Experience
Working with JOSEPH
For over a decade, I have worked as a director in the entertainment industry, developing visual narratives across film, photography, and commercial production. This background has shaped how I see moments, not as isolated images, but as part of a larger story built through emotion, movement, light, and timing.
I bring that perspective into wedding photography with a focus on intentional, cinematic storytelling. While I document your day as it naturally unfolds, I also guide when needed to ensure each moment is composed with clarity and purpose. The result is imagery that feels both authentic and visually refined.
My approach is grounded in understanding human connection and anticipating emotion before it happens. I am especially drawn to candid moments because of how real and unfiltered they are, often becoming the most meaningful images in a collection.
At Hinoki & Oak, my role extends beyond photography. I approach each wedding with a director’s mindset, crafting a visual narrative that is elegant, intentional, and deeply personal, shaped by over a decade of professional experience in the entertainment industry.
