We really can't say enough about Josh, his amazing work and attitude, and how happy we are with the photos he captured!!!!!!! We had a bit of an unorthodox wedding. At least from how we originally imagined it. As with many brides and grooms this year, the COVID-19 outbreak affected our original plans. We planned on having a large family wedding with around 150 guests, traveling from half a dozen states, and two countries in New York. We had all of our vendors, locations and deposits in place. Like the rest of the world, we never could think something would prevent us from having the large ceremony and family party exactly how we envisioned. By the end of May of 2020, however, we made the difficult decision to cancel those plans. We decided to have a more intimate gathering with 10 of our local immediate family members. We did not want to wait for an unknown amount of time to celebrate what would be the most important day of our lives, and we scrambled to secure a location and... Read more vendors. Josh was one of four wedding photographers we found in Los Angeles. We realized very quickly that he was a perfect fit for us. Not only were his gallery and years of experience impressive; he was incredibly friendly, easy to communicate with and thorough. Together we organized our day and planned the shot set-ups for our wedding. When the day came, Josh and his equally amazing 2nd shooter and assistant, Bri, were early, fully prepared and ready to get to work. Throughout the day, we could tell they shared our enthusiasm, and love of their craft. They were genuinely excited to document all the small moments that flew by for us. Josh was the best thing that could’ve happened to us regardless of circumstance - you will not regret having him photograph any event for you, and we can’t wait to work with him again!!!!!!!!!

THANK YOU JOSH!!! If you are reading these reviews, look no further! Josh is your guy! Josh’s artistic eye, creativity, and magic that he brings to the sessions and through his photos compares to none! The phone conversations leading up to our engagement shoot were so much fun, we knew our engagement session was going to be amazing. We had the best time running around Little Tokyo and the Arts District in DTLA with Josh and Bree. We are pretty awkward taking photos, and Josh was able to make our awkward selves feel 110% comfortable as if we were just hanging out with some old friends. The fantastic photos are proof of that, and he brought our love to life in every shot. Thank you so much Josh & Bree!

We were sold on Josh from day 1 and we could not have been happier with our decision. His energy is amazing, and we got such a wide variety of creative and fun photos. We love our album, and would recommend him to anyone.

Josh is level of skill and fun personality and professionalism and persistence made our wedding pictures better than we could’ve ever imagined! Honestly mind blown!! Worth way more than value paid!!!

Josh and his team are truly magical! They don't just take really good pictures they help facilitate the details of the wedding beforehand, show up with smiles and warm hearts and bring a gentle order 2 the chaotic stress of a wedding day!!!

I don’t even know where to start because there are so many good things to say about Josh and his team! I was apprehensive about the pictures coming out well because I’ve never been terribly comfortable taking pictures. I never really knew what to do or how to pose. Josh put me at ease by assuring me that he’d give me direction and not to worry about it. His direction was so easy to follow and I forgot there was a camera there half the time. From my engagement photos through the wedding, everything was just spectacular! I would recommend Josh to every couple in the world. Josh will be my photographer for the rest of my life for every life event. Thank you Josh!

We are so grateful for Josh and his team!! He made our wedding day fun and memorable. Josh is a perfect combination of relaxed goofiness, unwavering professionalism, and an amazing eye. His team captured so many wonderful moments that we will forever be able to look back on. Children having fun goofing off, people cheering when they won the centerpiece, and so much more. The artistry and professionalism of his team was apparent throughout all of our interactions with him especially on our special day. Growing up in the San Gabriel valley, I had visited Whittier Narrows with my family many times, but he and his team found an area in the park that I had never seen before with a pier, hills, and scenic spots that made the background for such wonderful pictures. He really put a lot of thought and effort into making our day perfect. We were also so impressed when he was able to get everyone perfectly positioned for the grand group photo at the wedding and the reception. His manner was... Read more professional and fun, as he made us laugh and enjoy every moment. Even though our wedding ceremony ran behind schedule (about 30 minutes), and we got lost getting to the park, Josh and his team still made the park picture experience feel like a lazy Sunday stroll. And he was able to get us back on schedule! He knew how to cue us in the perfect way so that we could still be natural while having fun. I will never forget how we were able to laugh and joke together. It was such a wonderful day. My husband was really dreading the park pictures, but he said that the pictures actually felt like a break from the day because of Josh. Josh’s team was so patient when my feet started hurting since I forgot to bring my flats. We are so thankful we met Josh, and were so happy that we had him and his team there to document our day. Thank you so much Josh! Jeralyn and Jimmy Q.

