Joy and Robert are the dream team of photographer + videographer - they are SO FUN to work with and they did a great job making the whole process feel so easy! Several of our guest...
s commented on how great of a job they were doing documenting everything and thinking about details I would have missed. They are well worth every penny and I would recommend them to anyone who is looking for the best!
Joy, Robert, and her team were just AMAZING! That’s just the start! Me and my husband booked them 2 years out and we live in Florida. She made the whole planning process easy from ...
long distance and was very responsive to text and emails. The day of the wedding we felt like we knew them for years and very comfortable! Let me just add they were A BLAST to hang with and made taking photos fun. I had so many guest comment on how fun they were dancing with the crowd to get some of the best pics and videos I’ve ever seen! I am SO IN LOVE with our sneak peak photos! We got them back in less than a week! If you need a photographer and videographer look no further! They were awesome and put me and my hubby at ease and are such a good team! Thank you all so much for all you did to document our wedding, your hard work (and lots of sweat) are appreciated more than you know! #AflanaganFourth will be one to remember! Can’t say enough how much we loved joy and her team!
Joy photography was a nightmare to deal with. During the height of the Covid crisis in the dfw area we had to reschedule our wedding due to local government preventing wedding from...
being held and our venue was forced to be closed during our date. So we were forced to reschedule and we got our new date that worked for us with the venue and the other vendors however the new date didn’t work for Joy, so we were generous and said don’t worry about refunding the deposit just keep it because we imagine you have had a lot of cancellations/reschedules and she waited to see if our credit card would be charged for the full payment. However after the lack of communication from Joy (not responding for several days) we froze the credit card that way it wouldn’t be charged. Then she tried to come back and tell us that we should move our wedding to a date that worked for her or pay her the remaining balance of the her fees. And we politely mentioned to her that at no fault of our own that we were FORCED to reschedule our wedding and the new date was all that would work for all of the vendors and venue. She demanded yet again that we pay the full amount. And the only reason we got her to understand that we were not going to pay the full amount was because we pointed to her contract (that had unfair contract language that would never stand up in court) and she came back and never apologized or sympathized just simply said I cannot force you to pay.. Joy was very unprofessional she tried to be underhanded and take advantage of us as her customer. I would strongly discourage anyone from signing any contract with Joy because she has unfair contract language and puts you at a disadvantage as a customer.
I just spent the last few hours staring at my sneak peak photos. I can’t stop looking at them because they are so amazing. Joy and her team captured so much emotion from our day an...
d I am so thankful that we chose them for our photography. We booked for our engagement, wedding photography, and videography and I plan to continue capturing life events with the Nevilles. Joy makes you feel like you have known each other your whole life and there is never a dull moment.
Joy Neville and her team went far above and BEYOND with mine and my husband's expectation for engagement photos and wedding photos/videography! We will without a doubt be using her...
services for events in the future!
To say that Joy is a delight to work with (she will keep you rolling in laughter and very comfortable during shoots) and one of the most creative people I have personally worked with is and understatement! From our initial interview to hire a photographer/videographer Joy blew us away with her personality and communication. Then she showed us her work. Her work is stunning and she listens to what you want to capture and delivers beyond expectation.
Throughout wedding day/evening and the "getting ready" period, Joy and her team moved and navigated around both the Groom and Bridal parties in addition to our guests like little ninjas :) capturing such special moments that we can carry with us forever.
We would 1000% recommend Joy and her team for your big day!!
Joy and your incredible team, Thank you for EVERYTHING!
Audrey & Derek
Joy is magic. She has this incredible ability to make you relax completely so that she can catch you in your element. Our engagement photos are some of the most natural, beautiful ...
images I've ever seen. I got so many compliments from people who said that she really captured us and our relationship. She isn't just a photographer, she's a gifted artist!!
Joy Neville's photography is out of this world. She did our engagement and wedding photos. Choosing Joy to capture our wedding was the best decision we made.
We were so nervous...
the first time we had pictures taken for our engagement pictures. Joy made us feel relaxed and we laughed the whole time. We walked away from our engagement pictures like it was one of the best dates we had ever been on. I knew then that we had made the right decision.
