I have no words to describe the excellent job that Joel and his team did. He was very attentive to my needs, he anticipated all situations, we had a lot of communication to ensure that our idea was executed in the best way. The day of the event he arrived very punctual and left later than agreed to ensure that I had the best photos, he even brought props that I had not asked for just in case it was necessary. In truth, my proposal would not have been so magical without the beautiful photos that Joel took of us.
Joel was the absolute BEST! He made me, my husband, and our whole wedding party and guests feel so comfortable. He had the best energy all around! The wedding pictures came out beyond our expectations. We loved them so much and they are something we are going to cherish for a lifetime. He cares to get to know you and your love story which gives him an inside for your big day. It also shows that he cares about his work and that he has a passion for what he does.
Joel is an amazing photographer and will accommodate to whatever your photography needs or request are. He is punctual and reliable. Would recommend 10000%
Words cannot describe how we feel about Joel and Nicole! Not only are they incredible to work with but they care about their clients so much! Our wedding day brought a lot of rain and they went out of their way to go get a bunch of clear umbrellas so I could have my pictures outside. They pour so much time, effort, and love into their works and just as much time into each single photograph. They were incredible throughout the entire planning process and overall helped to make our big day so so special! We are so appreciate of them and all of their hard work, we felt so comfortable working with them! They listen to what you want and are so attentive while still bringing in so much fun and creativity to your pictures! If you are looking for a photographer for your wedding or any other occasion these are your people! They not only have shot our wedding but engagement pictures as well! I will forever be hiring them for all of our photography needs!
I cannot say enough about our experience with Forest City! So creative, personable, and friendly! Our photos turned out AMAZING and we will be using them again no question.
Joel made my husband’s and my wedding day the best day to look back on. He took wedding day and engagement pictures for us. Amazing pictures, especially his night pictures! He is willing to go out in the cold and snow to get incredible pictures, flexible on the day of your event, and fun to work with if you’re just out for a portrait shoot. Even if you’re not good at taking pictures, he makes you feel comfortable for the pictures, and they WILL turn out great! My husband and I will use Joel again in the future. We highly recommend Forest City Photographs!
Joel and Nicole do an amazing job of capturing the absolute best moments of your life. They take the time to listen to your needs and put them into practice. I would highly recommend!
