Hey! I'm Joe, the face and camera behind Joe Gritton Photography
You might think my photography style is a bit like classic Raspberry Ripple – a familiar, dependable foundation with a fun, unique twist that keeps things interesting. Because while many weddings and events share similar structures, what truly lights up my viewfinder (and my face!) is the unique flavour every couple and individual brings to their special occasion. It's that personal spark that makes each story so compelling.
My journey into the world of photography actually began with a hand-me-down camera from my dad. Those first blurry 8MB photos might not have been masterpieces, but I was instantly hooked! Before I knew it, that early fascination blossomed, and I was even winning local photography awards – a pretty exciting start! My trusty camera would probably still tell you I need more coffee breaks, especially after a long day capturing all those precious moments! But honestly, the "tired" feeling is always worth it because, for me, it's all about preserving memories. Whether it's freezing those fleeting seconds of joy on your wedding day or breathing new life into a faded family heirloom through photo restoration, there's a profound satisfaction in creating lasting treasures.
Speaking of things I love... prepare for a slight detour into the wonderfully world of pugs! Yes, I'm a proud owner of not one, but *two* adorable pugs, Lola & Peanut! And my love for furry friends goes beyond just cuddles – I actually run a sister company called Diggle Dog Photography! So, if you happen to have a beloved canine companion who might make a cameo in your photos (or deserves their own photoshoot!), you know who to call!
Ultimately, I'm here to capture your story, your way, with a blend of professional expertise and a genuine passion for creating beautiful, enduring images. Let's chat and see how I can help bring your vision to life!.
