JOSLYN! I cannot recommend her enough. If you're lucky enough to get on her books, DO IT. She's not only an amazing human, she's insanely talented. She delivered our gallery is record time and every single image is PERFECT. I hired her over a year out and she was commutative and helpful every step of the way. I just love her.
We selected Joslyn as our wedding photographer and are so so glad we did so. Joslyn was amazing to work with throughout the entire process and our photos were GORGEOUS!! She was so communicative throughout the entire planning process and took the time to address any questions or concerns I had. Joslyn was also a blast to be around on the wedding day, she made taking photos with large groups of family and friends so easy and fun and I couldn't recommend her enough!
Joslyn and her second shooter (her daughter, Abby) were absolutely amazing. They wrangled our entirely too-large bridal party and took really beautiful photos & moments. We got our sneak peek within 2 weeks after our wedding of about 50 photos, which was so incredible for us to go back and re-live those moments (and see some moments we didn't even see in person!). Highly recommend!
My wedding was this past weekend on 4/17/21. Joslyn was an absolute dream to work with. She has such a talented eye for photography. I love her light and airy style of shooting. She was so patient with me and my fiancé on our day! She helped us with posing and made us feel so comfortable. Not only is she a great photographer, she is awesome to have by your side during the day. She clamed me down during a slight bridal panic moment and even helped button my dress. She got us sneak peeks within two days of the wedding. The styled shots (venue, flowers, tables) are gorgeous!! I seriously can not wait to get the rest of the pictures back. She used a mix of digital and film which I thought was super cool. (I love photography so I thought this was unique). If you are still reading, do yourself a favor and book with Joslyn.
Joslyn, from the bottom of my heart, thank you for working with us on our big day. You were amazing and I can not wait to see more :)
I truly cannot say enough good things about Joslyn! We had to reschedule our wedding twice due to COVID and lost our original photographer. We were so incredibly thankful for the silver lining that was finding Joslyn because she is the BEST! She and her daughter Abby, who was her second shooter, were so freaking talented and sweet. We just got our photos back last week (after only 3.5 weeks!), and my husband and I had the best time reliving the day through them. They are absolutely gorgeous and so happy and joyful. The bright and airy colors really reflected the joy of the day. They did an incredible job capturing all of the best moments of the day - the candid moments, our first look, the posed pictures, the details, and of course the fun dance floor pictures! All of our family members have loved every picture and commented on how well she captured the day. She thought of truly everything for the photos, and she has an amazing eye! We will treasure our pictures forever!
I truly don't feel like 5 stars is enough - I wish I could give Joslyn 10 times that! Her photos are so beautiful, light, and airy and really...just perfection. She is super responsive, has a quick turnaround time, and made my husband and I feel SO comfortable from the time we took our engagements to our wedding day. She even picked sticker burrs out of my feet and dress when I couldn't do it myself! Not to mention, she shot our engagement photos in 110 degree weather and they somehow still turned out SO incredibly beautiful - she is seriously so talented! On top of being so professional, she is so kind, funny, warm and just an overall joy to be around and makes the process so much fun! (so is her daughter, who was our second shooter!) If you have the opportunity to book her, DO IT!
If I could give Joslyn 10 stars I would! Truly, if you have the opportunity to have Joslyn capture your big day do it!! From start to end the process with Joslyn and the final product was perfection. Joslyn is responsive and communicative. She is both talented and knowledgeable. We love our photos and Joslyn really goes above and beyond- her work is art and the beauty shows in the way we she captures the tiny details and the big moments. Amidst Covid, Joslyn was flexible and always took precautions to make everyone feel safe. She is a gem of a human and I will certainly be recommending her to all my friends and family!!
We loved our engagement and wedding photos! Joslyn captured all of our special moments so beautifully! She was so easy to work with and she worked diligently to help manage our timeline the day of the wedding. She made us and our wedding party feel so comfortable and relaxed for our photos. We have already received so many compliments on our photos. Her attention to detail was meticulous. We highly recommend her and will cherish our photos forever!
I can't even put into words what Joslyn has done for me. From our first FaceTime meeting when we just clicked, to today where I feel comfortable texting here.. I'm coming away with more than just a wedding photographer. Not only was she patient, she was also super flexible and compassionate with all our rescheduling thanks to covid. Her photos alone should be reason enough to book her, but if you want someone who goes above and beyond.. she's your lady!
I cannot speak highly enough on Joslyn. Her light and airy style is one no one can compare to. She is an absolute JOY to work with. After postponing our wedding due to COVID, Joslyn was there working alongside us to make our day so incredibly special. Joslyn truly cares about each one of her clients and insures her photos are excellent quality. I cannot say enough great things about her! If you are considering hiring Joslyn, do it, you will not be disappointed in the slightest!
