About Josh
Hi, I'm Josh and I've been obsessed with a good photograph since before I even knew what that meant.
It started with sneakers. Growing up in Wellesley, Massachusetts, I had a Jordan collection I was convinced deserved to be documented properly. So I grabbed a camera and started shooting. From there it was my local church, then my high school hallways, and then junior year, 2015, I shot my first wedding at 16 years old. I was hooked.
Twelve years and hundreds of weddings later, I still feel that same pull every single time.
I built my craft spending nearly a decade at one of Rhode Island's premier wedding studios, where I honed my eye for both photo and video across hundreds of celebrations, including the weddings of NFL players and local celebrities. In 2025 I took everything I'd built and launched Badlands Photo Co., because I was ready to do things my way: intimate, intentional, and completely focused on you.
I'm based in Rhode Island but I call New England home, and I'll go wherever your love takes us. I've photographed weddings as far as Italy and everywhere in between.
When I'm not behind a lens, I'm logging miles. Running has become one of the defining chapters of my life. I've qualified for the Boston Marathon with a PR of 2:47, completed 32, 36, and 50-mile ultramarathons, and run 70 to 80 miles most weeks. The discipline, the endurance, the ability to stay present through discomfort, it's shaped how I approach wedding days more than anything else. I show up focused, I stay the entire day, and I don't miss a moment.
At home, I'm husband to my best friend Liz and dad to Hudson (2) and Isla (4 months), which means I understand, maybe better than ever, just how fast these moments go. Your wedding day will be over before you know it. My job is to make sure you have it forever.
