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.

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
We feel like the luckiest people in the world to have had Cassie and her team as part of our wedding day. Cassie is pure magic with her camera, capturing the most ethereal, timeless, serendipitous, and joyful photos. Her magic lies in her ability to tell the story of the day, and we are able to relive all of our emotions through the day through just her photos. All the anticipatory moments filled with butterflies and giddiness, to the surprise of first looks, the surreal feeling of walking down the aisle, and the collective celebration of getting married. Her craft is both built on her incredible expertise in capturing the momentous moments, and also her ability to make people feel so comfortable. Cassie is so genuine, friendly, professional, communicative, and incredibly comfortable to be around. She gave many gentle reminders to relax, remember we love these people, and lean in closer. You just smile a little bigger when you trust the person behind the camera, and that's exactly what working with Cassie felt like. Everyone in our wedding party commented on how surprised they were that the dedicated photo time felt fun and easy -- all thanks to Cassie and her team. Cassie gave us the wedding photos of our dreams, completely romanticizing our time in Golden Gate Park and Chinatown in San Francisco. We are so grateful for her creative drive, and we give our highest recommendation to anyone thinking about hiring Cassie!

Awarded Best of Zola
Jasmine is an amazing photographer , It's only appropriate she's my 800th review! Jasmine, christina and my wedding planner Justina are literally some of my favorite wedding vendors and would hire all three again in a heartbeat! I initially had been following jasmine for a while before I got engaged in 2018. A couple of my friends had previously used her for their weddings and engagement shoots and their photos looked so magical and pretty with all the natural lighting! When I started booking wedding vendors, jasmine was actually one of the first vendors I booked! She's super sweet and responsive to emails, never had an issue with anything! We had two engagement shoots with her during Covid and we also postponed our wedding an entire year, she was completely understanding and willing to work with us to retain her as a primary vendor! Even doing our engagement shoots we felt so at ease and we actually appreciated all the coaching she gave us on how to pose. We are complete noobs and have no clue how to pose. She's a god send and will give you tips on how to pose, how to do your first dip and everything in between! Also if she suggests places to take photos at a venue, trust her, those photos will be magic, we hiked up a vineyard hill and we got some amazing shots with the oak trees. We just got married and received some sneak peeks and so far we are in love with our wedding photos! We've been in love with our engagement photos so we only assumed that the wedding photos would be equally as great! If you are looking for a family shoot, engagement or even wedding photographer, jasmine is the perfect person! Also if you also book christina chen for hair and makeup, you have the best duo ever! If I ever do anymore family/ maternity shoots in the future, I will be booking both of them together!

Hi! My name is Steve. I do visual storytelling. I’m married with three kids and in my spare time I record music and build things. I've been filming and photographing weddings since 2009. I love travel and getting to know unique couples.

Awarded Best of Zola
Steve at Birchfields totally knocked it out of the park for us. We were on the fence about hiring a videographer, but realized we really wanted the ceremony and speeches captured professionally. We are so glad we found Birchfields. Steve was incredibly helpful from the start - answering all of our questions, giving us ideas, and helping us to come up with the right package to buy. He gave us time to think things through, and we never felt pressured or rushed. On the day of the wedding, he was so easy and fun to work with. He sent us a small film trailer of the wedding the day after, which was so awesome to have right away! We recently got back our full edited films, and they are better than we could have hoped - super well edited, amazing crisp quality, and they really honor the mood and feeling of the whole night. We are so happy to have worked with Steve, and would absolutely recommend him!

