I am a San Francisco wedding, portrait, and engagement photographer. When it comes to engagement photography, my goal is to capture your love and connection and create candid images.
Thank you for visiting and congratulations on your upcoming life event! Capturing this important and exciting moment by a professional photographer is a smart decision and I would be honored to help you with this. My name is Joseph and I have been a photographer in San Francisco Bay Area for over a decade.
Probably one of my all-time favorite spots for marriage proposal and engagement photos. We have a precise plan how to capture surprise proposal photos at Sutro Baths without arising any suspicions. This place has lots of hiding spots and limited amount of tourists! And that background! Let's plan your proposal!
We've captured so many beautiful proposals and while you never get tired of watching an amazement, excitement and joy of this once in a lifetime moment but some proposals are totally next level. So was this one! Not only we had an amazing floral setup at a tip of a Trojan Point but Peter arranged Sabrina's parents to show up at the right moment after the proposal.

Positive: Professionalism, Responsiveness
Joseph was great at communicating before, during and after the actual session with us and his photos/video look incredible. Instruction during the whole shoot after the surprise engagement was very helpful. His expertise was able to create an incredible moment for us and family to look upon for years to come.

My husband and I had been searching for our pre wedding / engagement photoshoot for a while and looking through several portfolios. When we came across the IQphotos portfolio we knew that was exactly what we wanted because we found it standing out, artistic and unique. Seeing the quality of work by Joseph we were ready to push our photoshoot budget up just because we absolutely wanted his way of capturing moments and details. Seeing the pictures now we are so happy that we came across this portfolio that day and decided on this.
Communication with Joseph and Marina Kohn was very easy and quick

My Fiance proposed to me at the top of Ina Coolbrith park and Joseph was casually taking photos without any suspicion, I thought he was just taking cool pics of the beautiful scenery. Little did I know, he was hired to take AMAZING PHOTOS!!! to capture a very special day! He was super professional but was also very personable, funny, and made us feel comfortable with taking the pics (although we were obviously awkward). I would highly recommend him, the turn around time for the images were quick and I couldn't believe how awesome they came out. They are also very responsive to emails and friendly

From the 1st communication with Joseph, I knew I was getting top notch service. Every step of the way he made the process smooth, easy and user friendly. Planning a proposal shoot from over 1000 miles away can be a little stressful. Joseph removed that stress with above bar professionalism, different location suggestions and insightful collaborative ideas. We couldn’t have asked for a better outcome. Even after multiple emails, edit and change requests Joseph made sure that we got exactly what we wanted. Our photos and video are exactly what we asked for and we are 110% satisfied. I would highly

My fiance and I recently commissioned IQ Photos for an engagement shoot, and they were fantastic! Coordination to schedule the shoot was smooth, and Joseph and team were fantastic photographers. He made the experience fun, creative, and special.
I would highly recommend them for special shoots like engagements or other occasions. We also have friends who used them as their wedding photographers and similarly felt great about the experience

I hired Joseph to capture my proposal. I was nervous about the planning part, but Joseph had great advice & put me at ease. The moment went off without a hitch, and the photos he captured were beautiful! My new fiancé absolutely loves them! The moment itself goes by so quickly, I felt it was very important to capture it. Mission accomplished!

I had an uncommon, indoor proposal idea that, in many ways, was not ideal for good photo quality. Many photographers cautioned me regarding the lack of good lighting, but I stubbornly insisted the moment happen as planned. Joseph worked with me to make the best of the situation, offering his input every step of the way. Our photos turned out phenomenally well! His expertise and professionalism were top-notch, and I would highly recommend IQphoto to anyone insisting on quality.

Joseph and the IQ photo team were fantastic at navigating City Hall, wranging family members for difficult shots, and making our ceremony memorable. His photos were unlike other wedding photos' I've seen before, and our photos were straight out of a pinterest board. He was funny, worked well with family members and guests of all ages, and his ability to take beautifully lit architectural shots were astounding.
For our ceremony, Joseph used multiple areas of City Hall, including those I didn't know existed, to take interesting photos, play off of the available sunlight, and produce great shots
