San Francisco City Hall Wedding Photographer Reviews

Additional San Francisco City Hall wedding photographer reviews

When I was planning my wedding I wanted to keep it simple. We have decided to get married at City Hall so why a photographer? Then my mom found IQ Photo and hired them as a wedding present to us. THEY ARE AMAZING!! The photos were GORGEOUS their professionalism was great they did everything for us from being our witnesses to fending off security to directing our limo driver to a second location they were great.

They know City Hall like the back of their hand! They knew all the intimate little areas to get great light and architecture. They knew that the lighting that day was good for this location or that they knew it all. 

They made us feel very comfortable and they went above and beyond for these photos. I just finished looking at the slide show they set up (you buy the pics from there) and out of 364 I chose about 300 of the shots and the ones I didn't choose were because someone was blinking or it was a double. 

I really can't say enough about them, even my sister and brother in law were super impressed and couldn't stop talking about how great they were. Thank you Joseph!!

When my fiancee and i decided to do a City Hall ceremony the only detail insisted on was that we have a photographer to capture it. I know that it all passes in a blur and that in the end the pictures you have become a window into your feelings and memories. so i wanted the pictures we had to be beautiful.

i did a lot of online research and ran across IQ Photo. I saw that they did a City Hall package which was perfect for us. i saw the slide show and was very impressed. I instantly emailed to see if he was available on my day.

Joseph was really quick to respond which was one of the qualities that was a make or break for me with all my vendors.

Well here i am less than a week after my wedding with an amazing gallery that encompasses close-up details, candid emotional shots and some very nice composed group shots. not to mention the more creative, fun shots we took all over City Hall taking full advantage of the beautiful architecture and lighting.

i could not be more pleased and hiring Joseph was definitely one of the smartest things i did in the planning process.

Joseph & Alex took our City Hall wedding photos, and on top of fantastic photos, they truly added to a wonderful experience.  We had a chance to compare them to a photographer in Hawaii we had, and let's just say that we wish we would have flown these guys out.

5 Stars, honestly 3 times over:

Nice, friendly with direction, knew everywhere to go around City Hall, were essentially ushers at times, incredibly helpful, very appreciated by our families. *****

Incredible photographs.  A fantastic mix of artistry and memory, of beauty and occasion.  Much better than the hawaii guy's shots.  *****

The ease of getting digitals.  Maybe I wouldn't have realized this had I not paid $300 extra for the hawaii guy to SEND ME 3 CDs, but IQPhoto/Joseph makes it so incredibly easy to download your high quality shots.  This should be a #1 deciding issue for most people like me, who photographically live on their computer and appreciate high quality images.  *****

We've hired them again for a function in June, and it was a very easy decision.

My  husband and me are very artistic ourselves. He studied painting in art school and now is a graphic designer, i write for fashion magazine and love art, fashion and photography to bits! 

having said that, we are very very happy about our wedding album. It beyond description. the first time i saw it after the wedding, i was in tears again. those moments are just magical, Joseph has captured the emotion so well! every frame tells a story. those are like silent film, so silent but speak volumes at the same time. 

Joseph is truly versatile. we love the modern edginess he adds to the album. it totally us. but how does he know it so well by simply meeting us for the very first time? it remains a myth to us. by viewing his website, we found that he adds personal touches to every couple he shoot. no single album is repetitive and predictable in style, which is simply admirable!

the shooting experience itself is worth writing home to. Joseph is not only an excellent photographer, he a art director at the same time. the way he shoots is like directing a film. when the cut' begins, he becomes totally invisible, but the stimulation he gives before the shooting is just incredible! he stimulates us to be free, spontaneous and  playful, which transforms to be the soulfulness and pure passion the photos oozes! 
all in all, i have trusted Joseph from the moment i saw his photos. i have 100% faith in his ability to make one-of-a-kind wonderful wedding album. i trust him even more now (how can that be possible), which is the reason i would love others to share with me the beauty, artistic integrity, commitment and devotion Joseph Kohn  provides the world with...

Just do it! You will "NOT" regret IQPhoto's services. We know we didn't!
In fact, my wife and I are currently fighting who can write IQPhoto a better review than another. 

My wife and I live in Dallas, but all of our friends and family are in the Bay. Obviously, the wedding is going to be in the Bay. After some wedding planning through Google, we found Joseph's website on the City Hall wedding. After browsing through his City Hall wedding collections, we decided to have a simple wedding to avoid all the remote wedding planning nightmare. It was Joseph who gave us the idea of getting married in the City Hall.

