Check Out Joshua Noble’s Story

Today we’d like to introduce you to Joshua Noble.

Hi Joshua, so excited to have you on the platform. So before we get into questions about your work-life, maybe you can bring our readers up to speed on your story and how you got to where you are today?
I got into photography and video the same way a lot of people do. I picked up a camera out of curiosity, started shooting for friends, and realized pretty quickly that I loved the mix of creativity and people. Over time it grew from a hobby into something I took seriously. I invested in better gear, learned everything I could, and slowly built a client base through word of mouth.

Weddings ended up becoming the heart of what I do. I like the pace, the emotions, the challenge of telling a full story in one day, and the responsibility that comes with capturing moments people will look back on for the rest of their lives. From there, the business expanded into engagements, portraits, small brand content, and other commercial projects.

Today I run Noble Photo & Video full time, and my focus is simple. I want to create clean, consistent, natural imagery, treat people well, and deliver a reliable experience from start to finish. The growth has been steady and mostly organic, and I’m really grateful for where it’s taken me so far.

Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
It definitely hasn’t always been a smooth road, but I think that’s pretty normal for anyone building a creative business. In the beginning I struggled with the same things most photographers deal with: inconsistent bookings, learning how to price my work, managing the business side, and figuring out how to deliver a great client experience while still improving my craft.

There were also seasons where I felt stretched thin, especially when I was shooting, editing, marketing, and handling all communication on my own. On top of that, weddings come with a lot of pressure. You have to learn how to stay calm, problem-solve quickly, and deliver no matter what the day throws at you.

But those challenges ended up shaping how I work now. They taught me how to be more organized, more intentional, and more confident in the way I communicate with clients. They also pushed me to build systems, refine my style, and create a process that’s consistent and reliable.

So no, it hasn’t always been smooth, but each challenge actually made the business stronger and helped me become a better photographer and filmmaker.

As you know, we’re big fans of you and your work. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about what you do?
I run Noble Photo & Video, and I specialize in wedding photography and videography. I also work with couples on engagement sessions and help small brands, wellness businesses, and local companies create clean, natural content. My style is consistent, bright, and true-to-life, and I put a lot of focus on keeping the experience calm, organized, and enjoyable for the people in front of the camera.

What I’m most proud of is the trust people give me. Weddings are fast, emotional, and sometimes unpredictable, yet couples allow me to step into their day and document it in a way that feels authentic to them. That’s something I never take for granted.

A big part of what sets me apart is the balance between creativity and structure. I love the storytelling side of the work, but I’m also very intentional about communication, planning, and making sure people feel comfortable. A lot of clients tell me how easy the process felt or how supported they were throughout the day, and that’s just as important to me as the final images.

I’ll also be honest: imposter syndrome is real in this industry. There are so many talented photographers and filmmakers that it’s easy to compare yourself. But over time I’ve learned that staying consistent, showing up for people, and refining my own voice matters more than trying to match someone else’s highlight reel. That shift has helped me grow and stay grounded in why I do this in the first place.

Any advice for finding a mentor or networking in general?
Finding a mentor or building real connections in this industry can feel intimidating, especially when you’re new. My biggest advice is that if you feel scared, don’t know what to say, or you’re worried you don’t belong in the room, that’s usually the exact moment you should jump in. Most of the opportunities in my career came from reaching out when I felt unsure, not when I felt ready.

What’s worked best for me is keeping things simple. I reach out to people I genuinely admire, even if it’s just to say I appreciate their work or to ask one thoughtful question. I’ve learned that most creatives are open to connecting as long as the approach is honest and respectful.

Showing up consistently also matters. Attending local events, second shooting, assisting, joining workshops, or even meeting someone for a quick coffee can lead to long-term relationships. The key is to take small steps instead of waiting for the perfect moment.

In short, you don’t need the perfect pitch or a polished introduction. You just need to be willing to lean into the nerves and start the conversation. That’s where the growth happens.
