Words are going to fall short for the amount of appreciation we have for Joanna. She is the most responsive professional we have ever met to start. She fielded all of our questions...
so efficiently. But she made our engagement photos and wedding day so special.
For our engagement photos, she drove two hours as a new mother to support us. She guided us through a cloudy and dreary day in a city she did not live in. Additionally, it rained for our photos on our wedding day. Yet—she perfectly handled the situation, directed us so well, and was right out there with us to still provide stunning photos.
She was so easy to work with, and poured her whole heart into making our day special. We both really cherish photos, and come from families who do too. We are blown away by her work, and truly love her so much.

little incident. She not only did the photos for our wedding day, but also our engagement photoshoot. Shes such a calming person to talk to and is so easy to be yourself around. She gave us a lot of instructions and poses that we wouldn't have thought of. Book her!!! Shes so worth it!

d ease some of the nervous tension during both our engagement pictures and on our actual wedding day! She was also very communicative leading up to the day to ensure everything went smoothly and that we got all the pictures we wanted. I am a plus sized lady, and I was really nervous getting my pictures taken. Joanna made sure I felt beautiful and comfortable the entire day. I can't recommend her enough, and I hope to book her for our future life milestones :)

I am absolutely thrilled to share my experience working with Joanna as our wedding photographer. From the first inquiry to the final gallery, every aspect of working with her excee...
ded expectations. From the very first moment we reached out to Joanna, her communication was prompt, professional, and friendly. Whenever we had questions—whether it was about the timeline, how to prepare for the day—she was incredibly responsive and thorough.
On the day of our wedding, she was punctual, organized, and well-prepared. There was never a moment when we felt rushed, but she managed to capture every important moment without wasting time. Joanna was excellent at managing our photo sessions during the day, keeping us on schedule but allowing us the time we needed to enjoy our special moments. We never felt like we were being pulled away from our guests for too long.
My partner and I are not exactly pros when it comes to posing, and we were worried about looking stiff in our wedding pictures. Joanna was great at giving us gentle cues—like where to look, how to position our hands, or when to smile. The whole process was fun, and we never felt awkward or unsure of what to do
While posed photos were wonderful, what truly impressed us was Joanna's ability to capture candid moments throughout the day. She blended into the background during key moments like the ceremony, reception, and during interactions with family and friends. We were amazed by the photos of us laughing, hugging our parents, or sharing a quiet moment together—these are the photos that we’ll cherish the most.
Overall, working with Joanna was an absolute pleasure. She went above and beyond to make us feel at ease, and her professionalism and warmth ensured that our wedding day was documented beautifully. Every photo in our gallery felt like a true reflection of our love, the joy of the day, and the unique moments that made our wedding special.

I cannot recommend Joanna enough! She is a wonderful person who is really passionate about what she does. My husband and I decided to ask her to be our photographer for our wedding...
after looking at her portfolio - we loved her style of photography. She was great at giving directions on posing during engagement and wedding shots. She is super responsive when I emailed her questions and to finalize Day-of schedule. Before she left the wedding, she made sure to find us and ask if there was anything else we wanted to be photographed. We received the sneak peak at our Wedding pictures (wedding was only 1 week ago), and they look SO GOOD. We cannot wait until getting to see all of them! Joanna is such a kind person, really good at what she does - you won't be disappointed by choosing her.

rk with. We already received some previews and they are stunning and we know the rest will be everything we wished for and so much more. She checks every box and is extremely talented! To top it off we unexpectedly lost my brother in law who was my husband’s best man a little over a month after our wedding. I reached out to Joanna explaining the situation and asked if she would have a few pictures we could share at his viewing. Without batting an eye she got me some that same day and was extremely sweet and comforting in such a hard time for us. If you choose her as your photographer you will not regret it and if you don’t you’re truly missing out on a wonderful experience ❤️

Joanna shot our wedding in Cincinnati in Sept. 2021 and was a dream to work with. My partner and I were coming in from out of state and so could not meet her in person beforehand. ...
However, Joanna was able to make the entire process easy, starting with an initial Zoom meeting. The option to pay in installments was especially convenient for us. The day of, Joanna was on time, professional and friendly. She brought her own suggestions of which shots to get while also being open to our ideas. She also made sure that we got every group photo we wanted with different sets of family, friends, etc. When we finally saw the digital photos (which were delivered on time) we were both amazed at how Joanna seemed to have been everywhere at once! We are so happy with how they turned out. She also sends a wooden keepsake box with selected photos printed out, which is a lovely extra touch. If you have the opportunity to book Joanna for your wedding or any other event, don't pass it up! I cannot recommend her highly enough.

. Having her bright and uplifting energy around the day of the wedding made for great memories and lots of laughter. She was so flexible and tackled any obstacle the wedding day threw at us, even buttoning up my wedding dress! All of our families and guests LOVED Joanna, and I had so many newly engaged friends ask for her contact information after the wedding. Our engagement and wedding photos are beautiful and really show our personality as a couple. We could not be happier to have such a special day captured so beautifully, and a new friend made along the way!

Afterwards the keepsake box with a sweet handwritten note from her was an added bonus too. To sum it up we'd definitely choose Joanna again to capture future memorable moments for us!

irst time all our family members were together, and some of them were uncomfortable in front of a camera, but Joanna put everyone at ease, even our niece and nephew (ages 6 and 4). She made us laugh and did a great job posing everyone in a way that looked great and natural. She also efficiently captured all the shots we’d asked for, even finishing with some time for a few extra shots. We not only got great family wedding portraits, but we had a lot of fun taking the photos as well. Joanna is professional, efficient, knows her stuff, and creates beautiful images! Hire her!

She doesn't just capture the posed pictures, she captures all the little moments which are just as important. I cannot wait to have Joanna take more pictures for us in the future!
