Photographer: Joe Connolly

Photographer Joe Connolly has captured the wedding memories of more than 1000 couples over the years. He has photographed weddings all over the United States, Canada and Europe. Originally from Michigan, Joe moved to Anchorage to pursue his passion for the outdoors and photography. If you don’t see him behind the camera, you might find him on his mountain bike, backcountry skiing, flying, or hiking along one of the area’s trails. Joe recently completed a 12,000+ mile bicycle journey around the perimeter of the United States and obtained his commercial pilot license in both airplanes and helicopters. He has an energy around him that is relaxing and fun, and you can see it in the way his couples are truly themselves in front of his camera. He learned his craft through some of the best wedding photographers in Michigan and combined the best of what he saw from them with creativity of his own to fashion a very unique style. You can be sure that each wedding he shoots is as unique as the couples themselves. Joe’s clients are consistently impressed with his work and the amount of word-of-mouth referrals that he gets is a testament to that.
