Joel Thomas Photography

Hi!!! My name is Joel and I’m a wedding and portrait photographer in Central Pennsylvania. Although I’m based out of Harrisburg, I love to travel to Pittsburgh, Philly, Baltimore, DC, New York and beyond! I’m married to my amazing wife Kristin who typically works along side me at weddings and is almost as goofy as I am (almost). We have a border collie named Oreo who has more energy than the two of us combined! I’m a Netflix junkie (which is perfect to watch while I spend countless hours editing photos) and I quote movies and TV shows all the time. Try to stump me with a movie quote, it can’t be done ;)

I’ve always had a love for people and making them laugh. I’m all about bringing out someone's genuine expression in my photographs. Yes, I will set you up and help pose you for all of the shots, but my main focus is for you to feel comfortable and natural so I can bring out that real smile, laugh, or even a silly face. (Unfortunately that means sometimes I have to resort to terrible dad jokes). Having your engagement and wedding photos captured should be fun (not awkward or stressful). I always say that if you don't enjoy taking the photo, you won't enjoy looking at the photo. I'm here to make you look your best and have a blast doing it!
