Hands down--THE BEST PHOTOGRAPHER IN THE INDUSTRY! As a wedding planner, I've had the opportunity of working with Joy on many weddings and I've also worked with hundreds of other photographers. Joy stands out as a leader in the industry for many reasons. Joy is an artist, not someone who decided they loved photography and picked up a camera one day. When the time came that I needed to book a photographer for my own wedding earlier this year, the choice was clear--Joy Marie. And I am SO GLAD she was available because my photos evoke every emotion that I felt that day and are so perfect that they are beyond words. She nailed it, as I knew she would since she's made so many of my clients SO happy in the past.

Why I love Joy Marie:
She talks the couple through the engagement session so they feel more than comfortable with the photo session on their wedding day. She positions the couple perfectly to catch the most beautiful angles. This is crucial to any bride who isn't a professional model. You'll feel like the most amazing version of yourself was portrayed when you get your photos back! She has a keen eye for lighting and backdrops as well. I don't need to go into this because her photos speak for themselves.

On the back end of things, Joy is professional, kind, prompt, thorough and genuinely passionate for what she does. She's a team player and will do ANYTHING to get amazing photos. She also seems to capture even the quickest moments. Whenever something is photo worthy during your event, Joy is there and makes that split second in time, a piece of art.

On top of all of this--there is nobody else I'd rather have following me around on my wedding. Joy is incredibly likable and that is SO important when this person is following you around on one of the most important days of your life. She can get along with anyone as she's very easy going and has the leadership skills to pull groups of people together for beautiful family photos.

THE BEST!

Joy and David were simply amazing at shooting our wedding. Their attention to detail and professionalism are unmatched and the quality of images are legendary. I've had friends literally all over the world comment on our photography indicating it is the best they've ever seen. Joy truly has a rare gift for bringing out the best pictures in people. I would highly recommend Joy in every aspect of her job.

I would give Joy Marie 6 stars our of 5 if they would let me. Joy Marie is incredibly talented. So many of our photos look like they can be straight out of a magazine. She effectively combines art, fashion, photo journalism and candid moments seamlessly. She made us look and feel like a million dollars. Her attention to detail is unparalleled. She doesn't like posed pictures (but of course she will do them and all the formal shots), she just told us to interact with each other, and the results were amazing. I feel so fortunate every time I look at our photos. Joy Marie is simply the best!
