www.JosephBarberphotography.com Through an eye-opening trip after graduating college in Finance, he set out to capture the autumn leaves in Portland, Oregon. Joseph found his unique voice photographing his way through Europe. He’s also traveled through t

he Middle East, India, and North America. Globetrotting, he always seemed to gravitate toward the naturalistic beauty in the sky, scale, and solitude of the ocean and desert. Searching for beauty in everything through his own lens, Joseph is on the same journey today, helping tell this romantic story through intense light, vivid colors, and minimalism.

Black-and-white moments feel timeless, don’t they? 🖤🤍 I spent golden hour with Bernardo and his family at Crystal Cove State Beach, and this session was pure magic. So much love, laughter, and connection. What’s your favorite memory captured in black and white?

Little Corona del Beach gave us all the magic for this couple's portrait session 🖤🤍. These two reminded me that love doesn’t fade—it only deepens. What’s the most timeless photo you have with someone you love?

21/09/2024

This is what it’s all about—feeling the wave

Ok back to taking photos after this. ;)

Golden hour meets ocean power. Angie.

Captured this moment at Corona Del Mar where the sky felt like a painting and the ocean was alive with color.
Sometimes, it’s the quiet moments while surfing that hit the hardest—where you just soak in all the beauty around you.

Who’s down for a surfer portrait like this?

19/09/2024

I love long exposures, especially with a subject 🌊
Stillness in motion. The waves come and go, but in this moment, everything feels calm and connected.

I’d love to capture portraits like this—who’s down?

18/09/2024

Angie, bold and vibrant, just like the ocean at sunset.
This shot is what surfing is all about—the connection, the stillness, and the energy that never stops flowing.

What's your favorite time, sunrise or sunset?

17/09/2024

My church, my therapy, my freedom.
Days chasing the swells, dancing with the ocean
This is where everything just clicks.

Where’s your place or thing that brings you joy and meaning?

16/09/2024

Caught this raw moment between Alessio and Bella as they spun together by the waves at Laguna Beach.

I slowed the shutter down to 1/15th of a second to capture the motion blur of the ocean and their love. I love how the movement and emotion blend into something so real and unscripted.

Sometimes, it's not about perfection—it’s about the feeling behind it. Couldn’t have asked for a better session, and can’t wait for the next, with even more light and color to play with.

What do you think? Do you like this effect on how they turned out?

🌊 Just Jeannise and the Ocean

The simplicity of this shot speaks louder than any staged scene ever could. It’s about capturing who you really are, in a place that feels like home. The waves, the breeze, the quiet—sometimes, that’s all you need.

Just Alicia, David, and a Killer Sunset,

caught in a raw moment of love at Laguna Beach. This sunset was pure magic, and these two? They made it even better. 🌟

This is more than just a sunset—it's one of my all-time favorite captures, a vertical panoramic of Huntington Beach Pier that took multiple images stitched together to get every ounce of that fiery glow, where the sky and ocean meet in a perfect endless symphony of colors.

What’s your go-to spot for watching the sunset? Drop a comment—I’m always looking for new places to chase the light! 🌇

Photos like these are what it’s all about. Golden Hour at Crystal Cove ☀️ Sometimes, everything just lines up perfectly—clear blue skies, warm golden light, and so much love. I spent golden hour with Bernardo and his beautiful family at Crystal Cove State Beach in Newport Beach. The laughter, the energy, the way they showed up for each other—it’s a reminder of how special these moments are. 💛 What a perfect day.

Victoria Beach Proposal 💍

Alessio reached out to me about six weeks ago with a plan that had my heart racing—he wanted to propose to his girlfriend, Bella, at the iconic Victoria Beach in Laguna. Proposals always get me a little extra nervous—more than weddings or engagements. There’s so much on the line: not being seen, capturing the moment without giving anything away, and making sure I’m in the right spot. But with nature involved (waves, wind, crowds), anything can happen! We mapped out everything carefully, but when the moment finally came, Alessio was so nervous (and fast!) that I barely had time to click. Bella said she had a feeling something was coming and was just as nervous, so I guess we were all nervous that day, lol! 😅 But when Alessio dropped to one knee, both of their smiles lit up the whole beach. 🥰 It was a slightly overcast day, but we still managed to get a sliver of sunset, and despite it being a holiday weekend at one of the most crowded beaches in SoCal, everything worked out perfectly. The surprise didn’t stop there—after the proposal, Alessio invited me to their house for a surprise party with their families and friends. It was an incredible opportunity to capture candid moments and special family photos—three generations coming together to celebrate. This is why I do what I do. I might just be the guy with a camera, but to be trusted to capture the most intimate and meaningful moments of someone’s life is a true honor. I’m blessed to create timeless art that their family will treasure for generations. Alessio and Bella, thank you for letting me be a part of your journey, and I can’t wait to create more with you in the future. 🙏🏼💫 More photos coming soon! 🔗 JosephBarberPhotography.com | Let’s capture something real. #VictoriaBeach #LagunaBeach #OCPhotographer #CaliforniaSunsets

How it all began

My first camera broke after having it for one day (age 12)...It wasn’t until after graduating college (with a degree in Finance, year 2008, that I never used…) that I picked up my next camera on a trip to Portland to photograph the Autumn leaves. Since then my camera and I have traveled through Europe, the Middle East, India, North America, and we tend to find ourselves at the ocean or in the desert capturing skies, scale, and solitude with intense light and colors. It’s an endless romantic journey searching for the beauty in everything. In my free time You’ll find me surfing and reading books on art and probably making a chocolate banana smoothie Chat soon!
