About this vendor
I make people cry and I love it. It might sound a little mean or even a little cheezy, but as a photographer I believe its the best thing I can possibly do.
When I send a sneak peek slideshow to a couple on their honeymoon, and they tell me they cried watching it over and over again, I am thrilled because I know I did my job of helping them relive their day.
People think wedding photography is about capturing pretty pictures of the bride and groom and their pretty flowers. And while I definitely love capturing those, my real job is to tell love stories.
I want my brides to not just look at their photos and remember how beautiful they looked, but I want them to remember the love they felt. I capture all the moments that matter and even the little in between ones that most photographers miss.
I don't just capture the obvious, I capture the expressions that let you feel again. I capture the flower girl with her eyes wide open as she sees the bride in her dress, the beaming pride on a dad's face when he sees his baby girl all grown up, and I capture the “Wow! That's my bride” look on the grooms face when he sees her for the first time.
The wedding day is a blur and couples don't get to stop to take it all in. I show couples everything they don't want to forget, and everything they didn't know they missed.
Don't miss out on reliving your love story for years to come together and with your future families. You have a beautiful love story to tell, and I’d love to be the one to tell it.

Special thanks to Joshua Grasso for showing up early and spending 10+ hours (in the rain) taking 1000s of pictures throughout the day. He was there while everyone was getting ready...
, and stayed until the final moments late in to the evening. The photos are beautiful! Highly recommend!
We had the absolute pleasure of working with Joshua Grasso and his team for our wedding, and we truly could not have asked for a better experience.
We first met Joshua at an open ...
house over a year ago, and from that very first interaction, we knew he was the one. His kind demeanor, warm and approachable personality immediately set him apart—but beyond that, his work speaks for itself. His photography is simply stunning.
Throughout the entire planning process, Joshua was communicative, responsive, and professional, which gave us so much confidence leading up to the big day. On the wedding day, he and his team arrived early, fully prepared, and seamlessly blended in with our large wedding party.
What really stood out was how present they were without ever being intrusive. They captured everything beautifully while allowing us and our guests to stay fully in the moment. They were with us the entire day—from the early moments all the way through our departure—ensuring no detail was missed.
Overall, working with Joshua Grasso and his team was a wonderful experience. If you’re looking for a photographer who is not only incredibly talented but also kind, professional, and easy to work with, we cannot recommend him highly enough.
We couldn’t be happier with our wedding photos!
Joshua has a truly special eye. His shots captured the energy and the feeling of our wedding day. From the emotional moments wi...
th family to the candid laughter and celebration, he was able to get it all.
The angles are stunning and the lighting was perfect. It’s clear that Joshua sees space and angles in a unique and artistic way which gave us beautiful pictures and amazing backdrops.
He nailed the energy on the dance floor—the sweat, the joy, the music, the flags, the fans, the culture. I loved it.
Overall, he managed to preserve the love, the energy, and the atmosphere in a way that feels cinematic yet deeply personal.
I also appreciated working with him. He’s was personable and warm in all our interactions. From our engagement photos to the wedding photos, he worked earnestly. He stays focused and moved seamlessly through the crowd on the wedding day. He was ready whenever we needed him to snap a special picture. My wedding planner also commented on how he lent a helping hand day of the wedding. He was a true team player.
Obviously, I can’t say enough about him as a photographer. I’d use him again and recommend him in a heartbeat. We’re beyond grateful and will treasure these photos forever.
We truly cannot say enough good things about Josh Grasso! Neither of us considers ourselves very photo-savvy or particularly photogenic, but somehow he made us look amazing in our ...
wedding photos. His calm presence throughout the day was such a grounding force, and he was incredibly easy to work with from start to finish.
He captured all the special moments so naturally and beautifully — nothing felt forced or overly staged. Even our families came to us after the wedding to express how kind and professional he & his co-photographer were. We honestly wouldn’t change a single thing about our experience.
