Joie Elie Photography & Cinematography

share with my family & friends immediately! Joe is very hands on and friendly. He not only takes great photos but also help the groomsmen pin their boutonniere nicely. Joe's work is very unique and they stand out immediately when I was doing my photographer's research and I knew he is the one I need for my wedding. This is hands down the best decision ever made. I highly recommend Joie Elie Photography to all couples who don't want to the same old wedding photography.

e wedding they captured some great ariel video & photos with their drone knowing the pending storm would make that type of cinematography difficult on the day of. They had meticulously planned for the day and their team was strategically positioned to capture every moment, angle, perspective of the video. We still have guests complimenting us on the same day edit. We are constantly told how it was one of the best people have seen. They did an amazing job editing their video during our break between the wedding and reception to enable us to show the same day edit at the beginning of our reception before we walked out. The video for the overall day was put together in a 30 minute format which was just perfect. They really captured the memory of that day brilliantly. HIGHLY recommended.

r work is outstanding and worth every penny. Everyone who saw the pictures and/or the videos from the wedding said that Joie Elie Photography and Cinematography captured the day perfectly. My husband and I couldn't agree more, and we would highly recommend their services to anyone and everyone.

e gallery was easy to use. Joe and his assistant, Matt, somehow captured the most private and beautiful moments and we didn't even know they were there. I am blown away by the photos. My family and friends have all said they our photos are magazine-worthy. I cannot recommend Joie Elie enough and they are affordable to boot.

documenting all the important moments without intruding. From creative angles to original poses, they were able to capture the spirit of our day, not just the events! The quality of both their photography and videography is superb and the turnaround time was much faster than I expected. I highly recommend Joie Elie to any bride looking for excellent photo and video paired with top-notch service. Joie Elie is nothing short of the best!

grapher! Making decisions for a wedding can be extremely stressful, especially when you cannot redo them if they don't come out the way you expect them to the day of. I looked at a ton of photographers online and read even more reviews, but when I came across Joie Elie, I knew I needed to schedule a meeting. Since day one, Vickie was such a pleasure to work with! She calmed all my fears, showed me lots of options and samples of work and I knew that the level of work, her and her team were able to create, was the level I wanted for my wedding. She walked me through every step and kept in touch frequently along the way. The day of the wedding Joe Kuan and the rest of the team arrived early and started working immediately. So many of my guests complimented me on my photographers because they were so professional and unobtrusive. Seriously! I usually don't pay attention to photographers at weddings I've been too, unless they are annoying and in the way! (Not Joie Elie!) They were also pretty cool! I chose both photography and cinematography and don't regret it for a second. I love everything about my photos and video! They are absolutely perfect! I can't stop looking at them, even one year later! Honestly, I would recommend Joie Elie if you want to remember every aspect of your wedding! They don't miss a beat!

an not be happier. Your presence during the ceremony and reception was entirely transparent. However, you were unmistakably apparent through the exceptional memories that you created. Thank you for capturing the absolute best moments of our lives! I'd highly recommend Joie Elie to all the couples who are looking for phenomenal results and wonderful service!

s at the right moment. We are all so thrilled with the outcome and happily show the photos and videos to our friends and family. Joie Elie did a great job conveying the range of emotions on display during our wedding festivities, which was the most important part of the visuals. We especially appreciate the time JE took to understand the cultural and spiritual significance of all our wedding ceremony traditions prior to the day.

re incredible the day of our event and even afterwards through the entire editing and picture selection process (the most difficult part was choosing between all of the amazing shots they took!). We highly recommend them!

initially very nervous and dreaded booking the wedding videographer. I knew they are expensive and didn’t want the video to become one of those things that you watch once and never watch again. But once my mom showed me a video from Joie Elie, I knew that it was the kind of wedding film that I wanted. Working with Vickie was very easy and professional. Over the phone, she very sincerely told me that she wanted to make my wedding video beautiful. Vickie, Joe and their team did just that! First, we received the trailer just a couple days after the wedding and it beautifully captured the day in just 2.5 minutes – the amazing setting and timeless moments. My mother-in-law told me she watched the wedding trailer everyday after the wedding and she may still to this day! I loved my wedding day and the trailer and video captured it perfectly. I have no regrets about hiring the Joie Elie team and every dollar was well spent. They are cinematographers so made our wedding day into a movie that made me laugh and cry. I even later requested the raw footage and Vickie arranged to send it after I provided a hard drive for it. Originally, I was a hesitant bride about wedding videos but now a very happy one. Thank you Joie Elie!

u only get one chance at. Each one is as clear as the next. We are completely blown away. We looked at many photographers (some much more expensive) and are VERY glad with our choice. Their use of light, adaptability, and framing is top of the line. We were married at Stonehouse at Stirling Ridge and decided to do a "first look" in a park about 15 minutes away that they had never been to before. Within two weeks of our suggesting it they had driven there on their own time to scope it out for us. Amazing. Did I mention we received our photos very quickly? Thank you Joie Elie!!!