I couldn't even begin to describe how amazing Joslyn was. As soon as we sat down with her for the first time, we knew she was awesome. She did our engagement photos and made us so comfortable in front of the camera. She even let us include our dog in the pictures and was super excited about it! On the wedding day, she made everything so easy and it was such a joy to work with her. We just got our pictures back and every single one is absolutely amazing and perfect. She captured everything we wanted and more and we're so happy to have perfect pictures to look back on for the rest of our lives. Do not hesitate to hire Joslyn, it was the best decision we made!!
I don’t have enough incredible things to say about Joslyn! From her work ethic, to her fun second shooter :), to her creativity, to the quality of her pictures, she is top notch. She was committed to helping us capture our wedding day exactly how we wanted it, and took all the stress out of the process for us. Joslyn made us feel so comfortable and natural while taking pictures, and our pictures are STUNNING. If I could give more than 5 stars I absolutely would. My husband and I feel unbelievably fortunate to have found Joslyn and for the wonderful memories we have of our wedding thanks to her photography!!
I couldn't describe a wedding photographer better than Joslyn!! She is beyond amazing and everything I could look for in a photographer. If she can make my 6'7" football playing fiancé smile for engagement photos in July in Texas she can do ANYTHING. She was so enjoyable throughout the entire experience and had my vision in mind after a short conversation. Before the wedding day we were able to fill out forms of certain photos we wanted, etc. which made the pictures on the day of so easy. She captured everything I wanted and I will cherish these photos for many years to come. I had multiple guests of mine come up and tell me how much of a joy Joslyn and her husband, Bud, were to be around. I am forever telling all of my friends and family getting married to book Joslyn as their wedding photographer because I know they will not be disappointed!
Just book Joslyn right now!! Not only is she the sweetest human on the planet, but she's extremely talented! All of our photos turned out so beautiful! We had full confidence that she wasn't going to miss a beat at any point on our wedding day! Her positive attitude and calming demeanor thought the entire day made our day that much easier! I can't recommend Joslyn enough!
10 stars! Joslyn Holtfort is so patient, kind, professional and really adds that personal touch to her photos. We really enjoyed how easy and comfortable we felt working with her in just a short amount of time. We only worked with her during wedding photos but would highly recommend for engagement as well!
Her attention to light, angles and details is incredible. I gave her a challenge with squeezing in ideas/photos that inspired me and she was able to capture them all and more! I had a wedding dress emergency and she came through! From the time we scheduled to our wedding, she was always available for any questions. Thank you Joslyn for all your hard work and making my day perfect!
Joslyn is absolutely amazing! She did our engagement and wedding photography and she was a joy to work with. Firstly, she is an amazing photographer and I love her aesthetic. But most importantly she's an awesome human. She is super sweet and is great at getting you to feel comfortable. I would highly recommend her!
Working with Joslyn was one of the best choices we made for our wedding day. She was so knowledgeable, knew our venue SO well and made everyone feel so comfortable. She kept everyone on schedule and made the photography process absolutely effortless. From the moment we met, I knew we were in good hands. She also took my bridal portraits about 6 weeks before our wedding and did a spectacular job!! I seriously couldn't believe how every picture turned out so perfect! I can't recommend Joslyn enough, she's a natural.
Truly could not have found a more thoughtful, organized, and creative photographer - Joslyn has it all! My husband and I did a lot of research on photographers, but Joslyn was the first and only one we met with. Whether you're talking through details with her or you're in the middle of getting your portraits taken, her sweet, yet spunky personality will make you feel so confident and at ease. We loved working with Joslyn and we couldn't be more pleased with how our photos turned out!
Searching for a photographer was the most time consuming part of wedding planning. Finally, we came across Joslyn and we are so thankful that we did! She took our engagement photos and traveled to San Antonio for our wedding. The photos turned out better than we expected. I would recommend her to anyone I know that is searching high and low for a great, quality photographer. She is professional, responsive, friendly, accommodating and becomes a friend when it is all said and done! Book her now before someone else does!
There aren't enough beautiful words for me to describe how I feel about working with Joslyn. She was always so easy and flexible to work with for both our engagement pictures and wedding photos. We live in Houston, but got married in Dripping Springs and decided to have our engagement photos in Houston. She drove down from Austin and even without seeing the locations we took our engagement pictures before, she absolutely killed it. I knew from the moment I saw Joslyn's website I wanted her to be my photographer and she did not disappoint. I've only gotten my engagement pictures and sneak peak pictures back from the wedding and they're all so absolutely beautiful I cannot wait for the rest.
