Joseph met Indian wedding planner Devika Narayan in Bali in 2013 when they were working on a wedding project. They met again while working on a wedding project in Jaipur and became friends. Soon, they fall in love with each other. In an interview, Joseph’s wife shared her memories of dating Joseph. He said,
It’s been a long journey and a lot of traveling and coordination has taken place. I lived in New Delhi and Joseph lived in Mumbai. We had to find many excuses to meet, whether it was in a new country or in our hometown. By the end of 2016 we decided to get married.

The couple got engaged in December 2016 and married on 17 February 2017 in a private ceremony held at Devika’s farmhouse. While talking about marriage during an interview, Joseph said,
One of the biggest contributing factors was our choice of wedding photographers. We wanted Canada-based Erica and Lainey Mann, who are also friends of ours, to capture the special moments. Since it would be bitterly cold in their home country at that time, it would also mean that their work commitments would be relatively short.
