I often say that I'm a "people photographer." While I love the pageantry and beauty of weddings, what really excites me are the humans who are inside those dresses and suits. I love hearing individual stories, seeing the depth that a sacred day can hold and helping to make sure those memories tell the story that people want to remember their whole lives.
I'm Joe, I make photos

It is without a doubt that Joe is an amazingly talented photographer, but I would like to highlight his work ethic and professionalism. Communicating with vendors throughout the wedding planning process is super important, and Joe was always prompt to respond to calls/texts/or emails which meant a lot to us; he always made us feel like his number one priority. Also, about a month before the wedding Joe schedules a one-to-one chat to go over every single detail of the day!
Our engagement photo session was a blast, we were a bit nervous at first, but Joe has a way of making you feel at ease and confident.
The day of the wedding, Joe was a rockstar to say the least. Like most weddings there was a lot of commotion that day, but he never lost focus and was always smiling, my family and friends were very impressed. Bottom line is we couldn't be happier about choosing Joe as our wedding photographer. Our photos are beautiful, he really captured the magic of the day.

Our wedding day
We couldn’t be happier about choosing Joe as our wedding photographer. He photographed my maid of honor’s wedding a year before ours, and their pictures were beautiful, so it was an easy choice for us.
Joe is an awesome person, wonderful to work with and captures the moment and the setting beautifully. We had so much fun with Joe and Erika on our wedding day, which made everything look more natural and not overly posed. He is also so talented at capturing the beautiful settings, making for truly epic photos.
I've been highly recommending Joe to everyone I know who's getting married! He's the best!

Our wedding day
Joe Tobiason made our wedding day truly unforgettable. From our first look butterflies to our sunset photos, Joe captured the most candid moments of our wedding with our family and friends in attendance. We received so many complements on his presence seemingly everywhere that day, and on what an amazing job he did. The highlight of our day (other than exchanging our vows) was enjoying a beer on the beach with our closest friends at sunset, blown away by the beauty of the Puget Sound and the humpback whales swimming by! It was a sight to see, and a moment we will always remember. We want to thank Joe for doing an outstanding job of capturing our wedding in such a special way.
