I’m so happy to meet you!
My Pal & I
Hello guys! My name is Joshua (Yoshi) and I am a wedding + engagement + lifestyle photographer based here in beautiful Puerto Vallarta, Mexico! I am a young man dedicated to capturing milestone moments that you can cherish forever. Right over here is my 3-year-old border collie named Kashu. He is my best bud who loves helping me capture my best photos. We love going on adventures around this beautiful city and will never turn down a great beach swim. Kashu loves meeting new people so there is a chance you will meet him as we capture your special moments! I also love meeting new people, learning about their story, and capturing a piece of their storybook. When I’m not editing photos, I’m spending time with my beautiful grandmother, eating lots of Mexican food (thank goodness I moved here!), and embarking on countless adventures with my pal. Kashu and I are excited to meet you and help create everlasting memories!
My Story
I have been shooting photography since I bought my first camera in 2016 while living in Tokyo, Japan. I was on a performing contract with The Walt Disney Company at the time, and fell in love capturing the jaw-dropping beauty I was able to see while residing there. Coming back, I found a love for photographing portraits of friends and family, which grew from a hobby to a career. My life wasn’t always focused on photos, though. Growing up in California, I performed with show choirs starting at the age of 12 and ending in my senior year of high school. After high school, I moved to Long Beach, California where I studied dance performance at California State University, Long Beach. While earning my degree, I was lucky enough to be cast in numerous shows and parades at The Disneyland Resort. Who knew that my Disney career would ultimately lead me to living in France and Japan?! This is where I got bitten by the never-ending travel bug. I love traveling tremendously, having learned so much from the many cultures I was lucky enough to experience. Meeting new people is such a joy for me, and encountering many cultures fueled my desire to learn everything I can from others. It is pure joy for me to be able to meet you, learn about your wishes and provide the magical portraits you have been dreaming of.
