We reviewed at least 25 different photographers for our wedding. We were looking for someone with a great personality, who was able to catch the special moments in her/his photogra...
phy, with excellent photo quality. Joanna is all 3 of these!
Joanna was flexible with us from the beginning.... even scheduling a skype "meeting" since we couldn't meet in person for a consultation. She is fun, gets genuinely excited about everything that the bride will get excited about (believe me, it never hurts to have someone else grin ear to ear with you when you're checking out the venue together!), and is just plain awesome.
Joanna took very beautiful shots of our wedding day - and ESPECIALLY the first look and portraits were outstanding. We now have memories that we will cherish forever. She was VERY quick about getting the photos back to us too! Even posting some sneak peaks the very next day! :)
Joanna is SO wonderful. You will not regret hiring her for your special day!
I contacted Joanna on Facebook after our wedding photographer fell through just a few weeks before our wedding. I have to say that our crisis was probably the best thing to happen ...
to our wedding!
Joanna has a beautiful eye for capturing the emotion of the day - the love and happiness that you would never think can be enveloped in a single frame.
Her professionalism and ability to blend into the day were amazing. When I think of the day and look at all of our guests pictures, she is a ghost. That is an amazing feat considering the pictures that she got.
Best of all, we have every part of our day captured for all eternity - from first look to first dance.
We are forever grateful for her talent and thank her for being a part of our day.
Joanna has a natural ability for photography. I contacted her via Facebook when I got the urge to have a boudoir shoot of myself for my fiance (soon hubby-to-be). I thought it woul...
d be the perfect surprise wedding gift!
The boudoir was an awesome experience and so I asked Joanna if she would consider being the photographer at my wedding as well. I knew that she was accustomed to family photo shoots and boudoir settings and that I would be her first wedding, but I was confidant in her abilities. I didn't need anything extraordinary, as I was having a very small courthouse wedding and a luncheon afterwards with about 30 closest family and friends, but what I received from Joanna was as good as it gets!
Not only does she do great editing, but her knack for catching those sentimental candid shots are fantastic! There were so many emotions...happy, excited, elated and with all that love came some tears of joy...all of which were beautifully captured for me to print, frame and have forever.
Thanks Joanna for doing what you do...I hope to be the first of many weddings for you!
What an empowering experience! From the moment I walked in the door, Joanna made the entire experience an unforgettable one. With upbeat music in the background and a glass of my f...
avorite wine, we went over some of our ideas that we had previously discussed and in no time, I went from being nervous and a little insecure to feeling like I was hanging out with a girlfriend ..warming up with silly duck face pictures :) She was understanding to my insecurities and found ways to work around them and focus more on my good assets. All it took was seeing the first sneak peak on the back of her camera to really feel confident during and even after the photo shoot, Rejuvenated and Sassy. The photos turned out Gorgeous! My husband, of course loves them and they gave me a huge confidence boost! Can't wait to get my girlfriends together for a group session and day of pampering with her!