sive and the way he was able to capture the light made all the difference in the photos. His professionalism the day of really made an impression on my husband and I, along with our guests. I believe one of guests said "he is the real deal". All in all we couldn't be happier with the service Joie Elie provided leading up to our wedding, the day of and of course, the final result of the photos.

lection in the proof book(s)! All of them were fantastic. We now have an unbelievable keepsake to remind us of our special day, thank you so much!

elt like you were a part of the wedding when you were watching. We are very happy with everything they had provided us.”

rice that we paid, the quality was great. They have awesome options for couples for prints and albums. I recommend them, but I would also be more forthright and outspoken about things than I was.

surprising, intimate, and beautiful moments of our wedding. We really couldn't be happier!

you all strived to give us the best possible product. We are all so thrilled with the outcome and happily show the photos and videos to our friends and family.

You have given us a great gift.

onceited, but it really is the best wedding film & pictures I’ve ever seen. Thank you for capturing all of our amazing moments of the day- it’s a gift that will be cherished through generations.

d the expertise is outstanding. Vickie is so caring it is such a pleasure to work with her. Our photographer was Yunika and she is AMAZING!!! Our engagement and wedding photos all look like they came directly out of a magazine. Everyone was blown away. I'm glad we didn't skimp on this service because the photos and video are all we have left and they were perfectly captured and we are so grateful! Did I mention the video drone??? It added another element to our video that can not be topped! I more than highly recommend Joie Elie and Yunika to anyone looking to have their wedding memories captured perfectly! Thanks again to Vickie, Joe and most of all, Yunika! You are all the best!!!

with and Joe's easy sense of humor made my wedding day all that more special. We had many little traditions and even without explaining them, Joe and Yunika captured every detail beautifully. Their use of lighting is especially noteworthy. Vicky was amazing in her responsiveness to all my calls and emails and we were able to work out a package easily. I highly recommend them for their incredible photography and professionalism! You will not be disappointed if you choose Joie Elie for your wedding photograpy.

n time, and was very energetic taking photos for 5-6 hours during the reception. He caught a bunch of really wonderful detail shots that I hadn't even imaged could be taken! The best part of Joie Elie, however, is their service after the event. Lots of photographers can take good pictures, but oftentimes people wait months and months to get them, and even longer to produce an album. From soup to nuts, I was done with Joie Elie 6 weeks after the event. The quality of the photos and the album are unmatched. For 10 years now, Joie Elie has been the photographer at every family and family friend's wedding. They didn't disappoint at mine, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them again.

artistic, caught the best aspects of the venue. Great pictures of the couple and guests. Did an excellent job putting together the album.

we knew we really didn't want the typical portrait photos. We wanted our photos to tell a story, capture those perfect moments, and have that artistic touch. Joe really captures all of those things and more. He has such a great eye for taking pictures. It was great working with both Joe and Vickie. I would highly recommend using Joie Elie photography for any event.

me, not just a client in need of service. She was overjoyed for us regarding our engagement and happy to fulfill any request. After some small talk, the room went silent and she allowed their work to speak for itself. We were blown away by the beautiful photos in the albums we saw and the world-class detail in every picture. We also had an opportunity to view clips from previous weddings. We immediately knew that Joie Elie was the photographer that we wanted to capture our special day. Over the next several months, Vickie was more than accommodating in answering our many questions. We had our engagement photo shoot in May, which gave us an opportunity to establish a great rapport with our lead photographer, Yunika. When we received our engagement photo shoot guest book, we were in awe at the craftsmanship and detail that clearly went into the book. On Saturday morning, Yunika and Phillipe arrived early and to our great surprise, Vickie arrived a short while later. We booked 12 hours of photography and videography and are so grateful that we did. All night long, they worked tirelessly to capture every possible moment on film. With that being said, we are absolutely stoked and are very much looking forward to seeing our photos and videos. Thank you a million times over to Vickie, Yunika, and Phillipe for what we imagine will be the most beautiful memories captured on film. Sheree Reiff and Michael Guglielmi

ton, for your promptness in sending us all the photos, for your professionalism on our wedding day, and most of all- for sharing your impeccable talent with us. Please share our appreciation with the rest of your team! -A and S

alent they have. I am still getting compliments, a year later, on how beautiful my pictures were. They are extremely easy to work with and definitely put the customer #1. I recommend them to all my family and friends without hesitation.

have wowed our family, our friends, and even ourselves. We highly recommend Joie Elie Photography!