Joseph was very helpful and was very prompt in his responses. He showed up at the City Hall on time and was able to get us started quickly. He seems to have a way to calm the bride very well (my wife was having a mental breakdown before the wedding), and he instructed many creative poses for us. We were really pleased at his creativity and results. He captured some of the simple interactions among us and family/friends and was able to portrait them very well in his photos. It seems like every photo was telling certain moment of the story. 

Joseph also has his way to organize group pictures as well. With a party of 10+, it can be chaotic to take pictures. However, his instructions to every group pictures was very clear, and allowed us to get great pictures without people running around all the time.

Finally, he knows the place inside out, and he also know places that are great for pictures. You will need to go to his photo collection to see it, and I can say that only a few people know the intricacy of camera angles and light/shadow. After all, Joseph is the only photographer we know who can shoot photos as he walks....good luck finding someone who can top that!

"Exceptional work and final product. IQPhoto did a great job and helped make our day painless and easy!!!"

Let me share my experience with Joseph at IQPhoto. So about 3 weeks ago, my finance and I decided to screw all the wedding planning and go to SF City Hall. A week before our ceremony appointment I did a google search of San Francisco City Hall wedding photographer and up popped IQPhoto. I checked out the website and saw the City Hall package, clicked on the slideshow and was very impressed by the quality of work. So I had my finance take a look (I learned early that the key to a successful marriage is always check first) because she didn't think we needed a photographer since it was going to be a quick ceremony and that we could go back to Asia and do one of those wedding photo packages one day.....she was quite impressed with Joseph's work and gave me the okay to book.

Our ceremony was scheduled for Thursday afternoon, I emailed Joseph Monday and asked if he could accommodate our date and a couple of request. He responded quickly and said he was available and we could work out the request. On Tuesday, I left him a message to confirm and again he responded very quickly and said he would send me an email after his photo shoot with instructions to put down a deposit online. As promised, the email arrived and we confirmed our time to meet and I put send a deposit via google checkout.

The BIG DAY....Joseph and his assistant Alex arrived on time. They were easy to spot as the guys with all the camera's. It was a nice surprise that there were two of them to take pics from different vantage points. Joseph knows the City Hall routine and many of the people that work there so he was able to walk us through the whole process. He asked how we wanted things to be done, if we had special requests or if we wanted him to just take charge and suggest things. He was very positive, not pushy or directing too much, made us feel at ease. Best of all he knows City Hall so well, we were very efficient in terms of time. We got a bunch of pictures done before the ceremony with our families and then still had time to get plenty of shots at various locations in City Hall after the ceremony. It's really hard to believe how many pictures we took in the hour or so at City Hall.

I am not the most photogenic person in the world...I have a huge head and oily skin but somehow Joseph and Alex got shots where I don't look like a bobble-head with vaseline smeared on it. My wife (since we got married) who doesn't like attention and doesn't like photos, was put at ease after a bit by Joseph and started to follow his instructions and posed. At no point did Joseph or Alex make us feel rushed or pushing us along to get things done.

In less than a week, Joseph had our pictures ready to view online and we were able to easily download them. Communications and email were responded to in a timely manner. Joseph was accommodating to our needs and timelines.

Overall a very positive experience on a day that can be stressful. With the end result that we have beautiful pictures that captured our wedding that we can share with our family and friends. I hope that I won't have to hire IQPhoto for another wedding but would not hesitate hire Joseph to capture other special moment and preserve lasting memories from his fantastic work.

Now thinking back, I should have had him do some portrait shots for my Match.com profile back in the day... I would have gotten more hits.

We used IQphoto for our small intimate wedding at City Hall last week.  My husband and I were floored by how good Joseph was.  He'd get a great rating by the quality and creativity of his photography alone, but there was much more than that.  In our case, we relied on his experience to choose where in City Hall to get married, where to take various shots, and he even was the one to choreograph the ceremony.  His balance between fading into the background to catch people's personalities in a natural un-posed manner, and his ability to be nice but firm when managing group pictures with kids is exceptional.  He even gave us a bonus for free-- bringing  a second photographer with him (Alex) who also took great shots.  I recommend Joseph for your most important photography without reservation.

