Joey is an amazing photographer!

Joey was amazing. Super flexible, followed along with a few suggestions we made for pictures. He was very professional, extremely nice and friendly to us and our family and friends. Super accommodating and you could tell he loves what he does! We can't wait to see our pics. Thanks Joey for an outstanding job! 100% recommended.

High-quality pictures, friendly service

We hired Joey to take our engagement pictures as well as be present for our wedding. From the get-go, he was game to try our ideas, and took the time to ask questions to ensure he knew what our expectations were. During our time together, he was all smiles and gave excellent suggestions and direction so we'd get the best photographs possible. He provided us with a variety of high-quality pictures, from candid to artistic, to remember our day by. And the turn-around to get the final product was well within the timeframe we expected to receive it. Booking him is a no-brainer.

A thank you letter to Joey...

Hello Joey,

I don't think I have ever had such beautiful pictures taken of me in my whole of 40 years....now wait, my dad did capture a very cute moment with bubbles in the park when I was 4...

That said, you are a wonderfully talented and attentive photographer. When we were looking through the photos, I honestly do not remember you being there and taking those shots, but then there they are. Well, there were those ones that you left us nuzzling nose to ear while you ventured off to find a unique perspective. Those I remember.

Working with you has affirmed my belief that everyone has been blessed with gifts, not just skillsets, but a little spark or twinkle. Among other gifts and being a very gentle and generous person, your ability to appreciate beauty and to find it in a particular moment is simply breath-taking.

Your photos have captured my recent "best day ever" in ways that words would fail to describe. Our deepest appreciation for your creativity and art; your sense of service to help those trying to craft an important day; and your efforts to capture the sweetness that will forever remain alive through your work.

My husband Charles and I are extremely happy with our photos and experience with Joey. We couldn't be happier. I showed the photos to a talented photographer friend of mine and he loved them too. He pointed out that the lighting that Joey was able to capture was amazing. Everybody loves the creative double exposure shots that he puts together. Very unique, artistic and interesting. He was so easy and fun to work with, he made us laugh, guided us in a very comfortable way to get the best natural poses. I love the candid shots he got too. When I look at the photos I'm amazed at all the different perspectives he got. How did he do this? It's like there were multiple shooters, but it was just him. He's so warm and friendly, he easily brought the best out of us. He made us love photoshoots! We want to do more. It's kind of ridiculous how much we love our photos. There are SO MANY GREAT ONES. He way over delivered. Gave us way more than we were expecting and made it way more enjoyable than we were expecting. We definitely recommend him to anyone and everyone. We feel so lucky that we found him and we are looking forward to working with him in the future to capture more of our family's special moments.

Joey has such an amazing talent for capturing ‘moments’ which is exactly what we wanted on our wedding day. It’s not the formal photos that remind you how great your day was – it’s the natural moments of fun, excitement, and love that are so important to be documented. Joey’s ability not to miss a moment is absolutely incredible. He has so much energy & is truly passionate about what he does. We also did our engagement session with Joey and couldn’t be more impressed with how he captured ‘us’. There is nothing cookie cutter or staged about his pictures and it was so refreshing. He is truly an artist with his work. We could not recommend Joey more and are SO pleased with the pictures he took of our special day. Thank you Joey Rudd Photography!

Joey & Natalie were the best to deal with. Very professional, their services are very reasonable. With the package we went with we were able to do an engagement photoshoot. The pictures turned out amazing and I am glad we ended up doing it as we had decided against doing anything of the sort before we met Joey. Our preview photos are soooo nice! Can't wait for the rest. Working with Joey & Natalie was such a great experience, very warm welcoming people that made you feel like you've been friends for a long time, there was a great connection with them that is very important when looking for a photographer.

Joey is an incredibly creative and talented photographer!

Zach and I are absolutely blown away by our wedding photos! When we started scrolling through our gallery for the first time, we were speechless.

Joey is incredibly talented, fun and kind. Before our wedding, he met with us a few times to go through logistics and he listened intently to all my hopes and ideas for our photos.

Joey showed up on the morning of our wedding with a calm demeanor, yet excitement to capture our day. He went above and beyond to capture the photos I was excited for alongside photos I could have never imagined. Joey is creative; he plays with light, wind and shapes/buildings/scenery, resulting in the most unique and magical photos you could imagine. It goes without saying that the photo quality and editing style are superb.

Joey captured our day perfectly, juggling two different locations across the city of Ottawa as well as rainy weather; when the rain fell, Joey was extremely helpful as we pivoted our plan for the day and timing for family photos.

We look forward to enjoying our wedding photos for many years to come, and are having a hard time deciding which ones will make it onto the walls of our home!!

Thank you for everything Joey!!

The Absolute Best

We have had the absolute honour of having Joey document both our elopement and our big wedding party. Not only is Joey fun and easy to work with, but his talent to capture the most beautiful moments is unmatched. During the ceremony, it was as if he wasn't there, yet he captured so many amazing moments. We are forever grateful for the countless, stunning pictures we have and thrilled that we will get to relive such important moments for years to come. It was a true joy working with Joey, and we cannot recommend him enough!
