My goal is to encourage and empower couples to be intentional with their special day by creating a unique and personalized adventure.  I believe that being intentional about your wedding means embracing your identity as a couple - your values, your passions, your personalities, and what brought you together - and showcasing those elements throughout your wedding day.

I'm Joyce!

Hello,

I aim to deliver a collection of photographs that will serve as a beautiful and everlasting tribute to your love story.

By capturing your authentic selves and highlighting the essence of your relationship,

When I’m not taking photos, you can find me hanging out at boba or coffee shops, road tripping with friends, or thrifting! I also love anything outdoorsy and adventuring in nature, whether it be hiking, kayaking, or just sitting and admiring the beauty of it all! Rom-coms are my favorite kind of show, which makes sense because my favorite type of session to photograph is anything to do with love stories - couples, weddings, and elopements!

All started in the sixth grade, when my dad handed me down his camera and signed me up for a photography class. I loved it so much, I started bringing my camera everywhere - whether I was just studying with friends at a boba shop, celebrating a birthday, or going on a walk. Ten years later, I’m still in love with this passion of mine!

Experience

Ari is an exceptional cinematographer, dedicated to creating a stunning cinematic experience that captures the beauty of your special day. With a Bachelor’s degree in Cinematography from one of America's top film schools, he has been shooting for eight years and is constantly seeking out new opportunities to expand his skills and portfolio. Not only is he an incredibly talented professional, but he is also one of my dearest friends, having been among the first individuals I met in the creative community.

Allow me to introduce you to Jan, my highly experienced videographer. Originally from Hong Kong, Jan boasts over 15 years of experience in wedding videography. He was even sent to Japan for several months to capture the beauty of weddings and engagements amidst the lovely sakura blossoms. Jan has a remarkable talent for putting his clients at ease, providing clear and easy-to-follow prompts that help them relax and feel at home. By doing so, he encourages couples to truly connect with one another and immerse themselves in the emotions of the day, ultimately allowing them to fully enjoy their special moment. 

Chris is a highly skilled second shooter with a passion for capturing life as it happens. With a focus on documentary-style photography, he expertly catches those intimate moments that often go unnoticed: from the tears of joy shed by guests, to the playful interactions between Uncle Tom and little Charlotte, to those stolen kisses between you and your honey. He has a keen eye for artistic opportunities, adding his own creative flair to ensure that your photos are truly one-of-a-kind. Chris loves portrait and graduation photography and enjoys going to concerts in his spare time.
