Josef Samuel Photography is overall not worth your money. I was recently a part of a wedding where he was the photographer, and his photography on the wedding day as well as the final product were a major disappointment. Josef showed up in khakis and a collared shirt, not industry standard all black. Josef is a kind and quiet person, but he does not have a commanding presence. If you want someone to be efficient (you are paying for his time) and direct an already busy crowd in order to take pictures quickly, Josef is not your guy. He barely took any variations of photos. And most of them were from the same angle. We had to remind him to take a picture of all the family members together, and any creativity in posing came from suggestions from the bridal party. Josef spent three times as long on any given shoot than necessary. His final product was ready in two weeks, but it was not cut or edited. Many of the pictures, including one of the only two of the bridal party, were out of focus. And he does not release the photos to the couple. Not only are you paying $3,000 for a sub-par photographer, you now have to pay $8 for a 4x6 of an uncut, unedited print. I would highly recommend you take your business elsewhere. read more
