valencia wedding by joy marie | kim + andy | tpc valencia golf club

Kim & Andy are two of those special people that you sometimes cross paths with in life who leave an indelible mark on your heart. They are both warm, kindhearted and madly in love with each other! Their wedding was an AMAZING day at the gorgeous TPC Valencia Golf Club. I knew after I connected with these two for their Seattle Engagement Session that their wedding day was going to be something special! And I wasn’t disappointed. Congratulations, Kim & Andy!

santa barbara wedding by joy marie…crystal + keith

I love it when two genuine, kind-hearted people find each other, and decide to spend their lives together. Not only are Crystal & Keith two of the kindest people I’ve ever met, but they have a circle of family & friends who share that same spirit. I knew this was going to be a great wedding after I met up with Crystal & Keith for their engagement session. Many of you know that I LOVE Santa Barbara weddings, and this one was no different! The day began with a beautiful ceremony at St. Raphael’s Catholic Church. I then had the opportunity to spend a little time with just Crystal & Keith. Santa Barbara has no shortage of great shooting spots, and we hit some of my faves! Their reception was held at the AMAZING Four Seasons Biltmore Santa Barbara. Thanks so much, Crystal & Keith, for a wonderful day and new friendships!

out of this world…los angeles engagement shoot by joy marie…karnis + alex

So, I just LOVE it when my clients come up with crazy, creative concepts for their engagement shoot. Karnis & Alex completely came up with concepts & sketched out everything from the locations down to the minutest details of their outfits for this rockin’ Los Angeles session! We covered themes from the iconic American Gothic portrait by Grant Wood to some of Norman Rockwell’s famous works to comic book lovebirds, Clark Kent & Lois Lane. This had to be one of the funnest engagement shoots EVER!! It’s hard to express how excited I am for Karnis & Alex’s upcoming wedding at the gorgeous Sherwood Country Club. These two must be planning to honeymoon on the planet Krypton! Thanks guys, for an INCREDIBLE experience!!

nashville wedding by joy marie…steve + shawn

Shawn & Steve are such great people, and they also happen to be our neighbors and now friends. After a some stormy weather the week prior, it turned out to be just a gorgeous day for their Nashville wedding at Brentwood United Methodist Church. We started the day off in Downtown Nashville at the beautiful Hermitage Hotel, and then it was off to the church in Brentwood for an intimate ceremony, followed by an elegant reception at Mere Bulles. These two share such a special connection together that I’m positive a lifetime of happiness awaits them. Congratulations, Shawn & Steve…thanks for allowing me to be a part of such a sweet day!

ojai valley inn wedding picture featured in southern weddings magazine

I received a beautiful end of the year gift today when I opened my mail, and there was the premiere issue of Southern Weddings Magazine. Lara Casey, and her wonderful team already run one of the most popular wedding Blogs in the wedding industry, and now they’ve outdone themselves with the new mag. I was so honored to learn that I’m featured in the magazine’s beautiful blooms feature. The picture was taken a few weeks back at Lisa & Tim’s Ojai Valley Inn wedding.
