OH WHAT A
Joie!
Joan Miró’s profound words, “you can look at a picture for a week and never think of it again. You can also look at a picture for a second and think of it all your life,” serve as my guiding inspiration. On my creative journey with my couples, my ultimate goal is to translate those sentiments into enduring memories captured on film. I aim to preserve the joyful essence of the day, ensuring that these memories stay vivid in your heart for a lifetime.
Hello! I’m Joie, and I’ve dedicated nearly two decades to this craft. Over the years, I’ve honed my skills, but my constant driving force has always been a passionate commitment to capturing authentic moments of love and connections between people.

A LITTLE MORE ABOUT ME
Simply Joie
I can say with without a doubt that I am the luckiest. Nurtured in the embrace of a bustling family of seven, my heart has always longed to create a family of my own. I’m blessed to say I am married to the love of my life, and we are now the proud parents of two enchanting souls who redefine the concept of amazing! Not to say the journey wasn’t difficult, but the reason I consider myself fortunate is because I am now also living out my dream to create for a living, a testament to the artistry that courses through me.
I’m among the few who get to do what they LOVE everyday! A true HOPELESS ROMANTIC, my heart intertwines with photography and the art of creation so seamlessly that the mere thought of an alternative existence feels so foreign to me. It is such a privilege to live each weekend steeped in love, graced with front-row seats so I can create and capture the most exquisite love stories ever narrated.
When I proclaim that what I do is a true labor of LOVE, I really mean it. My reward lies in the whispered gasps of my couples, caught in the spell of a photograph that reveals a fleeting moment unbeknownst to them. My reward resonates in the echoes of shared memories, as my couples traverse the years, reliving their joy through the lens of my craft. Or when a family member confides that a captured image stands as the epitome of their essence, I stand affirmed that my purpose is fulfilled. In these moments, I am not just a witness; I am the alchemist, transmuting the ordinary into the extraordinary, one frame at a time.
ABOUT MY CLIENTS
Simply You
A Simple Joie couple mirrors my passion for artful design, fashion, and personal touches. Drawing inspiration from their travels and the poetry of natural elements; instead of investing in favors that are put on a shelf, they enjoy crafting immersive experiences that transcend the shelf life.
My couples cherish weaving their love story into the fabric of their celebrations and are very intentional with crafting of exceptional experiences for their loved ones. My couples believe the cornerstones of an extraordinary celebration lie in the harmonious interplay of delectable cuisine, good music, and thoughtful design—a synthesis that paves the way for timeless moments and indelible memories.
In their worldview, a wedding photographer holds a position of intimate significance, much like an estheticians and therapists, as I become an integral part of their big day, surrounded only by their closest confidants. They extend beyond the transactional, valuing the cultivation of a genuine connection, forging a lifelong friendship throughout the journey.
For those who cherish uninterrupted memories, revel in the exploration of new horizons through travel and gastronomy, find solace in the embrace of sunsets and the serenity of sunrises, and appreciate the beauty of unscripted moments—welcome. If you love personal details just as much as I do. If you’re uncertain of what to do in front of the camera yet trust in the artistry at play. And if you like piña coladas and gettin’ caught in the rain, then our stories converge. Let’s intertwine, let’s create, and most importantly, let’s connect.
LOVE LETTERS | A REVIEW OF SIMPLE JOIE
Joie is kind, warm, patient, & incredibly professional!
If you are looking for a wedding photographer, Joie is the one for you! She takes gorgeous pictures and each one embodies the personality of the wedding party and guests! It was an absolute dream working with Joie!
Joie is kind, warm, patient, and incredibly professional! I was nervous about hiring a photographer for my wedding, as I have been a bridesmaid in several weddings before and sometimes it felt like the photographer only focused on a pretty shot and not capturing a couples personality.
Joie, however, took the time to get to know my husband and I. As soon as we ended our introductory video chat, her charisma instantly melted my worries. Joie respected all of our requests and made us feel comfortable throughout our wedding day. I never thought I would be a sane bride on my wedding day, but Joie’s personality is so sweet, that it was hard not to feel relaxed and 100% myself.
Joie made sure to capture every picture I wanted and checked in with me throughout the day in case there was a picture she thought I might like outside of the list I wrote for her. As soon as I received our wedding photos, I spent all day dreamily staring at each of the gorgeous photos! The attention to detail and personality in each picture allows me to relive my wedding day. I can not recommend Joie’s services enough!
Thank you, thank you, Joie!
