Affinity Wedding Photography

We had remarkable wedding photography experience by choosing Joe as our photographer.From start to finish, he truly surpassed our expectations, leaving us with a stunning collection of photographs that beautifully captured the essence of our wedding.He made two in person meetings first in the beginning and second a month before our wedding. He explained all details we needed to pay attention to for our wedding and answered all questions we had.On the day of our wedding he took most of the poses I sent him before hands(which I was impressed that he saved them all on his phone and going through them one by one). He also has good eyes for capturing the wedding story. Not only our photos turned out phenomenal but all genuine emotions of our loved ones and overall atmosphere of our wedding is captured.Overall Joe is a professional and very experienced wedding photographer, punctual and detailed oriented. His pricing is the most reasonable one you can find in the market. He is very flexible and always has a smile on and makes your wedding photography a pleasant experience.If you're seeking a wedding photographer who will go above and beyond to create an extraordinary visual narrative of your wedding day, I wholeheartedly recommend Joe.

Working with Joe was the best decision we made! Joe was extremely helpful in our wedding preparation with some great suggestions. Joe's fly on the wall" documentarian style was exactly what we were looking for and the photos we received after our wedding are incredible. We couldn't be happier with Joe as a person and as a photographer. Highly recommended!!"

If I could give 6 stars, I would! Joe captured our wedding beautifully -- each moment we will cherish forever has been expertly memorialized -- thank you! Everyone who has seen these photos has instantly fallen in love with them. A+++ service for a spectacular price. If you are looking for candid storytelling and incredible quality, give Affinity Wedding Photography a call!

Joe is a wonderful combination of true professionalism and skill with a highly personable, humorous, and easygoing personality. He has confidence in his expertise, precision in his work, and a dedicated commitment to the people he works with. From our first meeting at a coffee shop, Joe was so easy to embrace and the passion for his work was easily seen and felt. We walked out from the first meeting feeling confident and excited to have Joe capture our once-in-a-lifetime occasion. We did not look further and booked him in our next email.Joe was very thorough in his work. He met with us a second time as the wedding got closer, visited our wedding venue to scout out the location, and even met with us a third time at my parents’ home to give us helpful tips for our Chinese tea ceremony. On the wedding day, he arrived early, set up his equipment, and documented the tea ceremony beautifully. Our parents in particular were very pleased with the photos that he took of the tea ceremony and his wonderful presence with our close family members and wedding party.Throughout the day, Joe was actively documenting, observing, getting a feel for the people, and making decisions on the timing and location in order to capture the best moments.Joe delivered the photos in two weeks as promised which was just wonderful. This was something that many of our friends were amazed at and wished they had known of sooner as many of them had to wait much longer times. The online gallery was greatly appreciated by our family and friends, especially those who lived abroad who could see our photos with ease. Joe even surprised us with a specially selected photo that he developed in large size.If we were to sum up our appreciation for Joe in one sentence, it was that he helped us to relax and just be ourselves on the wedding day knowing that we had a friend in him who would ensure only the best.From the bottom of our hearts, we want to thank you very much for capturing our wedding day so beautifully. When our friends get engaged, we can’t wait to recommend you to do the wonderful work you have done for us.Sincerely,Jeannette and David Leithman, Richmond BC

After postponing our Wedding on May 2 ~ thank you Covid-19 ~ we were finally married on Aug. 29th! Joe photographed our special day from beginning to end and it was no easy feat! Moving between several locations as well as capturing stunning images of the falcon that flew in our rings, to horse carriages to the bride & groom on horses! Joe did it all! He will go above and beyond to capture all of your cherished moments. We never had a single issue or doubt throughout the months we worked with Joe.He is a consummate professional with a true passion for his craft, and it shines through in his work! We cannot express how much we enjoyed working with him, but moreso, what a wonderful, caring person he is!Thank you Joe! Can't wait to work with you again!

Joe was fantastic throughout our whole wedding. We actually booked Joe before this pandemic started and when we had to reschedule our wedding he was more than accommodating. His communication was great and very pleasant to deal with. In terms of his photos well they speak for themselves. They are absolutely STUNNING! He is a master of his craft and my wife and I could not be happier having chosen him for our biggest day. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a photographer for ANY occasion.

What stands out about our experience with Joe of Affinity Wedding Photography is how he went above and beyond for us on our wedding day. Every special, little moment of our wedding was captured by him in a way that we will be able cherish for ever. The whole time Joe was very patient with us and always did his best to fulfil each of our requests about different types of shots and backdrops. His immense experience and eye for detail was highly apparent. Not only were the photos he took exceptional, but he took the lead in coordinating all of the details of our procession with each person who was involved. We highly recommend Joe to any couples looking for a wedding photographer because he will help make your day extra special!

Originally hired Joe for our wedding in 2020, but that didn't go as planned. Fast forward 3 years and we asked him again to photograph our wedding, and it was worth the wait! Joe is very friendly, takes amazing photos, and helps you be you so that the photos capture the moment and your personality/emotions/awesomeness. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a professional wedding photographer!

Joe is an amazing photographer, he walked us through the whole process and made it sound simple and beautiful.On the wedding day he took a journalistic story-telling approach an the result was an amazing set of photos tied the whole day together in a way that will make you shed tears of joy and happiness. You could hardly tell he was there capturing the moments because his camera is so silent.Thank you Joe for making our special day live forever in a photo-story.

We had the pleasure of working with Joe twice - once in May for our micro ceremony and once this past weekend on October 2nd for our reception! And five stars isn't enough to express how happy we were with Joe!Once thing that we really loved is his ability to capture special moments that are not staged or posed - laughter, a hug or a joyful tear (all things that have been missing through the pandemic).Joe was patient and kind with having to reschedule and replan due to restrictions. He provided input and suggestions that were thoughtful and helpful!We would not hesitate to work with Joe again in the future and would highly recommend him to capture your special occasions!Thank you and we cannot wait to see the reception photos! ❤️
