Documentary wedding Photographer
LOVE NOTE from a bride
Romantic. Pure. Joy. Friend.
We hired Josh as our videographer for our wedding, and in a beautiful twist of fate, he also became our lead photographer that day. Josh is nothing short of a true professional. He understood my vision for our wedding photos, but more than that, he elevated it.
Josh doesn’t just take pictures, he captures feelings. He’s kind, encouraging, and an artist in every sense of the word. He led the day with such light, calm, and grace that my husband and I will never forget it.
If you’re looking for a photographer and/or videographer who will advocate for you, bring your vision to life, and create art that feels alive...look no further. Josh is your person.
- C + F
As a local event planner and business owner, it’s always a pleasure to work with vendors who are not only talented but also collaborative and genuinely enjoyable to be around. Josh was all of that and more! He was incredibly responsive, offered thoughtful input, and made the entire process seamless.
His photography speaks for itself—absolutely top-notch. The couple who hired him were thrilled with the results, and it was clear he truly captured the essence of their day. I highly recommend Josh to anyone looking for a skilled, professional, and personable wedding photographer. Looking forward to working with him again
Hey friends!
Hey, I’m Josh
A Chico, California based wedding photographer telling love stories in Chico, Redding, Sacramento, the bay area, Napa, Sonoma and beyond.
I specialize in documentary & cinematic, story-driven imagery that captures more than how your wedding day looked, I capture how it felt. Through real film, digital, Polaroids, and even Super 8, I preserve the in-between moments with intention and honesty.
I've been married to my best friend, who I’ve known since the first grade, since 2015, and we’re raising two amazing daughters here in Chico. When I'm not at my day job, my days often look like double shot lattes, chasing two kids around and and are deeply shaped by my faith and love for timeless stories. The kind that speak to loyalty, legacy, and love that endures.
Whether I’m photographing a full wedding weekend in wine country or documenting a quiet connection between two people in their own home, I show up fully with empathy, curiosity, and a deep respect for the trust you’ve placed in me.
I don’t believe in posed perfection. I believe in telling the truth. Beautifully, quietly, and with heart.
