AT THIS POINT, YOU MIGHT BE FEELING...

worried you'll feel awkward in front of the camera resulting in stiff, stuffy photos that are the least bit natural
a little lost, not knowing how to plan a shot list or a timeline, which might lead to feeling rushed through the best day of your life
concerned key moments might be missed -- this day only happens once

I'm Joni

Your Indiana + California Wedding Photographer

I’ve been photographing couples for over 15 years, which means I’ve mastered the art of helping you forget the camera is even there!

I’m a warm, bubbly presence on your wedding day — the person who keeps everyone comfortable, brings calm when stress arises, and keeps the energy high when it’s time to dance the night away.

Based in Indiana (formerly & seasonally in Southern California!), I’m a film wedding photographer for couples who want their story told with whimsy and warmth.

"It was obvious that she had the ability to create such a warming environment for our special day.

Joni just has this natural and genuine soul that makes you feel as if you have known her forever! My family and friends could not get enough of her."

"All the little details, secret moments when we thought you weren't even around, the unbridled candid joy,

our guests at their very best (and funniest), the overall mood and scene, and if we were to frame every photo that we adore, they would fill every available space on every wall in our house."
