“Growing up I have always been camera shy, feeling awkward in front of the camera. But during the photoshoot with Josh, he was an amazing photographer, guiding me through the whole experience but what made me at ease was his friendship. The most memorable memory was when we were at the Temple of Heaven. Josh was going above and beyond, lying down on the Beijing street ground so that he can get an amazing perspective of me and the temple of heaven. At the same time many Chinese people were taking pictures of him and his dedication. What makes a great photographer is his perspective but even more his love for his work, and Josh has both. Thank you so much Josh for sharing your gift with the world.”

“We had a fantastic experience getting our family photos taken by Josh. Communication was excellent, the location was a beautiful Chinese courtyard and we love our photos. We asked Josh for a specific photo to be taken and he did it without any issue. The photo session was quick and easy and he managed to get our little boy smiling and looking at the camera! Josh also offered a great variety of good quality prints delivered straight to our door! A great and smooth experience overall and would definitely recommend Josh!”
— Kennedy Family
“Joshua has so much creativity. His photography skills and his design skills too and if he says something will be done by a specific date it is. I have worked with him both personally for family photos as well as professionally and my favorite photo I have in my house is of a man Josh came across in his travels.”
— Melinda
“Josh has been the go-to photographer for our family for portraits and important family events. We really appreciate the creativity and perfection he puts into his work and would recommend him to anyone looking for true excellence in a photographer.”

“Josh was the photographer for our wedding and also for our newborn photos after the birth of our first child. His photos are beautiful and really capture the mood and feelings surrounding the situation. Josh’s mild-mannered temperament makes him easy to work with, and you also get the sense that a lot of thought has already gone the shoot.”
— Chris & Jess
“Communication with Josh about arranging our photoshoot was clear and he was quick to reply. He was very accommodating with our family’s schedule. The photos were professionally done yet required little equipment set up and take down time because Josh clearly knows what he’s doing! One of my children isn’t very comfortable with being photographed but Josh made the whole family feel at ease and this shows in our candid family photos.”
— Joanne
“I’ve know Josh a long time and can testify to his great range as a photographer – from portraits to landscapes to events. I was lucky enough to have him shoot my engagement photos and they were stunning. Beyond that, he made it so easy. He worried about everything so we didn’t have to: locations, posing, making us feel comfortable in front of the camera, etc. He’s great. 5/5”
— Daniel & Hillary
“Josh did such a great job with our family photos. Even though my kids did not know him well, he put them at ease and they were really able to be themselves for the pictures. He was so patient with the challenges of getting small children to look at the camera and stay in the frame. He also knew what I would like as a mother without me even telling him. He took great pictures of my children in all different types of groupings that will be treasures for years to come. We would definitely use Josh again for family portraits.”
— Mary
“Joshua has a passion for photography and that really comes out in his work. The photos were amazing. The excellence of the results comes from taking the time to think of a great location, patience to work with the children, experimenting with different ways to take the pictures and then dedicating the time required to select the best shots and touch-up the pictures. The whole family enjoyed it. You were especially considerate to go at a pace the children could handle which enabled them to stay engaged.”

“Josh helped me capture my life in China with a portrait session at the Confucius temple. He was easy to work with, flexible, and brought an artistic eye to the session. The finished product gave me a variety of photos for personal and professional use. Thanks, Josh!”
— Rachel
“We hired Josh to take family photos of our daughter, son-in-law, and grandchildren. The resulting photos were fabulous – treasures! Josh really connects and gets each of the kids to show their personalities, which are all so different. He really captured their personalities! I love the different groupings he put together. Thank you, Josh!.”

“Josh shot our wedding for us, and did phenomenal work. He had things planned out so we were able to get the pictures we needed in a timely manner without stress or worry. The experience was fun and easy going, and I would highly recommend Josh for any photography needs. He is experienced, and turns out fantastic work.”
— Mary & Matthew
“We were so thankful to have Joshua there on our wedding day 10 years ago. Josh took beautiful snapshots of our ceremony and reception, and he also captured many special moments and scenes throughout the day. He is detailed oriented and artistic, and he put lots of thought into how to get the best collection of photos for us. Also he was great to work with! We were delighted with the photos we received. We highly recommend Joshua not only for weddings but for any family portraits or events.”
— Joe & Joyce
“First, Josh is creative and has good ideas for photos. He envisioned the setting we would have the wedding ceremony beforehand and told us about an idea he had in mind. His idea was for us to be in front of the window have the light in the background. His idea couldn’t be more perfect. Our best photo for our wedding day was his idea. On the other hand, Josh is willing to listen to our ideas and desires of what we want for photos like a bridesmaid picture and a certain background. Next, Josh can be counted on to capture each moment even if they are occurring in different areas. My husband and I got ready in different places and he organized his schedule to take pictures at both places. Also, he pays attention to detail and captures the setting of the wedding. Throughout the years, we have really appreciated that Josh took pictures of the decoration and different parts of the wedding ceremony and reception. Finally, Josh was very good with communicating about the timing of pictures and when we would receive our photos. We got our photos in a timely manner. He even helped us learn how to use an online program to create a photo album book to send to our family members. My husband and I would highly recommend Josh for anyone who is having an upcoming wedding or just need a photographer for any occasion.”

“Working with Josh was hands-down the easiest and best decision we made when it came to planning the details of our wedding. His attitude through the whole process was laid-back but professional. He walked us through any questions and ideas that we had to make sure that we could capture as many special moments as possible, making suggestions that were based on his experience as well as our personalities and preferences. He helped us get through all the awkward planning of posed photos with so many different people, and made sure to gently remind us when and where we needed to be to get some of the best shots possible. He also did an amazing job capturing candid moments of the ladies getting ready before the wedding, the anticipation and love-filled moments leading up to, during and after the ceremony, and of course our guests enjoying each others’ company during the reception. Having him there felt natural and the photos that we received were beautiful. Each time we go through them we feel like we are practically still there. I do not think we could have found a better person or photographer for the job! We are very lucky and grateful to have been able to have him with us on our big day. I would highly recommend Josh to anybody looking for a photographer who is not only talented and professional, but a great source of calm and focus during an event that can go by in the blink of an eye.”

“We had an excellent photo shoot with Josh Haller for our 29th Wedding Anniversary! He picked a beautiful location, the Summer Palace, for my husband and I and used extremely creative and fun poses for the shots! He was so patient and kind and made the experience really enjoyable throughout the whole session. We highly recommend him – our photos are awesome!”
— Fredleen Birch
“We did a maternity photo shoot with Joshua. The shoot was a lot of fun. Josh helped us feel comfortable in front of the camera. He had ideas for creative photos and also included shots we wanted. We were very happy with the photos we received. They showcase the joy we felt as we waited to meet our child. We would recommend Joshua to anyone who wants to capture special family moments.”
— Salime & Sam
“We loved the portraits Josh took for our son’s senior year of high school. The group photos in graduation gowns brought out the joy of the occasion. Taking the portraits on the Great Wall added to the experience, as these students had lived their teenage years in China.”
— Kathy
“Joshua regularly designs various kinds of eye-catching and aesthetically beautiful promotional materials for us which communicate effectively, often on short notice and with only general guidance. His event photography captures the people-centred life of our community, combining artistic instincts with excellent technique. Joshua is a responsible and diligent worker, who goes above and beyond to make sure everything he is involved with runs smoothly.”