We would 100% recommend him to anyone looking for a wedding photographer — you’ll be in the BEST of hands!! Remember, the flowers will die, but your wedding photos will last forever. I'm glad I trusted Josh to take mine.
Joshua was an amazing photographer from start to finish. He was flexible with our schedule and made us feel included as a Black lesbian couple. Our engagement photos at Ponce City ...
were beautiful and high quality. On our wedding day, he worked perfectly with our videographers and wedding choreographer while capturing every amazing candid moment. The wedding album we received is breathtaking, with high-quality pages that tell our story in a truly memorable way. We highly recommend Joshua.
Josh and his assistant, Mary, were a magnificent team. They were very professional and knowledgeable about photography. Josh and Mary went above and beyond our expectations. From h...
ow warming and welcoming their personalities are to their enthusiasm about their amazing photography skills! I had asked Josh to do a sneak peek for me and which he gladly obliged. We received our sneak peek within seven days of the most awesome candid moments captured by these two. Also, as an added bonus Mary did a couple of instant photos for Rick and I to take with us on our honeymoon.
Along with our wedding photos Josh joined us for a bit of craziness with my girls for a bachelorette photo shoot. Josh was such a great sport and smiled and laughed a bit as he captured all our silliness. I would highly recommend Josh & Mary as your event photographer specialist!!
I could not have asked for a better photographer to capture our engagement pictures, rehearsal dinner, and wedding. Josh and his teammate Kat are incredibly professional, talented,...
personable, and are excellent communicators. They put us at ease every step of the way, and Josh proactively reached out to me to see if I needed anything throughout the process. We got our sneak peaks pretty quickly and they showcase all the beauty and emotion of the entire experience. Josh was recommended by my wedding planner and I am so grateful she connected us!
Joshua did an amazing job photographing my wedding! We had a disco concert wedding and he was amazing at providing us with direction and helping us with poses while taking pictures...
. He was very efficient and helpful all night. He even left his place in line to get dinner because my bridesmaids spotted a beautiful sunset and he was able to get some amazing shots! He had sneak peeks ready for us in less than a week along with an awesome blog and a short video. I would absolutely recommend him! He was the photographer for one of my best friend's weddings as well which I was a bridesmaid in. I loved my experience taking bridesmaids photos as well as the way her picture turned out so much that I knew I would want to work with him for my wedding! Thanks so much Joshua!
My now husband and I found Joshua at a Wedding Expo at the Atlanta Aquarium. There was something about Joshua that made my husband go back to his booth and get more information. Af...
ter the Expo I went online to get a meeting with Joshua and at the meeting he remembered some details we had spoken to him at the Expo. We both quickly agreed that Joshua based on his personality and style were who we wanted. We later got prices from other photographers who sent me emails for the Atlanta area and Joshua came out on top again. He looks for moments and random times to take "emotions" and make them into photos.
We loved the spots he used for our photos. We got to see some shots at the wedding on August 10th of what he had before any edits. We are excited to see the photos.
Josh was amazing! Our engagement session photos were so stunning. On the wedding day he was everywhere at once and was able to take so many pictures throughout the entire day. He i...
s so easy to work with and very helpful for a couple that doesn’t have much photo experience or knowledge! All of our guests were complimentary about the pictures and his ability to capture so many different moments!!!
Josh was AMAZING! He was very professional as well as friendly and helpful during our entire wedding day. We hardly knew he was there half the time, but during portraits he helped ...
everything to go smoothly and quickly. Josh captured some of the best moments that we’re going to cherish forever. We’ve gotten SO many compliments on our photos and I cannot recommend him enough!!
It was a delightful experience to have Joshua document a very special event of mine. It is always a music to the soul seeing a person who truly enjoys what he does on top of being...
so good at it. I sincerely appreciated all his efforts and communication and would recommend him in a heartbeat for someone who is considering hiring a photography professional. I myself would definitely reach out to him again for any further needs! Thanks so much Joshua for doing such an amazing job!
