Finding a photographer for our Palm Springs wedding proved more difficult than I could ever imagine. Luckily for me, I came across Joe Stemmer while googling photographers in the area. Joe met with us a few months prior to the wedding to show us his portfolio and talk about what he could offer us. We immediately put down a deposit. Joe's photos are fantastic and his prices are reasonable (which, is VERY hard to find). He has an incredible eye for both posed photos as well as candid shots. My step father, a news paper editor and photographer, has commented that our wedding photos are some of the best he's ever seen. Joe also happens to be an incredibly nice individual. Leading up to the big day, he was in constant contact with us. On the day of the wedding, he was a consummate professional allowing time for posed photos and family portraits, while also stepping back and letting us enjoy the day while he took candid photos. My husband and I couldn't be happier with the results (over 500 photos!). When we decide to expand our family, we've already said we're calling Joe to do a family shoot. I welcome others to email me with any further questions regarding his services at johnnadean22@gmail.com. I highly recommend him to everyone! read more
