Ciara & Josh
THE ARTISTS BEHIND DOVE & FOX
Scroll
Directed, never posed
We read a room the way a director reads a scene: the energy, the nerves, the connection between two people.
Some moments unfold on their own. Others need a nudge, a breath, or a spark. We know the difference. We give you room to be yourself, then frame it like fine art: bold editorial flash when the night calls for drama, soft natural light when it doesn't.
Photography rooted in instinct, elevated by style, and shaped by your story.
Our Story
Ciara grew up everywhere: Europe, Florida, Hawaii, a proud Army brat who learned early how to walk into any room. Her path ran through art direction and on-set production before photography called her name, and it shows. She styles every frame like an editor. Off duty, she's a late-to-the-game Swiftie and the reigning Charcuterie Board Queen.
Josh has British and Asian roots, has lived in more than 40 countries, and speaks four languages. He directed and acted in theater internationally and ran a headshot studio in New York City. He's photographed Grammy, Tony, and Obie winners, and directed Oscar winners. That's why he directs couples instead of posing them: he knows how to make a real moment happen, then get out of its way. Off duty, he's hunting for vintage cameras.
They met in Los Angeles, built a creative life together, and now call Raleigh home.
What actually happens
You'll feel at home in your own story. Then we turn it into art: stylish, soulful, unforgettable. Photographs that hold not only how you looked, but how it felt. The ones you'll come back to for years, for the memory they carry in your bones.
What you're worried about
You don't want to feel awkward in front of a camera. You don't want to fake a moment or hold a stiff pose while your guests wait. You want to feel present, not pressured. And yes, you want to look incredible, but like yourself, not someone else.
You don't have to be good at this
