The Best Photographers
We truly cannot say enough incredible things about Joe and Elin. From the very beginning, they were an absolute dream to work with. They were professional, organized, responsive, and so clearly passionate about what they do. I actually found Joe and Elin through a recommendation from our DJ, and then I was lucky enough to collaborate with them through my job. Getting to see them work with so many couples before my own big day was such a gift. I watched firsthand how they care for their clients, how seamlessly they run a wedding day, and how consistently they deliver beautiful, emotional galleries. By the time our wedding arrived, I already knew we were in the very best hands, and they still exceeded every expectation! Throughout the planning process, they made everything feel easy and seamless. They answered every question, helped us feel prepared, and brought such a calm, confident presence that immediately put us at ease. On the wedding day, that energy meant everything. They kept us on schedule without ever making us feel rushed and somehow managed to be everywhere at once while still being completely unobtrusive. Everyone in the wedding party absolutely LOVED them and has said over and over again what a wonderful job they did. But beyond their professionalism, what truly sets Joe and Elin apart is their heart. They genuinely cared about us, not just as clients, but as people. They captured the big, emotional moments so beautifully, but also the small, quiet in-between moments that we’ll cherish forever. Some of my favorite photos were just our real reactions and emotions in the moment, and I love that. Looking through our photos feels like reliving the entire day all over again. They went above and beyond in every way, and we are so incredibly grateful they were part of our wedding. If you’re looking for photographers who are talented, dependable, and deeply invested in telling your story... Joe and Elin are it!
Simply the best
After your venue — and your partner (in that order) — your photographer is the most important choice you’ll make for your wedding. They’re the ones who help you preserve the day forever. They’re also with you through so much of it, so you want people who make you feel comfortable, relaxed, and genuinely add to the experience. Joe and Elin do exactly that. From start to finish, they partnered with us to make sure everything ran seamlessly — from helping us build a detailed timeline to ensuring everyone felt included and cared for throughout the weekend. We lost count of how many guests asked, “Who are your photographers? They’re the nicest people!” or commented on how Joe and Elin made the day even better — and how often do you hear that? They captured every moment beautifully, brought a sense of calm and fun to the day, and left us with photos we’ll treasure forever. Joe and Elin are the easy choice — and one of the best decisions you’ll make for your wedding.
Response from vendor•Nov 4, 2025You guys are the best!! Thank you so much for including us in your perfect weekend. We're so happy that you love your photos and we truly had the best time with you all!A Dream To Work With
The entire process of working with Joe from beginning to end has been a dream. My husband and I immediately felt a strong connection with Joe from early communications and had this feeling like he was a great fit for us photographer style wise and with his demeanor. Not only is he kind, incredibly approachable and a strong communicator, he also has a strong background in photographer and it shows. We booked our engagement shoot with Joe and knew we had made the right decision for our big day. Not only are we absolutely in love with our pictures from our wedding but many family and friends have commented on how wonderful he was to work with, along with his second shooter Tara Sullivan. Both of them wrangled my large family and wedding party with ease and left every very impressed. I could not recommend Joe Dolen enough!
Response from vendor•Nov 4, 2025Hayley! Thank you so much for your amazing words, they truly mean so much to me! We had so much fun being with you all on your big day!The best
I’m so thankful to have worked with Dolen photography. They are incredible!! Joe was so nice to work with in the planning phase- he thoroughly explained the process, options, typical timelines, and all that goes with wedding photography! He also took the time to get to know us which was so great, we instantly felt comfortable with him! He had another wedding on our date but enlisted Charles as our lead photographer and Julia as the second. They were incredible! They helped pose us and gave us cues, found so many different spots to take the pictures, and they both had slightly different styles which has worked out so beautifully for my photos!! They were both so nice and enjoyable to work with, we’re so lucky to have had them photograph our wedding. They are true professionals with incredible artistic talent. One last exciting thing- I was promised a sneak peek of 25 photos- I got 75!!! And less than 72 hours later! That was the best surprise and made me, my husband, and our families so happy. We’re so excited to see the full portfolio which will be in only 4-6 weeks! I highly recommend Dolen Photography. Pictures are such an important part of the day and I’m so lucky to have had such important moments captured so beautifully.
Response from vendor•Nov 4, 2025Thank you so much!! You guys are awesome and we're so happy that Charles and Julia were able to be with you on your big day! We hope to be able to work with you again in the future! Cheers!!
