When scrambling between multiple different photographers and the stress of who to pick to capture a day that we will cherish forever, I instantly knew the second I saw Josie’s work that I needed her for my wedding day. We got the joy of having her for our engagement pictures which just further solidified that I had made the right decision. Not only is Josie INCREDIBLY talented at what she does but she truly loves it and made us feel right at home in front of the camera. She spent the entire wedding day prioritizing our happiness and I cannot thank her enough. I now have some of the most beautiful pictures to reflect on and the warmest of memories of my time with Josie!! 1000000/10. She’s a good one.

Josie did an amazing job at our wedding and couldn't be happier at how the photos are turning out!! We received our sneak peaks and are just dying to see the rest! She was recommended by our venue and are so grateful we chose her to capture our day. We already have friends who are hoping to book her when it comes to their time to get married.

Her work is impecable. Coming from a line of photographers and artists, Josie implements such a candid, effortless old style that leave anyone speechless. I looked at several photographers before I chose her and I am so lucky that I got my wedding photographed by her. She’s the best to work with and has an amazing aura! Josie is attentive to what you as the bride wants. She will take such good care of timelines, details, your preferences! She is the one who helped me make a plan B for if the day got cold. She made sure to create the inspiration shots that I really wanted. She will make you comfortable during shoots and help you through the day. And I ADORE that she works with film. Those shots added that antique feel that I was so looking for so eagerly. I would one thousand percent recommend Josie Brooks to anyone who loves photography and truly wants that timeless, romantic and candid style. She will not disappoint! It has been truly an honor to be part of what Josie does. Because unlike many professionals out there, Josie will truly care and build a connection with us, that is why her shots are so magical — her talent comes from real connection

From the first time seeing her photos, to our first conversation, to our engagement shoot and on wedding day, she exceeded all of our expectations! She is truly passionate about what she does and made our wedding day 100x better (and stress free)! She brought so much fun and happiness to our wedding day and always made us feel comfortable in front of the camera! Our photos are everything we could have asked for and more - we can't thank her enough and highly recommend booking her!! You will not be disappointed! <3

I had a very specific vision for my engagement photos. I wanted the photos to be editorial, candid, modern, and timeless. I wanted to feel like the photos could be in Vogue or Elle. I spent days looking for the right venue and photographer. I came across Josie's art and I knew I had to have her take the photos.

Josie made the whole entire process seamless. We kept in contact regarding outfits, venue, and accessories. She helped me pick out my dress and made us feel comfortable during the session.

My fiancé and I am truly so grateful for her. The photos turned out better than we could have ever imagined. The photos are so intimate and unique. We are so in love with the photos that we are speechless. Words cannot describe how beautiful the photos turned out.

If you are considering working with Josie. Please do. You will not regret it.

Josie was & is the absolute best -
Photos were the one thing my husband and I really wanted to prioritize because that is really the only thing that we get to keep from our best day ever... selecting Josie to capture our favorite moments / people / day was the best and easiest decision of the wedding process. She is beyond talented and her work brings pure joy. The gratitude we have for perfectly and skillfully capturing these memories is overwhelming! I also admire how personable, organized, and professional she remains throughout the entire process. I loved the level of trust I felt in her throughout the day - we all are aware of how insane a wedding day must be but she was beyond helpful. I will and am recommending her time and time again: Josie is evidently skilled, but she is all around a wonderful woman and working with her in the wedding process / day was quite literally a dream!
Thank you, thank you, thank you Josie!

Josie was truly the highlight of the wedding planning experience. Not only is she so genuine (a very rare thing to find in the wedding industry) but she has an AMAZING eye for art, design and style. Not only did the photos turn our amazing, Josie helped guide me during the planning process to ensure the design and style fit well for the photos we wanted. Josie went above and beyond to make us feel cared for.

Selecting vendors is a stressful process, but at soon as I interacted with Josie I knew she was the one. She is a great blend of a kind, genuine person while also being confident, having an opinion and providing direction to create beautiful memories.

About

Josie Brooks
Photographer Josie Brooks About me

My favorite are the small and intimate unique wedding or elopements. I enjoy couples that go against the grain and don’t worry about traditions. Same with lifestyle sessions, I adore the wild and carefree spirits. Spending time getting to know people in love is the best part about what I do.   I am inspired by raw emotions, adventures and beautiful locations. The best thing about shooting for me, is the candid and very organic in-between moments.  When I am not shooting, you can find me spending time with my family, out on the water, learning more about my passion for film, laying in the sun reading a good book, or researching my next travel wedding.
