Wedding Photography

“Joseph is an award winning and published destination wedding photographer based in Abilene, Texas offering wedding photography locally and abroad. Joseph was voted by DWHA as one of the top destination wedding photographers in the world in 2020. Joseph offers a candid approach when shooting. He is primarily a natural light photographer, using artificial lighting when needed. His style is unique with a classical foundation and a fine art twist. He constantly adapts to the lighting, environment, and clients to ensure that the memories captured are timeless.”

Hi, my name is Joe and I would love to be a part of your special day! There is no greater honour for a photographer than being trusted with photographing a couples wedding. I absolutely love my job and having the opportunity to meet so many people. Getting a first hand glimpse into their relationship, friendships, and family is what makes it so rewarding.

Wedding photographers, unlike other vendors, are extremely involved with the wedding day. Through my years of experience I have learned how to approach this. I strive to make my clients my number one priority from the first contact to the reveal of the final edited images. For this reason, being comfortable and familiar with each other is very important. I can happily say I have made some great friendships with a large number of my previous clients.

My approach to wedding photography is very fluid and changeable with each couple, venue, and day that I am involved with. I will be shooting in a candid style throughout the ceremony, capturing the special and natural moments. These often end up being the best photos. For the Bride, Groom, and their parties, I like to allocate certain times throughout the day to allow me to take requested photos. I also offer pre and post wedding shoots. For example: Engagement, Boudoir, Trash the Dress, etc.

Bellow you will find some information and helpful links.

Engagement

“An engagement photography session is when a professional photographer takes pictures of you and your fiancé in a casual setting, to capture your love and happiness genuinely. Your engagement is a wonderful time in both of your lives, and a photo shoot is a great way to commemorate that. While wedding photographs have a formal look and feel to them, engagement photographs have the appeal of freedom and creativity: You can choose your outfit and location and have fun while capturing precious, intimate one-on-one moments without all your guests and wedding party present. For a unique engagement shoot, you can choose a place that has significance to your relationship, such as the place of the proposal, a favorite spot you two share, or the location of your first date.”

Vow Renewal

“A vow renewal is an opportunity for a couple to renew the vows that they made to each other when they first got married. It is a way to commemorate a love that has deepened or matured between a couple. A vow renewal ceremony is not meant to be a second wedding. Instead, it is meant to be a more personalized and intimate affair to be celebrated with close friends and family.”

Elopement

“Whether it’s to save money on the wedding, to avoid complicated family dynamics, or simply to have a more personal wedding experience, it seems more and more people are favoring the idea of eloping over a traditional wedding ceremony than ever before.
People are getting married later, caring less about tradition, and more about what they want as a couple. Don’t feel like wearing a white dress in front of all your friends and family? You don’t have to. Passing on a ceremony, but still want gorgeous photos to remember the day? Splurge on a photographer. Elopements have gone from being thought of as exclusively late-night, spontaneous rendezvous in Vegas to being seen as unique, intimate memories just as special as any big wedding.”

Destination Wedding

“A destination wedding is a wedding that is held in a setting away from your hometown. Oftentimes a destination wedding and the subsequent honeymoon are celebrated at the same resort venue.

What’s a destination wedding like? Picture yourselves in a warm, luxurious atmosphere with happy friends and family toasting the two of you after recuperating from travel time. Music plays and a feast of fine food awaits.”

We did a family session with Joe during our recent vacation. He was super easy to work with from the start. When we arrived, he was very friendly and put us right at ease. He was great with our kids, and the pictures turned out wonderfully. He takes pictures from multiple angles and has an eye for detail. He is not afraid to jump in the water or get in the sand to get the right shot. I highly recommend Joe and will definitely contract with him again on our next visit to the island.

Grand Cayman Photographer Joseph Linder. Captured our 25-anniversary wedding vow renewal ceremony while on vacation in Grand Cayman. He was so easy to work with and immediately showed his easing personality. He had great ideas for photos and also took our ideas and captured beautiful moments and pictures. We couldn’t be happier with Joe and his pictures. I would recommend him to anyone that wants to capture life’s moments forever.