You always picture how your wedding will be. The amazing feeling you will have to see everything you envisioned come together into one beautiful day. How much fun you will have getting ready in the morning with your best friends, sisters, and momma’s. And the love in your Husbands eyes when he see’s his future wife walking down the aisle. You picture the beauty of the day both visually and emotionally, and how you will cherish those memories forever. Perhaps one of the most import jobs on your wedding day is given to who you entrust in capturing those moments. I met Natalie through work. I am a wedding coordinator, and I had reached out to her when I started working in the area. I was in awe over her talent, and straight away felt a connection to how she captured such pure and beautiful moments. I knew after meeting her that she would one day be my wedding photographer! Our wedding day was everything that I could of ever asked for. It was such a incredible day with so much love and beauty. Natalie absolutely blew my already very high expectations out of the water. She is so good at what she does. Natalie made taking all of our photos so much fun. She knew when to allow us to have space and be in the moment, and when to direct and take charge. You want to be able to get caught up in the moment on your wedding day and not have to be the one worrying about who to take photos with or what needs to be captured next. She did such a wonderful job at making sure we got all the shots we needed, but allowing us to enjoy and have fun with all of them. From standing on chairs, to driving up hills, to dancing with us on the dance floor Natalie did whatever it took to get the most raw and sincere footage of our most special day. My husband and I cry every time we look through our wedding album and that is a huge thanks to Natalie Schutt Photography.

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!!!

Tiffany and her team were AMAZING! From the moment we contacted her, Tiffany was professional, helpful and easy to talk to.

During our engagement session, we got to know Tiffany better and once we saw the photos she took, we knew we had made the right choice. We refined the timeline (a lot) and she was available for questions or concerns when I had them. We had the most amazing wedding day, thanks to Tiffany, Alyssa and Brittany. They helped us figure out the best places, and how, to pose and made my husband and I feel super comfortable the whole time. Tiffany captured shots in a way that takes me right back to that moment and I'll cherish them forever.

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 do not believe you will ever come across a negative review about Jimmy because legit he is so beyond wonderful at his job. We had Jimmy out to do our wedding right outside of Zion National Park. I was skeptical at first when he said I did not need a second photographer because legit everyone was pushing it with a wedding my size but he did not miss a thing. He was wonderful with communication before the day of, we had a scheduled phone call to discuss the details, and legit did not have to worry about a thing the day of my wedding. I am beyond obsessed with my photos, but like if you cruise his instagram, you will understand why! Totally worth the money and then some!

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.

Working with Karly and having her shoot my wedding was a wonderful experience! She was such a pleasure to work with and captured the most amazing candid photos of our special day.

It was my lucky day the day I met the Animus Art team at a bridal expo and won their free engagement photo shoot. When my (now) husband and I met with them over coffee (the way to their hearts, I found later) to talk about the shoot, I hadn't intended on choosing our wedding photographer then. We ended up loving their work so much...but more importantly, we fell in love with them as people. They have such a passion for what they do and for the people they work with, and it shows through in every conversation, every laugh, and every photo. My husband and I stayed after they left to discuss it, and we decided that day to choose them. We had lofty goals for our engagement shoot. We wanted to do a Pixar-inspired theme. I'm a perfectionist and had a vision of what I wanted. What we got was so much more. For our wedding photos...they captured moments I didn't know I needed. Some of my favorite shots are candid photos only their eyes would have seen. And once we found out we were pregnant, we immediately turned to them to not only help us capture the maternity and newborn moments, but the birth process as well. That's how close we've become with Pedro and Burcu...they were the only people we trusted to be in the room the moment our first child was born. The photographs are more than I could have hoped for, and looking at them brings tears to my eyes. They were able to capture so many emotions, and those photos are a gift I'll never be able to repay. I can't recommend them enough, and there aren't words for how much their dedication to those precious moments in our lives means to me. I can't imagine a special occasion without them...not only as photographers, but now as friends.

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.

When I'm shooting your wedding I want it to be so fun and relaxed that you are able to enjoy the process.

Brooke was extremely communicative and detailed oriented through the entire planning process.

The only thing better than making memories, is reliving them. I love photography for so many reasons but the opportunity to freeze a moment in time and cherish that memory forever is reason number one. One reason I love wedding photography specifically is how it incorporates all my photographic passions into one day! Landscapes, street photography, documentary, portrait, macro...I could keep going. I love photography and hope my passion for my work shines through in your final gallery.

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.

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.

I believe that dogs are the best travel buddies and that plants make the world better and prettier. 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."

Additionally, we received our photos (both engagement and wedding) on time based on our initial contract. We LOVE how our photos turned out and absolutely recommend you use Alyssa as your photographer!!
