I’m Joy. Photographer. Golden hour light chaser. Living room dancer. Perpetually found with a camera in one hand and an iced coffee in the other. I’m always searching for beauty, meaning, and those in-between moments that feel unforgettable. 

I have only ten photographs from my wedding day—ten carefully chosen frames that captured the expected moments. I cherish them. But as the years have passed, it’s not those images I reach for first- it’s the moments that weren’t documented. The quiet anticipation before I walked down the aisle, the way he made me laugh when I was nervous, the embrace from my Mamaw I would give anything to feel again. The fleeting, unscripted moments... those are the ones that shaped the heart of our story.

That perspective is at the core of how I photograph weddings today. I approach each celebration with an eye for both refinement and truth- capturing not only the beauty of what is seen, but the depth of what is felt. The in-between, the understated, the deeply personal. The result is imagery that goes beyond documentation- it becomes legacy.

Photographs that don’t just reflect how your day looked, but how it lived and breathed, so it can be remembered fully for generations to come.
