Joshua Fernandez Photography

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $5,500
  • Serves Essex, MD

Hi. I’m Josh. Our work is based in Washington, DC and we’re happy to travel. The best photographs are simple, unobtrusive, and spontaneous. We’ve always sought to remember things exactly how they happened - how we felt. This is how authentic photography captivates us. The goal is to photograph your day as it unfolds naturally. Take a few moments to go through some words from past clients describing their experience with us. You’ll also find us on Google.

Awarded Best of Zola
Josh was awesome to work with! He communicated with us often prior to the photoshoot to ensure we were on board with his ideas and to confirm timing. The day of the photoshoot was no different. He told us his plan and encouraged us to speak up if we had any feedback. With each shot he posed us to make things feel less awkward. Again, if we had any ideas for a particular shot he welcomed that. I would absolutely work with him again!

First and foremost, congratulations! This is an exciting time! Before I begin with all the details, I would like to do away with the formalities and keep it light. Technically speaking, I’m a photographer, but honestly, since establishing my business in 2014, I would consider myself a teammate through this process. I’ve really enjoyed getting to know couples, their families, their stories, and at the end of the day, becoming a good friend. If this vibes with you, we are off to a good start :) Answering questions, transparency in communication, and prompt responses are important to me and I hope that everything I share resonates.

Justin was an absolute blast to work with. His photos included a perfect balance of posed shots and candid shots. He worked with us to develop a plan and was able to execute that plan while allowing us to go with the flow and enjoy the moments. Justin was my favorite vendor to work with throughout the whole process - very personable and friendly.

Hi! Courtney here (that's me on the left!). Shutter and Sound is the brainchild of renowned wedding videographer Ryan Geldermann. Ryan began his wedding videography career in 2010 in Los Angeles and quickly became recognized as one of the top videographers in the U.S.. After relocating to DC and still receiving countless inquiries from all corners of the country, Ryan decided to recruit and train a few talented friends so he could continue offering the quality wedding videography he’s known for in SoCal and eventually over 10 cities. Shutter and Sound is a very small group of filmmakers dedicated to turning your big day into a work of art.

Awarded Best of Zola
We are thrilled with the stunning work of Shutter and Sound! Their highly talented videographers perfectly captured all the love and memories of our wedding day, and helped preserve them in film. Reliving the day by watching our highlight video brought us and our family to tears of joy. Every beautiful moment was captured with crystal-clear visuals from getting ready with our wedding attendants to our sparkler send off at the end of the night. The drone footage and details shots also perfectly blended with the rest of the film and helped set the stage for our perfect day. We can’t thank Shutter and Sound enough for the creativity and care they put into making our wedding video. I highly recommend!

Eric was awesome to work with from the start. He’s a true professional at his work and is extremely personable. He really understood the vision for our wedding and fulfilled it ten times over. We used Eric for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception and for all three he exceeded our expectations. The music was phenomenal and the lighting looks amazing in pictures. He helped us host a great party, was receptive to all of our song requests and preferences, and checked in with us as needed before and throughout the wedding. He kept the energy up all night and knew exactly what to play when. He was also a great emcee, super likable and not the least bit cheesy or abrasive during any announcements during the reception. Everyone complimented how cool he was and what a great set he played. We cannot recommend him enough and can’t wait to party with him again!

From the moment we reached out, Matt was incredibly helpful and always communicated quickly. He helped us not only select a perfect menu, but walked us through every minute of our wedding day and made sure we had thought through everything so it would run perfectly smoothly. Zeffert and Gold took care of so much for the set up and the day of servers were always around and making sure the bride and groom had everything they needed. We had an outdoor summer wedding and asked Zeffert and Gold if they could help us serve champagne with popsicles in it and Matt worked with us to make sure this would be affordable and do-able. It was a huge hit! If you're looking for a company to bring your day to life, this is the one!

My husband and I originally didn’t want a wedding video, thinking that photos would be enough - but now that we’re on the other side of the big day we're so glad we ended up getting a video!! Stan was super sweet and easy to communicate with. He arrived around the same time as our photographer, and got lots of great shots of us without feeling like he was directing or was in the way. I didn’t even notice him at our ceremony to be honest - but that didn’t stop him from getting excellent footage! Our final video is a beautiful compilation of intimate and big moments, and I’ve been watching it on repeat since we got it. The footage is crisp and clear, he caught beautiful moments, and his editing style is smooth and natural. He also provided us with uncut versions of our ceremony and the speeches at dinner, which is super special - all within a few weeks! Thanks to Stan for the wonderful video, and would definitely recommend Stan to anyone who is looking for a videographer!

