Photography for silly little weirdos.
Welcome new friend!
You’ve reached a place where all are welcome, vibrant colors are brought to life, and candid moments are top priority!
Joy Shots Photography offers a unique blend of documentary wedding photography and classic, timeless portraiture that will be treasured as family heirlooms.
Based in Lynchburg, Virginia in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains, I travel throughout the USA (and beyond) to capture silly little weirdos just like you!
Your wedding is not a photoshoot.
At the end of your wedding day, if you feel like you were part of an elaborate magazine photoshoot, I have failed you. I want you to immerse fully in your day, enjoy every moment, and spend as much time as you can with each other and your guests!
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. Engagement sessions are always included at no cost to help you start feeling comfortable and confident in front of the camera!
Learn more for yourself.
Listen. I get it. It’s the internet. Anyone can say what they want. So don’t just trust me.
Trust the hundreds of couples and families I’ve worked with over the years!