Brag moments for Joslyn:
- she brought a sewing kit, and when one of my buttons popped off SHE sewed it on for me.
- She brought so many accessories for my detail photos such as ring box and made them look absolutely gorgeous.
Joslyn truly cares about her clients and her work and I am so happy to have had her for our special day.
Working with Joslyn felt like working with my cooler, artistic aunt. She worked seamlessly with me and my husband and made us feel like family. My husband HATES taking pictures and as a result always closes his eyes/ looks super awkward in photos (lolz) and Joslyn had a magical way of making him feel so comfortable, using natural motion to just help him tap into being himself & it created so much more of a natural/ authentic vibe of our pictures. I also LOVED the brightness and exposure Joslyn is able to create in her photos -- I'm a very Type A, picky person and everything Joslyn created for us from start to finish was perfect, she's a natural at her job. We shot our engagement photos in November and it was a little cloudy/ had some rain and Joslyn brought some cute, see through umbrellas for us to use as impromptu photo props and they turned out so cute we used them in our save-the-dates! Leading up to our wedding, she was always SO responsive and helped us made sure our timeline made sense and didn't sacrifice the things that were most important to us. I loved that she gave us a little 'sneak peek' for our wedding photos, it was a fun treat while we were on our honeymoon! The pictures look so perfect and are truly something we will treasure for the rest of our LIVES. I can't express how grateful I am to Joslyn for capturing the wedding of our DREAMS!! I'm already thinking of future life moments we can have her capture for us (family Christmas photos/ newborn pictures), I loved her style and Joslyn is a genuine human being that wants to make couples feel treasured and special on their wedding day. thank you, Joslyn!!!
Joslyn is amazing! She’s super friendly, organized, and taking engagement photos was a blast. She captured such special moments with family and friends during our wedding, photos that I will cherish forever. I can’t thank her enough for the wonderful job she did! We will absolutely be working with her in the future for family photos as well! Thank you Jos!
Joslyn was amazing from start to finish. We had met with a few other photographers and were feeling uninspired (they were very pushy about how they thought our timeline should go and even made comments about leaving early bc no one needs a ton of dance photos etc..) but after meeting Joslyn we were sure she was the one! She made us and our guests feel very comfortable - everyone was super complimentary of her and the second photographer she brought. People also raved nonstop about loving the photos - a friend already booked her for his upcoming wedding. Book her now!
Joslyn is incredible! Apart from her photography being amazing, she is so kind and professional and makes you feel like you’re talking to a friend! Could not have been happier with the way our photographs turned out. Thanks again Joslyn for capturing our special day! Xoxo
Do yourself a favor and hire Joslyn right now! Her stellar work speaks for itself and she's just an all-around great human. We were so comfortable around her right away that another vendor assumed we had hired a longtime friend to do our photography! Joslyn is a calm presence, gives great directions, and truly helps you feel like yourself on what can be a very hectic day. She's an amazing photographer and we also saw her help out in many other ways that were technically not part of her job, just because she cared about our wedding day. Joslyn is genuine, warm, fun to be around and that comes through in the photos she takes... you won't regret hiring her!
Joslyn was literally a life-saver for us! Having to find a new photographer after our initial engagement photos turned out poorly, we were slightly discouraged at the prospects until we came across Joslyn’s positive and kind-hearted personality. She scheduled a get-to-know each other meeting which settled all of our fears and shared all of her wedding experiences reassuring us she would make photographs on the wedding day as easy as possible. She was always quick in responding and provided her expertise when needed. Our engagement photos re-take turned out so beautifully, especially as she waited for the perfect moment to capture us with downtown in the background (thanks again for travelling to us). Our wedding photos were even more exceptional! Joslyn is a sweetheart and made taking all the photos painless. Thank you so much, Joslyn!!
We are absolutely in love with our wedding photos! Joslyn captured our day perfectly and was a joy to work with. She is very thoughtful, organized and easy to communicate with. On the day of our wedding, she kept things running smoothly and on time, and was exceptional at interacting with our family and friends. We felt very at ease in front of the camera with her in charge! I also love that she and her assistant devoted time to lots of detail shots - these are so fun to remember the day by. There's not a single shot we still wish we had...she didn't miss a thing! We highly recommend Joslyn.
