Simple Joie | Wedding Film + Digital Photographer

love is simple.

REFINED SIMPLICITY, ARTFULLY TOLD.

WELCOME

LOVELIES

Greetings! I’m Joie, an impassioned wedding photographer crafting enchanting tales through evocative imagery. Originally a California dreamer, I now find myself intricately woven into the embrace of Portland, Oregon. I’ve exchanged the warmth of the Bay Area’s golden hour for the ever-shifting spectacle of the Oregon coastline, where the Pacific Northwest rain adds its poetic cadence to my narrative.

I specialize in portrait, wedding, and event photography, where I seamlessly blend digital and film formats. Collaborating closely with clients, I aim to capture authentic moments of love and connection, reflecting the essence of the celebrations I am privileged to document.

Simple Joie proudly champions inclusion, equity, and diversity. In my belief that the core of our humanity lies in love, I am dedicated to cultivating a space that is not only welcoming but safe for all.

WHAT MAKES ME DIFFERENT?

LOVE

Being a portrait and wedding photographer is incredibly fulfilling for me as it allows me to be a part of numerous stories in this one precious lifetime. For me, it is not just about capturing fleeting moments but also about forging lasting relationships. 

I approach my work with utmost sincerity, understanding that I am entrusted with immortalizing once-in-a-lifetime moments that will echo through generations as cherished family heirlooms. What makes this journey even more special is that it extends far beyond the wedding day – it’s about being there for my clients as their families grow and their legacies unfold. My photography is a genuine labor of love, and my ultimate joy is witnessing the heartfelt tears of happiness when clients lay eyes on their cherished photos.

passion is momentary

love is enduring

It is my honor to create &

Joie was simply amazing and we could not be happier that she was a part of our wedding day.

From the early planning stages we could tell that we had made the right choice. She is a true professional who knows exactly what questions to ask, and is also a kind soul whose steadying presence gave us confidence that everything would go off without a hitch (unintended hitches, anyway, hah). 

On the day of the wedding she came prepared for anything, and we put her to the test – our venue had indoor and outdoor settings, natural and artificial light, and a dance floor that was both dark and raucous. She handled it all. She has a very easygoing way of getting everyone into just the right positions and places when necessary, all while maintaining a great eye for snapping spontaneity too. 

When we look at the gorgeous photos from our wedding, they tell the whole story of the day. From the big moments to the small details, everything is there and captured with impeccable style. The posed photos look natural, and the candids are fun and often hilarious. If you are reading this then you already know that planning a wedding involves too many decisions and things to worry about. 

You can leave everything photo related in Joie’s capable hands and know that it will be done tastefully and meticulously. She will take a weight off your shoulders and leave you free to address all the other considerations in making your wedding day perfect for you. We are so happy we chose Joie and are extremely grateful for her excellent work.
