ABOUT ME

PHOTOGRAPHER
STORYTELLER
EXPERIENCE CREATOR

HI, I’M JOSEPH — I’M REALLY GLAD YOU’RE HERE.

I’m glad something brought you to this space. Maybe it’s the images, the energy, or the feeling behind the work — either way, if it resonates, that’s already a beautiful beginning.

I’ve spent over 20 years photographing people — weddings, portraits, celebrations, and all the in-between moments. But what I’ve learned is that the most lasting memories aren’t always about how something looked — it’s how it felt. That’s what I’m always chasing through the lens: truth, tenderness, and beauty, without force.

But I’m not only a photographer. I’m also a creative director and founder, working at the intersection of visuals, story, hospitality, and experience design. Whether it's a once-in-a-lifetime wedding, a brand activation, or a curated event, I care deeply about making people feel taken care of. My background in service and storytelling means clients know I have them covered — calmly, clearly, and with intention.

My job isn’t just to capture a moment or build an event. It’s to create space where people feel safe, seen, and celebrated — and where the experience itself is as meaningful as the result.

And when I’m not behind the lens, I’m building experiences that connect people in other ways — through Mitt Alt Wedding Fairs and now Maven Oslo — designing events for brands, creatives, and communities who want more than just content. They want connection.

My Journey

I studied photography at Parsons School of Design in New York City — where I first learned the craft, but more importantly, how to see people and stories with presence and patience. I launched my first studio in Miami in 2003 and quickly found myself photographing weddings, portraits, and events for international clients across the U.S. and Europe.

FROM NYC TO NORWAY

Eventually, I followed a new path - one that led me to Norway, where I felt both challenged and at home.

In 2017, I founded Mitt Alt Wedding Fairs, a fresh take on the bridal expo rooted in inspiration, design, and community. Over the next several years, we produced over 30 events across Norway, including six flagship shows at Glasmagasinet in Oslo - each welcoming 600+ guests and top-tier collaborators.

That success laid the foundation for MItt Alt Wedding Fairs, a next chapter built for creative expression through lifestyle events, content creation, and cultural connection.

Today, I work between photography, brand building, and event production — still rooted in service, still storytelling, and always creating experiences that feel real.

PLACES THAT FEEL LIKE HOME

With both U.S. and Norway as a place to call home, I’ve been lucky to build a life between places — and to feel at home in more than one.

New York taught me ambition. Miami taught me light. Norway taught me presence.

Traveling, connecting with people across cultures, and capturing love and creative energy across borders is where I feel most inspired — and fully at ease.

Whether you’re here for photography, an event and branding, or something entirely different — I’d love to hear from you.
