"Disarming" isn't even enough of a word to describe the ease of the experience. Stephanie made it a point to understand what I wanted from the shoot, but she wasn't afraid to let her imagination work with the surroundings, so the process was collaborative, laid back, but with attention to detail and precision for my desires as a customer. Highly recommended.

Do not hesitate to secure Holly and Jim for your event!…read more Great, quick communication before, during, and after our wedding. Totally put our minds at ease. Handled the suboptimal conditions (mud everywhere, glaring sun, high winds that knocked things down) at the venue with ease and grace. Didn't even know they were there unless they were talking directly to us (stealthy!). Captured so many gorgeous photos and fun candids. They took our preferences into account- we got the types of photos that were important to us (and more!) and they were in the style we hoped for- natural, did not look heavily edited (and if they were you'd never know it!). Video clips and 1 min video montage were WONDERFUL. Many guests have commented how nicely they captured the essence of our day. Having both of them there was perfect - not only were they able to catch both sides of the wedding party getting ready in separate locations, but also the different angles of the same moments. We will enlist their services again for other events. They were fun and friendly and helpful, and we cannot say enough about Out of the Ordinary Photography!

Collaborating with Josh was an absolute pleasure. He exudes an aura of calmness and hospitality that instantly puts you at ease. His ability to make you feel exceptionally comfortable in your skin is truly remarkable. Initially, I carried some apprehension in my purse, uncertain about how my body would look in the photos. However, thanks to Josh's expert guidance and unwavering support, I not only conquered my fears but also thrived during the shoot. The resulting photos were nothing short of amazing, and I found myself unable to choose just a few because I wanted every single one of them! Josh's communication skills have been impeccable right from the moment I signed up for the photo shoot until the actual day of the session. He sent numerous emails filled with invaluable information that helped us connect better and gave me a clearer understanding of what to expect during the shoot. He was always available to address any questions or concerns that I had, which made the entire process feel seamless and reassuring. Without a doubt, I wholeheartedly recommend Joshua for any future photo shoots you may be considering. His professionalism, warmth, and talent make him a fantastic choice for capturing memorable moments. If I have to say one thing, that is buy the Money Shot Photo!

They are the images that are snapped while the subject is entralled with something or someone, or in the midst of a conversation so funny, a moment so intense, or a landscape so beautiful that the subject is unaware of the camera and its actions. It is my goal as a photographer to capture these moments, to encapsulate the memories that will later spark tears, laughter, and bring you back to the happiest moments of your life.
