About

It is no secret I am a helpless romantic. I live for the happily ever after. I adore hearing couples stories of how the met, fell in love and plan their special day that joins two lives together. No two stories are the same and no two weddings will be the same. For this reason, I really like to get to know my couples throughout the entire process. Typically I like to meet with my couples about 5-6 times throughout the wedding process. This helps me learn a little more about them and their style allowing me to make their wedding photos extra special.

Joy was a JOY to work with!!! We were given a gift card to use and after we had our first session we were hooked. The quality was amazing! She truly has an artistic eye and such a easy going personality. Thank you Joy for capturing some of my most beloved memories!!!

Joy was our engagement photographer, and wow! What an experience! Joy was professional throughout the planning process, She encouraged me to create a Pinterest board of photos that inspired me, so she could get a feel for our personalities, likes, and locations that interested us. On the day of the photo shoot, Joy and Meghan were absolutely lovely to work with. They gave great suggestions and made the whole evening fun for both of us. Joy had a lot of ideas and even let us take on a few of our own.

When it was time to view the photos, Joy invited us to her studio, where she created a video of highlights from our shoot and allowed us to browse through the photos to choose which ones we wanted to purchase. She offers a variety of packages and high-quality print options that we thought were wonderful.

I absolutely recommend Joy for all your photography needs!
