tIMELESS, EPHEMERAL STYLE CAPTURING THE ESSENCE OF EACH MOMENT

Vanessa Joy’s intuitive sense of style drives her creative decisions, which are unique to every celebration she photographs.

“I’m black and white when the mood strikes. I’m natural light when I feel it. I'm flash when I don’t. I’m bright and vibrant, and I'm dark and moody — all in one day.