Joe recently provided photography services to my family of 13 while we were on the Grand Cayman celebrating my 60th birthday in May. He was fantastic to work with!! The photos are so perfect and everyone was so happy with how lovely they turned out. I received the link to photos exactly when he said they would arrive. And, he followed up with me to make sure I received everything and the download worked properly…..which it did. Great service, easy to work with, professional results!!!

The absolute best!! More than willing to work with our schedule. Puts in the extra time and gets absolutely every shot you could want! Great at finding nice locations and excellent poses. The pictures couldn’t have been better. Just had my maternity photos done by Joseph. He is absolutely hands-down the best Grand Cayman photographer I have ever dealt with! He works so well with people and was especially kind with my fiancé and I. He knows just the right angles and just the right positioning in his photography as well as perfect timing of the right light needed in photos. It was nothing but a positive experience with Joe and I highly recommend you to use him for your photos as well! Overall an outstanding experience.

“Joe is not only a super-talented photographer. He is skilled in working with kids and families. We have had a few family photo sessions with him now, and I am always in awe of his talent.
On the days of the family shoots, he has made us feel totally at ease. And taken away all the stress of catching that perfect moment. Joe makes the preparation and planning easy with clear and efficient communications and always has great location ideas. He knows all the great spots in Grand Cayman!
He has a brilliant judge of personalities. And has a knack of working with everyone in a very friendly, professional and personal way, ensuring he captures the best in all the family.


I have also used Joe for professional business photos and personal portrait sessions and I highly recommend him. You will not be disappointed. I will certainly be using Joe again in the future. If you are looking for aGrand Cayman photographer contact him you won’t be disappointed.


Thank you Joe for capturing special moments that we are able to admire and treasure forever.”

"I hired Joe on a recent trip to Grand Cayman to photograph my family. We were staying at a private villa in the Kaibo area. After doing some research Joe was the only photographer not charging a travel fee and I really liked his work and website.


He had great communication via email before we arrived and contacted me closer to the date to plan the best location for the shoot. Joe met us at our villa and we took a short walk to a beach we didn’t know about facing the sunset with white sand and palm trees.


We ended up getting sent through over 50 photos from the 1-hour photo shoot and they were all spectacular. I would highly recommend Joe to anyone staying on Cayman particularly the north side/ east end. Thanks Joe, see you next time we are down!"

"Joe is an amazing photographer. From the first contact, right through to the wedding he was very accommodating and helpful. He took all of the photos I had asked for and more. He stayed longer than anticipated as we were rather unorganised and captured the most important moments of the wedding in such a beautiful way.


We feel very lucky to have shared our day with him. We are so happy with our photos all of which we received on return from our honeymoon 3 weeks after our wedding, they all turned out wonderfully and we received all of the pictures. Joe even came to my henna party the Thursday before the wedding and took some amazing photos. We highly recommend him."

"Joe has taken our family photos on two separate occasions and we have been thrilled both times. He takes gorgeous photographs and is so fun to work with. He puts everyone at ease so the photos are more natural and relaxed. When I opened our newest photos tonight, I was taken aback by how he captured the true spirit of my family in one of our favorite places. We would love to have every vacation recorded so beautifully!"

"Our experience with Joe was wonderful. He was very prompt with his responses, whether with email or with a telephone call. He knew where the best location was for our family pictures, and he avoided a boring, flat backdrop. Our pictures had palm trees, rocks, and waves in the background. Joe was very friendly and so easy to work with. The pictures were emailed to us within about 48 hours. He was punctual and gave detailed directions on where to meet him. We will definitely contact Joe again, when we return to Grand Cayman, and I highly recommend him."

    1. Hello!
      I am contacting you to see your availability through October, and your packages/pricing. We’re looking to have a very simple and minimal experience for our wedding, short and sweet, small and intimate. I see your half day wedding package for the 4 hours, is that flexible at all? I think 4 hours may be an hour too much, we’ll be renting a venue for about 6 hours with our guests there for about 2-2.5 hours if anything. Please let me know what you think!
      Alyssa
