Timeless Images for Romantic People

Your wedding photos are an investment in memories—something you’ll be proud of and look back on with a smile, remembering every moment. They should tell your unique story, capturing the essence of your day. I don’t take that request lightly. You deserve a photographer who not only values this investment but also understands how to authentically tell the story you’ve created.

I am Joseph

And I am the one behind the camera. With 10 years of photography experience—5 of those focused on weddings here in St. Louis—I’m passionate about capturing the love between couples who, like me, value family and friendship. For me, it’s all about building genuine connections with my clients. My goal is not only to create timeless memories that tell your story but also to build lifelong friendships along the way. I don’t want your photos to be forgotten on a hard drive—that would be heartbreaking. I want them to be cherished, just like the memories they capture.

“Joseph did both our engagement and wedding photos. Our engagement session was a breeze, and he made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. Getting to know him during our engagement session made our wedding day seem so easy and effortless to get every shot! He went above and beyond to ensure our pictures came out perfectly. He worked tirelessly the entire day into the evening to get every angle. We even had guests commenting on how hard he was working and on how amazing our photos turned out. You can tell wedding photography is Joseph’s passion, and I couldn’t recommend his talent more to anyone looking for an engagement/wedding photographer!”