It is my joy and privilege to serve couples by transforming their dreams into a celebration that will be remembered for a lifetime. With a commitment to intentionality, every detail is carefully curated to reflect your unique love story. Thoughtfulness is at the heart of our approach, ensuring that every element resonates with meaning and significance. It's our promise to prioritize your vision and desires throughout the entire planning process.

Sarah and the rest of the Events by Rose team were the MVPs of our wedding planning process. From the start Sarah took time to get to know us as a couple, to ensure our wedding day reflected who we are. Sarah was always 10 steps ahead, thinking about every little detail of our special day. Her organization was extremely impressive to see first hand. Even the vendors we spoke with face-to-face raved about her organization, professionalism, and how easy it is to work with her. I think it speaks volumes that everyone she interacts with (clients and vendors alike) love to work with her. She is outstanding at balancing all the moving parts of a wedding with ease, and always made sure we felt comfortable with every step of the process. Sarah always took the time to help us finetune even the smallest of details, making sure the day would include everything we wanted. So many of our friends have said the wedding process was one of the most stressful times in their lives, but we did not have that experience at all and this is hugely attributed to Sarah and her team. The experience was enjoyable and exciting, and we never once found ourselves overwhelmed. We would have never been able to make it to our wedding day while still having fun, if we didn’t have Sarah leading our team. On the day of our wedding, Sarah and her team were OUTSTANDING! We felt cared for by each member of the team and our guests felt the entire day flowed perfectly, all thanks to Sarah. Every small detail was planned out and went exactly as planned. Sarah went above and beyond, making sure we had everything we needed, all while managing our vendors and guests. If you are wondering if you should hire Events by Rose for your wedding the answer is absolutely yes! Thanks again Sarah and the Events by Rose team for everything you did, we literally could not have done it without you. You helped make our perfect wedding day a reality!

Hi, I'm Lee. Dreamer, Romantic, Storyteller... Growing up I didn't get it, I can tell you there is more than one photo of me with a bored and anxious look on my face. I can still hear my dad, who has now passed, say "if you don't sit still we will be here all day". As an adult, I now get it. Not being able to talk with my dad everyday or ask for advice, I'm so thankful to have albums full of family photos to hold in my hands. Fast forward to today as a DC wedding photographer, I want this for you. Nothing gives me more pleasure than capturing wedding photos that you and your family will cherish for a lifetime.

Honestly one of the many memorable moments of our wedding were the moments we shared with Lee our photographer! The final pictures were stunning and captured all the moments Brian and I wanted. On top of that, Lee was there to calm my nerves! The smiles and the waves he’d give us assured me I was in good hands. The bridal party and guests loved him! He included a portable photo booth (not those giant ones that were in the way) which had the options for gifs or regular photos and were sent directly to our guests phones! Everyone loved it!! Lee is fun, timely, organized, determined and focused to get the best shot and supports his brides and grooms! He is the best and highly recommend Lee!

He was wonderful to work with and was a true professional -- he planned all of the sound requirements (mics, speakers, etc.) for the ceremony, and immediately set an upbeat energy from the very start of cocktail hour, to reception, and all the way through the night. The dance floor was absolutely jumping and we've heard rave reviews from our guests about how much they loved the music and DJ! We would hire Paul again in a heartbeat. Thank you Paul!

No amount of words can express our gratitude to Lester & Dreisbach Photography and I could spend all day talking about how wonderful they are. They are beyond amazing and such beautiful human beings! We had searched high & low for the perfect fit and they both exceeded our expectations. Our wedding was back in November 2021 and the weather was pretty much all seasons rolled into one day making things extremely difficult and how they made it all work is a miracle! From our first Skype meeting(thanks Covid) they were so warm, friendly, down to earth and such fun, we talked for hours! We literally booked them that day as we didn't want anyone else. The communication was fantastic and their service was like no other, especially during such an uncertain time with Covid. They were flexible and really made us feel special on our day, you can see just how passionate they are about their craft! Their passion is infectious and we had sooooooo much fun having our photos taken by them, the freezing cold wind & jumping over fences were all made worth it. They're both so dedicated and one of our photos always makes me smile knowing that they had thrown my veil up into the air to try and get a great shot and had to run off into the bushes to avoid being in the photo(their dedication and yet care for you is next level!). They also made all our guests feel super at ease when taking photos. Considering how short on time we were and the weather constraints, we got so many amazing photos and we loved that you not only get the "editorial"/artistic shots but also beautiful candid moments captured that you don't even see yourself! From the bottom of our hearts, thank you so much we are forever grateful for having been able to have you apart of our special day!

