I'M JOSIE RENE, A
WEDDING & ELOPEMENT
PHOTOGRAPHER

MY STORY

I'm Josie, a Virginia based photographer, originally from Oregon, who first picked up a camera in high school. I’ve taken photos in 5 different countries, 10 states, and too many towns to count. East to West, from Zimbabwe to Italy! 

I’m 25 years old and besides taking photos, I love spending time with my friends and family, playing on Canva, traveling (literally dream of living in a van), and sipping on coffee.

Last year I graduated Liberty University with a bachelors in Business Management, married my best friend in the whole world, and moved to D.C

And finally, the most important thing about me is that I whole heartedly believe in God and strive to follow Jesus! Whether you are Christian or not, what that means is that my business isn’t just about taking your photos, its about serving you well on your wedding day, or whatever day I am invited into. Yes, I’ll fix your bustle, grab you water, be patient when things take longer than expected (as they often do), and do my best to make your day exactly what you dream of.
