Both Jesse and I loved how amazing both Erica Shaw and our photographer and videographer Sabrina were. Erica took the time to schedule a Zoom and went over my timeline, and I could see how much she cared about making sure we got the pictures we wanted . She was caring and was a lot of fun and felt comfortable with her immediately. I'm so glad to have used joy video and they matched me with 2 loving & caring people 💗 would highly recommend

Our photographer was Roberto, who was amazing. He took a ton of time arranging us and our guests in the group photos to make sure everything looked perfect. He spent a lot of time adjusting lighting, the veil, the dress, etc. He was incredibly sweet, professional, and clearly very experienced. I’m very happy with my experience with Roberto and Joy Photography! Highly recommend!

I had the pleasure of having Inna as my photographer & Verve as my videographer capturing my special day in NY. They were such a pleasure to work with and super kind. They would help me fix my veil and dress to get the perfect shots. They were so kind and patient with my groom and I and as well as our guests. They were professional and made me feel so at ease on such a happy day filled with excitement. From the start they have lots of communication with a person via zoom and the phone. I had the pleasure of having someone help me create a realistic timeline for the photographer and videographer. They are very thorough and are quickly to answer any questions. I’ve had a great experience.

I am very unhappy with my exprience, Photographer and Videographer. I got the 6 hour photo and video for Joliet, IL. My orignal photographer got sick and they called in a replacement. She had no idea what she was doing and myself as the bride had to tell her what I wanted AND specified in the forms, I didn’t even get the most important photo of me, the groom and our children. On top of that, a lot of my photos were messed up and she didn’t care to point out to fix this or that on my posture/makeup/hair etc. Luckily photoshop helped a little bit, which is the only great thing out of this package.
I also decided to buy the RAW video so I could have my ceremony video. My photographer was in the way while my party walked down the aisle. My videoprahper and photographer were talking through my whole ceremony!!!!!!! I can’t even express how angry this makes me, you can barely hear our vows over them talking. I paid 300$ for this. I can’t get that moment back and I think it’s so rude they did that.
Also Videographer hit on my maid of honor most of the reception, super unprofessional. I honestly would not refer anyone to use this company for at least illinois.

One of the best decisions we made for our wedding was to choose Joy Photo and Video to document our day. They were the most wonderful people and captured everything we wanted and more that day! They communicated thoroughly throughout the planning process, including a detailed list of what photos we want and calls to discuss logistics of the day. The team was able to come up to Sedona for our wedding no problems, and were prompt to put starting time. Katy our photographer was an absolute pleasure-even the guests raved of how sweet she was! The photos she captured are magical, and she made sure to capture a lot of candid moments as we requested. What’s great is it didn’t feel like there was ever a camera nearby/in my face, so we are natural and at ease in our photos. Sean the videographer is amazing! He was so fun, and also had a drone for our epic mountain views that day. We cannot wait to see the finished video as we know it’ll be fantastic. We only had the team for 6 hours, but my goodness did they use the time efficiently! We had all the moments captured that we wanted, plus so many more. Do yourself a favor and hire Joy Photo for your photographer/videographer team!

DONT DO IT , communication is poor with this company. My husband and I are very disappointed and sad because the pictures that we received could have been done better and better quality and not all of the pictures that we REQUESTED on our shot list were taken which were the ones we MOST WANTED. The photographer wasn’t all that friendly or directive during pictures. We gave it a 2 star review because our videographer was nice and we are hoping to get a decent wedding video other than that it would have been a 1 star. We tried addressing this with Josh and there seems to be little to no concern about our complaints. Over all go with someone else.

It's concerning to hear about the lack of direction from the photographer and the insufficient communication with Josh—this is certainly not the experience we aim to provide. We appreciate you acknowledging the positive aspects of the videography, and we’re committed to improving the areas where we fell short. Thank you for sharing your feedback, and we sincerely apologize for not meeting your expectations.

Joy Photo and Video met all of my expectations! Josh was so great to work with for timeline and consultations! Will was our photographer and Shane was our videographer! They were both so incredible and had no problem with wearing a mask since I’m immunocompromised. Aside from their amazing personalities, their work was also just as incredible! Will did amazing at capturing intimate moments and Shane was just as on top of it! I also really appreciated that they worked so well together and were professional. The editing team at Joy was absolutely wonderful as well and did an impeccable job with our photos. I am so happy we found you guys and will happily pass word around to other couples. Thank you for capturing our day so beautifully.

We couldn't have been happier with Joy Photo and Video at our wedding! Glenn Gross was our photographer and he captured so many memorable moments throughout the day that we will always cherish. When we received our media I came across a photo of my father kissing me on the cheek during the bride and father dance, which will forever be a cherished moment between us. I'm very thankful and astonished that this moment was captured! Derralyn Morgan was our videographer and he captured so many moments that will always be remembered. He not only captured our entire wedding, but also coordinated with us to get every special moment that we desired. He also sent us a preview video highlight until we received the offical video highlight from Joy Photo and Video. I would recommend this company to all my family and friends!

