Hello world wide web, thanks for visiting =) Here you'll find all sorts of fun posts - about my photography, my traveling, and random thoughts.
If you're here to look for a recent wedding or event I photographed, you can look through the archives or use the search bar.
Take a look around and don't hesitate to contact me! I will always love getting coffee, whether its with good friends or someone I've never met - so definitely send me a line.
So my best bud and roommate Montana Dennis helped me shoot my last wedding in Yosemite. Well, his girlfriend Nicole caught the garter. And instead of cringing like most men, needless to say he was a little excited.
And then it was his turn to try to catch the garter. ALMOST got it, but the winner had a little help… he would have had it otherwise. Oh well, you just need one, right?!

Greetings from Greece!

Santa Barbara is a great place to hold a special event like a wedding. I was just in a wedding in SB and it was so lovely. At the Canary Hotel, right on the roof. Couldn't have asked for a better day to have a rooftop wedding too! I ended up staying at a much cheaper but great hotel; the Sandman Inn (www.thesandmaninn.com). Loved it!
December 10, 2011 - 7:34 pmVin - i've been to seattle, just once though. :( i absolutely love it! i think i might just move there LOL! this is a great shot! loves it!
September 16, 2011 - 6:27 pmJR - This is a great photo! I've wanted to go to Seattle so many times, but never made the opportunity. Did you take a ferry across to one of the islands?
September 5, 2011 - 6:18 pmJohn - I have not been to USA, but some parts of it look beautiful. Especially this one that is captured by your very wide angle lens.
Is it a lens close to 180 deg (ie. close to fish-eye)?
September 3, 2011 - 10:43 amSharmila - Oh, that's such a beautiful picture!!!
The so-blue sky and the clouds look so heavenly!!
August 27, 2011 - 10:57 amTim Newton - Love this shot!!! :-)
Had an absolute blast with these two this weekend – they are a REALLY cool couple and definitely one of the more unique weddings I’ve photographed! They invested a lot of time into thinking about their wedding photography and it definitely paid off! We got to shoot in Chino Hills State Park and it was amazing – here’s two images just as a sneak peak! Enjoy =)

June 13, 2011 - 11:34 amMegan Heath - JOSH!!!!!!!!!!!
You are incredible!!!! Best decision we made for the wedding was you!! These are phenomenal and we can't wait to see the rest. :)

