About Joe Appel Photography

Joe Appel

Photographer

So many times when I present a collection of images to a couple they'll find themselves overwhelmed with emotion. I've thought a lot about this and believe it's because so much happens so fast on a wedding day that your mind can only process a certain amount in the moment. When you see those authentic images that tell your story all of the information that your mind stored during your wedding is released. It's amazing how powerful images are. I am grateful to be able to give my couples photos that they'll treasure for life.

Your photos should do more than show you what you looked like. They should make you remember how you felt on your wedding day. I bring the documentary, story-telling skills I perfected as a photojournalist for newspapers and magazines to your wedding. Sure we'll do portraits and detail photos but there's much more to weddings than that. Images of the real moments between you as a couple and those you share with your loved ones are the ones that you'll linger over and treasure as years go by. I'll be there to tell your story.

    My husband and I loved every part of the process of working with Joe Appel! With all the components that go into wedding planning, we definitely appreciated the smooth and stress-free communication with Joe. He honored our wishes for the candid shots we wanted and managed to capture every big and small moment of our wedding without ever choreographing shots. Post-wedding, communication stayed consistent and smooth as he compiled beautiful albums for us. We saw Joe as a friend over a vendor the whole way through. Many thanks -- we're looking forward to another reason to hire him!!

  • Joe is simply the best

    Joe photographed our wedding in 2017. He captured every special moment exactly how I remember them. His style is artful storytelling from beginning to end. When I look at our photos, they take me back to the day and bring on the same strong emotions. Joe also photographed our newborn at 2 weeks. He continued to amaze us with another set of beautiful memories. I highly recommend Joe on not only the exceptional work he does, but also the ease and happiness he brings along.