There really are not enough words to describe how amazing Joslyn is. From our first meeting at a coffee shop to emailing after the wedding, Joslyn has been nothing short of perfection. The night of the wedding I remember telling my husband that Joslyn was so good that I didn't even remember seeing her run around the place! Joslyn made sure to capture moments that make me cry just THINKING about the photo. Not only is Joslyn fantastic, her daughter, Abby, is an AMAZING photographer as well who got great shots of our day. On the wedding day, I had small fires such as a wrinkly veil, small tear in my dress, and a little dirt on the bottom from taking pictures outside. Abby sprung into action and became an honorary bridesmaid by saving the day! When choosing vendors, we were so nervous about picking the right one. Joslyn was the best vendor decision we made, hands down. Our family and guests are still raving about how amazing Joslyn was and we are too. If you are looking for a photographer, stop looking and email Joslyn. Seriously, stop reading and email her, now. Our images are timeless, warm, and beyond our wildest dreams. Joslyn, from the bottom of our oh so grateful hearts, thank you, for everything.
Wow, where to begin? We first met Joslyn at a cute coffee shop in Austin and she is the absolute sweetest woman. For one, we expected so much out of our photos because we did not get a videographer - and she achieved the unexpected!! We are seriously so in love with out photos - they are romantic, elegant, and timeless! We used Joslyn for our save the date photos and the wedding photos and she far exceeded our expectation. She even printed our most favorites on the cutest white boarded prints. We had two photographers for our wedding and they both worked their magic. So organized and managed time well on the wedding day. Got all of our shots in quickly so we could get to the party!
After the wedding, the photos took about 4-6 weeks before we got our hands on the prints (which for 1000+ pictures, that is no time at all), she sent the USB drive of ALL photos and our prints in the most adorable package. It melted my heart. We were super impressed with the whole process and we adore our photos! Thank you, Joslyn!
Best Photographer Ever!!
She was amazing, from our first meeting with her to even after the wedding is over. She was very helpful and knew exactly what we were wanting in our photos. We gave her an idea and she ran with it!! I loved working with her and she made it so easy to feel comfortable as we went through the photo shoots. The bridal shoot was the best! It was easy, she picked a BEAUTIFUL location that matched my ideas, and she helped me with my dress. The entire shoot was a blast and we had so much fun laughing and enjoying the beautiful day together! I could not imagine anything else that I could have wanted.
During the wedding, she was always on point and never missed an important shot. She made sure that we had our “specialized” photos done at specific times and also made sure we didn’t miss any meaningful ones that we would think about later on.
She always checked in with me and made sure that I was doing alright (outside of just the photos). She is so thoughtful and sweet.
She is amazing! She has great ideas for poses/placements that turned out to be our FAVORITE photos! We were open to anything she wanted to try and the photos all came out great.
I knew that I did not have to worry about my products after she was done editing them. 100% the best in the business.
Even months later, she still keeps in contact.
We love her and we love ALL of our photos!!
There is no one else I would have rather had photograph my wedding besides this gem...she was thoughtful, punctual and just so fun to be around that day. She eased my nerves and really made my whole day go so smoothly. Our pictures are all over our house...they are so beautiful thanks to the wonder Joslyn <3
Highly reccomend Joslyn! Great & easy going personality with the ability to find the beauty in every shot she takes! Extremely happy with my photos and the cute box with prints included in her package was icing on the cake!!
After meeting with a number of photographers Joslyn was such a breath of fresh air that we could not pass up the opportunity to work with her. She fulfilled all of our expectations and more. Joslyn was more than accommodating/patient as she worked with us to get amazing shots at the engagement shoot.
At the wedding, Joslyn was able to tell a beautiful story through the candid photos, as well as capture all of the traditional shots effortlessly.
We have had such great feedback on the prints from both friends and family and have recommended her to a number of other couples.
Thank you so much for everything Joslyn, it was an absolute joy having you take part in our wedding.
We can't say enough good things about Joslyn. She put so much time and effort into all of our pictures. She picked a great spot for our engagement photos, she was so fun to work with and easy to get to know and love. She came to my parents house to get the sweetest photos of us all getting ready the morning of. She worked hard to get a variety of photos that I knew my family would love as well as myself and my husband. One thing I especially appreciated was that she captured beautiful candid photos of our guests and family which was important to me to have. She has a great eye and can be trusted to deliver exactly what you are wanting. There is truly nothing that I felt that she missed. We loved working with her and we loved our photos!
Joslyn was the perfect photographer for our wedding. She was 100% professional and took stunning photographs. She even gave great advice and answered any questions we had on the day of the wedding (like where to keep my engagement ring during the ceremony, etc...). She was a joy to be around, and had such a great way of interacting with our guests and us! Our photos came out wonderfully, and we're so grateful she was our photographer on our special day.
