De Joy Photography

5.0

Santa Cruz, CA
  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $5,800

When I photograph your special day, I not only tell your story, but also document the love and emotions so that you can remember how it felt that day. I believe a photo should enable emotions even for those who couldn’t be there to experience it themselves, and that the style and quality are without match. I will showcase your lifestyle and love. My editing style is colorful, timeless, beautiful, and flattering. I want your heart to swell every time you go through your photos! I am so excited to capture your love in a bold way.

I have had the pleasure to work with Amber on several weddings and events. She is not only easy to work with but is very communicative and exceeds expectations. As a wedding venue/coordinator, there are times where a photographer will take over and slow things down from a timeline standpoint, but not Amber! She gets the "money shots" quickly and gets you back to your wedding to celebrate :) Oh JOY for De Joy Photography!

Hi there! You’re probably here because you’re engaged (pop the champagne!) or you're looking for someone to capture timeless lifestyle portraits that you'll want to cherish forever & always. I believe having a photographer that’s fun (wait, hold my beer!) and makes the wedding day feel relaxed & stress-free is numero uno. I am the one who fluffs your dress, the one crying behind the camera while you exchange your vows, & the one saying “yasssss!” a little too often. I’ll make sure you two & your family look flawless and do whatever it takes to get your candid moments.

I'm a photographer with a background in photojournalism, but I love a good dance party, being in the presence of people in love, the smell of a brand new baby, and crazy families (especially my own) far too much, so I became what I was meant to be; a wedding and portrait photographer.

I can not begin to describe how amazing these girls are! I had my wedding back in August and it was absolutely perfect! Looking back at my pictures throughout the day, I could not have asked for a better team by my side! Sarah & Amber absolutely killed the photos and are two of the biggest hype women I have ever met! Throughout the entire day they were constantly there singing praises and doing anything to get genuine smiles. Andrea was the one I talked to throughout this whole process and she is absolutely amazing! She was very kind and patient with me throughout the process (I can be indecisive and really didn't fully know my editing style) and she made it work and went above and beyond with editing! All three ladies are absolutely amazing and if you need a wedding photographer/videographer - look no further!! These ladies DO NOT disappoint!

I have been a photographer for 8 years. Throughout my time as a photographer I’ve captured clothing, models, and memories. I shifted from corporate shootings to families and weddings because it gave me this warm fuzzy feeling when I edited my couples and families photos. Don’t be afraid to reach out to me and ask about my photography style, my editing style, or my favorite restaurant! I highly recommend scheduling a free consulting session!

Grace is an amazing photographer! If I could give her 10 stars I absolutely would. She was amazing working with both of our crazy families and from the very beginning I knew that she’d do a great job capturing the special moments of our special day. She worked with everyone and did a great job explaining what everyone needed to do to get a perfect shot. She also was absolutely wonderful with our 2 year old son who would’ve climbed in the car and went home with her if he could. If I could do it all over again I would definitely always pick Grace to shoot our wedding! She was an amazing addition to the day and we are so thankful that we found her.

  • Starts at $4,750
  • Serves Aptos, CA

Welcome. Since 2011, Lerina has been photographing weddings of all shape and sizes. She has traveled throughout the country and abroad documenting love stories and the events that surround the most magical day in a couple's life. Today she calls both the desert and the coast home but feels comfortable anywhere a camera is slung around her neck, shooting on her medium of choice – film. Her work has been published and featured by Condé Nast Traveler, SELF Magazine, Green Wedding Shoes, Wedding Chicks, more.

Lerina was amazing. Her photography speaks for itself. She captures the natural beauty of film without the tacky editing that has become so common. She perfected this timeless look on film and digital. What really impressed me was how she hit every single photo request and was both firm in her direction but also kind. She is a true production manager as well as an incredible photographer. We're lucky to have found her.

My aim is to tell the story of your love and laughter through images that are timeless and intentional. I believe in storytelling through details, emotional portraits, and finding those quiet moments in the midst of celebration. I love capturing real moments that help my couples remember how they felt on their wedding day, through the lens of my own airy and dreamy style.

Awarded Best of Zola
Cassie and her team understood the assignment to a tee. We had described an album that contained a lot of candids so that we could look back and review the photos and remember the environment that was our wedding. She sat back, gave very little direction, and as a result captured everything as it was. We are so happy with the photos. There is no other photographer I would recommend.

