Joe Appel Photography

So many times when I present a collection of images to a couple they'll find themselves overwhelmed with emotion. I've thought a lot about this and believe it's because so much happens so fast on a wedding day that your mind can only process a certain amount in the moment. When you see those authentic images that tell your story all of the information that your mind stored during your wedding is released. It's amazing how powerful images are. I am grateful to be able to give my couples photos that they'll treasure for life.

Your photos should do more than show you what you looked like. They should make you remember how you felt on your wedding day. I bring the documentary, story-telling skills I perfected as a photojournalist for newspapers and magazines to your wedding. Sure we'll do portraits and detail photos but there's much more to weddings than that. Images of the real moments between you as a couple and those you share with your loved ones are the ones that you'll linger over and treasure as years go by. I'll be there to tell your story.