We had joy for 11 hours on our wedding day. From the moment she walked in, she captured the day so naturally. We never felt rushed and family photos were done in under 15 minutes--something I was worried about! She kept us all calm and even calmed my mother by helping her bustle my dress!! EVERYONE (friends, family, people I hardly know) have commented on how beautiful our wedding photos are! Everyone at the wedding also commented how awesome and down to earth she was! The emotions she captured are breathtaking and bring tears to my eyes every time I look through them. I will cherish these photos for the rest of my life. One thing is for sure--Joy will be taking our photos for years to come! I would recommend her in a heart beat to anyone looking for a photographer in the DFW area!
Joy- Thank you for sharing your amazing talent and capturing every moment of our wedding.
I couldn't imagine a more genuine and talented person to capture our day. Even a year later her pictures cause so many emotions to come flooding back! I'm so very thankful for Joy ...
and her God given talent. <3
Joy is laid back and fun loving! My wedding day was a bit chaotic, but Joy made that melt away! She makes "posing" for photos feel more natural and is so encouraging! We used her f...
or engagement shots and our wedding day! They even snuck in a few bridal portraits on the wedding day since we didn't have separate bridals! She is worth every penny!
I couldn't have imagined my wedding with another photographer or videographer. Joy is the absolute best there is- she doesn't take a bad picture!! From the moment we met with her, ...
I knew she was perfect! Her personality made our engagement pictures super relaxed and made us feel so comfortable being in front of the camera. She makes you feel comfortable and that is one reason her pictures come out so great! She is extremely fun and knows how to have a good time to get you in the right mind set for pictures! She is so experienced and knows exactly what she is going to do, so pictures are a breeze and they're so quick! On the wedding day, it was almost 100 degrees at our outdoor venue, so you can assume how excited everyone was to get inside and cool off. Joy made all of the pictures after the ceremony so quick and easy and it allowed everyone to head to the reception to cool off. I am completely obsessed with all of my pictures from our engagement shoot, my bridal portraits and from the wedding!! She is amazing and I will use her to do my maternity pictures and family pictures when that time comes!! :)
My husband and I were so excited that we found Joy and Robert! They are an amazing team, and they take beautiful pictures. Joy shot our engagement pictures in Georgia, my bridals, ...
and our wedding and reception. We had so many pictures to choose from, and they were all great! I will definitely be calling Joy for any pictures I will need done in the future. I highly recommend Joy Neville Photography for everyone!
Joy is great. I don't like to have my picture made and the whole eyes on me thing makes me nervous, but Joy is different. She made the whole engagement pics and wedding pics fun an...

Thank you Joy!
We searched for a long time on which Photographer to use for our wedding and finally found Joy! As soon as we met with her, we knew she was the one for us!

We were very very very happy with joy and definitely going to use her for our baby/pregnancy pictures!
I was so pleased with Joy as my wedding photographer! She understood my vision and captured such special moments on our big day. I trust Joy's work so much that we opted to only ha...
ve a photographer and not a videographer because we knew she would do an exceptional job. She is very artistic and made our pictures look natural and 'in the moment'. She is also a good director during the photos with family and bridal party- much needed with large groups during a hectic wedding! Thanks for your beautiful work, Joy!
Choosing a photographer was a huge decision for us and therefore we were incredibly decerning when making our final decision. We wanted a true professional, an artist who was passi...
onate about their work and dedicated to capturing all of our special moments that would ultimately tell the story of our marriage. We wanted our photos, and our story, to accurately reflect who we are as a couple and our celebration of the love we share for each other, our family, and our friends. Joy was everything we wanted and more.
Joy was just amazing. Not only did she give us hundreds of gorgeous pictures, she was great to work with. She made time to get to know my husband and I which help catch all those s...
pecial moments she knew we wanted. She was relaxed and made you feel comfortable. Not only did I get great wedding pictures of myself, husband and wedding party but I got tons of great pictures of all of the guest that attended. I would use Joy again, hands down.
I have had experience with Joy's photography for a couple of years: family shoot, engagement session, and now wedding. There is no one I trust more than Joy to be professional, cap...
ture the moments that matter most, make us laugh, enjoy what she is doing, and edit the photos beautifully. I have lived in various states, experienced photography of all styles, but choosing Joy for my wedding was a no brainer. She loves what she does and makes you feel comfortable the entire time. She works with each persons unique personality and knows how to get the best out of you for the photos. I couldn't be happier with my wedding photographs, every single one is beautiful and captured every detail I worked hard to put into my wedding day.I cannot wait to do more shoots with Joy in the future, and I would recommend her to anyone who wants an excellent photographer to capture their special day!