I couldn’t find a better one than Joshua.

WOW! We don't have all of the words to describe how phenomenal Josh was for not only our wedding but also our engagement shoot. He captured our special moments exactly how we imagi...
ned and we look through all of the photos on a regular. Josh provided us with authentic, creative, and unique shots that not only show our love in the most realistic way, but show the small moments that we cherish the most. We are forever grateful to have stumbled upon Josh at the Atlanta Wedding Expo almost two years prior to the big day. BY FAR THE BEST DECISION WE MADE!!!
Hiring Joshua was the best decision we made for our entire wedding planing process. He is very talented and quick with all the shots. Not to mention the amount of patience he has w...
hen we wanted to shoot our engagement session with our dog. At the end of the day, we want our wedding gallery to be a collection of cherished memories. Thanks to Joshua's outstanding skill and dedication.
Joshua was a wonderful person to work with as our wedding photographer. He was helpful in making sure that the wedding preparation went smoothly, and he was not only a professional...
, but also a personable and caring person. He took a genuine interest in our lives and stories and the photographs that he captured are ones that are going to be displayed in our house as the artistic pieces that they are.
I absolutely love Joshua's style and we booked him after he did an incredible job shooting our friend's wedding. He was beyond easy to work with and professional. He captured so ...
many wonderful candid moments! We love the photos we have seen so far and can't wait to get our full batch back!
There’s honestly not enough “wonderful” words to describe our experience with Joshua! We hired him a year and a half before our wedding, and even that far out he was periodically c...
hecking in to see how we were and if we needed anything. Fast forward to wedding day, not only was he on time but he was early! Like super early! He was so easy to work with & the whole day you could tell how passionate he is about his work and he truly treats it as an art. He captured the more raw, unintentional moments you didn’t even know you needed or wanted to remember.
We received compliments ALL night long (and still are a week later) about him, how “right in there he was” and “how on it” he always was.
I saw on Instagram he did another wedding the very next day, but that didn’t stop him from still posting a photo from ours within two days & having our sneak peaks back in six!!! Yes, six days!!
We cannot imagine our wedding without having Joshua as our photographer. I cannot recommend this man enough!! Worth every single cent. Thank you josh, for capturing our very special day & then some!
Joshua worked tirelessly to commemorate my daughter’s wedding. He took tons of photos and made some very creative settings. He was always around but managed to stay out of the way...
and unobtrusive.
If you are looking for a great event photographer, I would highly recommend Joshua. He was awesome to work with and his prices were very fair. The photos are amazing.
Joshua is INCREDIBLE!!! We knew we wanted more unique photos rather than the traditional wedding photos and Joshua Grasso Photography nailed it! The planning and coordination pro...
cess was seamless - they have a variety of packages for every budget, checked in regularly, and were always available for questions with a timely response. Joshua Grasso Photography made everyone feel extremely comfortable and captured all the special moments. The photographs were ready very quickly and they even made a photo video that brought us to tears on our honeymoon. Cannot recommend Joshua enough and will certainly use them again for photo sessions in the future! THANK YOU JOSHUA!
Joshua was fantastic. He was everywhere and nowhere at the same time. He got so many shots, I swear he never stopped taking photos. He was professional and made everyone feel comfo...
rtable and just went with the flow of the evening. A great addition to our wedding and the sneak peak we received is stunning. I seriously can't say enough good things. Book him!
Commending Our Wedding Photographer and Their Exceptional Work

ua remained in contact with us and his exceptional work left us in tears when we saw the final product! He and his colleague arrived on time on our wedding day to capture every moment and we couldn't be more impressed with the results. Not only did they capture everything we wanted, but they went above and beyond our expectations. Our wedding party has spoken highly of their experience with Joshua. We are beyond delighted with the service provided by Joshua Grasso and eagerly anticipate working with them again in the future.
