Aperture Photos

Hi! We are a husband and wife team

BASED IN COvington,La or wherever your love story takes us!

We photograph love with intention and emotion, telling stories that feel honest and nostalgic. Inspired by cinema, our work focuses on the quiet in-between moments, the movement, and the way it all felt. Each frame is crafted to live beyond the day itself, evoking imagery that feels timeless and deeply personal.

Our approach is a balance of gentle direction and honest moments. We guide when needed, offering simple prompts and movement to create space for connection, while allowing the in-between moments to unfold naturally. By blending intentional direction with freedom, we capture imagery that feels effortless, emotional, and true to you.

These are memories created to hold onto. Photographs that tell your love story with depth and feeling, shaped by cinematic storytelling and a deep sense of nostalgia.

We are Kirsten and Josh and here is a little more about us.

To be honest, writing about ourselves feels awkward, but telling stories about other people is kind of our thing so I suppose we will tell you ours ◡̈

A CURATED SELECTION OF love stories told through our art.

“We truly cannot say enough amazing things about Aperture Photos. From our engagement and mini shoots to our wedding in May, every single experience has been nothing short of incredible. Our wedding photos are absolutely gorgeous! If you’re looking for timeless photos you’ll cherish forever, you NEED to book Aperture. Looking through them instantly brings us back to the day, and we feel so lucky to have had photographers who captured not just how everything looked, but how it felt. The attention to detail and creativity are just unmatched. On top of it all, Kirsten and Josh are so fun and easy to be around, which made the entire process even better. We will forever be grateful for Aperture Photos and couldn’t recommend them more!!”

"We booked Kirsten and Josh after I was in a wedding party and they were the photographer. I loved their calm approach to capturing my best friend’s wedding day and the photos turned out amazing. My husband and I wanted photos where you could feel the emotion from our wedding day and they had done that perfectly for my friend. We immediately booked them and they were everything I could have dreamed of and more for my wedding photography. Not only did they deliver such high quality pictures exactly how I imagined, but they were so comfortable to be around. I cannot express enough the importance of having a photographer who understands your vision. They made every picture moment effortless and were so accommodating with all of my requests. I did not get married in Louisiana and they had no issue traveling to California for my wedding! They capture the real emotion from your special moment which I find very rare and challenging to achieve in photography and that’s why they are so special to us."