I interviewed many photographers and let me say Joy won us over the moment we met. Not only was she an absolute dream her work speaks for itself. Many of our guests mentioned how...
much they enjoyed her and felt like she was part of the family which she is now because we plan to use her for all of our special memories.
My husband and I chose Joy to be our wedding photographer at the recommendation of our wedding planner. I met with three different photographers, but as soon as I met Joy, I knew t...
hat she was the perfect person for the job. She's easy-going, she knows what she's doing, and she's quite literally a joy to be around. We visited my in-laws for Christmas two months after the wedding, and even then, they raved about our photographer. She makes the very awkward experience of posing for photographs much more comfortable than normal. She got out on the dance floor with our guests and completely fit in. And to top it all off, the photographs were absolutely fantastic. I can't recommend Joy enough. She'll be my choice for any baby and family photos in the future.
Joy made it easy to relax and enjoy such a special time in our lives. We had both our engagement and wedding day photos taken and we love them! Joy was professional, talented, pas...
sionate and accommodating. Having memories on our wall that are so beautiful is invaluable to me and my husband, and I know we can look back a year, 10 years, 50 years and see these moments as stepping stones along the way of a beautiful life together. Thank you to Joy for such fun, sweet memories we are sure to enjoy for years to come!
I've always gotten uncomfortable when taking photos. I get anxious, nervous, worry about my hair... you name it! But Joy was so sweet, fun, and makes you feel so at ease. She help...
ed me enjoy the process and is an incredibly talented photographer. I'll be using her any time I need a photographer in the future!
My husband, Dave, and I thoroughly enjoyed having Joy Neville as our wedding photographer. In addition to the wedding, she took our engagements and my bridals, and everything was ...
fantastic. We were worried about the cost, but once we saw how beautiful everything was, we were very happy we had chosen her and her team. Joy is excellent at making people feel comfortable while having their picture taken- which is not always an easy task! She is the kind of person you instantly wish was your best friend. We highly recommend her for your wedding. She was very positive and absolutely professional about each aspect of the wedding process- from engagements to the album!
Mark and I got married on 9/7/12 in Punta Cana. As part of our destination wedding we had a wedding package that included a photographer, BUT I insisted on Joy. I knew there was no...
one else in the world that I wanted to photograph our special day. I've been a fan of Joy's work for years and I finally got engaged so I could be apart of all her ridicilous talent. My wedding photography jouney consisted of boudoir, engagement, bridal portraits, wedding ceremony and wedding reception. As I said before Joy is ridiculously talented with her gift. God has given her this gift and she has made so many people HAPPY!!!
On our wedding day, she was there at every special moment making me feel relaxed and natural in front of the camera. She put me at ease and was wonderful to work with. I couldn't have done it without her. I didn't have any bridemaids at my wedding and she stepped in and did double duty, not only was she the photographer but she did all the maid of honor duties too. All my photos are breathtaking, natural and flawless. Joy knows how to bring out the beauty in every moment. Joy is the BEST you will find. I look at all my photos and thank God for her daily.
I'm a client for life. I can guarantee you I will book a family photo shoot at least once a year if not more.
I love her to the moon and back again!!!!
Joy is everything you want in a wedding photographer! She traveled with us to our destination wedding in the mountains and was such a joy to have around. She is fun, energetic and ...

I truly cannot say enough good about Joy Neville Photography!! From the first time I met Joy for a consultation I knew that she was the photographer for me! She made everything so ...
personal and took a sincere interest in my big day! Our engagement session was a BLAST! Not only did she take FANTASTIC pictures, she made the experience one to remember! She has a way of making her clients feel so comfortable behind the camera, all the while bringing out the love you have for one another! Joy arrived before anyone else on my wedding day...even me! I was so impressed by her eagerness to capture every little detail! From beginning to end, I could not have been happier. Not only is Joy and amazing photographer, she is an amazing person. I will cherish the photos she took for a lifetime! I recommend Joy to every bride!