. When we saw the photos, we couldn’t believe that’s us!! The background, composition, and colors are like art work, while we still look happy and real in them. All of our families and friends love the photos too! There isn’t a better way to retain and share the memories and happiness of our wedding with our families/friends!

is day I love looking at my pictures and I stare at them in awe of how beautiful they are. Not only did Joe capture great pictures of us but also of our boys. these are pictures that we will treasure and enjoy for a lifetime.

he style of our wedding and understanding who we were as people. This truly helped in providing to us memorable pictures. I am beyond happy with the results. I'd highly recommend you go with Joie Elie.

commenced AFTER our morning family photo-shoot. They took the time to understand all that was meant to happen during this day and somehow seamlessly captured EVERY important moment without missing a beat. Their ability to tell a story in pictures is flawless and the videography was even better. Of all the vendors we used Joie Elie is one that we find ourselves recommending over and over again to anyone looking. Somehow they also managed to satisfy very hard to please and hyper-critical parents who were very skeptical that we did not go with 'Indian Wedding' photographers and they too find themselves now making referrals to j/e. Without a doubt, j/e far exceeded our expectations and more importantly did it with such class and kindness that they truly were a pleasure to work with till the very end. We thank them whole-heartedly and as a result of THEIR efforts we are writing our first and probably last ever review!

ing all aspects of the day: from preparation to tiny details, family portraits to the last moments of the reception. We were particularly impressed with the candid photography; Joe and his crew seemed to always be in the right place at the right time without being intrusive, and there are pictures of absolutely everyone who was at the wedding. We were not asked to re-stage any moments from our wedding, which would have come off as fake in the photos. All of the pictures were taken in the moment as they happened (with the obvious exception of portraits). For example, any photos of me putting on my jewelry happened as I was actually putting on my jewelry, same with my make up and hair pictures. The cocktail hour and the reception were also fully captured in the photos, which was very important to us. Our lead photographer was Joe Kuan, one of the owners of the company, and he brought along another photographer as well as an assistant, who we were not expecting but which was a nice surprise. Having a second photographer was definitely worth the extra expense as we now have pictures of the ceremony and other key moments from many different angles, and the second photographer was able to cover more ground in photographing everyone and everything that was happening at our wedding. Joe really captured the essence of the Inn's rustic setting, finding the spaces that made our venue unique. After our first meeting with Joe, it was clear that photography is truly a passion for him, and his enthusiasm on our wedding day as well as the end product genuinely reflect the love and pride he has for his work. I would easily recommend Joie Elie to anyone who is looking to have their day uniquely and beautifully captured.

are stunning and my family and friends love how Joe and Vickie captured special moments of me and my husband. They are easy to work with, have a lot of creative ideas, and most importantly I felt comfortable. I am very pleased and I would highly recommend them.

beautiful shots. Our friends and family are constantly complimenting our wedding photos. Yunika is amazing and we would definitely recommend Joie Elie!

e were so kind and welcoming, they made the process a breeze! It was an easy choice when we booked them! We couldn't believe our eyes when we saw their work hanging in their studio! Their talent is absolutely amazing! They brought that talent to our wedding and because of them we have the best wedding photos we could have ever imagined! We get compliments all the time on how beautiful the shots are! We can't recommend Joie Elie enough - you will NOT be disappointed. We can't wait to hire them for another event! Jessica & Norberto!

mazing job of capturing all the important moments in a beautiful way. I am even more impressed that within 30 days of the wedding, I now have all the pictures (many thousands of them) and edited videos (many hours long) including a highlight video of 13 mins which is beautifully done with appropriate mix of background music & live sound. Some of the things I really liked about them... 1) quick response 2) excellent quality 3) no hassles...just easy to work with 4) no surprises... I strongly recommend Vickie and Joe Kuan for your photography needs. Feel free to call me if you want to discuss.

a generic feel to her wedding - even though it should feel special and personable . I even met with a few photographers who were very stuck in their ways for what "works" and gave me the impression that they would feel intrusive on the day rather than just capturing it. When I came across the work of Joie Elie Photography, it immediately stood out to me! Every wedding felt unique... they were really capturing the essence of the couple. The first thing that set Joie Elie apart from other photographers were their engagement session photos. Then when I met with Joie Elie's lead photographer Joe and his wife Vickie, they put together the perfect package for me and they worked within my budget. I couldn't have been happier with our unbelievably gorgeous engagement photo shoot and our wedding day photos. Joe was like a ninja at our wedding - capturing every detail and creatively and artistically piecing together the memories that will last us our lifetime - but never getting in the way of the events. I couldn't believe the photos he captured while me and my husband along with our guests were never aware of him at all. We have so many beautiful portraits and he did them in record time so we could just ENJOY our wedding day - rather spending a lot of time posing for photos. I could not have been happier when I saw the photos and I have received so many compliments on them. Most importantly, Joie Elie created my lasting wedding memories more BEAUTIFUL than I could have ever imagined - timeless, elegant, personable photos that my husband and I just cherish!!

Leslie and Michael Goszka. Please consider them when you are looking for amazing wedding memories you won't be disappointed!
