Joshua Dwain

Joshua Dwain is a Brooklyn-born wedding, portrait, and editorial photographer known for intentional lighting, clean composition, and direction that feels natural rather than posed. For more than 15 years he has photographed couples, celebrities, and families with the same goal: to make people look like the best version of themselves while keeping the moment honest. He is a husband, a dad, and a proud Brooklynite who still believes the best photo is the one that tells the truth with style.

Susan Stripling

My profession as an NYC and destination editorial photographer is one of observation, of noticing the silences that hum louder than words, and the glances that speak volumes. It is in these details, nuanced and ephemeral, that I find profound joy, a gentle touch of timelessness that allows me to serve you and your weddings with utmost care. Rooted in the world of theatre and deeply colored by my passion for tales, I've always been drawn to stories waiting to be unearthed and told.
It’s a quiet kind of magic, being able to pluck a fleeting moment from the grasp of obscurity and place it on paper, holding it for all time. It's a joy that I bring to every image I will document for you and your family.
