Last night I filmed my last wedding of the year in NYC and now comes my season of finishing edits and then my hibernation as I prepare to birth another human being 😳🥰 (I feel both haha.) Thankful to all my couples who invited me into one of the most important days of their lives and trusted me to capture their love stories! Thankful for what I get to do for you guys!! Courtney and Tim will get to have the big wedding reception they dreamed about next year, but this micro wedding they had this past summer was pretty damn dreamy!! Here’s a snippet of their gorgeous Highlight Film! #highlightfilm #joycefilms #girlboss #femalefilmmaker #weddingcinematographer #weddingcinema #weddingcinematography #storyteller #brooklynvideographer #brooklynvideography #weddingvideo #weddingvideography #weddingvideographer #newyorkwedding #newyorkweddingvideographer #newyorkcitywedding #manhattanwedding #manhattanbride #citywedding #nypl #nypubliclibrary #museumofthecityofnewyork #beekmanhotel #thebeekmanhotel

Was on a bit of a social hiatus but in celebration of flying back to NYC this weekend to film my second to last wedding of the season I have to share last months epic celebration!! A month ago Jeff and Taylor married in an enchanted forest outside of Albany, New York. I knew when we first Skyped almost two years ago and there were huge fireworks between the three of us that this wedding was gonna be special! Every detail was perfection and the vibe was absolutely epic! It was such an honor to work alongside this incredible team. (Vendors tagged in video) Full film coming soon! Be sure you are following @taylorjphillips and @jeffodonnell as their Highlight Film will first be released on their Patreon account ☺️ #Joycefilms #weddingfilm #weddingvideo #weddingcinema #weddingcinematography #weddingcinematographer #weddingvideographer #weddingvideography #weddinginspiration #weddingstyle #newyorkwedding #nywedding #upstatewedding #upstatenewyorkwedding #outdoorwedding #elopement #elope #isaidyes #weddinghighlight #gaywedding #husbandandhusband #samesexwedding #samesexcouples #samesexmarriage

Can I start every wedding weekend with a dance session lake side while popping champagne? 🍾 When I took Aaron snd Shannon out the week before their wedding for a sunset adventure session I said to them “just hangout while I get my camera settings right.” When I looked up they were already completely wrapped up in one another, kissing, playing, dancing and laughing. For the next two hours I rarely said a word of coaching, I just played music and allowed them to be totally them! Then a week later at their wedding not a thing was different these two were dancing, laughing and having a blast from the beginning of the day to the end! I mean when I heard their “send off” was a surprise pool jump I thought, oh this is going to be one hell of a party!! So grateful I was able to capture this wedding bliss and these two incredible humans! My first Oregon wedding since moving back, and it did not disappoint!! #joycefilms #weddingfilm #weddingvideography #weddingvideo #weddingvideographer #weddingvideos #weddingfilm #weddingfilms #weddingfilmmaker #oregonwedding #oregonelopement #coastalelopement #washingtonwedding #washingtonweddingvideographer #californiaweddingvideographer #californiawedding #utahwedding #utahweddingvideographer #coloradoweddingvideographer #coloradowedding #outdoorwedding #adventurouselopement #isaidyes #isaidyes💍 #engaged #justengaged

Putting myself together on a Monday like this! Life’s too short not to dance in your bathrobe and psych yourself up for the day! Mine also started with a good sweat session at @orangetheory. Good Lawdy when I say sweat I mean rain! The best part is that this momma was running a bit late for work today so we skipped the post workout shower and just threw that hair up! I can still taste the salt on the sides of my lips. I have to say sometimes I don’t hate it, it kinda makes me feel like I just got off a boat on the ocean, with a nice sea breeze stuck to my skin. Keeping it real for you guys! How do you prepare for your day? #joycefilms #weddingfilm #weddingvideography #weddingvideo #weddingvideographer #weddingvideos #weddingfilm #weddingfilms #weddingfilmmaker #oregonwedding #oregonelopement #coastalelopement #washingtonwedding #washingtonweddingvideographer #californiaweddingvideographer #californiawedding #utahwedding #utahweddingvideographer #coloradoweddingvideographer #coloradowedding #outdoorwedding #adventurouselopement #isaidyes #isaidyes💍 #engaged #justengaged

Drinks on me! Or that’s what I’d yell if I was popping champagne like @tgkruger and @courtkrugs! Am I the only one who gets excited for drinks on a Thursday night?! Lately my libation of choice has been a whiskey sour! And honestly I love making them at home the most! That way I can make em extra strong and extra lemony (I’m a big fan of citrus!) and of course to be a true whiskey sour don’t forget that egg white! Here is my perfect whiskey sour recipe! 1/4 c. Rye Whiskey (I love @bulleit) 1 Tbsp sugar Juice of 1 lemon (I told you it was a lot) 1 egg white Put all ingredients into a cocktail shaker with some ice and shake the heck out of that sucker so you get all the frothy goodness, strain over a large ice cube and enjoy!!

