We would highly recommend Joshua as a wedding photographer - he did a beautiful job of capturing our day. We liked his relaxed approach, he made us feel comfortable quickly and took good mix of candid photos as well as a few formal group shots. We found the pre-wedding meeting really helpful and felt that he understood exactly what we wanted. The photos look great, the gallery was sent to us promptly and tells a lovely story of the day. We are really happy with the photos, and are really glad we chose Joshua to be our photographer.
