"Joe and Marco are AWESOME! Our engagement photos were outstanding, the bridal portraits turned out beautiful. Joe and Marco are fresh, edgy, they capture the personality of the couple and their photos are professional, unique and I could not have picked a better photographer for my wedding. I would recommend them as the absolute best!"


"Integrity and Professionalism."


"Joe is a young up and coming Houston artist, pure and simple. What he does with a camera is amazing...he captures moments that tell stories without words."


"His work is some of the most amazing art I've ever seen. He is a visionary who focuses on intimate details. He is wonderful to work with and is as good a man as an artist."


"Joe is more than a photographer, he is a friend. Our first meeting with him, I feel in love with his artist and creative way of capturing the emotions of the people he photographs, but more importantly it was his personality and his enthusiasm that sealed the deal for us. He did a beautiful job at my daughters wedding a couple of years ago, and the pictures told the complete story of that" perfect day." Joe is a mentor and a confidant, a Christian man above all else. He is good in so many ways that I have booked him for two more weddings! Truly, he is the BEST photographer and person in Houston!"


"Joe is not only professional but he is also a very well rounded photographer. He really takes the time to get to know his clients and makes them feel very comfortable, while still providing the highest level of service. Outside of his work, that speaks for itself, he is also a genuine old sole. Can't wait for him to shoot my wedding in Mexico in May...."


"He is extremely talented, has an artistic eye, and he has a strong and honest work ethic. The photos he has taken of us are excellent and stir our emotions and admiration. He stands out from the crowd - he is a photographer´s photographer."


"Gorgeous stuff. Very professional. I would recommend him to all my friends."


"His pictures captured the soul"


"Great service, beautiful pictures. everything i wanted captured about our wedding Joe got!"


"J. Cogliandro Photography is Amazing! They are very creative and patient to work with! You can't beat the quality of the work!"


"He is so professional and a true artist. Produces unbelievable pictures. Joe and his team are the best photographers in Houston, hands down."


"Joe did our wedding many years ago. It was the most beautiful night our our young lives and he captured it. Not just the images, but the emotions. It has truly been apleasure to watch his career develop. Good luck Joe and best wishes in everything you do."


"Wow is all I can say!!! Trustworthy and Caring. We will use them for all future Photographic Services."


"His photographic eye is unique, he is truly passionate about what he does and a perfectionist when it comes to delivering the final image. No two pictures are ever the same and no two clients are ever the same- he treats each client with as much time and personal attention as possible."


"Joe did my best friends wedding last March (08) and his work was AWESOME! He has now done MY engagement pictures and bridals and I can now say first hand he and his photos are truly works of art!!!"


"Joe's work is amazingly creative and artistic. We met Joe in Jamaica as he was shooting one of our friends' weddings, and we were so impressed with his professionalism, creativity, and personality that we invited him to accompany us to Mexico for our own wedding. My wife and I were very pleased... If I am ever so unlucky to get married again, I will certainly bring him along a second time..."


"He took my senior pictures and was able to get my personality to come out in the photographs. He made me feel very comfortable and made it so much easier for me to be myself and have an awesome session."



"Joe is the most wonderful photographer available! He is not only extremely professional, capable and creative, but he is so much fun to work with! He took the time to get to know me and my husband and truly captured our personalities and the feel of our entire wedding weekend. We didn't hire a videographer, and we didn't need to because Joe got it all! I would HIGHLY recommend Joe to any bride that wants to capture her wedding exactly how the day went... PERFECT! Thanks, Joe!!" xoxo Kim and Jonathan Brown


"Hands down the best photographer in Houston! There is no other photographer that can possibly compare. Joe Cogliandro and Marco Wang didn't just photograph me and my husband....they captured our personalities, they captured the essence of what my husband and I are all about. When I sent some of the pictures to my friends and family, I had so many people respond to me that the pictures literally evoked emotions in them, brought them to tears. We took our engagement pictures, all of our wedding photos, and our "mess the dress" pictures with Joe and Marco. I plan to have them take pictures of us as we grow our family and hopefully for the rest of our lives. I can't imagine any other individuals that I would entrust such a special task to. Not only are Joe and Marco so easy to get along with and so down to earth, but they will provide you with the most amazing photographs you have ever seen. I can't say enough about them. They also have photographed several Houston Texans weddings and lots of other high profile weddings in the houston area and throughout the world.

How exciting to see a Gift from God expressed through photography!"


"Beautiful work Joe, and well deserving of every title there is! Love to all your family, Bob and Sybel, all the way from San Antonio!"


"Joe is so very talented and has innate gift for photography-He's creative and can find an amazing shot in whatever situation he's in. Very easy to work with and all who has seen our photos from our engagement and wedding couldn't believe how great they are. Thank you for making our special day unforgettable!!"


"great, dynamic shots -- capturing warm embraces, smiles, "candid" shots the way you always wanted them. wonderful attitude -- warm and respectful, yet confident; very unobtrusive, attendants hardly knew he was there. full of integrity about the art of photography, and in his business practice."
