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.

Talented, organized, patient, and kind.

Where do I even begin! Joy is absolutely amazing! She is not only incredibly talented, but she is also the sweetest person! Joy captured our day with stunning photos that we will cherish forever. She is organized, patient, direct, creative — all the qualities you need in your wedding photographer! Joy’s talent is noticed by more than just us as the bride and groom — hearing from our friends and families post-wedding, the number one comment is how amazing our photographer was. I honestly have a million nice things to say about Joy, but it’s all summed up by saying YOU NEED JOY AS YOUR PHOTOGRAPHER! Wedding planning is stressful and dealing with vendors can be frustrating. Joy was one of our vendors we could trust completely and she DELIVERED. Highly, highly recommend!

Look no further - you found the best!

I almost missed out on Joy because I thought I was interested in another service (THANK GOODNESS THAT DID NOT WORK OUT). Joy did not skip a beat and truly captured the best of every moment. I enjoyed our personalized service - she is genuine about her passion for photography and about her clients. Artistically she has an eye for light, setup, structure, poses, and frankly getting the best out of a natural and real moment. Some other elements that make her a rockstar: gracious with additional pose requests, expert at keeping flow going between multiple shots, very involved in understanding agenda day of, and full of laughter. We had so much fun with her between our engagement photos and wedding day - I will be recommending her to anyone looking for a photog going forward, and will definitely call her for other special moments in our lives. Photography is one of the key parts of a wedding you just do not skimp out on. The value you get from Joy as a person alone is enough to assure you that day of and the end result will be beyond your expectations - we were delighted!
