I remember meeting Joy for the first time the summer of 2009. She and my sister had both been accepted into Eastern University’s Honor Program and would be roommates. Little did I know that this sweet missionary kid would change the course of my sister’s life and in that, change mine as well. Joy is the kind of person who thinks deeply and constantly pushes people toward a more wholehearted understanding of love and faith and friendship. I saw this first hand in her friendship with my sister and I have loved watching the two of them walk through seasons of life that were full of decisions and change and growing up because they brought out the best in each other and challenged what they saw as areas of growth. I see that same spirit in her relationship with Francesco. They both push each other, lean on each other and ever evolve their relationship to be one that isn’t “what it’s supposed to be” but one that allows them to be their whole selves with each other. And photographing that kind of love? Best thing ever ya’ll.

Joy’s wedding day style was one of my favorite’s to date. I am obsessed with her giant, garden style bouquet by the one and only Bloomsbury Floral Design and her stunning lace dress with cape train by Maggie Sottero. That style train is my new favorite trend and she looked so glamorous and regal! Elegance Artistry helped make her hair and makeup look timeless as well as making a few of her favorite girls look stunning as well! Francesco was so handsome too and their little fur baby Daisy was even apart of their day! Just wait till you see the portraits of the three of them!!! Joseph Ambler Inn is my favorite Bucks County venue and it didn’t disappoint! From their sweet ceremony on the lawn, to the ballroom reception filled with so much joy and dancing, it really was the perfect day celebrating a beautiful, wonderful couple!

Joy, thank you for who you are in my sister’s life. Thank you for allowing me the honor and privileged of photographing such a joy filled day, but more so for allowing me into your lives far beyond your wedding. You are such a sweet soul and I adore you and Francesco so much and wish you both a life time filled with the kind of happiness and love you bring to so many people. Enjoy a few of my favorites!

A special thank you to…
