I'm Joni

Your San Diego + Temecula 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 Southern California, I’m a San Diego + Temecula 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."

 

-Janay

"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."

 

-Lorelei

-Lorelei

"I was struck by how powerfully you captured the emotions and feelings of a moment.

The way you balanced the grandeur and beauty of nature with the people, emotions and moments on the day is breathtaking."
