“Joe and his associate Maili were a perfect fit. Friends sent us their way while we were hunting for a photographer. Joe drove up from Maryland to meet us in Philadelphia and worked within our budget to shape a contract that included an engagement session—so helpful for getting comfortable and nailing the styles we liked. On the day, they seemed to be everywhere without ever stepping in the way. Previews arrived quickly, email replies were lightning fast, and the final gallery is gorgeous. These are the pictures we’ll reach for whenever we want to feel the day again.”

“Working with Joe was easy and fun. Our engagement and wedding photos are the kind we’ll treasure for years. He listened, stayed flexible with our group, and gave us a complete story of the day. We recommend him without hesitation.”
— B + J, Ellicott City, MD (2013)
“From our first meeting we were sold. Joe was quick to respond throughout planning, thoughtful with timelines, and the final images blew us away. He and Maili caught moments we didn’t even realize were happening. Couldn’t be happier.”
— L + J, Falls Church, VA (2013)
“I wanted candid images and very few posed frames—certainly no ‘now everyone laugh!’ shots. Joe got it exactly right. He was great over phone and email beforehand, then moved quietly in the background on the day. From the guys playing softball to the flower girls to portraits of the two of us, everything looks natural and alive.”
— C + G, Bartram’s Garden, Philadelphia, PA (2013)
“Joe and Maili were total pros. Guests kept remarking on how hard they worked and how quickly they moved. Our gallery came back fast and looked fantastic. We left the wedding feeling certain we’d chosen the right team.”

“My husband needed a photographer he’d feel relaxed around, and Joe was exactly that—down-to-earth and kind. I wanted real moments more than props, and he delivered frame after frame we didn’t even know he’d caught. It rained, and he stayed calm with a solid Plan B his assistant scouted in advance. He also delivered on every promise and timeline. Very happy.”

“Joe (and Miley) made the whole experience easy. Both my sister and I used him for our weddings. We felt awkward in front of the camera at first, but he put us at ease and found the good light and angles. Friends keep saying our images look like magazine spreads.”
— T + N, Gainesville, VA (2013)
“Joe handled our engagement and wedding photos and caught so many quiet moments we now cherish. He turned around edits quickly and—after checking with us—shared a few previews on his blog and Facebook so family could see while we were still on a high. Zero regrets.”

“We knew Joe from the local D.C. bike scene, but we hired him for the portfolio. He listened closely, followed the plan, and he and his associate were a joy to have around from getting-ready through the grand exit. A preview post was live by the time we reached our honeymoon. Can’t wait to see the full set.”
— S + D, Pippin Hill, Charlottesville, VA (2012)
“We wanted natural, easy photographs with no cheese. Joe was unobtrusive, calm, and professional. He captured the feeling of the day, and the album brings it back every time we open it. We recommend him wholeheartedly.”
— P + T, United Kingdom (2012)
“A friend introduced us, and we brought Joe to Pittsburgh after loving our engagement session. Joe and Maili covered everything while staying out of the way—during the ceremony we barely noticed them, yet the moments they caught are incredible.”
— D + E, Pittsburgh (2012)
“Joe even put together a simple photo-booth setup so our guests could play. He was flexible, creative, and the pictures are terrific.”
— A + K, Hewick Plantation, VA (2011)
“We were hit by a surprise October snowstorm. Joe didn’t miss a beat—he took us on a few quick adventures and made magic in the snow. He captured the mood of the day perfectly. Beautiful work and a pleasure to have around.”
— L + P, Philadelphia (2011)
“Responsive, organized, and fun. Joe and Maili were on point all day, and our images are classic—the kind you keep going back to.”
— P + M, Philadelphia (2011)
“Photography was our top priority, and Joe delivered. He caught expressions and connections that feel like our people, and even photographed the venue in a way that made distant friends feel present. Couldn’t be happier with the result.”
