a little bit about me
I’m the face behind the camera at josh reinders photography.
When i was younger, i would spend hours leafing through old national geographic magazines. the stories were cool, but it was the photos that left me truly fascinated. i could go and meet someone from across the world or view the alien landscapes of patagonia, all from my basement. Those pictures captured and carried stories from across the world and brought them into focus in front of me.
It wasn’t until university that I picked up a camera for myself. i purchased a gopro and began to use it to document my own adventures pursuing my own story. it was here where a passion began to grow within to create photos that told a story. but i could never quite get the photo i wanted.
Fast forward a few years and a few cameras later, and a friend of mine called me up seeing if i would be willing to take photos for him at his wedding. i had a blast and the couple loved the photos. turns out, the thing that i was always looking for in my photos wasn’t my own story; it was someone else’s.
when I’m not OUT takING PHOTOS OR EDITING THEM, YOU CAN FIND ME SIPPING ON COFFEE WITH MY WIFE, PLAYING HOCKEY, OR STUDYING TO BECOME A PSYCHOTHERAPIST. I LIVE JUST OUTSIDE THE WATERLOO AREA AND OFTEN CAN BE SEEN CHOPPING WOOD FOR THE WINTER, BUILDING A RAISED GARDEN BED, OR JUST ENJOYING THE OUTDOORS. I ALSO LOVE A GOOD BOOK, AND I’M ALWAYS LOOKING FOR NEW RECOMMENDATIONS.
i love getting to tell stories. if you’re interested in having me tell your story at your wedding, send me a message. I’d love to hear about your story and how I can help you tell it!
