Also, I know she must post-edit her images, but it's nothing too over-the top, everything looks very natural. What you don't see in her portfolio is how it is to work with her. She is extremely warm yet professional. For my elopement not only was she able to recommend a wonderful officiant and florist- and picked up the flowers the morning of! she really went above and beyond for her sense of adventure. She was with us the entire action-packed day starting with a walk in the redwoods, a picknick at a winery and even went out on a kayak with us as we free-dove the kelp and explored some other features of the coast. What a great sport! I doubt many photographers would do that, on top of having great skills. I can't thank her enough for helping us our special day, and for capturing it all so well. I look back on our photos nearly daily to remember it.

We really loved the natural emotion she captured with a combination of posing guidance and movement. She is a wonderful person to chat and work with.

She was super accommodating, had a great recommendation for a makeup artist, and took some amazing photographs while she had us laughing it up. It was very relaxing. I thought I was unphotogenic.

The magic of the…read moreredwoods, the oceanside cliffs, and the beaches all lured us in, but we had no idea where to start. As we did research, we found Joyce. She was easy to communicate with, highly knowledgable of the area and had all the recommendations we could ask for to help us in choosing all sorts of things: officiants, florists, dining, things to do, etc. She even chatted with me when I was choosing my gown about how it may look in the photos depending on which one I went with. Ultimately, we shared photos of what we loved in Joyce's work, and handed her full creative freedom to lead us where felt right. She was careful to have us as we naturally were, she didn't pose us one time (which made me nervous during the shoot!). In the end, we couldn't be more grateful for the vision she brought to life. Our wedding day was captured so gorgeously; every shot is a love letter to our day -- luminous, timeless, majestic. Here are some quotes from friends who reached out after seeing the photos: "Congratulations! Wow, these pictures are amazing! You look like an ethereal princess" "The photos look like you're in a fairytale!" "Absolutely stunning." Thank you Joyce, for your dedication to your craft.

We were married in Mendocino in August 2025, with a small, intimate ceremony that included just my husband's kids. From the start, we wanted a photographer who could beautifully capture the casual, candid moments of our family walking to the bluffs and exploring the charming streets of the village -- and Joyce did exactly that. Her photos were everything we hoped for -- natural, artistic, and full of feeling. Many of our friends said the images looked like they came straight out of a magazine spread, and we completely agree. Looking through our gallery takes me right back to each special moment: a whisper in my husband's ear, laughter during our ceremony, and the joy of walking down Main Street toward the ocean cliffs where we said our vows. Working with Joyce was effortless. She made us feel comfortable, offered great direction, and understood what was most meaningful to us. She perfectly balanced our desire for wide, scenic shots with her recommendation for close-ups and traditional portraits, which we're now so grateful to have. The blend of sharp detail with softly blurred backgrounds gives every image a timeless quality. I would recommend Joyce wholeheartedly to any couple looking for a photographer who can capture not just how your day looked, but how it felt. We're already looking forward to working with her again for a future family photo session.