Josh was amazing the entire time for both our engagement and wedding photos. We ended up dancing in the rain during our reception, and he was by our side getting soaked with us! We...

ement session. We loved our photos so much we even had murals made from a few of them for our wedding. On wedding day, he was awesome! Whatever pictures we wanted, he would shoot. He had great ideas for photos and where to take them. When we received our preview from him, I was in awe! The pictures brought tears to me eyes. They were all stunning!! He goes outside the box and gives you pictures that aren’t just the basic, which is exactly what we wanted. I would highly recommend Joshua!!
Stop looking for your photographer! You already found him! I wish I could give Joshua 100 stars. As a wedding photographer myself, I was stressed about finding someone I could trus...
t. Joshua made it so easy! From our initial conversation I instantly knew we had to book him! He was helpful throughout the planning, checked in consistently and the photos are AMAZING. From happy tears to throwing it down on the dance floor… he captured it all PERFECTLY. Thank you for making our wedding photo dreams come true!!

y he comes so highly recommended and is very deserving of the rewards he has received! We’ve received our photos and are already beyond impressed. They are absolutely phenomenal! Joshua went above and beyond to make sure our photography needs were met. He paid specific attention to every detail and he nailed it. Every single one of the thousands of photos turned out absolutely beautiful and better than we could have imagined. He really captured what we valued most and his pictures tell the perfect story of our perfect day! Him along with Ben Lipford for videography are HIGHLY recommended!
Joshua is INCREDIBLE to work with. We hired him for our engagement shoot and wedding. Our guests were so impressed with his ability to be everywhere all at once! haha! He truly cap...
tures the essence of the wedding on film. And his creative eye is spectacular! I had a couple ideas for some more "artsy" shots and he just blew us away!!!! Better than I ever could have hoped for. I have family and friends ready to hire him for their family shoots as well! He's not only an impeccable artist, but just an overall great guy too.
Joshua did a GREAT job capturing our wedding. We told him we really cared about the sentimental moments, and he got every single one on camera. My husband and I are awful at posing...
for photos, and he somehow made ours come out looking effortless and beautiful. All of our guests commented on how on top of every shot he was. He would sprint clear across the room if he saw something he wanted to photograph. Amazing!
Joshua is a fantastic photographer! The process working with him was smooth and he was personable. On the day of wedding he spent just about every moment capturing memories. The p...
hotos we have received were phenomenal and my wife has watched the video he sent us almost a hundred times so far. If you want quality and quantity Joshua is the photographer you want.

If I could give Josh 10 stars I would. We found him at a wedding expo and his booth said "I make people cry" so we were immediately attracted. He seemed very cool and a little mo...
re offbeat than the other photographers there, which matched us well. He did our engagement shoot and we were absolutely AMAZED at how well the pictures came out. He is SO easy to work with and has great ideas. Our wedding day was very stressful but Josh got there early and took probably 10,000 photos starting around 1:45 and didn't stop until we left the venue at 11pm. He is professional, extremely nice, and was a calming presence on that day We had SO MUCH FUN with him and he really captured the fun and intimacy of our wedding. People are raving about our photos so far and we only have a sneak peek of about 60 photos. I cannot recommend him enough - once you hire him you don't have to worry about a THING. He will tell you how to pose and where to go for posed shots and then during your wedding he will just be everywhere all the time getting the most amazing shots you can imagine. Turnaround time is very quick as well. I honestly don't think I could have chosen a better photographer. He absolutely killed it. I have absolutely nothing negative to say about the experience. The cost is worth every cent!
Joshua was incredible for our engagement and wedding photos! He has a unique style and has a keen eye for finding spots for unique shots. He made my now husband and I feel super co...
mfortable. Joshua was definitely our best investment during the wedding process because these photos will keep those happy memories alive forever.