Joslyn was our *favorite vendor* on the day of our wedding. Her presence was calm and efficient, relaxed and direct, supportive and humorous. Leading up to the wedding, we communicated a few times on the types of shots we wanted the most, like our first look. Sometimes during the day, she had to push back on people who were wanting to interrupt, and she took special care to linger longer on those moments that meant most to us. That careful attention sure paid off! The variety and quality of our first look and couple shots are just incredible. We also had a specific list of the various “group” family photos, and with a predetermined game plan, we were able to breeze through them efficiently. The only thing we would have done differently with Joslyn is carve out more hours for her! She is so good at capturing moments and we wished we would have put money aside for another hour or two. Book her the first chance you get!
I feel grateful that we had someone SO talented photographing our wedding day. Joslyn did a phenomenal job and truly exceeded our expectations. She captured every little detail is the most beautiful way. If you want your special day done right, you have to go with Joslyn. Her work is incredible and her portfolio will speak for itself. Not only is she the best photographer, she is super kind and personable to work with. I couldn't be happier with the whole experience. Thank you Joslyn!!
Joslyn was AMAZING! I don’t think words could even describe how unbelievably pleased we were with her photography services from the day we booked to the day we got our gorgeous photos after the wedding. She is kind and professional and will go out of her way to make sure you are 110% satisfied with the quality of photos you will receive. Her personality is relaxed so you will feel at ease throughout all your photo sessions, making for the most beautiful, natural-looking photos. She is a pro when it comes to harnessing the natural light in a space, making for some of the most dreamy wedding photos you’ll ever see. Her personal touches were the icing on the cake. And to top it all off, she is so, so, so much fun to be around! Having Joslyn as the photographer at our wedding, made it feel like we were just hanging out with another close family friend. I would highly recommend Joslyn to any couple looking for a spectacular photographer!!
We were so fortunate to have Joslyn photograph our wedding and engagement. Her style is beautiful and she is truly a professional on the day of the event. Highly recommend her.
Joslyn was simply fantastic, and her photos will forever be cherished. She had such a wonderful presence at our wedding, and made everyone feel comfortable! Highly recommend!
Joslyn was absolutely amazing from start to finish! She Skyped with me for almost an hour before I even booked her, just to make sure I was comfortable with her services. She was clearly a pro on the day of, dealing with our huge bridal party and extended family was no easy task! And our pictures were breathtaking and more than I could have dreamed of. Her packages and pricing were also spot-on. I could not be more thankful to Joslyn and her daughter for capturing our day!!
I was so so glad to have hired Joslyn to shoot our wedding this past weekend. She was nothing short of amazing! Joslyn was helpful planning the timeline, kept things on track throughout the day, and made everyone feel comfortable while taking our pictures. The pictures she takes timeless and romantic, I can't wait to see how the entire album turns out! I would highly recommend trusting Joslyn to capture the most important moments on your special day!
Joslyn was so much fun to work with, she was very flexible and low stress but still kept us moving along when we needed it. I am absolutely in love with my photographs, not only did she help make my wedding that much more fun and enjoyable, now I have these amazing photos to cherish forever. I would highly recommend hiring her!
Joslyn is an absolute dream to work with. She is reliable, sweet, funny and patient. She was perfect for our eclectic wedding party. Also, I'm not the most photogenic person, but Josyln has an incredible ability to capture the moment perfectly. My wedding photos clearly display the fun and quirky, Austin-centric wedding I was going for. Folks have LOVED the gifts we’ve made from the collection. I’ve requested Joslyn for a number of shoots in addition to my wedding. Most recently we did a boudoir shoot that made a fabulous Valentine’s Day gift for my husband. She helped me feel comfortable throughout the shoot and laid out a gorgeous, high-quality album. I couldn't be happier!
If you're looking for timeless photos with that "wow" factor then Joslyn is the perfect choice for your wedding photography. Her work speaks for itself but get to know her a little and you'll also be so glad she's a part of your special day. I can't say enough great things about Joslyn and the stunning work she does.
So, so glad to have had Joslyn there on my wedding. Not only did she help me with my timeline she also pinned on flowers and laced up my corset dress. The photos are gorgeous and she was a calming, organized influence on our day! It wouldn't have been the same without her!
My husband and I are so thankful to have had Joslyn capture our wedding day and bridal shoot! Although our first time to meet in person was on the wedding day, she and her second shooter were organized and made everyone feel at ease right away. Our pictures turned out beautifully, and we owe it to Joslyn's natural talent, as well as keen eye for detail and lighting. If you consider photography to be one of the most important parts of your wedding, put Joslyn behind the lens. It will one of the best decisions you will make involving your wedding day! We are looking forward to using Joslyn for our photography needs in the years to come.
