About

On Hitched.co.uk since 2026

Last update: August 2026

Hi, I’m Joshua, the photographer behind J Kallenberg Photography.

Based in both Richmond and Dorset, I specialise in creating relaxed, natural images with thoughtful composition and a refined, timeless feel.

My approach is calm and unobtrusive, focusing on genuine moments and the loving interactions that happen between the big poses. I’m particularly drawn to soft light, authentic connection and capturing the atmosphere of the day as it naturally unfolds.

Alongside weddings, I’ve spent years photographing couples, families and portraits, giving me a natural understanding of how to help people feel comfortable in front of the camera.. even those who usually don’t enjoy having their photograph taken!

I also offer a pre-wedding consultation, giving us a chance to get to know each other, talk through your plans and make sure everything feels relaxed and seamless long before the day itself.

Engagement shoots are available too - a chance to spend some time together in front of the camera, create some beautiful images and get comfortable with my approach before the wedding day (without the entire family watching on!).

I’m currently offering reduced rates for selected 2026 weddings through Hitched.

I’d love to hear more about your plans and what you’re looking for from your wedding photography.

Highly recommended!!

We couldn’t recommend Josh enough! He did such an incredible job capturing our wedding and all the special moments throughout the day. He was so relaxed and easy to work with, which made everything feel completely natural, and he somehow managed to get us into the most amazing spots for photos without it ever feeling staged or stressful.

We absolutely love our photos and feel like he captured the day perfectly. Thank you so much, Josh, we’re so glad we chose you!

Fabulous Photos!

Josh was the photographer at my son’s wedding and managed to capture the love and the joy of the day perfectly! He took some super special shots of the bride and groom which I will treasure and even some with me in which were pretty good too! And that is a challenge believe me!! What particularly impressed me was that he both managed to imbue the formal group shots with a freshness and an energy whilst also capturing those more random unique moments which often reflect the day best. I would thoroughly recommend Josh if you are looking for a wedding photographer as you will definitely find yourself with a fabulous selection of photos to remember your special day. He is both flexible and approachable, instinctively putting people at their ease to get happy and relaxed shots and we couldn’t be more delighted with the photos he took.

Incredible pictures!

Josh did our engagement shoot and absolutely exceeded our expectations - we turned up late and stressed due to transport issues and he immediately set us at ease, and constructed some truly artistic, painterly stunning shots using both the UNESCO world heritage buildings of Greenwich university, and the wild setting of the park nearby. We cannot wait to have him take photographs on our wedding day!

Couple's shoot

A big thank you to Joshua for such a wonderful experience. He photographed us during a couples shoot in a quiet corner of a London park and immediately put us at ease with his calm and professional approach. Despite neither of us usually feeling particularly comfortable in front of the camera, the whole shoot felt natural and relaxed throughout. The final photographs are beautifully captured and feel incredibly genuine, thoughtful and special. Images we’ll truly treasure for years to come.

Thank you so much! Amazing!

Joshua photographed my daughter’s bat mitzvah and captured the day beautifully from start to finish. From relaxed family portraits to the energy of the party and dance floor, the photos feel incredibly natural and full of emotion. We’ll treasure them 4 ever! I’m still not sure how he managed to keep everyone (especially the children) so calm and comfortable in front of the camera but he has a real talent for helping people relax and enjoy the moment.
