Joan was amazing! We had issues with our original photographer not committing to a date for our engagement shoot and not responding to messages, so I sought out a new photographer....
Joan responded very quickly to all my emails, despite bad reception while camping. I am so glad we found her!! She is amazing! When we had to postpone due to Covid, she didn't bat an eye and was completely flexible. Luckily she was free for one of the 2 dates our reception venue was available this year.
Our pictures turned out AMAZING! She knew exactly how to get us to pose and smile without looking awkward. The groomsmen appreciated how the encouraged their silly behavior instead of getting annoyed by it. She took advantage and got some fun silly photos of the boys being boys. I also loved that she had an assistant (Mindy), which allowed us to get plenty of getting ready photos of both of us at the same time. She also got some cool candid photos while Joan was focused on portraits. I highly recommend Joan and Mindy!
Everything Joan did made our perfect day even better. From candids while getting ready to our first look to the wedding and reception after she worked seamlessly into our day and w...

Joan shot our engagement photos, and we cannot wait for her to shoot our wedding too! She knows exactly how to help you strike the perfect poses - romantic without being too cheesy...
, and she is willing to spend a lot of time to ensure you’ll have a good variety of backdrops and perspectives. We were absolutely blown away by the quality of her photos and we couldn’t choose just one photo for our Save The Dates - we loaded it up with 7 (that’s how great she made us look and feel)! We definitely recommend her and her impressive services to everyone. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, Joan! See you in October! :)

pointed. She made our engagement session so fun and easy, I knew the wedding day pictures wouldn’t be a concern. The day of our wedding, Joan and her second shooter helped keep us on track with timing and made everyone feel comfortable. There were several pictures that I didn’t even know were taken, and so many candid pictures of our guests; it was so great to see all the fun and love that they captured. We couldn’t be happier with our pictures and the time we spent with Joan!
SHE IS AMAZING!! Joan has done our engagement and wedding photos. She's great to work with. We felt so comfortable around her. The wedding photos were above and beyond our expecta...

From our initial meeting with Joan to review our wedding plans, to our engagement photos and ultimately our big day, Joan was more than our photographer, we really feel that we mad...
e a trusted friend and were so excited to work with her ; we were confident from day one and were not disappointed! Joan was incredibly patient and flexible in her style, she quickly put us at ease during the engagement session to get us laughing. The day of the wedding she had every detail down from what we discussed in our final planning session, I was made to feel I had nothing to worry about. Joan spent the pre-ceremony time with me and the photos she captured of the Bridal party, my mom, the little things going on around me, the spontaneous moments, a glance - they were simply amazing. I look back at these a year later and I'm beyond appreciative of Joan's extremely talented eye for everything that this day represents and capturing it in such a magical way. Our family photos after the ceremony were full of laughter and she had so many creative groupings of family members that we loved. At our reception, some of my most beloved photos were of family and friends that traveled from afar yet it seems no one attending was left out! The candid shots and managing to document our entire day, even when we weren't looking, is such a treasure to us. You will not be disappointed in trusting Joan and you'll be sure to make a friend.
Joan did an awesome job photographing our wedding. She made us feel so relaxed and comfortable! We blended families and she was able to get some heartwarming and memorable shots of...

also had to go to the bathroom really badly in the middle of our photo shoot and she made sure I found a restroom quickly :)
Joan was our photographer for our engagement and wedding pictures. Right from the start we knew we had picked the right photographer for us. My husband was not comfortable with the...
idea of a photographer but Joan made the experience relaxed and fun for him as well. Joan and her assistant were very efficient the day of the wedding. They let us make last minute picture requests, and made sure we got all the shots on our list. The picture time went so fast, and it was fun for everyone. When we got the pictures back there were so many that I loved, and I still have not decided what ones I want to hang up. The price was also very reasonable compared to other photographers I researched. We will definitely be seeking her services in the future!!
Joan is amazing! She did a fantastic job! She is so personable and has her stuff together! She clearly has lots of experience! Loved her!
