hi! I'm Joanna!

When I think back to my own wedding photos, the ones that mean the most to me are the ones with my grandparents. At the time when we got married, we weren't sure if my grandparents would make it to our wedding in person. But they did.
Seeing them sitting in the front row in their wheelchairs means the world to me. Just a few months after our wedding, my granddad passed away. Our wedding day was one of the last times I saw him in person. It was the last time I hugged him. The last time I spoke to him face to face.
From creating photo-friendly timelines to capturing your grandparents holding hands during your ceremony, I'm there for you. We know how important your wedding day is, and we don't want you to miss a thing!
I'll be the one shouting "Yesssss!!!!" from behind the camera when the wind catches your veil and doing whatever it takes to get the perfect shot!
Our passion lies in creating a one-of-a-kind experience.
WHAT SETS US APART IS THAT
3 of 3
These photos are priceless to me. They are the most precious memories, and I can't look at them without tearing up. You don't realize how important photos are until they're all you have left. Michael and I know how important the people in the front row are in your life.
While you are fixated on each other at the altar, we are your eyes for you. We're photographing your parents, your grandparents and all the ones sitting in the front row watching you get married. These photos are priceless to us, and we want you to have them too.

CASEY & STEPHEN
Joanna was the best wedding photographer we could have asked for! Our engagement and wedding pictures are out of the world amazing. She and Michael made posing for pictures, which could be awkward and uncomfortable, so easy! I can’t say enough about how beautiful our pictures are. Going with Joanna was such a great choice! Highly recommend!

ANNE & JEICCY
Joanna and Michael are so talented, professional, gracious, and service-oriented. They were one of the most accommodating vendors during COVID, and rescheduled with us twice. Their service is outstanding, from the initial conversations, to the engagement session, to the wedding session, everything was flawless. They do everything with excellence and provide the utmost customer service from start to finish. We've gotten so many compliments on our wedding pictures. We love their work and we are so incredibly grateful! Choosing Joanna was one of the best wedding decisions we made.

Joanna and her husband Michael were amazing! They seriously kept me calm during a hectic day. When I saw the blog post of 70+ images from our wedding THREE days after our wedding, I couldn't believe how many great portraits she got of us in such a short amount of time! They did a wonderful job being discrete, giving clear direction and keeping their distance during the ceremony. I hardly remember them being there, but in the best possible way. She captured our day perfectly, and I recommend them to anyone!

I could not have imagined working with anyone other than Joanna and Michael. From the first time I met them, I was super comfortable. Joanna and Michael shot our engagements with our dogs and captured all of the photos that were on my wish list. I don't enjoy being center of attention but Joanna made me feel so at ease! Leading up to the wedding, she was 100% available to answer my questions and assured me that everything was covered. Working with Joanna and Michael the day of the wedding was a breeze. They captured everything I could have ever wanted and more!

BRITTANY & ALEX
Joanna was truly a joy to work with. The photos we received were above and beyond what I had hoped for! Joanna and Michael were both so kind and really fun to work with. They provided us so many resources leading up to the big day to make sure we were ready to go. The engagement session was so helpful for us to get comfortable in front of the camera and how we should pose. It gave us such peace of mind for how photos would go on the wedding day! Her turnaround time was insanely fast, which was amazing because we couldn't wait to see them! They even had some fun surprises they sent us along the way, which made the experience so special. I would highly recommend Joanna. The photos were so light and airy, my family couldn't stop raving about them!

MEAGAN & RICHARD
I am at a loss for words. Joanna has been the most selfless and most helpful person from the start of this whole process. She truly makes every bride feel special and works to make everything happen. She was willing to drive to Texas A&M for our engagement shoot and with no experience on campus and captured the most incredible photos. Joanna was there for me during my bridals, experimenting with different areas of the venue, with/without my veil, and everything in between, always having a smile on her face. Lastly, to the wedding! YALL THE PICTURES ARE AMAZING! Joanna has been the BEST to work with and so kind and patient during the entire process. Spend the money on a photographer and choose Joanna. The best day of your life will be captured PERFECTLY by her!