Joshua was so great to work with! He was on time, professional but fun, and he gave us great direction when we were taking pictures so we never felt awkward in front of the camera....
Our pictures turned out so beautifully and weren't boring or stuffy. We highly recommend Joshua for your wedding day!
Joshua is incredibly kind and helpful. Throughout the whole wedding planning process he offered his support with planning guides, phone calls and check ins. He was very helpful wit...
h customizing our photography package as well. On the day of the wedding, Joshua and his second photographer were on time and took beautiful pictures. They were present at all times during the day and jumped in to take candid and posed throughout the day. We loved working with Joshua and highly recommend his services.
Joshua was the best vendor that we hired and I highly recommend him to anyone in need of a photographer.
From the beginning he was very good with communication and very organize...
d. He was able to answer all my questions and make suggestions as well. He has a good way of listening to you and what you’re looking for and then bringing in his artistry.
Joshua was very professional the day of and did everything that we wanted him to, plus more. He had a great eye for where to take pictures. There were a few times I thought “why are we taking a picture here?” and then when we got the finished product and I saw those pictures I thought “Wow! I would have never thought of that and it’s amazing!” He’s great at telling the story of the day through photos.
Seriously, I can’t recommend Joshua enough! Shortly after our wedding one of my bridesmaids got engaged and out of all our vendors, I was most insistent that she hire Joshua (and she did!). He’s so easy to get along with and his work is breathtaking!
Josh’s photos really do make people cry, as his tagline promises. Seriously, more than one of my co-workers have reported crying after looking at our sneak peak (which we only wait...
ed maybe 5 days for? We were blown away at how quickly Josh provided so many photos of our wedding!!). He has such a gift, and has the most respectful way of capturing moments and sharing them. Josh is easy to work with and communicate with. He blended into our wedding day so easily. We felt like an old friend was helping take some photos because he has such an ease about him and took the time to get to know us. It is clear that Josh is passionate about his craft and always wanting to get better and learn more, which demonstrates his humility because he is one of the best!! We could not be more thankful that he was available on our wedding day and that we got to work with him. We were also blown away at the amount of incredible shots that he also got of our guests. It’s amazing to see our wedding from the viewpoint of so many others : my Grandfather, my Mother in Law, our Nieces and Nephews, our friends… Josh was attentive to everyone who took time to be a part of our special day and we are so excited we can share snapshots of our loved ones that might make THEM cry. Josh’s photos will be all over all our walls for years to come. If you have the opportunity to work with Josh, you simply need to.
He is an incredible professional and human being, he has an indescribable talent and has the ability to capture those details in images that no one else is able to see. His work I ...
can only describe it as magical. I was a photographer by profession and Joshua is one of the best photographers, if not the best photographer, I have ever met. It was an honor to have you at my wedding! a big hug Joshua. You are now the official photographer of my family
STOP SEARCHING THIS IS YOUR PHOTOGRAPHER!!! Joshua brings everything one could want to his art work. He truly captures all the moments that you didn't know you wanted! He is also n...
ot your typical run of the mill photographer. He adds life a color too his edited photos to really add to the moments that he captures. In addition he works quickly to get you sneak peaks within days and even during wedding season never missed a beat with communication. He would check in from time to time, had vlogs on what you would like to capture in your wedding, and will just check in to see how the process is going. Truly with every penny and I look forward to using him for our future life events :)
Joshua was perfect for our wedding photographs. He was on time, respectful, kind to all our family, and captured each moment perfectly! I have been a guest at two previous wedd...
ings he has photographed and loved those pictures. He did not disappoint! Our preview video is amazing and we can’t wait to see the rest! Joshua was by far, the best vendor in our day!
Josh and his team are truly rockstars. We would absolutely recommend him for your event. He is amazing to work with. Josh is extremely nice, passionate, personable, and respectful...
