Joshua Fernandez Photography

d and even went above and beyond. He is a true creative and an expert in his craft. He directed the different settings / poses in ways I couldn’t imagine , all doing this with a friendly smile. We wanted our big day to capture the fun and energy of our family / friends and that has been what’s delivered from Josh. They are not only quality snapshots that we will cherish, but moments that show how much joy was in the room. I highly recommend Josh for any of your photography needs.

to be our photographer again 10/10. Awesome photographer, even more wonderful person.

edding timeline, and was very flexible (which, from a planner's point of view, is very important, as not all vendors do that)! He's one of my favorite vendors I have ever worked with and I highly recommend! - Trang, Wedding Planner at Weddings By Trang

o book him as our wedding photographer that we had sent him our deposit before we even had our initial planning meeting. Josh was grateful for our confidence in him. It was important to him that we at least meet so we can make a decision to confirm or withdraw our deposit. We were so impressed with Josh’s work that it was an easy decision to book him as our wedding photographer. ​Working with Josh was an absolute dream! He is very detailed oriented and always accommodating with our requests. He provided fantastic recommendations on where to have our photo shoots. In May 2020, we had to reschedule our wedding to the following year due to COVID. Josh reassured us that he would be with us all the way and that we would figure it all out together. Our deposit would be carried over to the next year, and Josh had even offered us a free photo shoot. This truly shows that Josh cares about his clients and will go the extra mile for them. There were a number of times when my wife and I would meet up with Josh to have lunch together. We would talk about plans for upcoming photo shoots, discuss the wedding itinerary, and get to know each other more. We all share common interests, and we just hit it off from the very beginning. I knew right then and there that we didn’t just get a wonderful photographer for our wedding; we got a new friend for life. ​Josh did such a phenomenal capturing every part of our wedding day. From getting ready in the morning to the wedding reception, the pictures that Josh took were absolutely breath taking. His style is truly simple, unobtrusive, and spontaneous. Because of him, we have all these wonderful photos to look back on and remember for the rest of our lives. Later that evening, I remember Josh coming up to me to let me know that he was done for the night and was about to head home. I was so surprised how time went by so quickly that day! I joked around and said, “No, please don’t go!” Our wedding day is by far the best day of my life that I didn’t want that day to end. With his giving spirit, Josh had offered stay a bit longer for us. However, I wanted to abide by our contract, and my wife and I thanked him for all that he had done for us that day. I knew that we would be seeing each again in the future. This was just the start of something beautiful. ​For all of those searching for a wedding photographer, I highly recommend Josh. You will have the time of your life working with him, and the moments leading up to the wedding will be captured perfectly. Have confidence in him like we did, and you all may be onto something beautiful.

ill be our photographer, the stars aligned to create this lovely friendship. He makes the process straightforward and goes above and beyond to ensure your comfort by assisting other vendors. Josh is a rockstar, a man of the people, and a humble gentleman who will execute his amazing vision for your event with humility and respect. Every conceivable accommodation you can imagine, he has your back. His photographs - Exquisite, cerebral, explosive. He continues to push the limits of his skill and catches abstract philosophical notions that evoke emotion and make you rethink your identity. This summer, we are seeking our third photoshoot with him, and we aim to recommend Josh to all of our connections.

rent that Josh takes great pride in his work. He has been reliable and responsive through the planning process. He takes his time thinking about the compositions of his shots, and the results are stunning. I had multiple guests come to me during the wedding saying they saw some of the raw photos taken and that they were amazing! There's so many more positive things that can be said about working with Josh, but for brevity's sake, know that you can't go wrong by having him as your photographer.

who is looking for a photographer, you won’t regret working with Joshua! The pictures were fantastic

hentically captured our love for each other by drawing out our personalities. We’ve got amazing photos and memories. Thank you Josh!

ed us to feel comfortable and let our personalities shine. He had a perfect mix of professionalism and fun. The final portraits turned out gorgeous.

in May 2022. Josh is a joy to work with: talented, communicative, and fun. We had numerous combinations of family portraits to take and he helped us think through a process to get them done efficiently (his pro tip: immediate family pics before the ceremony free up time to actually enjoy the cocktail hour!) We did a few other couple shots organically throughout the night, but mostly let Josh do his thing, capturing authentic/organic reunions and dancing and everything else. Our wedding wasn’t particularly small (~150ppl) and he captured lots of amazing images just by himself. He also helped us get the most aesthetically out of our venue, which had both nature preserve and amusement park vibes, depending on where you stand. He delivered photos quickly after the fact. He’s a great value for the products you get. Hire Josh!

