HELLO THERE, I'M JO!

What an exciting season you're in!

You're engaged! And while a wedding is a beautiful part of the journey, this season is about so much more than planning a celebration. You're creating a new family, blending two lives into one, and beginning a legacy that will last far beyond the wedding day itself.

What a joy it is to be engaged. But what a blessing it is to be married.

There will never be another season quite like this one. It's filled with anticipation, excitement, and moments you'll want to remember forever. As a New York wedding photographer and destination wedding photographer, I've had the privilege of documenting couples during some of life's most meaningful celebrations. From iconic New York City weddings to unforgettable destination weddings around the world.

My role is simple: to preserve this chapter as it unfolds. The quiet moments, the joyful celebrations, and everything in between. So that long after the vows are exchanged and this season has passed, you'll be able to relive not only how it looked, but exactly how it felt.

We asked JoAnna to re-shoot our engagement photos after our previous photographer did not deliver what we wanted. She understood our style and posing habits, and simply told us to show up to Central Park. ... During the session, she gave us clear but simple posing instruction every step of the way, which was extremely helpful in finding natural, candid shots. My first engagement shoot was extremely stressful, but our shoot with JoAnna was actually fun. She kept us updated on the edits process and had edited our photos while incorporating our concerns about skin tone differences, and had our finished album within 1-2 weeks time. This includes editing out all of the crowds of people during peak cherry blossom season from the background of each photo! We are looking forward to working with JoAnna again whenever we need a photoshoot, as her work and passion for capturing the special moments speak for themselves.

"I wish I could give JoAnna more than 5 stars, because her service and abilities far exceeded anything we could have imagined.."

- ALEX M

WHY FILM?

In a world where almost everything can be edited, enhanced, or recreated, film remains beautifully honest. Every frame is intentional, every image is unique, and every photograph reflects your wedding exactly as it was experienced. It's an approach that defines my work as a New York wedding photographer.

Wedding Photography FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about the experience, collections, film photography, destination coverage, and reserving your date.

Where are you based, and do you photograph destination weddings?

I am based in New York City and photograph weddings throughout the United States and worldwide. I also regularly work in Dallas and Fort Worth. Travel details are considered when I create your custom proposal.

How would you describe your photography style?

My work blends timeless, documentary-style storytelling with refined portraiture and an editorial eye. I preserve genuine emotion, thoughtful details, and the atmosphere of the celebration without making the day feel overly staged.

Do you photograph weddings on film and digital?

Yes. I use both film and digital intentionally throughout the day. Film brings an honest, tactile quality, while digital offers flexibility in changing light and fast-moving moments. Together, they create a cohesive gallery that feels natural and enduring.

What is the starting investment for wedding photography?

Wedding collections begin at $8,500. Your final proposal is shaped by the location, coverage needs, number of events, film photography, additional photographers, and any heirloom products you would like to include.

What can be included in a custom wedding collection?

Collections are tailored to each celebration and may include wedding-day coverage, a second photographer, film photography, engagement portraits, welcome party or rehearsal dinner coverage, destination travel, and a custom heirloom album.

Do you work alongside wedding planners and creative teams?

Yes. I collaborate closely with your planner and creative team. Before the wedding, I review the timeline and photography priorities so the day can be documented with intention while remaining calm and fluid.

How far in advance should we inquire?

It is best to inquire once your date and venue are confirmed. Reaching out early gives us the most flexibility for popular dates, wedding weekends, and destination celebrations.

How do we reserve our wedding date?

After an introductory conversation, I will create a custom proposal for your celebration. Your date is officially reserved when the agreement is signed and the required retainer is received.

Can we add an engagement session or heirloom album?

Yes. Engagement sessions and custom albums can be built into your collection. Both are designed to feel connected to the full wedding experience, from documenting this season before the wedding to preserving the finished story in print.

What is the next step?

Begin by completing my inquiry form with your date, location, and a few details about your celebration. My team and I respond to messages within 24 hours, Monday through Thursday, from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time.
