Captured Event Photography LLC

We can't thank Josie enough for the wonderful job that she did photographing our wedding. She has an amazing smile while she works and such a pleasant personality. She's courteous, prompt and professional, and most of all - she delivered such beautiful pictures at the end. She is so creative and has such a good eye for capturing the moment and portraying people at their best. We also appreciate that she took the time to edit some of the pictures to achieve the desired results. She delivered more then she promised. She made the whole experience so pleasant and enjoyable from the beginning, to the end.

If anyone tries to tell you that the cost of the photography package is in proportion to the quality of photographer/photography - they are so wrong. Josie, the business owner of Captured Events, loves her job and it's more about her clients and getting to take photos, than any price tag. Always generous and courteous, I found no fault in all of my interactions with the company or Josie. Contract was fulfilled in an extremely timely manner and she made the photo-taking part of my wedding day very stress free.

Artistic, classy, FUN, and professional are all words we can use to describe our wedding photographs. If you're looking for someone who can capture your wedding day at it's best, look no further:) We had Josie as our photographer and truly could not believe we found the photographer we had hoped for after search after search. We wanted someone who was easy going, artistic, affordable and NOT your average photographer, which there are TOO many of. We had no "posed" shots; all the pictures showed how incredibly special our day was. What we liked most about working with Josie was how natural everything was. Looking at our pictures, you would think we knew Josie for years. She has an amazing way of making your beautiful day, even more beautiful. We just received our album and everyone who has seen it has been in awe with her work. We can not say enough about how great our day was and how special Josie made it for us. Knowing you had your most memorable images captured in the way you wanted them to be captured without doing it yourself, says something about your photographer. She is truly a rare find and if you're lucky enough to find her, SNATCH HER UP!

Josie was absolutly wonderful. The pictures she took of our wedding captured every single emotion from all of our guests, and ourselves and the came out beautifully. She was not intrusive and had great ideas of capturing beautiful settings for our portraits. It was a pleasure working with her, and will love my pictures for years to come.Angela & Richard MeyersSeptember 19, 2009

Josie Donatelli was great! Her flexibility and professionalism, combined with her willingness to work within our limited budget, helped to make my son's wedding a beautiful and memorable event that we will cherish for many years to come. The quality of her photographs, and suggestions were outstanding. I also could not believe the number of photos that she took throughout the evening ( over 800!!!!) I would highly recommend Captured Events to ALL Brides to Be! I am sure that you will be as pleased as we were. Thanks again Josie!!! You are the BEST!

Josie is a truly brilliant photographer!Josie probably wouldn't want me commenting on her age, but I believe photography is one of those things that only get better with age.Josie is an "old-school" photographer that relies on her instincts rather than high-tech gadgets.To excel in Event Photography, the photographer needs to "see the future". Especially for Weddings where everything is fast paced and "moments" constantly come and go, the photographer needs to see the moment before it actually happens. If a "moment" is occurring and the photographer is not ready, by the time the camera is lifted to the face, the moment is gone. Josie is one of those gifted people who just "knows" when something special is going to happen. She already has the camera focused and ready to shoot half a second before that amazing smile, laughter, and precious moment. Sure, having a state-of-the-art camera with blazing fast auto-focus is cool, but it is no substitute for a pre-focused shot done by a good eye.Josie is also amazingly flexible and will go that "extra mile" to make you happy. Talk to her and explain to her what you exactly want/need and she will make it happen.I was so inspired by Josie that after seeing my Wedding Photos, I went and bought myself a Nikon DSLR and now photography is my favorite hobby!Highly Recommended!

Josie Donatelli is an extremely talented artist. She certainly found her calling in photography! She helped make our wedding a dream come true and I get to relive the day through her photos. She captured every moment without being intrusive. She captured every personality and every emotion of the wedding party and guests. We had a limited budget and she was the perfect fit, but you've never know see that in the quality of her photos. We are truly blessed to have had her as a part of our wedding.

Josie,
Walter and I just wanted to send you a quick note to say thank you. You were fabulous. You kept us moving, were so professional and polite, and made us all feel so comfortable. We can't thank you enough for all of your hard work. We are so happy that you were a part of our very special day.

Josie - thank you so much for the fabulous pictures of our wedding day! Being able to capture such a special day for us in such an elegant and creative way is everything we hoped for and you delivered. Thank you for all the pre-planning and your attention to detail through out the entire process.

Although it may seem odd for me to "endorse" another photographer, I am happy to do so for Josie as I find in her many of the same qualities and attributes I feel are paramount to running a successful photography business that services their clients in a way that they are completely satisfied and thrilled.

I have had the honor to personally know and work with Josie from Captured Event on many occasions. She is humble, kind, and soft spoken. She will go out of her way to ensure that the event coverage is complete and all of the finished images are just so. She has a sensitive, creative eye that has been nurtured by her love of relationships. It’s a rarity to find a photographer whose commitment is only exceeded by her compassion to make excellent heartfelt photographic memories of any special occasion.

I would absolutely entrust Josie with my own daughter’s wedding!

Such beautiful pictures. Every moment is "Captured"
