Joselito-- Photographer

Jose is 1/4 photographer, 1/2 husband and 1/8 bad at fractions. Hailing from Hawaii, Jose pursued his passion of photography to the shores of New York City where after much toil and trouble and dollar slice pizzas was finally able to call himself a professional photographer. Specializing in music photography, Jose has worked and has been published by several media outlets, photographing tours and hundreds of concerts and artists for the better part of seven years. Portraits and weddings fell into the mold not long after, further adding to his repertoire. He currently is on the way to relocating to Savoy, IL where he hopes to be able to share his passion in photography with others.

Joe--DJ

Joseph from Dove Productions has provided musical entertainment for over 800 events. He specializes in being able to read each crowd individually and mixes just the right types of music to ensure everyone will have a great time.  As your Master of Ceremony, he will conduct himself professionally making all important announcements while keeping the celebration festive. As you can imagine, redundancy is extremely important when you are a Wedding DJ.  Having back-up equipment with you is a must because you cannot repeat the event on a different day.  He brings a minimum of at least one duplicate of each of his pieces of equipment to ensure everything will go as smooth as possible on your exciting day.
DJ Joseph is your finest choice to ensure your dream wedding exceeds your expectations.

Joe--Photo & Video

Joe has two great passions in his life. The love for creating with a camera in his hands, and the love for his family. These two passions drive him every single day, and one could truly not exist without the other. It was the arrival of his first born that prompted him to purchase his first “real” camera. Being a new father, and just wanting to capture all the life, love, and family moments from the very beginning. It’s where his passion for photography and film-making was sparked. And since then, it has just continued to grow to a point where it has just become the fabric of who he is as a person, and everything he inspires to be. Yet none of what he has done, created, captured, or hope to do in this business, could ever be possible without the love and support of his wife and children. They are what drive him to pursue a dream and a career path outside the normal everyday 9 to 5. He would be absolutely honored to photograph your life or film your once in a life-time moments. He believes that there are not many things more important, then being able to have something that helps you look back at special moments in time and remember the joy and good times you shared with the people you love. He truly understands how precious those moments are, and he prides himself in treating them as if he were pointing my camera at his own family.