It was a pleasure meeting Joseph and having him as our photographer on our special day. He and his assistant did a fabulous job. I'm extremely impressed with his work and absolutely love the photos. 

Mr. Joseph Kohn is truly an artistic genius in photography. Joseph is creative, imaginative, and original with an exuberant personality. He comes highly recommended. 

My husband and I had the honor to have Joseph as our photographer for our 2009 New Year's Eve Wedding. Joseph and his assistant captured many photos of "Wedding Cover Magazines." The photos are truly a brides dream. I could not hold myself back from shedding a few tears when I viewed the photos. Big Thank You for the awesome work! 

My husband and I decided to marry at the last minute. I mean last minute! We only had four days to make it all happen. On December 26, 2009 my husband coordinates for us to get the marriage license and scheduled the wedding at SF City Hall with a wedding date of December 31, 2009. I live in Stockton, CA and my husband lives in Greensboro, North Carolina. Goodness did I feel lost and pressed on time! I didn't know where I was going to start. 

On December 26, I decided to go shopping at Stoneridge Shopping Center in Pleasanton, CA. I walked through Nordstrom's to exist on the second floor of the Mall. I looked around with misplaced look. I normally start shopping on the 2nd floor but for some reason I was pulled by a force to go down the escalator to begin assembling the wedding of my dreams. As I reached the bottom of the escalator I looked to my left and chills ran through my body. OMG! There staring at me was Blossoms Formal & Bridal Shop. I was overwhelmed with the selection of wedding dresses, but that was fine because my plan was to get a formal simple dress. My choices were not of the best, so I asked the sales representative for her professional assistance. I told her I was looking for a last minute wedding dress for New Year's Eve. She looked at me as if I were insane. With a smile and pleasant look she toured me around. I told her to please help me find a dress that was not too "Fluffy." I can laugh now, but it wasn't funny at the time. I was looking for something fitted. She said; I have the perfect dress for you. It was the only dress she pulled out for me to try on. I put it on and it was perfect! As if I had special ordered the dress. Ladies, when it's meant to be it all happens and it all falls into place. I can attest to it. 

Finally, one of the most important pieces was to locate a photographer. My husband selected the photographer then I went online and viewed Joseph's photo gallery, which was impressive. We both loved it! My husband did a great job locating one of the most fabulous Bay Area photographers. 

With only four days to put it all together. I never imagined our wedding would have had the outcome it did. PERFECT! By looking at our photos it appears as if we spent a lifetime planning the wedding. Few! 

The most important was that Joseph and his assistant captured unforgettable and perfect moments of the wedding. We will "cherish" those beautiful moments for the rest of our lives. I couldn't have asked for anything better. 

If we are ever in need of a professional photographer we would be honored to have him. 

Sincerely, 

Rose

We got married at City Hall in the City last year, and we picked Joseph for his weekday City Hall wedding package.  He really knew what he was doing, he just made us feel very comfortable with the whole process and guided us through like a true professional.  We ended up with some amazing shots, he even took us to a second location and we ended up getting some of our favorite pictures of all time from this shoot.  I wouldn't hesitate for a second to recommend Joseph for anyone's wedding or any occasion when they need some great pictures taken of a special event.

I was lucky to have found Joseph just by doing research on the web. I saw the online photo presentation of his City Hall wedding photos and was hooked. The photos are artistic and unique. He has a great eye for color and moments to capture. 

We opted for the City Hall package and it was perfect for what we wanted to do. Two hours for coverage of pre-wedding, wedding, post-wedding shots outside of City Hall. The photos are beautiful and we have received so many compliments on them. 

I would highly recommend him and hire him again in the future!

Have you seen Josef Kohn's portfolio?  You could read all the reviews in the world on this man, but HIS PICTURES SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES.  Others have said it before, but it is soooo true.  He has that artistic vision and his work is stunning.

We met him for the first time on the morning of our San Francisco City Hall Elopement in September 2008.  I was nervous that I hadn't met him before, but he was there waiting for us when we walked in a few minutes early.  The funny things is that a lot of planning went into our elopement, but we picked Josef based only on his awesome portfolio and because he already had a "City Hall Package" on his website.  I didn't even price out other photographers, Josef was the one we wanted!  So when we arrived at City Hall he showed us where to go and explained the procedure to us.  It was so nice to have someone who already knew the system.  Not to mention he knew his way around building and the best places to take pictures.

