Amazing person, breath taking photos, she captured exactly what we wanted. I cried when I saw them. The whole experience was perfect. If I were to take wedding photos ever again I would choose Joanna every time

Joanna Adams did a fantastic job with my daughter's wedding. She was knowledgeable, patient, professional, and went out of her way in terms of time and locations. She had us practice a wedding the day before in order to ascertain the best positions for both cameras and people. She understood the couple's wishes and knew good poses and locations in the area for post-wedding photos. Everyone was very pleased, and she had posted preliminary photos (with password) on her website soon afterwards. Excellent and very well worth the investment.

Joanna is a very fun and engaging person. I am a photographer also but really dislike being in front of the lens, but Joanna made my family and I feel very comfortable and we actually had a blast at our photo shoot! The images we received back were unique and beautiful. We did not hesitate to get a canvas for our wall and for each set of our parents. I highly recommend!!
