Joe TickNow Photography

Working in the wedding industry for almost a decade now, I’ve met many photography vendors over the years. I’ve had the pleasure to work with Joe at a number of wedding events over the years. His photography work keeps getting better and better– his professionalism, positive attitude and sincere demeanor remains consistent and steadfast! Even when the going gets tough (and we certainly encounter hectic moments in our line of work!), he is always calm and smiling. Joe is genuine and kind to everyone. We’re always excited to see Joe at events– he is a joy to work with!

Joe is one amazing & super talented photographer. Our wedding venue recommended Joe as our wedding photographer. We checked out few other photographers & after seeing his wedding portfolio, immediately we thought Joe is definitely our guy! The photos that he took were just absolutely beautiful & he’s also great guy to work with. We were very comfortable with him ever since the first day we met him. Very cool guy, polite, & friendly.
We would definitely recommend him to anyone!

Joe Photographed our wedding in 2012 and we were so happy with his work. He did an amazing job from the engagement photos to the wedding day. We could not have asked for a better fit. Thanks Joe! :-)

Ever since the day we met Joe, my husband and I knew right there and then that he was the one. We felt very comfortable with Joe and love his work. He cares about our opinions and shares his thoughts with us. My husband’s job requires him to do mandatory OT and we had to reschedule our engagement photo shoot with Joe. We felt really bad but Joe was very understanding and worked around our schedule. He offered a lot of useful tips and recommendations for us as well throughout the whole stressful time of wedding planning. Not only is he a super professional photographer, be he was also a great guidance and company throughout the whole process.
On wedding day, the limo guy got us lost and we were running late for the photo taking at the park with my bridal party. Joe and his assistant was able to quickly come up with awesome ideas and took many stunning photos for us even though we were in a hurry. That is truly amazing and requires 100% skill. All of our friends and family compliment on how wonderful the photos are. My husband and I cannot thank him enough for the beautiful photos he had helped us capture for the Engagement and Wedding photos. We are so lucky to have him as a part of our wedding team. We definitely recommend him to everyone, friends and family! Thank you Joe! ^_^

Joe was absolutely amazing at both our wedding and for the engagement photo session! He went above and beyond to make sure that we were comfortable and that the photos met what we were looking for. He understood our personalities and what we were looking for in the photos and took the lead on both sessions. He was never pushy and was completely open to our ideas.
I love that we also received all of the raw photo files as well. We received so many compliments about our wedding pictures, I would recommend Joe to anyone!

Joe is a master of his craft. Our engagement session was outdoors on a bright, winter day, while our wedding took place in an indoor, candlelit atmosphere, and Joe captured equally incredible photos of each event. He is talented and versatile, creative and genuinely caring. His photos blend traditional qualities with slightly unexpected elements that make every image unique and artistic. He saw things we didn’t, and after the wedding it was so exciting to find that Joe got pictures of all the little moments and decorations and interactions that we missed because we were so busy being brides! My wife and I felt at ease with him, as did our friends and families. Everyone is amazed with the results and we get endless compliments on the photographs. We could not have asked for more!

We found Joe on Unilocal for my wedding. How lucky we were! Joe is incredibly professional and talented! We could not have asked for more for our wedding photographer.
From our first meeting with Joe at a Starbucks in our neighborhood, We knew we were dealing with an incredible talent. His photos were just beautiful. We signed with him right away.
We were really uncomfortable with having photos taken of us, and Joe just made us feel so at ease. With the package we chose, an engagement session was included, and in the end it was really an excellent idea. It was not something we were planning on doing, but we were glad we did, We got to know Joe, and he got to know us. It made the wedding day such a breeze and we felt so at ease because of it.
He arrived early on our wedding day, and we wanted the portraits before our ceremony. He was really able to stay on schedule an the day ran quite smoothly. He even had a sewing kit that I could borrow when I stepped on my dress and tore it. He’ great to be around and so very helpful. Everyone is just amazed at the photographs!!!
We would highly recommend him for your wedding or event!

Our first meeting was at a Starbucks in our neighborhood. Joe bought coffee, and we sat and chatted about what we were looking for. His manner is totally easy-​going; he listened to what we had to say and was very receptive to our ideas and the vision we had for our wedding. Since we didn’t have all the answers, he guided us through some of his ideas based on our conversation.
Joe’s package included an engagement shoot. That wasn’t something we had planned to do, but we thought it would be a good idea to work with Joe once before the wedding so we knew what to expect. Joe spent several hours with us around the city taking pictures. Since the subway line was under construction and messed up where he lived, he drove his own car… and drove us around town. He was very easy to work with, had great ideas for places to shoot, and gave good direction. He was specific and clear without being bossy. We were totally at ease with Joe.
Just a few days later, Joe sent us a link to his blog where he had our engagement photos. They were *stunning* and we were so excited already to be working with Joe.
Joe showed up early to our wedding. He was well dressed, prepared, and was ready to go (even though we weren’t!) Joe went to work getting his equipment and lights set up and photographing the venue. As soon as we started getting dressed, Joe came back and started capturing the moments. He provided just the right amount of direction to get excellent photos, but was never disruptive. When we didn’t know how to pin a corsage, he did it for us.
After we were done getting ready, we took our first pictures as a couple. Joe’s philosophy is that portraits are best taken before any guests arrive so that you’re more focused and not feeling pulled by your guests. This made sense to us, since before anyone arrives, you’re the most fresh, your makeup is the best, the chance of some kind of drama is the lowest, and the guests won’t be getting in the way or getting antsy. We were glad we took our portraits this way as right after the ceremony, we were able to join our guests and not run off and spend time taking photos.
Joe took care of all of our family portraits at the tail end of cocktail hour, checked with us to make sure we had pictures of everyone we wanted, then we moved to dinner. Joe continued to take pictures throughout the night, and at the end of the night, checked with us again to make sure we were happy before leaving.
Two weeks later, when we got back from our honeymoon, we had a link waiting for us with Joe’s blog with the highlights of the pictures. They were stunning… Joe captured the wedding perfectly. You can trust that the photos you see on Joe’s blog are a realistic representation of the actual wedding photos he will take for you.
Joe is an excellent communicator, a hard worker, a generous and kind soul, and a brilliant and experienced photographer.
