Fantastic Experience

Joy is an absolutely amazing photographer. She was the first and last photographer I met with for my wedding. I had no doubt in my mind she was perfect not only for our photos, but perfect for me as well. It was very important that I have a photographer I could connect with. We had an amazing and fun time with her and her assistants during our engagement session and especially at our wedding. Everything went smoothly and we didn't have to worry about a thing. She is very professional with her shoots and makes you feel like you've known her for years - she jumps right in with you, your family and your friends. The pictures turned out awesome and we all had a fabulous time. - Joy you were a treat to work with and were by far the best money we spent on our entire wedding. Thanx soooo much!

P.S. Get the guest book - worth every penny - spectacular, guests will love it!!

All of the ladies that have booked me as their wedding photographer for 2009 and 2010, March 7th is your day! As promised, I am having a day to thank all of you for your business. The event will be held at my studio from 1-4. There are several vendors that are kindly donating their time and services for the event. Don't worry, none of them are going to try to sell you anything! The brides will also receive a gift bag filled with gifts from several different vendors. It is VERY important that you RSVP no later than February 16th. You are more than welcome to invite your bridesmaids and mom. Please get a head count so we have enough food and beverages. The invitations will be sent out shortly. I am waiting to hear back from a few vendors. The invitation will have more detail as to what wil be going on and which vendors will be offering what.

For those of you who haven't booked me as your wedding photographer yet, it's not too late! As long as you book before the event, you are more than welcome to come and be pampered as well!

I hope to see all of you there! I am looking forward to getting to know all of you better so on your wedding day I know your personality better.

Your photographer and friend,

Joy