, no pressure or awkwardness at all. He gave direction but also let our personalities and connection shine through. I highly recommend Josh if you’re looking for more creative and artistic portraits that aren’t boring or cliche! He took the time to meet with us on zoom beforehand so he could get a feel for our personalities and story. He really took the time to get to know us and our connection as a couple. As a professional photographer, Josh is the type I’d trust to photograph any one of my friends or family’s milestones.

ed proofs came back so quickly too! I had multiple photos to chose from and it was hard to narrow it down because the quality was exceptional. Thank you for a great experience, Josh.

like he was invested in us. Overall we had such an amazing experience.

e feel a lot less awkward and stiff. This showed through the pictures, which we are very happy with.

portant to me that we got interesting angles and the best light. I swear every single shot came out looking like a distinct piece of art. He was so easy to hang out with and the shots never felt forced. I highly recommend Josh to anyone looking for an elevated and easy going feel to their photos.

taking a photo of the other or the baby, with an occasional family selfie. - We had a simple city hall wedding ceremony; the photographer was more expensive than anything else aside from my wife's rings. For our family photoshoot, I wasn't sure if I wanted to pay for a professional portrait session instead of just choosing a big-box portrait photography outlet. Both for our wedding and for a family photo shoot, we decided to use a professional photographer. - My wife chose Joshua, and I (we!) could not be happier with the result - this was the best way we could have spent our limited budget. - I felt very awkward being photographed by an actual photographer. Joshua helped me relax, and the photos were much better for it. - Josh's composition of the photos is very good. He is a professional, and it shows. Now I can't believe I balked a bit at paying for a photographer for the family shoot after liking our wedding photos so much, but I won't balk in the future - the photos are so much better than we could do ourselves. - The food, flowers, dresses, etc. were fine for our wedding, but all those things are temporary. We decided that the one thing we were going to spend money on was good photos. We were lucky to find Joshua, and we cherish the two photo sets he did for us. A professional photographer for your wedding is money well spent, and Joshua is one of the best. I highly recommend him both for the quality and the value of his photography.

has a calming energy and a true skill to understand a couple. He understood my husband and I right away and somehow captured that understanding in his photos. Our photos and memories taking them are priceless to us and I can not image our wedding weekend without Josh.

hotographed. I encountered Josh’s work years ago by accident. I just got into hobby photography as it was different from my medical work. Honestly it was fun. Josh is a master at light and photography. The perspectives he got captured our relationship. The feelings and passion we had. Its interesting how i admire his pictures as i would admire art in a museum. When we look at our pictures, i do not see someone else, i see us and our love. Thats what i wanted with our pics. He just help us bring it to the surface. We highly recommend him to anyone considering his services.

s website to see for yourself how he is able to capture the most special moments of life, somehow exactly as they feel when you’re living them. He is highly professional, very timely in his communication, and has an amazing ability to make those he’s working with feel at ease. 10/10 would recommend :)

ographs. I am so so grateful to have worked with Josh, not only once but twice . There is no one in the world I trust more to create images of some of the most important moments in my life. So. Much. Talent. He listens and delivers , without a doubt . You tell him what it is that you’re looking for and he produces images that will hang above your mantle , for a lifetime . As the bride, my wedding day was quite stressful. Just the normal silly stuff - dealing with final payments , phone calls , making sure everything is in order. Not only did Josh excel in what he was there to do - but he jumped right In and offered a hand where he could. Every single one of my guests commented on how wonderful he was . He makes you feel like you’ve known him forever . The way he engages a crowd and puts smiles on everyone’s faces is just amazing . I’m so proud to say Josh is my go to photographer - forever. I’m so grateful to not only work with him- but now call him a friend . He is just absolutely amazing . Thank you for everything that you do and continue to do! Your energy is contagious !

nd If I had questions even regarding the set up he patiently answered my questions. We are very happy with the pictures and his manners. I highly recommend Josh!

ying to act relaxed and natural! He has a true knack for making people feel at home and completely comfortable and themselves. In addition, he's got a gift for posing people and for describing how people can pose themselves for the most interesting and flattering shots. His people skills are incredible, but his photography and editing skills are equally as amazing, which is of course the main reason why people hire a photographer! He has a great eye and his photos look so sharp STRAIGHT OUT OF THE CAMERA! And then when he edits the photos, they might as well be something out of a magazine. I certainly felt like a cover girl when doing photo sessions with him. He's so good, I've hired him TWICE now! Now that I'm married, I hired him AGAIN to do branding photos for my new business. Joshua has grown with me as my life has evolved, and he is my go-to photographer. His service and product is excellent, and his prices are more than reasonable for the quality of work he provides. Joshua has my highest recommendation as a photographer, and I recommend him to anyone who wants to look their best.

nned at how professional I looked! Haha! The hardest part of the process was choosing my favorite photo because everything came out so nicely composed. He absolutely deserves more than five stars! He was kind, personable and professional, all at the same time. Plus, he answers queries/emails thoroughly and promptly. I would definitely recommend!