I am utterly disappointed in the photos and service that we revived from Joy Photo and Video. Our photographer (Kaleb) did not meet our expectations as a photographer. I had a zoom meeting with him prior to our wedding day to help me feel more comfortable and went over what I expected on the day of such at helping pose individuals especially for portraits and family photos. Unfortunately, there was no direction from him; he was extremely lackadaisical and unmotivated on the day. We got the photos back there are large gaps/spacing in the group photos, some people are covered up to where they are just heads peeking over shoulders, some of them were out of focus, some of the portraits the wind was blowing and people's hair are messy. There was no mention of helping fix hair or reposition my dress. I was also upset that for the First Look, the photographer didn't catch my husbands reaction but mine? Some of the photos, the background is so BRIGHT-- the edited version looked worse. I was so devastated that I just let them sit on my computer, I did't want to look at them. I'm in tears. I thought this was going to be a great experience but I am gravely heartbroken by the quality of our photos and the lack of care by our photographer.

This review is for Delaney! Delaney was an amazing videographer. So hard working and had lots of great feedback while shooting our wedding in Sausalito, Ca. She took the lead and initiative for this day like a videographer should as weddings are fast moving with many working parts. Joy Photo and Video is lucky to have her. We had plenty of beautiful photos and our highlight video came out amazing. I can’t stop watching it! lol.

I think this is a next level up of hiring your brother as a photographer. The photographer was mediocre. He’s nice but he doesn’t have the shot ideas like the actual professionals. My maid of honor had to step in and help direct the photo. I have a long train on my dress, he didn’t even check or fix the train for the couple shots. My daughter performed a song during the wedding and we only have 1 picture of her. Scheduling is a nightmare. Instead of talking to someone, they kept on sending a calendar invite that is 2 weeks out. Their photoshop skill is horrible. My daughter has a cross eye now. And they can’t even out my son’s skin tone. And the best part, I don’t think they QV their job. Who would send a picture of a kid with cross eye. They were suppose to just remove a bug bite on her eye. So yeah you get what you pay for I guess.

I hired joy photo and video to video-graph my wedding and they were awesome and affordable!!! My videographer was changed very last minute but it was all Gods plan because he showed up and showed out!! Timothy Chang and his assistant were awesome. Timothy told us different poses and choreography that really made all the difference (I’m so awkward 🤣) we even made a TikTok getting ready and he was so dedicated he got in the room with us and was able to film the behind the scenes lol. I just got my videos back today (highlight reel and a 30 minute documentary) and I can’t even fathom how in love I am with them!!! Out of all my vendors I rounded up, joy photo and video had me the most excited!! Perfect video to show our kids when we have them :)

I really cannot say enough good things about Kim and how our wedding photos turned out!! My (now) husband and I loved having Kim be part of our special day. She was such a joy to work with and was so happy to try and accommodate our requests. She made us feel very comfortable in front of the camera and captured everything we were looking for. Honestly the raw photos before they got edited we're beautiful enough to use and I think that just shows how talented she really is!! If we were still living in Ohio, she would certainly become our family's photographer! Even several of our family and friends commented on how wonderful she was to work with. I also love the way Joy Photography edited our photos. We couldn't be happier with the final result!!!

We absolutely loved working with joy photo. I was hesitant at first not being able to pick my photographer, however they match us with James and I couldn't have picked a better one if I tried! He was so kind and patient and listened to exactly what we wanted and followed our shot list to a T! Everyone I spoke to at joy photo was delightful and they kept in constant contact with me throughout the process!

It was literally a joy to work with Joy Photography. From the planning to the actual day of the wedding, it was clear they cared about making sure we got everything the way we wanted. Kelli (the photographer) was very helpful and amazing (went above and beyond). Shout out to the rest of the team as well that made the process smooth and enjoyable: Marc Antony, Josh, and Jordan. We're going through the photos now and looking forward to getting the final photos and videos. Amazing work all around.

We recently used this vendor in Detroit. The "kids" they sent to do our photos were polite, but did a horrible job. I am so disappointed with my photos. The few edited ones I got are so bad I can only imagine what the rest of the photos look like that were not edited. Don't waste your money use a different r company

Three days before my wedding Adrian reached out to schedule a time to chat to talk about the details of my big day. He was extremely pleasant and professional on phone.
On the day of Adrian arrived on time and got right to work, capturing moments with my bridal party and the makeup artist. As the day went on Adrian made sure to capture the “must have shots.” At one point in the evening I forgot about the family photos and Adrian reminded me and I was so glad that he did! I would’ve been devastated if they weren’t pictured in the wedding album.
Adrian was amazing! It was an absolute pleasure working with him! I am so happy that he captured my special day.

I first heard of Joy Photography when they did the headshots for my realtor job, so I decided to use them for my simple barn wedding with close friends and family. I was so happy with how everything turned out. They were super prompt, showed up right on time, and really took the time to talk to me and my husband beforehand. It meant a lot that the photographer made the effort to get to know what we wanted to make the day feel special. My husband and I already had kids and never did the whole wedding thing before, so it was really nice to finally have it commemorated in such a beautiful way. The photos were perfect. It was nice.
