    Fun photographer who gave us the most beautiful photos

    We cannot say “wow” enough! We wanted a photographer that matched our energy and would capture all of the real moments of our day - we aren’t big on tons of posed photos. As soon as we met with Josh and saw his work, we knew he was our guy! He was very prepared for our meetings and walked us through everything so clearly and patiently. On wedding day, he was upbeat and fun and kept everyone loose and laughing. It was 103 degrees but he was a champ and truly made the most of every shot. He read the moments well (ie. knowing when we were done taking pictures and just wanted to join our guests for cocktail hour) and rolled with the punches. The sneak peek photos we got the next day were breathtaking - I couldn’t help but show them to everyone still in town for wedding weekend festivities! Flipping through our full wedding album was a dream. I cared a lot about the photographer because the photos are the part that lives on forever and we could not be more happy with how Josh captured our day. Our photos were beautiful, authentic, fun, and heartwarming. Thank you, thank you, thank you Josh!

    Amazing experience

    Josh shot our winter wedding in -20 degree weather. He was happy and energetic the whole time and very creative with his photos. Plus the photos were beautiful! Would highly recommend!

    Professional photos from a professional team!

    When we met Josh and Carly at our consultation meeting, we instantly connected with them both and knew they were the right choice for us. Josh and Carly were extremely easy to communicate with via email and phone, especially when planning a wedding for July 2021 when wedding restrictions were constantly changing due to COVID and not really knowing how large our guest list would be! Our wedding day was quite busy, but Carly and our second shooter Heather, were able to shoot for a tea ceremony, first look, wedding party photos, ceremony photos, family photos for all guests, reception photos and a sunset sneak away. The day was jam packed, but Carly & Heather were able to capture every professional, and candid moment with ease. They connected with each of our wedding party and guests and we have received such positive feedback from all attendees. Carly and Heather were not only our photographers, but also assisted by ensuring we were well hydrated, entertained the kids during the family photos session, and ran to get our flowers for our photos. They were willing to step in and help with anything to keep the day running smooth. Our photo album has over 1200+ edited photos, and the quality and moments captured reassure us that we made the right choice in Barnett Photography!

    Cynthia,
    You are guys are awesome! Thank you for your kind words! Carly and her shooter had a great time with everybody! You and Devon looked amazing and I enjoyed processing all the pictures. It was easy to see that everybody had a great time! - Josh

    Josh & Carly were the ultimate photographers to capture our wedding day and who we are! I met these two in 2016 when they took our family photos, and again in 2020 for our engagement session and wedding day. Josh and Carly are efficient and accommodating. They constantly make you laugh and feel completely comfortable, especially for those who do not like being in front of a camera! I will always recommend this duo for their eye in photography, their professionalism, and for their wonderful personalities.

    Absolutely amazing

    We had Carly and Josh shoot our wedding and we were so happy to have them. They were flexible with everything in our day and really went above and beyond to ensure they fit the vibe and feel of the day for us. They were also assertive enough to ensure they got some amazing shots for us. I was originally not looking forward to posing for pictures but with them everything felt so natural it was such an enjoyable part of the day. They were also so helpful in recommending flow for the day and other vendors. I would highly recommend them!

    Josh and Carly are awesome! They make you feel so comfortable and at ease when shooting with them. Their passionate work will not disappoint! They did our engagement session and wedding day photos - we received over 800 edited photos that are all amazing. We loved working with Barnett photography and would recommend them to anyone.

    Barnett Photography's reply:

    Thank you Samantha! You and Travis were awesome! We had a great time with you both and your families! We pray you guys have a great marriage and that these pictures remind you of your awesome wedding day each time you view them!

    Extremely unprofessional, slow responses..Deposit was pending their response to our final questions ..they booked another couple without any consideration to us after we had cancelled other prospective photographers.. Thank you. UNACCEPTABLE! I guess its a "pay first" ask questions later?

    Barnett Photography's reply:

    Dear Denise,

    We are very sorry that you are disappointed with us. Unfortunately it is very common for photographers in the Okanagan to have several open inquiries for the same date as over 3,000 weddings happen in Kelowna each summer, and there are only a limited number of photographers. Being that the Okanagan is a renown location for Canadian Destination Weddings, it is often difficult to book venues, photographers, designers, florists, and wedding planners. We've had 3 inquiries about May 26, 2018 in the last month alone.

    We first heard from you June 1st, and while your response did seem like you were interested, it is now a month and a half later and we had no formal commitment in writing from you or your daughter for the date. Unfortunately we can't consider a date booked until a contract has been signed, and a retainer has been paid. We are sorry if that was not made more clear to you and your daughter. There was a period of two weeks from June 20th to July 4th where we were waiting to hear back from you or your daughter, and in that time we had other serious inquiries become ready to book, which is part of the reason we checked back in with you on July 3rd to see if you guys were ready to book, or if you had moved on in your search.

    Again we are sorry for the delay in our response to your mother’s last email, we were out of the office most of the week last week on location for work, and during the summer (as our auto-reply states) our response times are slower due to the sheer amount of our work load.

    We are sorry that both you and Hayley have taken great offense to our business dealings. We assure you that we meant nothing personal by it, and we are very sorry we have upset you both.

    We wish you all the best in your wedding planning, and we are sorry we were not able to be of more help.

    Sincerely,

    Carly + Josh Barnett

    We absolutely LOVE Josh and Carly. They are the perfect mix of professional and personable, and so easy to work with! We honestly feel like Josh and Carly became our friends throughout our Engagement photo session and our Wedding Day photography. We loved their thought-out and unique approach to staging our photos, the quality of their work is so quickly apparent. We are so happy we could trust the Barnetts with capturing our Special Day, and we couldn't be any happier with Barnett Photography! We will absolutely be hiring them again for our next "occasion" photography!!
    We love you guys, thank you so much!!!!!!

    -Greg & Chelsea.
