Joseph Gonzalez-Dufresne Photography

Joe is stupendous. We were specifically looking for someone who could capture the day's spirit without it seeming posed or forced. We scrolled through dozens of photographer portfolios and faced many of the same staged scenarios that typify the industry. Then we found Joe. Joe's work felt different. His photos have an incredible balance of authenticity and magic to them. In addition, having Joe around during the event was like having another friend at our party except we didn't let him enjoy cocktail hour. He was easy to communicate with from our very first phone call and being at ease throughout the day helped capture some of our most spontaneous moments. Because the day itself flew by so quickly, I genuinely get to relive our wedding day through his work. Investing in a phenomenal photographer is one of the best uses for your money. Joe exceeded all of our expectations, was a consummate professional, and produced candid shots that make me laugh, cry, and, some I don't even remember happening. Based on the photos, it looks like we had a rocking party. 10/10 would recommend.

Joe is not only an incredible photographer, but an amazing all around human to have there with you on your wedding day. His talent is unmatched and his ability to make you feel comfortable and confident, is truly a rare find. We had an absolute blast with Joe. He captures every authentic detail of your relationship through each photo. The precious moments that he captured are truly priceless, and we can’t thank him enough for making our day one that we will cherish forever!

We're very lucky that we were able to have Joe be such an important part of our wedding day! He's a kind and considerate person who went out of his way to ensure that our day was as great as it could be. Joe made sure that we felt as comfortable as possible (which is saying something in my case, given how much I usually recoil when someone wants to take a picture of me) - it was like hanging out with an old friend who also happens to be an extremely talented photographer. Joe was willing to climb a hill and hop over fences for us and came up with so many wonderful ideas for settings for our pictures - it was the best combination of both suggesting things and letting us be ourselves. We absolutely recommend working with him for your wedding (or for any other event)!