Okay so I didn't just get a photographer, I got a photographer, a lighting assistant, a partial coordinator, and a friend. Josh took the most incredible photos for my wife and I and made us have fun the entire time. I+He incorporated fun games to take the pressure off of smiling and posing and made it more about having fun with my beautiful bride. Josh and Rodger (the amazing lighting assistant/dress fixer) were so amazing and you could tell they were just as happy to be at my wedding as I was. They did such amazing work people at my wedding party were asking if they could have his information! I would hire Josh 1 million times over if I could.

My wife and I knew that picking the right the photographer was one of the most important aspects of our wedding. We did a lot of research and looked at a ton of sample photos. While most other photographers seemed to offer great service, Josh’s photos stood out above the rest. The wedding day was stressful enough, but Josh made sure our photo sessions were a breeze. He had all of our locations mapped out and guided us throughout the day (handling the most difficult of guests with ease). We could not be happier with the way our photos turned out and the way Josh handled our big day. So if you’re looking at this trying to decide on a wedding photographer (or any other event) look no further, Josh is THE MAN!!

Josh and his assistant were amazing! They were so creative and willing to truly take the time to get every shot we requested plus some. Our pictures turned out better than we could have imagined. Josh was able to capture the spirit of our day, the emotions of our guests, and the love between the two of us. All of this while blending in; leaving us wondering how they captured the shots they did. He also was able to tactfully navigate the high energy of family pictures while keeping all of us on track and happy. We would recommend Josh Reiss Photography to anyone looking for a phenomenal experience. Professional, creative, personable, kind, patient, and soooo easy to work with. Josh really helped make our day one of a kind.

He was amazing! He has great ideas and listened to the things that we wanted.. he caught very warm pics of my family and captured beautiful moments of my husband and I at Point Dume!

So my grandma just passed...on the day of my wedding I was going to skip photos with my grandparents since I felt we were running a little behind. Josh encouraged me to take the extra photos with them and now I’m so grateful that he did. The photo I have of my grandma is so special to me and I have Josh to thank for that. Aside from that, our day ran smoothly. We had A LOT of portraits since we both have such huge families and he got through every single photo. Was super helpful with sticking to the schedule and we even wrapped up RIGHT. ON. TIME.

I normally don't write reviews, but our experience with Josh and his partner Bree was so awesome, I just had to! Somehow Josh and Bree took a wonderful day and made it even more so. They were playful and professional at the same time. We did not want posed shots and they captured so many of those personal moments that I think normally would have been overlooked. From a special glance between two people to a bunch of kids making funny faces and being silly together. The quality of the shots were gorgeous. Thank you Josh and Bree!

Before we met Josh, I spent hours scouring the internet for wedding photographers. What I found was that so many photos lacked the artistic and true joy on the peoples faces, and not to mention washed out colors. When looking at Josh’s and companies work it is truly art that portrays authentic emotions. The images are clear and the people are having a blast! Josh was able to capture real moments in time that exuberate the emotions and light just right. Every step of the process was fun and we learned how to be comfortable in front of the camera, which both my husband and I were clueless about. Before working with Josh we were most comfortable taking iphone selfies with the occasional filter. Josh took the time to listen to what we wanted and applied it in the engagement shoot and wedding day. We are so pleased that we worked with Josh to be our photographer, his fun enthusiastic spirit kept us calm and excited. He is a true artist! We love the stunning photos and real moments that w... Read moreere captured on our special day. I have never been so proud to show photos to people ever! Our excitement is all thanks to Josh and Bree! If you want art where you are the star this is the photographer for you. Our friends and family have loved seeing themselves through Josh’s lens and it is such a wonderful thing to give people beautiful photos of themselves from our special day. Thank you to Josh Reiss Photography for capturing the joy and emotions on our wedding day and teaching us how to be authentic in front of a camera!