From start to finish, our experience with Cassidy was nothing short of outstanding, and we can't recommend her enough!

Her warm and friendly demeanor made us feel comfortable and at ease throughout the shoot, allowing us to relax and genuinely enjoy the experience. One aspect that truly impressed us was Cassidy's dedication to researching and scouting locations beforehand. She went above and beyond to find hidden gems and picturesque spots in Ouray that we never would have discovered on our own. This attention to detail and meticulous planning added an extra layer of uniqueness and authenticity to our photos, as we were able to capture the true essence of the area while highlighting our love for each other and our adorable dog Samuel.

Awarded Best of Zola
I had been following Jasmine on IG long before I knew I was going to be married. Her photos always really spoke to me and I told myself that if I ever got the chance to book her, I would. In 2019, my (now) husband and I got engaged and immediately I knew I had to contact Jasmine, of course I had to show my husband other photographers too (he is the type that needs to see a few options and prices first) but he also felt that Jasmine was the best! So we went ahead and booked Jasmine for our wedding in October 2020. Fast forward to 2020. The year the pandemic hit the world. We knew in April of 2020 that our wedding would have to be moved, there was no way the pandemic was going to be over. We contacted Jasmine and she was immediately responsive, empathetic and agreed to accommodate our change in wedding date, October 2021 an entire year after our original date. Throughout the time we booked Jasmine to the time of our wedding, Jasmine constantly checked in on us and double checked to make sure we were doing ok with everything going on. She helped nudge/remind us to book our pre-wedding/engagement photos (because I kept forgetting/timing was not working for us), and even reminding us on where we should be in wedding planning. Side note: When we DID finally take our pre wedding photos with Jasmine, I was incredibly nervous on how I would look in photos. I am going to be the first to admit that I am NOT photogenic and am already incredibly awkward in photos. When Jasmine sent us our photos after, I was SO BLOWN AWAY! I knew then, we absolutely made the right decision in booking her. Ok back to our actual wedding! Jasmine helped us with our timeline for the day, and we were able to correlate hers and our wedding venues together. On the actual day, Jasmine made not just myself and husband feel super comfortable in front of the camera, but all our family members and bridal party too. She has an incredible eye for detail and will help with posing/styling etc. We absolutely LOVE our wedding photos and we honestly could not have booked a better photographer. To sum up: Jasmine is thoughtful with the way she approaches everything and is an incredibly talented photographer. Jasmine's style is classic and timeless. I know we will be looking and loving all our photos over and over again. I would book Jasmine again in a heartbeat, and will recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer.

Paulina is an amazing photographer - we hired her for engagement and wedding photography! She is so pleasant to work with and is super friendly, which really helps to make us and our guests feel comfortable on the other side of the lens! This translates really well into the photos, as she is able to capture everyone naturally! On the day of our wedding, she was a great orchestrator as she gathered our guests and went through our group portraits efficiently and with the best light. Not only that, but as we (and some of our guests) are not sure how to pose, she was able to provide cues to make sure we were captured at our best angles!! She also made my husband and I feel extremely special, and made sure to make this day stress-free for us!!! She also processes her photos very quickly without any loss of quality - we received our sneak peeks the day after our wedding, our full wedding photos 1.5 months after our wedding, and our engagement photos 1 week after the shoot. I am absolutely in love with our photos (she made us look amazing!!), and we plan to print these to display over our home. Highly recommend hiring her for any of your photography needs!!!

Hi, I'm Jimmy! I am originally from Southern California and have grown my busines service area to Utah and Internationally over the last 15 years. I am a people person, and enjoy working closely with couples, and capturing the essence of who they are. When it comes to photographing a couple, I look past the outward appearance for the love and emotion that drives them. The personalities that are distinct to each couple make every session new and unique. I strive to create a fun and spontaneous atmosphere and a collection of images that convey each moment, and every detail in an artistic and truthful manner.

I would shout from the roof tops the talent of Jimmy of Gideon Photography! His work is crisp, clean and beautifully captured! As a professional wedding planner I have had the privilege of working with Jimmy for over 15 years and his work is spot on every time, delivered in a timely manner and our clients are always thrilled with his stunning photos!

The greek myth from which the phrase “halcyon days” is derived, is one of great love ending in a time of joy and calm. A euphoric recollection of the past and an optimistic reverence for the future. Echo denotes a feeling of resonance and return. Because our memories and dreams are almost never linear-they are organic-abstracted from reality and, often, largely defined by touch, scent and, of course, sight. My hope is to create imagery that will reflect the deepest of fully felt emotion from this day, back to you. Working with analog & digital processes from Denver, Colorado.