. His team provided their vast knowledge and expertise when we had questions. We wanted someone whose style could capture the raw emotion and beauty in between the lines and Josh went well beyond our expectations. We would hire him in a heartbeat for our next event. Thank you again Josh!!!
We first met Josh at a bridal show about 12 months prior to our wedding date. His beautiful display booth and immaculate portraits were what originally drew us to him. His displays...
were SO nice that we originally thought there was no way we could possibly afford to hire him. But after speaking with Josh for just a few brief moments at the booth, we were instantly attracted to his personality and we found out that his prices were more than reasonable. After finding the right package for us and signing a contract, we set up an engagement shoot with Josh. This was such an awesome experience and we highly recommend this to future couples as the engagement shoot helped us to establish a great chemistry and rapport with Josh that really helped ease our nerves on Wedding Day. Josh is so easy to work with and he gives excellent guidance and direction during his shoots while still keeping everything fun and light-hearted. This is extremely important for couples who haven't been in front of a professional camera before because it can be a very awkward situation if all parties involved are not on the same page. Working with Josh felt so natural and effortless. He was punctual, professional, and personable throughout the entire process and his communication was always on point.
Thank you so much for such a memorable and awesome experience. You have provided us with moments that we and our families will cherish forever!
Josh and his sidekick MoMo were everything you would want in wedding photographers. Cool, genuine people with a GREAT eye for amazing photos. They were everywhere and nowhere at ...
the same time. All of my family and friends really enjoyed them as people but more importantly they have really enjoyed their work. 100% recommended.
Joshua is the best! He shot my sisters wedding 6 years ago and we loved him so much we had to use him again. He gets the best candies that truly capture the joy and emotion of the ...
event. He also does a great job of capturing the moments without getting in the way which I feel like it an impressive skill. I can’t recommend him enough!
Joshua was the sweetest and kindest photographer to work with. He listened to my husbands wants and needs exactly. As I tell people he listened too good! Which is a great thing! I ...
will be hiring him for future photo sessions! He got our sneak peeks to us in a week! And I can’t wait to see the rest! Highly recommend!
Choosing the right photographer was probably one of, if not the most important decision we made for our wedding. And we chose RIGHT! Joshua is an absolute pro. He is somehow able t...
o be everywhere at once, capturing the real, unfiltered, emotion of your wedding day. If you're looking for a photographer who will go above and beyond the standard portraits -- who will capture the light in yours and your loved ones eyes on your big day -- Joshua is your guy! Trust me! Thank you Joshua!!! -- Kaitlin and Alex
We absolutely loved having Joshua as our photographer. We were looking for someone whose style was a bit more playful and could better capture the unscripted/non-posed moments of t...
he wedding and he did a killer job. He made us feel very comfortable behind the camera and got some unique shots in addition to the typical posed images. Could not recommend him highly enough.
If you're looking to be absolutely blown away by your wedding photos - book Joshua. If you're looking for someone with great communication - book Joshua. If you're looking for some...
one who can make the whole process comfortable and effortless - you guessed it, book Joshua!
I met Joshua at a bridal show in Atlanta in January 2018. I absolutely loved the work he had on display and talking with him made it so clear that photography is his passion. I was thrilled when we were able to book Joshua to shoot our June 2019 wedding for us. He was prompt, personable, funny and efficient. My husband hates having photos done, but he raved about how easy it was to work with Joshua on our big day.
I could go on an on, but really just looking at Joshua's work should be more than enough to convince someone to book him for those special events you want captured beautifully. The guy is amazing at what he does!
Joshua is the most down to earth, easy going, attentive, detail-oriented photographer! He photographed our wedding and now we have the most beautiful memories to keep with us! From...
formal group photos, to our first-look, to super cool candid dance floor shots — he does it all. Looking through our gallery, I’m not even sure how/when he took all the photos. He was so good at being discrete, yet capturing so many important moments of our celebration! The photos are BEAUTIFUL and I highly recommend!!! Thank you Joshua!
