Joshua Wyborn Photographic

Exec summary (who doesn’t love one of those…): down to earth beautiful photographs, very, very quick turn around to our gallery, great and honest comms from 1st contact, made us comfortable, took the pressure off and lots of fun. We live in Cheshire (not the Cheshire wives bit) but love the lakes so had our wedding in Carlisle at Lady Gilfords House (beautiful venue/room, lovely staff) and reception on Windermere at Low Wood Bay. On the lead up in planning we didn’t know a lot about wedding photography so started initially talking to family/friends for recommendations. Spoke to lots of photographers nearer to home and some in/near the lakes. Some over the phone, on Teams, video calls etc. There are some obviously off the scale £ photographers but in the main, we found the majority were in a similar ball park in terms of costs so realised it came down to do we like the photographer and their images, that’s why and when we decided it wasn’t Joshua…just kidding obviously 😆. We started as with others by looking at reviews, Joshua’s website, images and social feed we liked Joshua’s images and his general vibe, his openness and transparency in talking about mental health so set up an initial call. In the call we talked about what we were looking for, styles we liked etc, we really appreciated his straightforward approach. After the call we decided that of the multitude of others we had spoken to it was Joshua we had a good feeling for. After the call Joshua quickly put together a proposal, we stayed in touch with questions, quick responses and set up a follow on call where we discussed final options and settled on Joshua. We decided we wanted the ceremony covered and some portraits done at a few sites in the lakes. On the big day Joshua was waiting for us individually, it was the 1st we’d met in the flesh, so to speak, he quickly put us both at ease and a rapport soon settled that remained all day and in essence Josh settled almost into the background not at all in your face but let the ceremony flow taking pictures unobtrusively though some obviously more posed. Josh took great control over the planned group photos before our families headed off and we went into the lakes. Josh took us to three locations agreed between us, Castlerigg Circle, Thirlmere and the jetty at Low Wood bay. He helped and guided us throughout the day and we had a great afternoon and a laugh taking images for a few hours across the three places getting us into and onto things for some beautiful images. Josh made the photos feel natural and got some brilliant organic laughs. Although like us you’ll probably speak to different photographers we cannot recommend Joshua enough, we had a beautiful day helped by Joshua and the amazing images he’s produced.

When booking our wedding photographer Josh was instantly our first choice!! Through the pre wedding couple portraits and on the wedding day photos we couldn’t have felt more comfortable with Josh! He put us at ease, made us laugh and felt like just being with an old friend! On our wedding day he effortlessly fit in with all the guests and helped the day run smoothly! All our photos are absolutely incredible! Gauged the posed to candid ratio well! & we have so many amazing memories and laughs captured on film!! 100% would recommend to all!

Joshua was very friendly and instantly made us feel at ease. He was unobtrusive and professional and made the whole process of having our pictures taken a pleasure. Would definitely recommend!

We booked Josh to photograph our last minute registry office ceremony in January and we couldn't be happier with the results! From start to finish he made the process simple, relaxed and fun, which fitted perfectly with the vibe of our day. Josh is a fantastic photographer and sees more than just what’s in front of the camera and I’m so grateful we now have some beautiful photos of our family to treasure for years to come! We’re so pleased with them that we’ve booked a post wedding shoot to get our outfits back on and visit a more scenic location once the weather is nicer!

Josh couldn’t have been any better. He made us both feel so comfortable and captured the day perfectly.

I cannot recommend Josh highly enough His photos are superb and fantastically captured our friends and family on our wedding day Arguably more importantly though, he is the nicest chap to deal with and genuinely felt much more like a friend than a photographer Discussions before the wedding were great - very friendly, knowledgeable, suggested various tips and never tried to upsell anything

Josh was epic, there was no awkwardness with him and he appreciated our hatred for the typical staged portraits. We loved him and so did our son. He had us laughing and got natural photos of us that we will cherish for life. He was the first photographer I looked at and was soon clear how he was the guy for us. He has a laid back approach which I definitely think helps when your wedding day is so overwhelming. You're a fool if you don't book him.

Josh was there throughout our process both as a photographer and a friend, he really helped to make us feel at ease and I was confident he had everything in hand. We’ve had so many compliments on his photography skills, if you want something a bit different and an eye for detail he’s your man! Also if dry humour is your cup of tea ( it is mine) then you’ll have a great laugh too!

His laid back personality makes you feel at ease having a camera pointed in your direction. Despite Josh being more than 6ft tall he just blends in and you forget he's got a camera. Picture quality is second to none you can see the passion in each blog, each photo and the way he keeps in touch with past clients. This is more than a job to Josh it's a much loved opportunity to be creative and create his own stamp on the boring bits around him.

Couldn’t recommend Josh highly enough. He put us completely at ease from the second we met him at our pre-wedding couples shoot and took a lot of the stress out of the big day. He’s easygoing and just fit in so well on the day it didn’t feel as though someone was suddenly sticking a camera in my face (which for someone who hates having their picture taken was a big plus!). Also, his photos are incredible and prices very reasonable for the quality of service.