friendly atmosphere that allowed us to relax and just be ourselves for the camera. His compositions were gorgeous, and we are very happy with the results. If you want photos to look natural, without stiffness, Josh is your man.

forehand. He was perfectly on time to our appointment, and even worked with us when the weather looked like it might not work out. Our actual photo session was a dream. With a little guidance, he let our personalities and relationship shine through, and even included the dogs and our vintage car. The photographs turned out better than I ever even could have imagined. We enjoyed the conversation and all of the laughs we shared. Josh will most definitely be our photographer as our family grows and changes. Josh - thank you for everything, your quick turnaround, and your humor. His pricing is very reasonable for the services he provides, which makes it even sweeter.

the pandemic made it necessary for us to postpone our wedding celebration, he joined us at the courthouse for a shoot around the city. He turned an otherwise bureaucratic and dull process into some of the most honest and beautiful photos ever taken of us. His heart and passion, not just for his craft but for the subjects he photographs, comes through with every shot and edit.

hared the photos with has gushed about how beautiful they look and how amazing and thoughtful Josh’s work is. We love all the shots, every last one! Josh - thank you, thank you, thank you!! We are so thoroughly pleased with your hard work. We could not have chosen a better artist to immortalize these memories!

reative and not cheesy. Josh went above and beyond in many ways. In addition, he was so nice, very flexible, easy to work with, and rearranged his schedule so he could be at our ceremony at the last minute too. We LOVE our photos and have already received so many compliments from people saying how much they love them.

DC. We were impressed with how the images turned out and the memories we've created to last with our new family photos. We would definitely recommend Josh for your next family photos!

tyle are impeccable. Thanks for everything Josh! Memories to last a lifetime.

ngagement and we were so impressed with his work that when deciding on a photographer for our wedding it was a no brainer. It had to be Josh. We are a same-sex couple and I can say without a doubt we could not have been more comfortable with a photographer. From the initial planning through to our wedding Josh always made us feel right at home and at ease to be ourselves. It was clear how important it was to him to capture our love for each other and that definitely comes through in his photographs. Sessions with him are fun, yet still intimate, and truly memorable. He always has fresh ideas for poses and takes all of the guess work out of it so that my partner and I could just focus on each other and have fun. On our wedding day he was always helpful, even with tasks not traditional for a photographer. He also had the perfect balance of capturing spontaneous moments while also pulling us away to capture special moments throughout the venue. After the event we got the majority of our photos within just a couple days and I truly can’t put into words how impressed we were. There were photos of our wedding that honestly brought me to tears, they were that good. I would hire Josh again and again and can’t wait to work with him again.

e never dreamed of. Could not be happier with our choice

t comfortable and calm from beginning to end. It was the perfect balance between capturing organic moments but also gently guiding us so we never felt lost or confused about poses. Josh has a sunny disposition that can put anyone who is new in front of the camera at complete ease. His work and artistic vision are refreshing and timeless and I absolutely cannot wait to work with him again in the future.

re clients are comfortable and knowledgeable about what to expect at the photoshoot.

s are excellent, as well. WOULD RECOMMEND TO EVERYONE!

mily. :-D We highly recommend Joshua Fernandez Photography.

details that could be added to pictures. Joshua's greatest strength while working with him was his openness to suggestions. He urged us to offer thoughts and ideas which was great! I can only hope to shoot with Joshua in the near future. Mahalo!

by suggesting poses, evoking different moods throughout, and finding additional backdrops nearby. I highly recommend Josh for your next people-focused shoot.

inator and me over a Zoom call ahead of the photoshoot to discuss my vision and plan out shots. I would definitely recommend Josh for all of your photography needs!

of the camera. He is extremely patient with our toddler and gets the best kiddo action shots! Most importantly, Josh is extremely talented and provides us with beautiful family photos that we absolutely love, every time. We highly recommend!!

es during the shoot and how quickly he works.

and super staged. Additionally, my fiancé and I typically do not like having our picture taken. After a friend told me about Josh and after I viewed his work I knew it was the right fit. For us his photos had the warm, non-staged vibe we were hoping for. After our initial facetime, we felt even more comfortable, and once we met up and the photo shoot began Josh really made us feel comfortable having our pictures taken. Rather than just making us pose he had us have normal conversations between ourselves to catch photos of us naturally smiling and laughing together. We had so much fun working with him and are thrilled with how our two preview shots came out (super excited to see the rest!) I wasn't planning on using these photos for our save the dates, but I think I may change my mind. I think it is also important to note, considering COVID-19 is happening right now, that Josh took all precautions by wearing a mask and always keeping a safe distance from us. I highly recommend booking your engagement/wedding photos with Josh!

