Great photographer and easy to work with! We came from out of state to elope in Big Sur. Josh emailed with us to get all the details set before the big day. He gave us recommendations for officiants, as well. It rained the day of our wedding, and he offered to come back the next day to get more photos if we wanted.
Joshua exceeded our expectations. Our wedding album is just stunning and so so beautiful. We truly cannot thank him enough for the wonderful experience at the Carmel Mission. From the moment we saw his website we looked no further and booked him immediately (luckily he was available).

I've been photographing weddings, elopements, & engagements for over 6 years professionally. I've been lucky enough to document some incredible stories throughout Hawaii, Oregon, and now California, where I call home along the Monterey Peninsula.
Being from Oregon, I've always been attracted to the outdoors and as a result, my aesthetic emphasizes natural light & beautiful scenery in a way that provides a backbone to how I photograph and showcase every love story.The more I get to know myself and understand why I do, what I do, the more I realize that my real calling and passion is working with people.

All I can say is Josh is amazing. We had him as our photographer for our engagement photos and wedding photos. Josh is very easy going and quick to communicate back to you about arrangements. He works extremely well with other vendors and goes above and beyond. The day after our wedding and engagement photos he was able to provide us with a teaser of what the photos will look like and they were amazing! I HIGHLY recommend Josh and will be using him in future events. Seriously 10 out of 10. Thanks again Josh!

My fiancé and I had some last minute engagement shots taken by Josh while we were on vacation in Kauai. We are notorious among our friends and family for taking the worst and most awkward photos. We figured engagement shots should be a good warm up for the wedding. Josh was awesome. He picked a beautiful location. He was so calm, reassuring and gave great suggestions for candid and posed photos. He had them back to us in two and a half weeks (he's fast!) and they are just beautiful. There are so many wonderful candid shots that we can't possibly pick just one or two. He took a couple

Working with Joshua was a dream. He is a very thoughtful and talented photographer. He was timely, flexible, accommodating, friendly, and easy to work with. He reflected calm and support adding absolutely no stress to our busy day. We absolutely love the photos he captured of our wedding and would recommend him without hesitation. Thank you Joshua!

Josh is so nice and low key, within minutes it felt like an easy-going friend was joining us with a camera. We posed for a few but for the most part just enjoyed the ceremony and the beach while Josh stood by and captured the magic. Whereas being photographed can feel awkward (at least for me), we didn't feel awkward at all, felt natural.
Within weeks Josh sent a link so we could download the edited photos and I was blown away. Natural, joyful, tender, beautifully composed and lit, simply stunning. Josh expertly told the story of our wedding and captured us a couple. I get permasmile

We booked Josh for a family shoot - three kids, six adults - near our condo in Poipu Kai.
Josh picked a great location for our shoot (Shipwreck beach) and everything went really smoothly on the day of. He was good with the kids and definitely had good ideas in mind for where to actually set us up and what to have us do. He was very low key and I have to admit I wasn't sure if his laid back approach would have super results - it just went so easily compared to other family shoots I've been a part of.
Well, the final results were great. Everyone looks good and he even got the kids to

We booked Josh for our small wedding on Hanalei Bay. Not all photographers will do a small event. I enjoyed Josh through the entire process; from first email, to organizing and planning, to Wedding Day, day after and delivering the pictures. First of all, I didn't have to think about him. He just did his job! Second of all, WWWWOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWW!! I couldn't have asked for more or for better. There were so many options of so many good pictures; I have about 180 saved for a photo album. Not to mention the ones we'll blow up into canvas. The pictures belong in a magazine, if I do say

I can not say enough about Joshua and his work as a photographer. I am a new bride who got married about 3 weeks ago. I chose Joshua to do my wedding photos on the cliff at Shipwreck's Beach near the Grand Hyatt. The shots came out beautiful and I received them around 2 weeks in an online gallery. We got 351 shots and we had him for the ceremony only which was around 1.5 hours in total. Now that I am reviewing them, I can not decide on which ones are my favorite as there are a lot of them! He has a creative eye and sees your ceremony in a special way. Joshua is incredibly sweet with soft and

We are so glad we chose Josh for our wedding/elopement ceremony in Kauai. My wife did a lot of research on local photogs and finally chose Josh. We met him right before the ceremony. I was a little apprehensive as a near stranger would be with us in one of most important moments. Josh, though, put us at ease - he was enthusiastic to be there, relaxed, curious, and knew when to step back and observe/shoot. The photos turned out amazing - all of our friends and family went out of their way to compliment them. We were lucky to have a rainbow and a beautiful sunset on the beach, and Josh captured

First off-- why am I not able to put a million stars here on Yelp?! Joshua is the best!! Do not even think twice if you are booking him for any photo session! If there is one word to describe his work it would be: ARTISTIC. Joshua's eye, skills and timing are impeccable!
One of the priorities I had when I went back home to Kauai to plan my wedding was finding a photographer to do our engagement shoot and possibly our wedding. Not knowing where to start-- I turned to social media and found myself looking through hash tags and came across Joshua's profile. Just looking at his shots on

My Husband and I wanted to have some "wedding" photos done during our stay in Kauai. We had a small civil ceremony a few weeks prior so we wanted to have something we could share with our family and friends. Josh was really great to work with. He made the whole experience very comfortable(my husband and I don't love taking pictures or being the center of attention:hence the elopement) He met us with a pretty good idea of when and where he wanted to shoot and what he wanted us to do which helped make the hour go by effortlessly.

Josh doesn't have a Yelp yet so I wanted to be the first to write about this guy! Me and the hubs had a civil ceremony in our hometown of San Diego but wanted some nice "wedding style" photos while we were in Kauai for our honeymoon.
First and foremost I reached out to about 3 other photographers on the island, the prices were a bit high for a short session. Also because I wasn't familiar with the area I asked the other photographers if they had any suggestions, most of them were pretty vague and didn't give me much feedback.
I e-mailed Josh via his website, he replied