We got to choose another location to shoot more pictures after the ceremony and the thing I really wanted to do was a "Trash the Dress" session.  TTD is where you take more artistic shots usually in ways that get the dress all dirty.  Most brides would cringe at the thought of destroying their gown, but I really wanted some artistic photos.  When Josef asked where we wanted to go for the second location, I sheepishly mentioned we'd like to try TTD, maybe in the ocean.  His eyes instantly lit up and he was surprised that I had even heard of it.  He kept reminding us that ocean was going to be cold, but I could see that he was just as excited as I was about it.  So after the ceremony we headed to a beach in Daly City and got some amazing shots!  And YES IT WAS COLD!  Josef was so encouraging and kept saying "You guys are my heroes!"  We honestly had such a fun time splashing in the water and laughing at how crazy it was to be in the ocean in Northern California in September!  It was an incredible experience and Josef made us feel like models or celebrities.

But the best part by far was receiving our pictures.  Josef emailed us a few gorgeous shots while we were on our honeymoon, and the CD containing image files was in our mailbox by the time we got back.  We eloped with just Josef as our witness so none of our family or friends got to see it.  The photos Josef took were the only way our families could feel like they were there with us.  We used one picture as our wedding announcement and set up a website with pictures so that our families could see our special day.  The reaction we got from our family was so great!  Everyone loved to photos and told us that they looked so glamorous.  My mother-in-law, who was especially hurt that she didn't get to be there, completely changed her mind when she saw our pictures.  We owe it all to Josef!

Joseph and Eliot both photographed us for our San Francisco City Hall wedding back in March of 09.  We met Joseph at the City Hall and took pictures on all three floors of the building.  He was prompt, efficient, artistic, and most importantly, he captured the entire event in a very natural and unposed style.  We got our photo CDs about 2 weeks later and we are very happy with the work!  After the ceremony, we met with Eliot (Joseph's associate) at the San Francisco Ferry building for more pictures.  We rode on the cable car up to the Grace Cathedral and Eliot did an excellent job capturing that cable car excursion.  Neither photographers were bossy or moody as I have heard of other photographers.  The most amazing thing is that we did this all in less than 3 hours and ended up with enough pictures to put into a beautiful album.

We booked Joseph for 4 hours for our civil ceremony at City Hall based on his experience shooting there. He followed us on a cable car ride after to Palace of the Fine Arts and Crissy Fields and ended his assignment at One Market restaurant where the reception was held. I was very impressed with the results of the photos. They looked amazing considering the day was somewhat miserable. City Hall was a bit chaotic with tons of people setting up for an event and Palace of the Fine Arts and Crissy Fields were so windy and cold that I couldn't even feel my toes. But the photos turned out much more grounded, happy and interesting. It is helping me recreate the memories of that day in a totally new way. Now my only regret is that we didn't take any more photos when he offered. 

One other cool thing about booking Joseph besides his expertise about City Hall and San Francisco is that he brought an assistant along who is also fantastic. I really liked his photos as well and you will not be disappointed.

We love love love Joseph and his assistant's work. We did the civil ceremony in SF City Hall on July 24th, 2009 and when we saw the pictures that they took, we were so glad and completely satisfied with the works that they did. Joseph has a very sophisticated sense of artistic and style. He knows his way around the City Hall like the back of his hand and he is very good in guiding you for the most natural poses. Very professional and reasonably price for the memorable pictures that you get. HIGHLY RECOMENDED!!!

Joseph and Alex (his assistant) were amazing.  I originally thought I'd just elope and I booked them for the City Hall ceremony.  i ended up doing reception to boot and they were very flexible and allowed me to add on the  extra hours.   If you're considering City Hall as a location these guys are amazing - they know the place inside and out and can get you pics in places you wouldn't have thought of yourself.  
They also shot pictures for our wedding at Legion of Honor and Yank Sing.   I decided early on that photographs would be something not to skimp on and I'm so glad I went with Joseph!

We got married July 1 2009 at SF City Hall, just the two of us and Joseph (and an associate who's name I've forgotten - sorry!).

There are a couple of other photographers who offer 'City Hall packages', but Joseph's work stands out way above the rest!  He knows how City Hall works, and this is a huge help when the bride and groom are both nervous, and unsure of where to go and what to do when first arriving.