I'm a laid back, upbeat and silly (some might say incredibly funny, but whatever) person with a penchant for making everyone feel like an old friend. I enjoy being with people so my enthusiasm and joy on your wedding day is genuine! The greatest compliment I receive from couples again and again is that they feel so comfortable with me that taking photos wasn't stressful, in fact, it was fun! Your wedding day should be enjoyable and stress free; My goal is to make that happen as a team with you and all your other vendors, because you deserve nothing less than an awesome wedding day.

From the first Zoom call we had with Rachel, we could tell she was our kind of person. She was very knowledgeable and had great advice leading up to the wedding. We also loved the engagement shoot we did with her, as it gave us the chance to get to know her a bit in person and get comfortable so that there was no awkwardness on the day-of. Rachel embodies the perfect balance between professionalism and personable. She’s goofy and funny yet fully in charge and assertive. Her personality meshed so well with ours and it really showed in the pictures. She captured the candid special moments beautifully and also gave great direction for the posed formals. She did an outstanding job wrangling my massive & hectic family! We were so happy with how the photos turned out - it’s been challenging to pick favorites to print because they’re all great!! I can’t say enough good things about Rachel (and her assistants)! If you’re on the fence about booking her or worried about the cost, I can say she’s 100% worth it!!

BOOKING NOW FOR Winter 2024- Summer 2025! Established in 2020 Specializing in romantic, garden style floral arrangements and event design for your most important occasions. I truly believe that flowers are art and love the way they can brighten your day

I hired The Polar Peddler for the floral decor for my wedding and I was stunned with how perfectly Dana just 'got' my vision! I asked for jewel tones with an emphasis on varying texture. I didn't have many 'must have' flowers but I did have a few I liked and a few I didn't, and that's all I had to tell her! I had purchased some dyed/dried florals and peacock feathers before I organized with Dana and she was even willing to add these items in for me! When she showed up the morning of, I was astounded at how well she made it look like those elements were part of the plan the entire time. I can't tell you how many compliments that I got on the florals throughout the night and as the bride, having so many of your friends and loved ones complimenting your vendors so highly is such a win! Not to mention the numerous times I was told by basically anyone who communicated with Dana the day of just how sweet and helpful she was! My only regret was not booking the Bloom Bar and having her do even more florals as they were such a hit! My mother in law and aunt even asked to take some of the bouquets home at the end of the night! This vendor was the perfect addition to my day. The Polar Peddler brought my wedding day vision all together with the florals and Dana could not have been more charming to work with from start to finish. Do not hesitate to hire The Polar Peddler for any of your floral needs, big or small! I know I'll be reaching out again for florals and more in the future!

A dad, a son, a brother and a jack of all trades musician that loves to rock out any chance I get. I grew up in New York City. My inclination towards photography came from classic street photography and photojournalists from all over the world that told their stories through a lens. It made me pick up a camera and start shooting. Now, living in Maryland I shoot all sorts of stories and moments locally, domestically, and abroad. It's taken me a while to figure out what my "thing" is but I've come to figure out that I'm a milestone photographer. The moments your life that have proven to be meaningful -- I'll be there.

I have known Sam, the owner, for a number of years. There are many things I can speak to about his business and him as a person. First thing is that feeling you get when you meet someone that is so fun to be around that you simply don't want to stop being around them. Sam puts a smile on my face every time I see him and hear his contagious laugh. Sam also crushes the benchmark for professionalism and success in the wedding industry. What I mean by that is that if 9/10 photographers get 5 star reviews, on the same scale Sam would deserve 7 or 8 stars. He is well beyond many of our peers and it shows in the quality of his work. If I was to get married again I would choose Sam over any of the 60 or so photographers I have worked with over the years. Hands Down! Chris Hiltz Award-Winning Wedding Videographer

Turf Valley and all its staff was so helpful, easy to work with, and professional throughout the planning process and the day of the wedding. They made sure to answer all my questions and the Matre D made sure that my wife and I ate on the day because you are so busy! The venue was absolutely beautiful and made for great photos. The rooms were nice and spacious to get ready in and very clean and comfortable. The food was amazing! And everyone still raves about it. I would definitely chose this venue over and over again.