My husband and I had an amazing experience with Karly! She was more than helpful when it came to all of our photography needs. She worked with our crazy schedule while running around Yosemite National Park. She delivered when it came to final edits. Make sure you get the extra final edits, trust me you will want all of them! Thank you a million times for making our special day the MOST special!

Animus-Art photography consists of two amazing humans, Pedro & B, who are even more perfect when they come together. Working with them on our engagement and wedding was nothing short of a fun adventure. My husband and I are not exactly naturals on camera, but you wouldn’t know that by looking at the images they captured. Pedro & B are fun, creative, passionate, hard-working and incredibly talented!! They go above and beyond to get the perfect shot! Their work is exceptional and speaks for itself. I couldn’t imagine the images being any more perfect. But aside from that, Pedro & B offer something truly special with their personalities and work ethic. They weren’t just our photographers- especially on the wedding day- they took on so many roles. They were like the best friend who never left our sight. While we were getting ready, Pedro spent much of the time with my husband and the boys, and B stayed with me and the girls. B was my superwoman on my wedding day. She wasn’t just one of my photographers - she was my maid of honor, my friend, my event coordinator, my personal assistant, my therapist. She just seemed to be there every second of the day, willing and ready to help out in every way. All this, while she snapped hundreds of beautiful, creative photos. Pedro is the kind of photographer who listens while you describe your ideal look to your hair dresser so that he can make sure it stays that way all night. And as he prompts you to fix your hair 3 hours into your reception, you smile with pride because you know you hired the best photographers in the world. The level of attention they pay to detail is unreal! They anticipate your needs before you even know about them. They capture real moments in a beautiful way. They know how to take photos while letting you be yourself- no constant stopping and prompting. In my opinion, those make for the best shots. They have so much fun doing what they do, it’s infectious. I am so so happy that they were our wedding photographers and hope to have them capture other important events in our future. Absolutely THE BEST!!!

I am a creative and passionate Elopement and Wedding Photographer who captures the moments you will look back on for a lifetime. Those raw, authentic, candid, just as they happened moments. These are the memories you will cherish and pass down through your family, to your children, and grandchildren. The memories you will print and hang up on your walls turning your house into a home. The moments you cannot re-live, but you can re-visit with each photograph. These are the cherished memories and moments I capture for you, and your loved ones.

Candance was extremely professional throughout the entire process of hiring her for our day. I was extremely stressed out and she offered help with the location and was extremely knowledgeable when it came to when we should plan around. We always knew we wanted a small intimate moment just for us, and she made it a moment that was uninterrupted, but that we could share with those who were not there. She helped with location, and timing, and knew everything to do with when the weather-wise would work best for what we wanted. She listened to us and was extremely friendly. The session was fun, and she guided us through everything in a way that didn't make us feel like we were in a photo shoot but a fun moment of our lives that we will cherish forever. The memories we have on film will last forever and cannot thank her enough for capturing these moments for us. If you are looking for a photographer who will listen to you, treat you with respect and make your day magical, don't even look at other photographers, Candance is exceptional at what she does and will make your day perfect.

I can tell you how I started shooting photos since I was a young wee lad, but that's what everyone else says and also it's not true. I didn't even pick up a camera until I was in high school. I'm the type of person who ignores convention and does it differently, my own way. Seldom the "right" way, but always the "Wong" way. My passion for creativity and my adeptness of the tech and the technical is what allows me to weave my craft and to produce art for my couples.

When my now husband and I were looking for a photographer, we made a tier list. After lots of weeding out of mediocre photographers, we narrowed our selections down to two. We resolved to contact the last two to see which one we wanted to go with. From the minute I first met Avery on zoom, I knew that I wanted to work with him. Not only are his photos phenomenal and extremely cinematic, they are somehow able to tell a story in the photo. I felt moved looking at some of his albums and I wondered how he was able to do that. When we actually got to working with him on our wedding day, I understood his process: He actually knows how to pose a model and gives clear instructions on where to put your hand, when to tilt head down, where to look, etc. This is what I was specifically looking for, as I've had some photographers who were just 'okay' that snapped away but gave no direction as to what to do. I think this is the mark of an excellent photographer and one who has clearly done many weddings. My butt looks great in all the photos. :) Also, I feel like I would qualify as a quirky bride, and he totally embraced that and took photos of my multiple plushies. That's a 100 in my book.

