Introduction

* 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!

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!"

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.

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.