Floral Impressions is a floral design studio based in Hunt Valley, Maryland. Specializing in hand-gathered bouquets and swoon-worthy centerpieces, we approach every order as an opportunity to embark on a journey of artistic designs inspired by nature. For over 30 years, we’ve carefully created garden-inspired designs for weddings, parties, special events, and corporate gatherings.

Working with Floral Impressions was such a pleasure. They were very responsive throughout the planning process and so kind, making my vision come to life beautifully. The arrangements were gorgeous, detailed, and professional. Teresa really got my vision perfectly, even when I struggled articulating exactly what I wanted. She designed the ceremony decor mostly on her own, and it turned out incredible. My bouquet was everything I dreamed of! More than one guest complimented our centerpieces, which Teresa designed. She also did my sister's wedding flowers so I knew she was talented going in. I couldn't recommend Floral Impressions more highly for your wedding florals!

Hey there! We are so excited you stumbled upon our little corner of the wedding and event world! Working out of Howard County, Maryland and servicing the DMV and Eastern Shore, LoKel provides day-of coordination for the couple who has done most of the "ground work" and just needs a little help bringing it all together so you can focus on your day. Lauren (Lo) and Kelsey come together with their creative spark and years of experience in the wedding and events industry to bring your dreams to life. From grand ballrooms to backyard simplicity, the gals at LoKel have certainly done it all. We cant wait to meet you!

LoKel kept our wedding afloat (literally). From our first meetings to the day of, these two ladies were exactly what us as a clueless couple needed. They asked the questions that we would have never thought to have figured out while completely being supportive of our vision of a wedding. LoKel was able to help us navigate the unexpected Hurricane Ian for our outdoor at home wedding and helped ensure the most fun for our guests and us. They spent the whole morning setting up and I assume problem solving (because if there were any, LoKel took care if it without us knowing) I'd plan ANY event with these two and would encourage any of you to do the same.

I can’t say enough great things about Blue Pit! We needed a space that could hold 45 people for our rehearsal dinner, which is a tall ask, but Blue Pit had the perfect upstairs area for that. Tack on the amazing food, drinks, Photo Booth, affordability, and communication, and it was seriously the easiest part of planning my wedding and everyone had a great time.

Saroj James Hyoju, got into DJ industry upon walking into Latin club in Dallas, Texas in 2015. Coming from band background, he was surprised to see how people were moved by “Gasolina”, a reggaeton song. Observing how DJ was controlling the crowd’s energy while enjoying himself, this made him curious about club music genres, besides metal and rock. Following immediately, he hosted a Bring Your Own Beer (BYOB) house party, where 50 people showed up. A week later, he was invited to co-DJ at one of his friends’ wedding reception and rest is the history.

Saroj was great!! He was super helpful leading up to the wedding, the app to choose songs and answer questions was super easy to use and James was awesome as the day approached. Day of, James killed it and kept our guests dancing all night long!

Josie was the one of best decisions we made for our wedding! She is incredibly kind, thoughtful, and thorough. She builds a relation with the couple so everyone is comfortable, and takes the time to get to know you. She asks for input each step of the way, and makes sure that the couples desired shots and ideas are clear to her. She kept us sane throughout the process, and took charge when needed.

I'm Aimee Nguyễn. I’m a sarcastic 28 year old who loves to travel, cook, and snuggle with her cat. I have been photographing all kinds of love since 2017. My main goal on your wedding day is to capture your love and day authentic to you while making you feel comfy and stress-free. I take a lot of my inspiration from dope cinematography and my couples. I want to create visual poetry that speaks to your heart and soul, celebrating all the joy and happiness that surrounds you on your wedding day. My albums are meant to speak to your heart, not just the highlights.

Aimee will not only provide you with high quality photography, but will help make your day fun, fabulous and memorable. We had to change our wedding photographer at the last minute, and Aimee turned out to be the blessing around the corner. She is so comfortable to be around, helps you to be your authentic self in front of the camera and will also cut it up on the dance floor with you! After our wedding, we asked her to do our maternity photoshoot and our baby girl’s first birthday photos. We have all them on display in our home and will be asking her take photos of our lives for as long as she wants to be behind a camera. I can’t rate higher than 5 stars, but I would if I could. Please believe me when I say booking Aimee as your photographer will be the easiest part of your wedding planning, and all future photoshoots for life.
