Hands down - the BEST photographer to work with!

If you are looking for a photographer - LOOK NO FURTHER!!! While looking for a photographer we had narrowed it down to four, with Josh being one of them. We looked through each photographers portfolio, but found ourselves going back to Josh's. Once we realized that we were comparing the other photographers work to Josh's, we knew that we had to choose Josh.

From the moment I contacted Josh, I knew that we had chosen the right photographer to capture our daughters wedding. Not only are his credentials impeccible, he was organized and and made everything seamless and we NEVER worried. From the very beginning, Josh was prompt in answering all of our emails and took the time to answer all of our questions. Due to COVID, we had to postpone the wedding a year and Josh was very understanding and sympathetic and had no issue with moving the date out. On the day of the wedding, he and his wife Nicole spent the entire day/evening making sure to not only capture every moment, he was also able to get all of the shots that we had requested. He took our vision and brought it to life and we couldn't be more grateful.

Twenty minutes before the wedding was to begin, Josh impressed us again when we were informed that the DJ had not shown up. Through all the chaos, panic and tears, Josh made the unfortunate situation bearable with his jovial personality and his positive energy and warmth. Both he and his wife Nicole were very approachable and made everyone feel at ease.

Despite capturing weddings for over 20 years, we were amazed by his continued passion and excitement. He is immensely skilled and creative – don’t expect a checklist of cliché wedding photos with Josh, he has true vision and is not just a guy going through the motions. Josh looks to capture your unique story through his artistic lens. Josh is not just a photographer, he is an artist. His work is timeless and his ability to use light to capture different elements of a scene is a talent that cannot be learned - it is truly a gift.

Overall, Josh managed to capture EVERY aspect of our daughters special day. We were mesmerized by the sneak peek images we received just days after the wedding and we cannot wait to see more. We are blown away by his ability to capture the true essence of who Nina and Caleb are as a couple, as well as as individuals. We were very lucky to have Josh as a part of our daughters wedding day. We were most impressed with his ability to convey their story; he captured every moment as if he'd had been a part of their lives forever. We could not be happier with the results. Any couple looking to truly tell their story needs to look no further than Josh Sailor!!!

Amazing and a true professional!!

Josh and his team were amazing! I nearly screamed when I saw the photos and videos. All through the day Josh was right there where I wanted him: happy, helpful and full of ideas. He treated everyone with such respect and professionalism (which isn’t easy with my family.) My guests were complimenting me on hiring him. He is an altogether wonderful photographer. I can’t say enough about him!

John Arlia
John Arlia
2nd Photographer

Let me introduce myself! My name is Jonathan Arlia and I was born and raised in beautiful Tucson Arizona. Creativity is a core part of who I am, as well as having integrity, genuine friendliness, reliability, and compassion for life and the environment.

Photography is not only my career. It is my dream, ambition, and ongoing commitment of satisfaction to all who hire me! I take pride and enjoyment in the work I do. I also edit each photo and video personally, and professionally.

Meeting and collaborating with people of different diversities is greatly rewarding to me. Being a free spirit, with an ever increasingly bold mindset, has led me to some amazing experiences in life! I am adventurous and am in awe of the magnificent beauty that life grants us!

Maeh Ugay
2nd Photographer

In case you are wondering, my name is pronounced like the month, May, or I usually just tell people my name is Mae (I leave the H behind because it throws a lot of people off). Where did my mom get my name from? My first name is actually Jeremaeh. It’s from the bible name Jeremiah, which means “Jehovah Exalts”.

I started my photography business in 2019 but I have had it as a hobby since 2011. I am working hard to be a full-time photographer one day!

Nicole Sailor
Nicole Sailor

As the wife of a full-time photographer, Nicole has developed as a formidable photographer in her own right. Using Josh's knowledge -- and equipment -- as a solid foundation, Nicole has become an integral memeber of the team, pumping out wonderful photo after photo for over a decade.