Born and raised in the Pacific Northwest, Anna spent nearly two decades training as a classical ballerina and photographing dance, often sneaking cameras backstage to shoot from the wings while still in costume. She was hooked on wedding photography instantly - the mosaic of emotion and energy that cascades across a wedding day felt like a natural extension of the magic she chased on stage as a dancer. Anna lives and works out of Seattle, though she’s lucky enough to follow her clients up and down the West Coast and occasionally across the globe.

I cannot give enough positive praise for Anna and her beautiful work. Her talent is incredible and is only surpassed by her true compassion for people. Both create a perfect scenario for stunning wedding photography, especially her film photography. She took the time to understand the vision for our wedding and the relationships most important to us so we could have photos that match our priorities. Anna also has a wonderful balance of professionalism and chillness. We were never stressed from photo to photo. She let us know what to expect and also found opportunities for magically unplanned moments. Her photos on our walls are memories we'll cherish for a lifetime.

I’ve always been the girl with the camera. In high school, my idea of a good time was planning photoshoots with my friends and editing our high school yearbook. But when I got to college, I felt like I needed to get a practical degree, so I chose the most creative business major I could find – marketing. Then I met Thomas. My photo hobby became something more because he recognized my passion and encouraged me to make it a reality. He’s been my second shooter since the very first wedding.

I've been putting off writing this review because I feel like no words can fully explain the amazing experience I had with the Ganeys. I first met Emily and Thomas when I was a bridesmaid in my friends' wedding in Florida, which the Ganeys were shooting! Based on that day and the resulting photos, I knew how talented this pair was and I REALLY wanted them for my own wedding. After getting engaged, I actually reached out to Emily before we even had a venue or date booked. Once they signed on to be our wedding photographers, my (already high) expectations were totally exceeded. I loved how organized, detailed-oriented, and responsive Emily was as we planned our engagement shoot and wedding day. At the engagement shoot, they did an amazing job including our 2 golden retrievers and shooting in sub-optimal weather conditions. Emily is so kind, thoughtful, and talented as a photographer, and Thomas is the secret ingredient that makes grooms everywhere feel at ease! This husband and wife team communicates so well and I believe that is part of the reason why they make their jobs look so effortless and fun on your wedding day and why the photos are so breathtaking. We can't wait to host Emily and Thomas at our house in a few weeks, and show off the way we've displayed their photos around the house!! I would be more than happy to share my full gallery and answer questions from any other brides/grooms considering the Ganeys.

I love romance and I want to reflect that in my images. Aside from posed editorial type images, my couples do a lot of interaction with each other, allowing me to produce images that reflect true joy, love and emotions. I married my husband twice, not because we were divorced but because our first wedding was at a courthouse, and on 1st year anniversary, we renewed our vows in front of 100s of our family and friends. We have 2 beautiful daughters that keep us on our toes. And when I am not photographing weddings, I work as a nurse in the emergency room.

Jessi's talent is absolutely incredible and unmatched. Not only does she have an eye for beauty and perfect lighting, but she captures images that are genuine and breathtaking. She is very professional, very personable, and very patient which is an amazing combination for a photographer. We can't wait to use her for our pregnancy photos and family photos for years to come.

Our wedding business started out with me shooting a wedding video for a very dear friend of mine in 2017. I posted the video to a Facebook business page and BOOM! It received 200,000 views and we started receiving hundreds of inquiries from couples around the PNW. Every year I would book 30-40 weddings doing photos and videos for couples. When COVID struck, we had a year crashing into the next year. We had to adapt. So I grew our company to 8 teams of pro photographers/videographers to cover weddings around the US. There is nothing better than capturing love on the biggest day ever. Every day we are thankful to be able to do this.

Your earth loving, sun chasing Oregon elopement photographer. My work is ever evolving but my intention is always the same: to capture the essence of who you are and create timeless photographs that will always take you back to your incredible day.