importantly, he was able to foster a positive atmosphere and drive the spontaneous, fun photos that we all hope to receive. In addition to his wonderful work, Josh was a true pleasure to work with professionally. He was flexible with our rainy days and a joy on our intro and planning call. Thanks for the extremely positive experience!

would create the kind of pictures I would want at all. But Josh looks at photography differently. For the engagement photos Josh shot for us, the pictures feel like he found the spirit of our relationship and then, through magic, was able to pull it forward and onto the image. It felt like Josh’s style was to take the backseat and allow our relationship to fill the space around us, and he would work to create angles, poses and find locations that capture or eccentuate what was between my fiancé and me. The photos are gorgeous but most importantly the photos feel like us.

was intimidating to search for the perfect fit. In stark contrast to our experience with Josh, most photographers I spoke with seemed stiff, uninspired, and transactional. However, even in his first message he was warm, inviting, and professional. In all modalities—email, video chat, and in person—he has a special ability to connect with you and make you feel comfortable, heard, and understood while sharing his expertise to guide you to capture the exact types of moments and photos you’re hoping for. Engagement photos are more than just documentation of a milestone in your relationship— they should capture the unique, magical moments that truly represent your relationship and for that you need an exceptional photographer who can create an atmosphere that allows your relationship to be celebrated and seen. Josh is that photographer.

dea but was in constant contact all the way up to the night of the proposal. He pretended to be a tour guide (part of the plan) and my partner could not have been more surprised. I highly recommend him for any of your photography needs, but he certainly stands out for a surprise proposal photographer. He was kind, gracious, patient, and supportive all the way through. He calmed my nerves and let me trust in the process. I wouldn't have changed a thing! Thanks so much, Josh. You helped create a night we'll never forget!

odating and flexible and worked with our schedule and location. Josh, thank you for capturing our most important moments so naturally and perfectly!

at communicate how people feel about each other. Josh is a very polished photographer and edits each photo for the maximum wow factor, and you just can't believe how good the photos come out. We wish we could have found Josh many years ago to take all our photos and you will, too!

process very well. We hired Josh for our brand’s product photography and he did not let us down. His work was incredible as we saw him capture our products on the model; little did we know that Josh is an equally good fashion photographer as he is a wedding photographer. He helped us out with selection of the location and he met us at that location before hand to walk us through the different shooting sites. This really solidified the whole game plan, his planning to meet our vision was impeccable. I highly recommend Josh for anything photography.

phy. He seamlessly transitioned from a wedding photographer to a fashion photographer. He did a fantastic job capturing my vision for my brand and products. I appreciated his suggestions and inputs, which led to several amazing shots. He always comes so well prepared and is very easy to work with. I highly recommend Josh not just for wedding/couples shoot, but for your other photography needs as well.

glad we did! He did an outstanding job from start to finish. I appreciated how much attention he gave in trying to make us feel comfortable from the very first chat we had with him. Even though he offered his suggestions based on his professional experience, he was also open-minded and did whatever he could to make us happy and enjoy the experience. Unlike many photographers who are only willing show their Instagram-worthy images, Josh is very transparent and is not afraid to reveal all his work to show his true artistry. Suffice to say we are very happy with our photos.

it very comfortable and fun fo us. The kids had a blast! He managed to capture moments that were all very organic and created some of our favorite family photos. He is an exceptional photographer, with such an artistic eye. Judging by his previous work, we knew he was amazing with composition and lighting. We felt confident he would capture moments we would treasure forever, and he did just that. My only regret is that we didn’t find him sooner for more family photos with our kids as babies.

e me comfortable around the camera, and all our pictures came out so nicely. He is truly the best photographer.

g ! He captured the most EXCEPTIONAL photos that I will cherish forever. He’s got such a gift and sooo much talent. He’s got the perfect eye and knows exactly where to take photos, how to pose, and how to use the lighting in his favor. My husband and I aren’t exactly “comfortable” In Front of the camera but Joshua made us feel at ease and it really felt natural taking our photos . He’s amazing all around and I would recommend him to everyone I know ! Thank you Joshua, for making our hearts so happy looking at our photos and reliving those beautiful moments :)

ouldn't be happier!

good spots (even though he was familiar with the area). As a queer couple, it was important to us to have someone accepting and affirming, and Josh was perfect. His artistry is excellent; he knew exactly how to frame things, and give us instruction with a smile. He had an ability to help us relax and get genuine smiles and capture sweet, tender moments. He promised 30 or so proofs within a week, and got 95 to us within a day! It was so hard to narrow down and choose, because so many of them were just perfect. The whole experience was just a delight.

red and methodical when it came to getting the right shots, especially considering the short timeline for our wedding. Every moment counted and he made sure to capture them in the best way possible, Thanks Josh!
