautiful photos, my issue was with his timeliness and professionalism. My engagement photos were received the week of my wedding (two days before) and were unable to be used for my wedding invitations due to their late arrival. My photo shoot was October 16, and I didn't receive the bulk of my engagement photos until after Christmas for a December 31st wedding. My wedding photos took nearly a year to receive, were delivered incomplete, and my wedding package (that was over $3500 and paid up front) was to include a wedding video, edited photos, a large print for my wall and a wedding album. My photos started to trickle in approximately seven months after our wedding, which is twice the industry standard. When I pressed the matter, I was originally told that it was because he had covid. After another few months went by he changed this story to a flood in the basement. After approximately ten months of waiting, my wedding planner suggested that I threaten legal action in order to receive what I had paid for. This resulted in receiving the remaining photos (unedited), a one minute video of a party guest dancing on the dance floor, and a wedding album with unedited photos and the label of "new years" with the wrong wedding date. I did finally receive our wall print approximately 8 months after our wedding, but it was a nice print. When my concerns were brought to his attention he resorted to insulting me personally both regarding my appearance and mental faculties. Additionally, he took it upon himself to communicate with my employer in an attempt to defame my character. If anyone would like a copy of all of these emails, I will submit them for your review. Given Mr. Sailors erratic behavior, continual cotton mouth, difficulty with focus during conversations, and unprofessional behavior, etc it is my belief as a medical professional that he is the one in need of counseling. While he does take beautiful photos, there may be a significant delay in receiving them, and he may resort to insulting you and interfering in with your career if you try to hold him accountable.

Fantastic, energetic, funny! Enthusiasm and passion for his work truly shows

Josh was so fun to work with. He had great photo ideas. He has a great team. They captured all the important highlights and plus some. He went above a beyond and made my father/ daughter dance magical with a slide show. I would definitely use him again.

When I started looking for photographers and got all kinds of recommendations from family and friends. I decided to do my own research into the kind of style and experience we wanted on our day. We decided to go ahead and take a chance with Josh. Honestly, I don't think any other photographers would of made our wedding day as special as it ended up being! We had a part of our ceremony that was extremely special to us to capture. When told of what was going to be announced in our ceremony they were excited to capture that moment. They were also able to work with the all the kids as well and even got my 9 year old to smile on photos. Literally NO ONE has been able to accomplish that! She stills talks about them a week after the wedding. I will definitely be recommending them to all my friends and family for future needs. Although we ended up completely spacing scheduling our engagement photos we will be able to book them for family photos, maternity photos and other life events which I am beyond excited for!

In the beginning of our journey of trying to make our dream wedding come to life, we knew when we found Josh and his wife Nicole they were the perfect fit from day 1. Not only did Josh talk through each of his packages with us but he let us know that not only would he capture the pictures that we wanted he would capture all the little moments that we didn't even know we needed ❤️ and that is exactly what they both did. Josh and Nicole we're all over everywhere, the dance floor speeches the ceremony everything capturing everything and much much more. ❤️ We just want to thank you both so much from the bottom of our hearts for helping make our day the best day ever and we couldn't have done it without the best team in the world. Again thank you so much ❤️🎉🎉 Tabitha and Roman Swank 😍

If you are looking for a photographer - LOOK NO FURTHER!!! While looking for a photographer we had narrowed it down to four, with Josh being one of them. We looked through each photographers portfolio, but found ourselves going back to Josh's. Once we realized that we were comparing the other photographers work to Josh's, we knew that we had to choose Josh. From the moment I contacted Josh, I knew that we had chosen the right photographer to capture our daughters wedding. Not only are his credentials impeccible, he was organized and and made everything seamless and we NEVER worried. From the very beginning, Josh was prompt in answering all of our emails and took the time to answer all of our questions. Due to COVID, we had to postpone the wedding a year and Josh was very understanding and sympathetic and had no issue with moving the date out. On the day of the wedding, he and his wife Nicole spent the entire day/evening making sure to not only capture every moment, he was also able to get all of the shots that we had requested. He took our vision and brought it to life and we couldn't be more grateful. Twenty minutes before the wedding was to begin, Josh impressed us again when we were informed that the DJ had not shown up. Through all the chaos, panic and tears, Josh made the unfortunate situation bearable with his jovial personality and his positive energy and warmth. Both he and his wife Nicole were very approachable and made everyone feel at ease. Despite capturing weddings for over 20 years, we were amazed by his continued passion and excitement. He is immensely skilled and creative – don’t expect a checklist of cliché wedding photos with Josh, he has true vision and is not just a guy going through the motions. Josh looks to capture your unique story through his artistic lens. Josh is not just a photographer, he is an artist. His work is timeless and his ability to use light to capture different elements of a scene is a talent that cannot be learned - it is truly a gift. Overall, Josh managed to capture EVERY aspect of our daughters special day. We were mesmerized by the sneak peek images we received just days after the wedding and we cannot wait to see more. We are blown away by his ability to capture the true essence of who Nina and Caleb are as a couple, as well as as individuals. We were very lucky to have Josh as a part of our daughters wedding day. We were most impressed with his ability to convey their story; he captured every moment as if he'd had been a part of their lives forever. We could not be happier with the results. Any couple looking to truly tell their story needs to look no further than Josh Sailor!!! ~ Jason & Renee Mossotti
