Amazing Photographer

Joy is amazing, I renewed my wedding vows and she took amazing pictures. Joy is reliable and knows how to capture each moment. I loved my pictures when I got them back and the work she did showed how dedicated she is to her clients and making their wedding day special.

Joy was a pleasure to work with from the very first phone call. Communication was great, she had wonderful ideas and reasonable prices. We have a very large immediate family and the day of the wedding she was able to keep everyone organized and photographed with the right family group. She found a beautiful spot in my parents back yard (the reception site) that we had not even considered and it turned out better than we ever dreamed of! The wedding album she designed for us was perfect and I couldn't have done a better job myself. I don't have one thing that I would change or do differently. She made my wedding day less stressful just by being herself :-) I recommend her to everyone, not just for weddings but for portraits, family and pregnancy photos as well. You will not be disappointed if you choose Joy as your photographer!!!!!!!!!!!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
