  • What was your favorite wedding photo? There was a courtyard with a fish pond and fountain in the hotel where we got ready for the ceremony. Josh had us at a small table next to the pond and he took photos from the top floor of the hotel looking down at us. The perspective is magnificent. It's a creative and beautiful shot.
  • How did the wedding photographer avoid disrupting the day? Great with candids? Action shots? Portraits? Josh and Vicky were great with posed shots. They made everyone feel comfortable and paid attention to every detail, so we all looked great. As for candid shots, I never felt like Josh was in the way, yet he was always available when we needed him, and got shots that we weren't even aware of.
  • What was included in your wedding photo package? Albums? DVDs? Engagement pics? Two photographers? We chose to purchase all of the photos outright on CDs, so we could make our own copies for family and friends. That option and the actual cost of Josh and Vicky's time on the day was incredibly reasonable. We were very pleased with what we got for the price.
  • How did the photographer make you and family comfortable? Josh and Vicky's professionalism and humor made everyone feel at ease. It was clear that they knew what they were doing and really wanted us to look our best. During moments when I was alone with my husband (to be) or with my sisters getting ready, he always asked if he could come in to capture the moments.

  • What was your favorite wedding photo? Josh took a couple of fabulous photos of us in front of the Capitol. Our favorite of these is probably one where we are walking away from Monona Terrace towards the Capitol and looking back over our shoulders. We have received many compliments on these Capitol photos.
  • How did the wedding photographer avoid disrupting the day? Great with candids? Action shots? Portraits? Josh and Vicky were always around and captured amazing candid shots, but were practically invisible. Josh was always there when we wanted a specific photo without having to track him down and without being obtrusive.
  • What was included in your wedding photo package? Albums? DVDs? Engagement pics? Two photographers? We ordered the DVD of all the photos and after we saw the photos, we also decided to order an album. Josh designed the layout and it was perfect- everyone we have showed the album to have been in awe of the photos, the album itself, and how it all came together. Although the album wasn't inexpensive, the cost of all-day photography and the DVD was extremely reasonable and for the end result, unbeatable!
  • How did the photographer make you and family comfortable? Josh and Vicky were very personable and did everything they could to help make our wedding day run smoothly while capturing all the moments along the way. We had multiple guests comment on how great they thought the photographer was and how much they enjoyed getting to interact with him. Photography was the one aspect of the wedding I cared most about and I couldn't have asked for anyone better than Josh!

  • What was your favorite wedding photo? Our favorite is the one Josh used on the cover of the proof book, of us facing each other standing at the bottom of the stone steps by the Japanese Garden in the Rotary Gardens in Janesville, where our ceremony and reception where. It was redone in a sepia tone and the effect was incredible.
  • How did the wedding photographer avoid disrupting the day? Great with candids? Action shots? Portraits? He had great ideas in mind for the shots he wanted and was excellent about getting people where he needed without being demanding. He was also great about taking ideas from us when we offered them, and incorporating them in with his own ideas or letting us know whether they would work or not. We hardly noticed him there when we weren't doing posed shots and he obviously knew where, when and how to get the best pictures throughout the whole event without being intrusive. His wife took pictures in the dressing room while the girls were getting ready, and even though it was a fairly small room, she got beautiful shots of us getting ready without even slightly getting in the way. We had disposable cameras on the tables for guests to use during the ceremony to supplement the professional photos, but the ones we got from Josh are so great, it hasn't even bothered us at all that we haven't gotten the other cameras developed yet!
  • What was included in your wedding photo package? Albums? DVDs? Engagement pics? Two photographers? We chose to purchase the rights to the images on a CD because there were so many we wanted and so many other people who wanted to order them, that it was the best option for us financially. The price for the actual photographer services throughout the ceremony and reception were very affordable, which was excellent since we were on a fairly tight budget. Honestly, I think we easily could have paid twice as much for the service and photos we got. If we had other events we needed a professional photographer for, we'd hire him again in a heartbeat!
  • How did the photographer make you and family comfortable? Josh and Vicki were so incredibly down-to-earth and friendly that everybody was talking and joking with them like they were long-time friends or other members of the family. It was easy to tell that they both loved with they do and they knew what they were doing, and that ultimately shows in the pictures. When they were done with their paid services, we invited them to stay as our guests for the rest of the reception because we enjoyed them so much. They declined, but I think it was because they had a babysitter to relieve at home. :)

  • What was your favorite wedding photo? My favorite picture is of my husband and I in front of the capitol. Josh put it in black and white and it is absolutely stunning! We've gotten so many compliments on it.
  • How did the wedding photographer avoid disrupting the day? Great with candids? Action shots? Portraits? To be honest, I have no idea how Josh got some of the pictues he did. I remember seeing him here and there through out the night, but when I saw my proofs, I was blown away with the great pictures he captured. Pictures I would have never even thought of, Josh captured and they are now some of my favorites! For the posed photos, Josh was fantastic! He knew what he wanted and was able to clearly express that. He made sure to pay attention to the little details, like the height bridesmaids held their boquets. I never felt like he was too pushy, but he was still very good at directing. My whole wedding party and all of our guests felt very comfortable and the pictures are proof of that!
  • What was included in your wedding photo package? Albums? DVDs? Engagement pics? Two photographers? My husband and I chose to purchase the rights to all of our images. We now have a dvd of every single photo Josh took and we can print as many as we want, wherever we want. It is one of the best things! I would highly recommend doing this. It is very cost efficient!
  • How did the photographer make you and family comfortable? Josh was direct, not pushy, and very relaxed. Everyone felt very comfortable and the poses were all very natural. He was extremely friendly and really made an effort to get everyone's name down. I am beyond thrilled with the finished products and also with how the day went. Josh was fantastic!! I would never want to go back and change my photographer. I will recommend him to all of my friends and family!!

  • What was your favorite wedding photo? It is hard to chose just one because Josh had so many great shots. However, one of my favorite pictures was one of my husband and I kissing in the middle of the street during Taste of Madison. Josh focused on us, but you could see all the people walking in the background. It is a very cool looking.
  • How did the wedding photographer avoid disrupting the day? Great with candids? Action shots? Portraits? Josh was great with both posed portraits and candids. He captured all the details and special moments perfectly. He was pleasure to work with and blended right in with the guests.
  • What was included in your wedding photo package? Albums? DVDs? Engagement pics? Two photographers? We ordered all the photos on a cd and a few pictures in hard copy so that we could frame them. Josh also offered to make us an album. His price was extremely reasonable.
  • How did the photographer make you and family comfortable? Josh was so friendly and nice, everyone was immediately comfortable working with him. He was my favorite vendor at my wedding.