Hey everyone! I have a pretty sweet announcement and can’t BELIEVE its for real! A couple of weeks ago my friend Colbie Caillat texted me and asked me if I would be able to throw together an album cover shoot for her!! My heart literally skipped a couple beats and I couldn’t contain my excitement for DAYS! I asked the most incredible photographers and videographer to shoot with me and I had an AMAZING team! We shot from 6am until about 7pm and had such a fun day together. The album cover wasn’t promised, but I just found out it officially got chosen and I’m SOOO excited about it!
A HUGE thank you to Colbie. I have always been one of her biggest fans and she is truly one of the sweetest people I know. A musicians life is amazing in so many ways, but most people don’t understand the hard aspects of being a famous musician. Very long days for months on end, the pressure of staying fresh and new, endless hours in the studio, and the craziness of going on tour. However, somehow… Colbie ALWAYS has time for her fans and is incredibly sweet to them. I’ve known a good amount of musicians that just blow off their fans and get “so over” saying thank you – and for the 4 years or so that I’ve known Colbie, she’s never been rude or mean to a fan.
She has integrity, character, love, passion, and is so talented with her music and writing. She loves her boyfriend with all her heart. She’s funny, smart, and loyal. It’s an honor to be her friend and I am truly grateful for her friendship – thanks Colbie for always believing in me and trusting me with some important events in your life. And with all that, I present to you the official album cover for her third album, “All of you”
A HUGE shout out to Christianne – she helped me out sooo much that day and was a true friend throughout the whole experience. She helped with so many of the logistical aspects of the day and was so much fun to have around! Thanks Christianne, wouldn’t have been able to do it without you =)
August 24, 2011 - 9:59 pmDenise Nicole - Josh you are unreal!!! And you totally deserve this!!! God has blessed you my friend with an amazing gift! What a gorgeous image for her album cover and I LOVE THIS GIRLS MUSIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ROCK ON!!!!!
March 1, 2011 - 11:23 amFeuza - AWESOME JOSH! love it, CONGRATS
March 1, 2011 - 2:04 amTammynize - I love Colbie. This image is beautiful! Congrats.
February 28, 2011 - 7:15 pmSara Kauss - So. Unbelievably. Awesome!!!!!!
February 28, 2011 - 4:55 pmPhillip Marshall - Fantastic! I am so very happy for you. Great story telling us about your friend, Colbie. Oh, did I say that I was happy for you? too cool!
February 28, 2011 - 3:50 pmWendy C. - Josh you are awesome! Congratulations! I am so honored to have met you at WPPI last week. You did an amazing job stepping in and speaking to the class when Heather was stuck in bad weather. I truly hope we get to meet again one day! And congratulations again on the album cover! It could not have happened to anyone more deserving. Her album cover rocks!
February 28, 2011 - 3:49 pmTrevor Dayley - Huge felicidades Josh! So super stoked for you!
February 28, 2011 - 3:36 pmHeather Alkhateeb - Congrats Josh and Christianne! Beautiful image for a beautiful artist. Bubbly was the first song I learned to play when I got my acoustic guitar and one of my favorites to play still today.
February 28, 2011 - 3:27 pmEmma - Stunning. This is exactly what i would picture for her, it works for her personality and her style. GReat job
February 28, 2011 - 2:58 pmSonja - So Incredibly Awesome!!! You are a beautiful person Josh and for you to say such amazing things about Colbie...she must be a beautiful person too:) Congrats young man!!
February 28, 2011 - 2:46 pmKatie Lewis - You rock Josh!!! So proud of you!
I seriously have the best clients in the world, and I don’t say that lightly… I’ve enjoyed shooting for every single one of my clients, whether it be Colbie Caillat, Andy Grammer, Hyatt Santa Barbara, or one of my many awesome weddings. My clients come up with some of the best ideas and I’m so stoked to be doing what I do! About a year and a half ago, two of my clients (Amanda and Jason‘s wedding) that I photographed in Orange County made this awesome standing picture frame board-
So then two of my clients in 2010 (Brittney and Thomas‘ wedding) that I photographed in Santa Barbara saw that photo on my website and decided to make their own! How cool is that?? And check out her recreation, I thought it was pretty awesome =)
Can’t wait to see what my clients come up with for this year!! SO sweet
And just for fun, here’s an album cover that I got to shoot for Andy Grammer!! I love photographing for musicians and I just photographed an album cover shoot for Colbie Caillat – can’t wait to show you guys those pics when her album comes out in May
And if you’re interested, check out his video here =) It’s pretty sweet! You can see some of the photos I took in the video, look for what he puts up on the wall!
October 10, 2011 - 9:25 amFeature: Josh Newton » Cassie Jones Photography - [...] friends. Best friends. Especially if you’re listening to the likes of Colbie Caillat and Andy Grammer — two musicians he’s photographed album covers for. Josh not only photographs [...]
I absolutely love the outdoors and everything it has to offer – there is nothing like being out in the middle of nowhere just enjoying nature and the quiet peace it brings. And there isn’t another place like in the WORLD to better enjoy nature than Alaska – I love getting to go up there so often =) And Alaska in the fall?? A serious epicwin.
What makes Alaska even better is I have the BEST clients in the world… who are up for anything! Seriously, the coolest. April and Zac are good friends from high school and literally rocked it out. Enjoy the pics, thanks you too! Can’t wait for December =)
I’ve gotten the chance to go to Portland about five times this year and it gets better with every trip! I’m road tripping up there in a couple weeks – we’re going to stop in Yosemite National Park and San Francisco along the way… I cannot WAIT. The last time I was up there I got the chance to photograph a really good friend of mine’s wedding – Ethan Barske. I know him from high school and it was great catching up and seeing him so happy! This guy can sing and play the piano like you wouldn’t believe… so talented. Anyway, congrats you two, I wish you the best!!
So a couple of weeks ago I had the absolute honor of being the best man in my brothers wedding!! It was SOO much fun to see all of my friends and family… what an emotionally charged couple of days! It was held at the Cheyenne Mountain Resort in Colorado Springs, Colorado. My two friends, business associates, and ABSOLUTELY RIPPING wedding photographers Dylan Mayer and Montana Dennis were the real photographers for the wedding but I got the chance to snap some shots in between different best man duties =)
I shot this at an amazing place in Colorado Springs – the Garden of the Gods! Such an epic location, I especially liked that they are mimicking the ‘kissing camels’ in the background =)
I absolutely love my brother Tim and his wife Ali… they are my best friends in the whole world and I am so blessed by who they are and what their relationship is. They are beautiful inside and out and I couldn’t be more excited to have them in my life forever Love you both tons and tons, can’t wait to see you and hang out this year!

August 4, 2010 - 6:30 pmTim Newton - Oh!!! Wow!!! :-)
I absolutely can’t WAIT for my friend’s album to come out August 17th… he is SO talented and I’m really excited for him. Its a completely new style for him and I’ve had it on repeat since he gave it to me. He has a brand new website as well, and he used a TON of my photos!! I’m extremely honored that he had me as the photographer Rock on bud!
