As Deanna's husband and a natural optimist, Joseph brings warmth, compassion, and genuine care to every ceremony he leads on behalf of Kona Wedding Officiant®. His calming presence is something couples notice the moment they meet him — there's an ease about Joseph that makes even the most nervous bride or groom feel completely at peace on their wedding day.

​

Outside of officiating, Joseph is happiest when he's running, exercising, traveling, and spending time with family — and his faith grounds it all. That same energy and devotion is exactly what he pours into every couple's ceremony.

​

Raised Catholic and educated in Catholic schools, Joseph specializes in Christian wedding ceremonies. He is also honored to offer non-denominational and Hawaiian-style weddings, meeting each couple exactly where they are in their faith journey and love story. As a licensed Hawaii Wedding Officiant, he serves couples across the Big Island — from Kailua-Kona to Hilo and everywhere between.

​

One of the most meaningful touches Joseph brings to his ceremonies is writing custom prayers for each couple as part of his personalized ceremony options. Drawing from your love story, your faith, and the dreams you're carrying into marriage, Joseph crafts an original prayer that's spoken just once — over you, on your wedding day. It's a quiet, sacred moment couples and guests remember long after the vows are exchanged.