Today I was feeling all sorts of nostalgic and emotional as I rewatched Corey and Bianca’s wedding film (yes even I rewatch your wedding films!) This is why I love when and encourage all my couples to write their own vows or at least letters to one another for the wedding day! You just can’t beat the romance, raw emotion, often times humor and laughter as well! #joycefilms #newyorkwedding #brooklynwedding #bkwedding #weddingvideo #weddingvideographer #weddingvideography #brooklynweddingvideographer #weddingcinema #weddingcinematography #weddingcinematographer #weddingfilm #femalefilmmaker #girlboss #isaidyes #engaged #destinationwedding #elopement #rainywedding #maywedding

About a month ago I had the privilege of getting to meet Taylor of @hilleventco and film an epically beautiful styled shoot with a killer team (listed below,) as well as create this dreamy branding film for her company and the launch of her new website. She offers full service event planning, is an incredible designer and is a blast to work with so you can’t go wrong! Also for any photographers, planners or really anyone else wanting to showcase their work through a brand film, hit me up! I would love to hear your vision and work together on bringing your brand to life through film!

COVID couldn’t steal Randall & Ellyn’s wedding day! These two are the definition of fun, easy-going and tenacious. After having to cancel their over 200 person wedding, they decided even if they had to scale it back they weren’t gonna let that stop them from their perfect wedding day! They had to change venues three times, shift things around and tailor back their guest count to less than 20 of their family and closest friends, but what they ended up creating was a magical wedding weekend! Their first dance is evidence of the spirit these two exude! #Joycefilms #coxsackieny #windrifthall #windriftwedding #windrifthallwedding #adventurouswedding #weddingfilm #weddingvideo #weddingcinema #weddingcinematography #weddingcinematographer #weddingvideographer #weddingvideography #weddinginspiration #weddingstyle #newyorkwedding #nywedding #upstatewedding #upstatenewyorkwedding #outdoorwedding #elopement #elope #isaidyes #weddinghighlight

Oh my stars! 🤩I have been chomping at the bit to play around with this styled footage from last week. I have so much I want to share and so much coming, but I wanted to tease you with this gorgeous ceremony set-up we had going on! Oh man guys, oh man!! 🥰 So much more to come from this shoot and this day!! Tap the video to see the full kick ass team of vendors that I got to work with on this shoot!!

Saturday was one hell of a way to kick off my wedding season! 😍 Did I say kick off? Yup! Saturday was the first wedding I have been able to shoot this year. It has been the most odd, off balance year that I can ever remember. Yet there has been so much joy, so much hope and celebration even in the midst of chaos, tragedy and uncertainty. And Saturday with Jon and Ashley proved to be just that, a beautiful celebration of love, commitment, family and friends. Their intimate wedding consisted of less than 20 of their closest friends and family in the backyard of a quaint Bed and Breakfast in Connecticut, and it was perfect in every way! Cannot wait to share more of this day with you guys, but for now feast your eyes on these incredible florals designed by @wildfloraldesigns in the backyard of @graybarns while @jspizzo made @ashleymariepizzo and guests split their sides with his perfect hand written vows! Ps. This was the most charming Inn and Tavern I’ve ever seen and I am dragging my husband back here asap! Be sure to check out their insta for all the design inspiration, or better yet stop by for charming cocktails or a delicious meal.

This wedding will take your breath away!

It is safe to say that this wedding took the breath from my lungs! The overwhelming beauty and style, the details and vision were absolutely perfect! Howard, Jialin and I sat down together multiple times to chat about their wedding day, what they envisioned, what they wanted to the day to look like, feel like and and most importantly what they wanted to remember about it (that's where I come in!) There is so much trust that happens between my couples and I, to listen and understand one another. I am so thankful for incredible couples that entrust me with capturing this wildly important day in their lives and creating a piece of art with it that they can enjoy for generations to come! . Congratulations to you both Howard & Jialin!! I hope you are still floating on a cloud one week later! . This is just the Teaser guys, there is so much goodness coming! Check out the killer team below that made all this possible!