Who knew that after 18 years together we'd be nervous!  :)

Joseph shot a lot of photos while we were waiting before the ceremony - and he was so unobtrusive that after a few minutes I forgot about the cameras.
Since Joseph has so much experience shooting at SF City Hall, he knows where to take the best photos.  It's such a beautiful building, and he is able to capture it in just the right way.

For our secondary location we chose the top of Russian Hill - it has some amazing views of the city, and is also where we lived when we first moved to SF.  Joseph had never been there before, but after just a few minutes of study,  it was as if he knew exactly what we had imagined!

I am in no way photogenic, and am overly emotive - so photos of me do not usually turn out very well.  (Yes I'm the Chandler Bing in this relationship, as my husband always looks good in photos)  I know I must have been a very difficult subject for him , but Joseph took it in stride, and produced some of the best photos of us, ever.

On top of that, our photos were ready much earlier than expected.  I had never heard of a wedding photographer editing and releasing photos that fast!  Not to mention the fact that he releases the original files instead of holding them hostage for a year like many other San Francisco Wedding Photographers.

I would treasure our wedding photos no matter what, but am so happy that they turned out even better than I had hoped.

Thanks so much Joseph!

On a last-minute whim, my fiancée (now wife) decided to search for a professional photographer for our civil ceremony at City Hall. Seeing IQ Photos' previous work for other clients, we decide to give Joseph a call and see what he could do for us. Our needs for Joseph's services weren't needed as extensive for most wedding occasions as we only wanted him to shoot some photos of us, family, and friends for just an hour. Joseph worked with us on our needs and he was able to offer his services to us for a very reasonable price. Once the ceremony was over, we were told the wedding photos wouldn't be made available for about 2 weeks. One week after our ceremony, I receive an e-mail from Joseph providing a link to the pictures he took for us. Talk about turn-around time! Before I clicked on the link, I was hoping the photos to turn our good but not great! The quality (and quantity) of the photos that Joseph took were way beyond our expectations considering he only shot for one hour. With minimal planning and not much worrying, Joseph ensured his work would accommodate our needs. Considering this was sort of a last minute decision, we were very fortunate to have locked Joseph's photography services about a week before our civil ceremony. We found Joseph to be easy to work with and he made us feel comfortable around him. From the work he had provided us, we can see that Joseph goes the extra mile in making sure his clients are satisfied with what they're getting and making sure these memorable pictures last a lifetime. I could only imagine what more he could have done for us if we had kept him longer than the one hour we reserved him for. Thanks again!

Our City Hall wedding was planned with only a months notice. For a perfectionist like me, that is a recipe for disasters. I immediately began scouring the net for the best of the best in wedding vendors that might be available to take on a short notice gig without providing short notice level service.
That was when I came across IQPhoto and his City Hall package. It was clear that he had plenty of experience in working in all different settings including his fair share of quicky City Hall weddings. We must have spent hours looking through all of his photos. There is something special about them. They don't just capture the typical wedding poses. He captures moments, feelings, memories. When you look at them, you feel like you're inside the moment experiencing it alongside the wedding party.
When we met him at City Hall he and his assistant sprung into action, catching every moment with skill. He knew exactly where to tell us to go, what to have us do & when to step back and let us experience each other.
His pictures and his service definitely exceeded our expectations. He's 100% pro with a laid back and easy to work with demeanor. The only thing I wish was that we could have afforded to buy a full package with him! His retouching and colorizing work is beautiful and it would have rocked to have a few pictures that had that awesome moody vibe that he excels at. Right now our biggest issue is pouring through the 300+ photos he sent us and figuring out which we want to use!
This perfectionist is happy.

AWESOME!!!

Joseph and Alex did our wedding photos and video at City Hall in SF. Not only did they do a great job, the absolutely saved my day!!

It just happened that I picked the busiest Thursday morning to be married there: there was a Mayor's procession along with graduations going on. The Judge had just informed us that she was no longer going to perform ceremonies in the rotunda and only in a private room!! Just as panic was about to set in- Joseph saved the day! He insisted that there would be a perfect spot on the 4th floor that would be quite and private- and sure enough he was right! If not for this suggestion- I may have been married in a white walled room.

Joseph and Alex were easy to work with, really efficient. Joseph got some amazing shots. We spent some time after City Hall down by Crissie field and got amazing shots of the bridge along with on the beach.  Just a few days after, I was able to view and download my pictures!

