Joe is an absolute pleasure to work with!!!
He not only goes above and beyond what is asked, but his creativity and eye for beauty is just astounding. He perfectly captured the best day of my life without missing a moment, and has given me absolutely breathtaking photographs that I will closely cherish forever. He truly is the best there is!

There aren't enough words to describe how incredible Joe was during the entire engagement and wedding process. From the moment we got in touch about during photography - he was so great to work with and his sessions are so natural. He captured our best moments and at no point made it awkward. Being from abroad and having a reception there as well as in America, he even made the trip oversees to be a part of our full journey. Incredible photographer and an even better person.

The vegan cake, and the late night snacks for your danced out guest; they’re all important, but negotiable. Joe Bulger's pictures are not negotiable. Not because they’re amazing and last a lifetime, nor because they’re neatly displayed in every square inch of free space of our house, and receive compliments on the daily. Joe Bulger's photography skills are a necessity to the wedding day because of the ease, joy, and laughter his presence will bring

Bulger Creative Co. did such a phenomenal job capturing our wedding. He was so easy and such a pleasure to work with. We felt like he truly captured the details, both big and small, the love, and our personalities better than we could have imagined. People see our wedding photos and compliment on the beauty of the photography! You will be so happy and thankful (and lucky!) to work with Joseph and have him photograph your wedding or special event. We absolutely love our photos and will cherish them for a lifetime! We cannot recommend Bulger Creative enough!

If you are looking for a photographer who captures your special moment in the most authentic way possible, then look no further! Joe was just incredible from start to end. He was extremely responsive, communicative, and very reasonably priced. He is an incredibly talented photographer and artist, and his mastery of the camera shines through in every one of his photographs. He captured our story so perfectly and elegantly, he is seriously gifted!! Our favorite aspect of Joe's style is his ability to capture the purest love between you and your partner, your loved ones, and friends; encapsulating your movements, thoughts, and feelings in a subtle and candid way. When we look back at the photos, we are instantly transported to the exact moment the photo was taken, which is just such a special keepsake and irreplaceable memory to have. In addition to capturing candid moments, Joe is equally talented with more formal poses and group photos. He knocked it out of the park and knew how to do so with no direction from us. We also had a blast having him at our event and taking photos with him. I just cannot say enough how thrilled we were to find him and how lucky we feel to have had him as our photographer. We highly recommend Joe and Bulger Creative Co. for your special event -- you will not be disappointed!