As two VERY busy people who get camera shy, my husband (eeek! Crazy I get to call him that!!) and I do not have many photos together that are worthy of framing, or even posting on socials for that matter. So going into this experience, I knew we needed someone that could make us feel comfy, capture who we actually are as a couple, and be able to organize all the behind the scenes aspects of our sessions. In walks Mia. Mia took care of quite literally every aspect of our sessions. We did an engagement and elopement session at Mt Ranier in November. She drove up several days BEFORE our scheduled shoot to scope out the area, take notes on open paths, gauge the sunrise and sunsets, prepare for the weather changes, etc etc. Literally all the things that we would never have thought of, she did. We had a Pinterest board of outfits and inspo, a packing list of items we most def did need, phone calls to get to know each other, a centralized location for anything related to our sessions, and most importantly: peace of mind. I cannot rant and rave about how flawless the process was leading up to our sessions with Mia. Then the day of, we could not have asked for a more intimate and perfect day. Mia was so sweet, boosting us as a couple but also stopping to fix my hair or helping us to get those perfect swoon-worthy shots with poses we wouldn't have thought to do. However, it truly felt like we were in our own little world and Mia was just a fly on the wall. I feel like the pictures truly encompass how we are as a couple, which is so rare and beautiful of a thing to capture. Just go to her website, all of her work speaks for itself. If you want to see our pictures, we are "Liz and Cameron". The moments she captured are being framed for our home and have been shared endlessly. They are absolutely timeless. We cannot wait to see Mia again to capture more of our lives together.

Luxury wedding photography in California and worldwide... You want your photos to be as unique as you are. You want photos that capture the intimacy and emotion of your day. I have spent the past decade developing my approach to wedding photography, learning how to be unobtrusive, when to take the lead, and when to take step back and anticipate the moment. The resulting experience is one that allows you to be in the moment. The resulting images are authentic, beautiful and timeless.

Awarded Best of Zola
We really loved working with Roberta. She made the photo process fun and easy which is no small task when you're trying to line up family members just hours before your wedding. We had a second photographer so ended up with many photo options including the moments of each party getting ready! She blended into the crowd during the ceremony and reception so we never felt like we had cameras on us and were able to relax and enjoy each moment. Looking through our wedding photos was such a cool experience. Her photos are so special and each one truly represents a special memory and place in time. Would not hesitate to reccomend Roberta.

Hi, I'm Katy! I've been a photographer and videographer for over 17 years and I love working with couples to create beautiful, artistic photos and films! My visual style tends to be soft with bright lighting, earthy/vibrant tones, a shallow depth of field (blurred backgrounds and foregrounds), and a mix of prompted and candid poses. My energy tends to be pretty calming, which can help people look and feel more natural in their photos and on video. I enjoy artistic collaboration and I love hearing your ideas and seeing your Pinterest inspiration boards!

We feel so very lucky to be able to rave about our wedding photos. (Who is lucky enough to be able to do that?!). Katy photographed our outdoor adventure wedding and was the perfect person for the job. She communicated clearly, showed up early, and went above and beyond. She fit in with our family and friends seamlessly and was able to capture little moments of magic throughout the day. And the photos......far far exceeded our wildest expectations! Everyone who has seen our photos are amazed at how brilliant they are. I cannot say enough great things about Katy. I highly recommend her for your special day if you are lucky enough to be able to book with her.

Her great eye, understanding of light, and authentic desire to document love by means of photography has given us beautiful, quality images that we’ll cherish for years to come. She was awesome to collaborate with, as she took the time to get to know us as a couple and understand what details were important to us to capture. She worked with our wedding planner to ensure things would flow smoothly, including being cognizant of sticking to our timeline throughout our wedding day. She is professional and pleasant to work with, as she has a calm and friendly yet nonobtrusive demeanor that makes taking pictures with her easy (and our guests agreed as well). Choosing the right photographer is such an important wedding decision since photos are one of the few ways that valued memories are preserved, and we are so appreciative that we had Leslie as ours.

I believe that perfectly planned photos are awesome, but so is the candid photo of your 90 year old grandmother drinking whiskey with your friends. Your photos are about you, not me. I won't tell you what to do or how to live your best day. What I will tell you is where the best light is, what to expect during your wedding and always get your "good side."

Bethany was awesome to work with. We just received our full wedding album back and it is stunning. We couldn't be happier! Throughout the whole process she was really easy and kind to work with. What we appreciated most (aside from the amazing pictures) is that she made us feel really comfortable and helped direct the process as needed, but in a direction that was exactly what we asked for. She deserves extra praise because we had a big mis-hap with another vendor and she helped us out big time trying to figure out what to do next. 10/10 we'd recommend Bethany!
