About Joel's Vivid Snaps, LLC
* Now offering photography and videography packages, please reach out on instagram @joelsvividsnaps for more details and availability! * My name is Joel Martinez, I'm a photographer and videographer based in Franklin, New Jersey. Born in The Bronx, I grew up in Monroe, NY. I spent my early years traversing through the streets of NYC. I now live in New Jersey. I visit the city often. I am also a proud dad and husband; my son and I share the same birthday! I studied Communication at the University at Buffalo - SUNY, where I discovered my love for photography. I am also a member of NYC Prime Shot. My goal is to show the beauty, grace, strength, and enthusiasm of people. I focus on non-models and place regular people in situations that highlight an aspect of who they are. I strive for a sense of integrity and fortitude in my work. As your photographer, you will discover an individual who is willing to go that extra mile, spending the time necessary to give you the service that you deserve. When I’m not taking pictures of people and events, I love to travel the world, play video games, watch movies and anime, play basketball, and take pictures of my dog Mikey!
Reviews
Joel was absolutely amazing to work with. We were very specific about what we wanted and the amount of time we wanted to spend on pictures at our wedding which bucked the normal trend of what most couples want. Joel worked with us, stuck within our timeline without pushing and got every picture we wanted, plus some. He was incredibly professional, pleasant and dealt with our changes and lack of tremendous communication during the process (we were a little overwhelmed!). I could not recomend him any more to anybody who is looking for an amazing photographer for any event. He even got us our pictures within days of our wedding. He was simply the best!
Joel was very professional and detailed. The photos turned out great! I’ll be hiring Joel again in the future.
Joel captured moments during my son's 5th birthday party that are priceless--those candid moments that only professionals have the eye and responsiveness to capture. He also made sure to capture photos of all of our guests, both staged and candid. The work quality was fantastic and the touched up photos are very professional. The cherry on top--he's a very nice person who was easy to work with and smile for. We will definitely hire Joel again for another occasion!
Joel did a great job, delivering lovely pictures that captured the experience of our party very well.
I could not be more grateful that we picked Joel to take our maternity pictures. After dealing with infertility and going through IVF, we knew we wanted to capture the joy of our first pregnancy and wanted it to be right. Joel was so well prepared, organized and was the kindest as he navigated us through taking our pictures. On top of that, I was blown away by the beautiful pictures he captured. It truly seemed effortless for him but these pictures were pure magic showing the love and joy we have as we get closer to meeting our daughter. I cannot recommend Joel enough for your photos and can’t wait to use him again in the future.
Joel did an absolutely incredible job photographing our wedding. Despite a bit of chaos and things not going exactly as planned, he remained calm, patient, and totally understanding throughout the day. He went above and beyond to keep everyone organized and made the photo process smooth and even fun. His creativity really stood out—he had fantastic ideas and captured moments we’ll treasure forever. He was punctual, professional, and delivered the final photos quickly. We’ve been admiring them nonstop! Honestly, I don’t think he could have done anything better. I highly, highly recommend Joel to anyone looking for a talented and reliable photographer.
Our experience with Joel was nothing short of perfect! He is the quintessential photographer, and it’s easy to say that he will be our photographer moving forward. Between his: professionalism, personality/interaction, punctuality and beautiful final product, we are extremely satisfied with our experience. We look forward to the next time we will need his services again!
Joel was amazing! Easy to communicate with prior to the wedding and was great to work with during our wedding as well! He did a wonderful job guiding my husband and I though the photos as we are not normally very good at that (lol). He delivered the photos within 5 days!! And they are beautifully done!
5 Stars – Highly Recommend! We had an incredible experience with our photographer Joel, in Newark, NJ! The photos turned out absolutely amazing — each one captured the moment perfectly and truly exceeded our expectations. On top of his talent behind the camera, he had such a great personality. He made us feel comfortable, kept the energy fun and relaxed, and was a total professional from start to finish. He was great at handling our large crew and got all the combinations I wanted! We couldn’t be happier with the results and would recommend him to anyone looking for high-quality photography with a personal touch!
Joel was awesome! We loved having him photograph our baby gender reveal and we loved all of our photos!
Absolutely blown away by the incredible work! Joel captured every special moment of my cousin Sweet 16 perfectly. The photos are stunning, and the attention to detail was beyond what we imagined. From the candid shots to the beautifully posed ones, every photo tells a story and we’ll treasure them forever. Joel was professional, fun, and made the whole experience so easy and enjoyable. Highly recommend to anyone looking for someone who truly understands how to make a milestone event unforgettable! Thank you so much!"
Joel is a fantastic photographer - we LOVE our wedding pictures!!! He’s also friendly and efficient- we had a bit of a time crunch for the photos, but he rolled with it, and his positive energy put us at ease. Highly recommend and very happy he was there to capture these moments for us :)
Joel did a pre-photo shoot for my daughter's Sweet 16 in a park. Those shots were beautiful and we used them for the party. He arrived early for the event and he did a great job. The photos and video came out wonderful. He took candid shots and posing. The video captured the night wonderfully.
Joel was very accommodating and professional throughout the whole planning process. He took some amazing photos and had a quick turnaround time. I highly recommend him for anyone looking for a photographer.
He was great and professional
We love Joel's work! He photographed our wedding, and the results are excellent. He was responsive, collaborative, and easy to work with. His team was lean and hard-working. His photos turned out great, and our guests appreciated his laid-back, unobtrusive work style. And the final photographs were turned around very quickly! We will 100% recommend Joel for your events.
We hired Joel for our wedding photos and he did an amazing job! From our first meeting with Joel, we knew he was THE photographer we wanted. He was very enthusiastic and responded to our requests with excitement. During the big day, he was punctual, great at finding new locations for photos, and he communicated his vision for photos in a super effective manner. We requested a group photo following the ceremony and Joel did a fantastic job positioning people, finding small details that would improve the photos (e.g, pointing out bulky cell phones in pockets), and he captured incredible pictures and video of the group with his drone. Joel certainly captures vivid snaps that recall vivid memories of what felt like a whirlwind of a day! We cannot recommend Joel enough!
The pictures Joel took of me came out amazing! I can personally say that I'll be utilizing a lot of these photos to enhance my social media and dating profiles. Joel was very personable, kind, and helpful throughout the entire process. Also, his pricing was very reasonable.
Joel was great to work with! It was very easy to find a date that worked for both of us and he came to my house which helped save time especially on a work day. Very easy to talk to and most importantly my head shots came out great! I even had time for an outfit change. Would definitely recommend!
