We are Josh and Keri, the husband and wife team behind Captured by Cairns Photography. Long before the cameras, we were best friends who grew into a love that felt steady, familiar, and meant to last. That’s why what we do matters so much to us. We’re not just capturing how your day looks, we’re preserving how it feels. The quiet moments, the real connection, the in-between glances you never want to forget. Because one day, these won’t just be photos…
they’ll be the way your story is remembered.

Your intimate, storytelling photographers

At Captured by Cairns Photography,  photography is deeply personal to us because our own love story is woven into every image we create. After more than 30 years of friendship, Josh and I know that love is not found only in grand moments, it lives in the quiet ones too. It’s in the way hands naturally find each other, the laughter shared between soulmates, the tears held back during a first look, and the feeling of home found in another person’s presence.

Our journey together has taught us how fleeting life can be and how precious it is to hold onto the moments that tell the story of who we are and who we love. What began as a simple love for photographs slowly became something much greater, a calling to preserve emotions that words could never fully describe.

When we photograph a wedding, a growing family, or two people deeply in love, we don’t just see poses or perfect lighting. We see legacy. We see memories being created in real time. We see the beginning of stories that will one day be looked back on with full hearts and tearful smiles.

Our approach is gentle, heartfelt, and intentional. We want you to feel comfortable enough to simply be yourselves while we capture the honest, beautiful connection that makes your story uniquely yours. The greatest honor for us is knowing the images we create may someday become the photographs your children and grandchildren hold close for generations to come.

For us, photography is not just about how a moment looked, it’s about preserving how it felt.


Our background story

WOW!!!!! Wow wow WOW!!!!! I am BLOWN AWAY by the pictures and the gallery that was given to us. Captured by Cairns is worth every penny and then some. I never feel beautiful in pictures, but the way they photographed me has me looking at myself for the first time in awe I'm so grateful and thankful for them, and would recommend to TO EVERYONE!!! The photos were cozy and exactly what we wanted!!! Our fur baby is notoriously hard to get pictures of, but they got us so many of our senior boy who was our ring bearer! So thankful to have these of  him! Thank you again SO MUCH!!!!

Josh and Keri were amazing!! They captured my husband and I’s wedding and we LOVE the results!!! The photos turned out so incredible, we are so happy. Josh and Keri help with positioning, but also capture real moments to make for the best photos. Would definitely recommend them to shoot your wedding or anything else! They’re awesome. Makayla C.

Josh and Keri provided the most amazing photography experience for my engagement and wedding! They were fun and easy to work with, and their pictures are absolutely stunning! I will be using them for any of my future photography needs! Evie B.

They were beyond helpful with our wedding photos. They treated us with such kindness and care that it didn't feel like we had a professional relationship at all, it felt like they were friends celebrating with us. Despite the playful interaction and kindness they remained the utmost professionals and took amazing care in getting every angle in the best possible ways. I would and will recommend them to anyone that asks for suggestions, or if I know someone is planning an event with photography. Spencer K.

Amazingly beautiful work. They were early, worked hard to capture our event and had us the edited pictures within one week of our wedding. It was an amazing day for us and they made it better because we didn't have to worry about the photography. Highly recommend for your event! April D.
