i truly believe that

love is that simple


[DESTINATION WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER]

I know that all love stories are not made equally. Some stories start off slow and continue steady, while some happen quickly like the beating heart when one falls in love for the very first time. Some stories fill up entire rooms, while others are soft, subtle and quiet. Some love stories are familiar and fit like an old sweater that is pulled out every fall as the colors start to show on the leaves. Some stories last a lifetime and some have to end to give way for new ones to begin.

However your story started, I know that you are here today because this is your GREAT love story that is unfolding. This is the story that you’ve already told your best friends, the one you couldn’t wait to share with your mom, and the same story you’ll tell your kids and their kids about someday.

I believe that we only exist because of love and that it has the power to change the world. I know that if you just take a moment and close your eyes, you too will realize that the simplicity of love is also what makes it so magical.

I can’t wait to document this joyful time of your life so you can share your legacy with your loved ones for many many more years to come!

This is the way your love story was meant to be told

WHAT COUPLES ARE SAYING ABOUT JOIE

Joie was a dream come true to work with and I feel fabulous in all my photos!

I thought I’d write this review even though it’s tough and too personal but I just had to share how ecstatic I was to get my photos back from our wedding with Joie!! First off, I’m a heavier set lady and one of my biggest concerns was trying to find a photographer who has worked with all body types and different kinds of people and willing to see my vision for the photos and angles that I will feel most flattering in.

Joie was a dream come true to work with and I feel fabulous in all my photos because she made sure to boost my confidence with her words during the day but more so, working with me to get my best angles. I loved how she knew simply how to pose my husband and I so that I will feel my best! Aside from getting flattering images of myself, I will also have to say, she’s the only photographer I’ve ever seen go above and beyond to make sure we have different shots from our ceremony. Many of my friends who were married before me were also excited to see that there was more than just your typical from the back of the aisle shots.

I know Joie shared with us in our consultation that she would be using a zoom lens to capture the ceremony so that she would not interfere with our ceremony but I was so surprised to see the kinds of shots of me looking at my husband as we exchanged vows as well as my husband crying during the ceremony.

I think that one main thing that sets Joie apart from a lot of other photographers that I interviewed before we hire her is how much she truly cares about seeing our vision and working with us to make sure she captures it. She did an amazing job with helping us plan our photography timeline to work with the rest of the day, and we had plenty of time to steal away for additional sunset photos. I can’t wait to hire Joie again and again for other sessions into the future!!
