ABOUT YOUR PHOTOGRAPHER

Hi, I'm Joey, from Casartelli Photography

I believe your wedding day deserves to be documented honestly, not staged for a highlight reel that never happened. My work combines documentary style shooting, with an editorial edge. Natural light, real reactions, minimal direction, and an editing style that looks true to life, so that you remember the day exactly as you lived it.

To me this was never just about handing over a set of files. It is about giving you something that evokes emotion. Photographs you’ll be proud to show to future generations.

With this approach, couples often tell me they forgot they were even being photographed, which to me, is exactly the point.

  • "Joey was the best decision we made for our wedding. I found Joey to be a clear communicator, both in prior engagement but most importantly on the big day. We aren't the most natural in front of a camera, but he made us feel completely at ease when it was just the two of us (plus him!) Some of the photos he took I still can't believe are us. He made such an effort with our guests too and we really had so much positive feedback about him. I can't thank you enough Joey, you were absolutely brilliant and you gave us memories that will last a lifetime."
