Photography for silly little weirdos.
Your wedding is not a photoshoot.
Joy Shots Photography captures timeless, true to color, documentary style photos for weddings in Virginia and across the US.
I believe your wedding is about celebrating your love, not about orchestrating an elaborate photoshoot. I prioritize fun over forced smiles, and eye catching candids over pausing the action for a staged shot.
Real and Authentic.
I promise you, everyone you see on my site is a “real” person. Not hired models, not a staged wedding, but a real wedding or session that had all the hiccups and humanity that might accompany your own wedding celebration or photo session.
From our first video call I’m learning your unique personalities and the quirks of your one of a kind relationship so that I can imagine ways to bring the real you to life in your photos. I’ll gently coach you through prompts to help you feel natural even during staged photos and I’ll help you plan a wedding day that isn’t just a fancy photoshoot.

Listen. I get it. It’s the internet. Anyone can say what they want. So don’t just trust me.
Trust the over 150 happy couples I’ve worked with over the past 7+ years.
