this is our jam

we are inspired by you and how you love. creating an environment where you feel comfortable to be you and in turn produce images that aren't posed or stale but capture the realness of your love.

WHAT WE'RE ALL ABOUT

the personal, the intimate, the trust, the connection

HEY WE'RE JOE+KATHRINA

THE ONES BEHIND THE CAMERA

we met in high school and started this business together. now husband and wife we always tag team when it comes to photographing. Orange County, California is where we call home right now. we are always up for an adventure and can often be found road tripping in our 1989 Land Cruiser and snuggling with our dog.

more about us

our approach

is to make this personal

Spending time to connect with each other is what brings out the realness in our photos. It's not just about getting those big epic moments but also those small intimate in betweens. Our focus is less about that perfect photo but having photos that reflect who you are. That's why making sure we're able to create a rapport with you is so important to us. That feeling of trust is what translates into our photos, that makes our couples open up and allows us to capture their love without fluff.