Alex has also been really great about helping up find the right some to put our video to. He shot our video in 8mm- which as a really awesome vintage look to it. He has also been really accommodating about letting us have the raw footage when he is done with our film!

I would suggest Joseph and Alex to anyone- esp if you're planning a City Hall wedding! They do amazing work and are wonderful to work with!

When my fiance suggested SF City Hall, I googled it and happened upon IQphoto.  Upon seeing the photos, I fell in love with the venue and had to book the photographer who was able to capture the beauty of both the venue and the moment.  Enter Joseph.  From start to finish he was extremely professional and easy to contact.  I already knew that I liked his photojournalistic style, so I was confident we would be pleased.  

What we got was more than I could have asked for.  Not only did Joseph demonstrate his experience and his intimate knowledge of CH, he also demonstrated flexibility.  I actually forgot my photo ID at the hotel, therefore delaying our ceremony.  Instead of just waiting around and wasting time, Joseph suggested that we start with the photos.  He has an eye for beautiful framing and uses the background to tell a story.

We received a link to our photos only a few days after our wedding.  I couldn't be happier with our experience.  Thank you Joseph!

Worth every penny! My experience with Joseph and Alex (IQ Videography) was awesome, two very talented brothers! We hired them for are City Hall wedding and the final product was just amazing, everybody who saw my pictures complemented me on how beautiful and romantic the pictures were. Very artistic capturing every moment just how I want them to be remembered. So if your thinking that hiring a professional photographer/ videographer for your City Hall wedding isn't worth it think again because hiring the the IQ team was the best decision i made. Had a very good experience w/ them very friendly and plus they knew every step of what we had to do at City Hall so all i had to do was relax and look pretty for the pictures.  Can't wait for the next occasion so I have an excuse to hire them again =)

Joseph! Joseph! Joseph! Not sure where to even begin with this review. I was looking to elope for my wedding and came across a wedding board. I saw the most intriguing pictures and wondered where they had been taken and most importantly, WHO had taken them.  Luckily for me as I read through the board, the bride mentioned Joseph's name. I immediately went to his site and fell in love with his work all over again.  I contacted him that same night and set up potential dates.  At that point, I had not even checked to see if the date was available at San Francisco's City Hall. I checked the date at City Hall and immediately secured his services.  

Coming in from out of town (Michigan) for a wedding is scary enough, but when you have no idea what your photographer looks like makes it even worse. As we sat anxiously waiting for our number to be called, lo and behold I saw this man with two cameras hanging off his shoulders come around the corner. I knew immediately it was Joseph.  Our eyes connected and it was on from there. From the time we first spoke until the time we left it was magical.

Joseph immediately began taking pictures and capturing our moment. He gave us some direction, but not too much. Then much to my surprise, here comes his assistant Alex with two more cameras.  Alex stood in the background and captured so many interesting moments as well. 

Joseph is one of the most artistic people I have met in my life.  So many people claim to be artists, but Joseph is the epitome of what an artist is.  I feel like I worked with one of the world's greatest photographers. Every moment we had with him was so special. Joseph is very professional and very passionate about his work.  My husband and I were in awe the whole day and even still today. Every time I show someone my pictures they say it looks like it came out of a magazine.  (They really do!) I am so blessed to been able to work with Joseph and let me not forget Alex as well.  The only thing I regret is I did not get a picture of the both of them for my personal album.

Thank you, Joseph and Alex for capturing one of the most special moments in my life. I hope to work with you again in the future.

Your #1 fan!

Even though my husband and I wanted a small wedding at City Hall in San Francisco. We wanted to have great pictures.  I searched the internet and interviewed several photographers when I came across Joseph.  After speaking with Joseph and seeing his presentation I was impressed, but my husband thought he was a little pricey for only two hours.  That was until Joseph showed up at City Hall and begin talking pictures.  He took great candid shots of my family and friends. After the ceremony he took us around City Hall and took more pictures.  I told him that I wanted to have pictures taken at Fort Mason with the Golden Gate Bridge in the background and he did it.  We received our pictures when he said we would and when we seen our pictures they were so beautiful that they brought tears to my eyes.  My husband had to eat his words and he said "that guy was worth every penny".  Joseph and his assistant were friendly, flexible and knew special places in City Hall that would make you photos look as if you spend thousands of dollars on your wedding.  I would highly recommend his services and believe me he is worth every penny.  Thanks again Joseph.  You are the Man!!!
