Joseph Barber Photography

I love how the wedding day is a photographic realm of infinite possibilities, of pure and genuine emotions, matched with all types of light. Photographing a wedding day is always challenging and this perpetual challenge motivates me to refine my artistry and create better images each time. Plus, the day itself is a summit of one's life that is filled with an emotional array of what makes us human: love, joy, beauty, family, friends, and to be invited as an outsider into something that is incredibly personal, joyous, and momentous is incredibly special for me. I love when the couple finally sees the images from their wedding day and is beyond elated. Even years after their wedding, I have been surprised by a bride or groom via a Facebook message or letter in the mail about how much the photos mean to them and how happy they were to have me photograph their wedding. My Style: Candid, I let the day unfold before my eyes with minimal obtrusion on my behalf. I anticipate and remain keen of the people and the emotions flowing around me as I compose and adjust my camera dials to freeze the essence of the intimate moments I see before me in the form of an image. These images become portals that transports the viewer back again and again to the time and emotion where it transpired. In addition to my love for candid photography, vibrant colors, expansive landscapes, and luminous natural light attract my eye.
