JOSHUA & CIARA
our Style
We capture your day with your specific main character energy, blending timeless documentary style along with moments of fashion-forward flair. It's a collection of moments big and small that reflect the natural truth and natural beauty of your day.
We mix state-of-the-art digital with the same vintage film cameras used by legendary fashion photographers. From dreamy natural light to old-school Hollywood paparazzi flash, we create images that make you feel like the celebrity.
Wedding photography to us isn’t just one-note. It's not just that one shot standing outside the castle, barn, or car shot (although we'll get that too!). It's a collection of moments big and small-small details, laughter, movement, a microcosm of your day of love, beauty and joy. We're here to capture, collect and curate it back to you. Your special day as seen through our eyes. With you as the star of the story and your friends and family on support. All while looking tres chic, and most of all authentic.

our Method
It's our belief that Everyone has Main Character Energy—and our superpower is seeing it. And, when need be, help is bringing it out.
We look for what's special, interesting and beautiful in every person (young or old) we photograph—it's an energy, a spark, something entirely yours. Our gift isn’t just capturing it but also elevating it, revealing a version of you even you may not have seen before.
We don’t just show up with cameras; we do our best to arrive as friends and quiet observers of your chemistry. We read the unspoken moments, guide when needed, and sometimes just let you just be. With a baseline approach of creative joy we then add our years of technique from theater direction and, from our former headshot studio in NYC, the micro specifics how subtle shifts in angles can make a face look amazing on film. So, sometimes we're borrowing you for brief moments of creativity and then others, watching you from afar.
The result? The best version of you both—radiant, in love, living your day authentically. And we'll be there to soon show you what it all looked like through our lens.
our Story
Joshua, with his mixed British and Asian roots, brings a global perspective to every click. He’s lived in over 40 countries, speaks four languages, and once ran a headshot studio in NYC. He has background in international theater directing and acting which gives his photography an instinct for storytelling and the natural drama of everyday life.. When he’s not behind the lens, you’ll probably find him treasure-hunting for vintage cameras.
Ciara grew up everywhere—Europe, Florida, Hawaii—thanks to her “Army Brat” upbringing. Her creative journey took her through art direction, onset production before photography called her name. She and Joshua met in LA, where they built a life of creativity together. She’s a late-to-the-game Swiftie, a pop culture aficionado, and a Charcuterie Board Queen.
our Family
Together, we embarked on life's greatest adventure - parenthood!
We cherish our eight-year-old autistic son, the heart of our family. To support his journey, we relocated to Raleigh, NC, a place we now lovingly call home. We're grateful for Raleigh's abundant therapeutic services and its vibrant, welcoming community.
“His creativity exists both within and without the "box" and is inspiring to many, myself included.”
