HI,I’M JOE
I’ve been photographing weddings and elopements since 2011. This work has taken me around the country, but always brings me back home to Seattle.
The Evergreen State is in my blood and on my skin. I’ve lived my whole life in Washington State and I have tattoos of both the old Seattle Kingdome and Mt. Rainier. I’ve climbed our mountains, slept under the stars (and in the rain), and been chased by the ocean waves. I started making photos on a Minolta film camera in Peru and that thing still sits on my desk today.
I love what I do because I get to see the moments of an elopement and hand back the memories so you can feel the joys of the day all over again.

We cannot recommend JTobiason Photography enough! My husband and I traveled from Florida out to Washington to get married at Artist Point and when we were researching photographers Joe stood out to us. We were able to get on a Zoom call with him prior to hiring him and make sure everyone was on the same page expectation-wise and that our personalities all aligned.
When we actually got to wedding day Joe made everything so easy and made us feel extremely comfortable even though we’d never had professional photos taken before. We had planned on doing a pretty long hike and ended up changing plans on our way up the hike, Joe was still able to find us a beautiful location and make beautiful photos even though we’d deviated from the plan on him.

Joe is simply the best!!! We couldn’t have been happier with the services he provided and all the effort he went through to make sure our photos were authentic to us and truly represented our special day. Not only did Joe get up a 1AM for a sunrise engagement session with us in the North Cascades, he also helped us select a ceremony site in the mountains that made for perfect wedding day photos! He consistently goes above and beyond and made everyone feel extremely comfortable. He was one of our favorite vendors and we HIGHLY recommend Joe!!
Alec & Kim
Working with Joe for pictures of our wedding was an absolute pleasure. Joe was extremely responsive when planning and flexible with our plans when the weather didn’t fully cooperate. The energy he has for his work truly shows through the beauty of his photos. Simultaneously making us feel comfortable in front of the camera and finding truly amazing shots that captured the happiness during the day. We highly recommend Joe to anyone!
