Hey, I’m Joy — a Houston-based wedding and lifestyle photographer who believes love is meant to be celebrated with intention, joy, and heart.

I specialize in documenting weddings and life milestones for couples who value connection, culture, and tradition. From multicultural and inter-racial weddings to intimate elopements and modern celebrations — I’m here to tell your story honestly and beautifully, exactly as it is.

Your wedding day is more than a timeline — it’s a gathering of people, history, and meaning.

I’m especially drawn to weddings where culture and tradition are at the heart of the celebration — from tea ceremonies to meaningful rituals and beautifully blended backgrounds. I photograph every story with care, respect, and intention.

I proudly celebrate all love stories across cultures, identities, and backgrounds, documenting your day in a way that feels authentic and true to you.

What It’s Like Working With Me

I’m here to be more than just your photographer — I’m your calm presence, your guide, and your hype woman.

I’ll help you feel comfortable in front of the camera, offer gentle direction when needed, and create space for real moments to unfold naturally. My goal is for you to feel supported, confident, and fully present on your wedding day — so you can focus on what matters most.

You don’t need to worry about “posing perfectly.” Just show up as yourselves, and I’ll take care of capturing the rest.

A Little More About Me

I moved to the U.S. from Taiwan when I was younger, and my background has deeply shaped how I see love, family, and tradition. I understand how meaningful it is to honor culture while creating something that feels personal and modern — and that perspective naturally influences the way I photograph weddings.

Outside of photography, I love the mountains (Banff will always have my heart), visiting national parks, traveling whenever I can, and slow mornings with coffee. I’m married to my best friend, Jeffrey, and we share our home with our Australian Cattle Dogs, CJ (a little wild) and Dotson (very silly), plus our two cats, Alfred (a grumpy old grandpa) and Beryl (the sweetest girl). When we’re not outdoors, you’ll usually find us playing board games or watching K-dramas together.

These are the little things that ground me — and they’re also why I care so deeply about preserving moments, big and small.

Beyond Weddings

While weddings are my main focus, I also photograph:

• Couples & engagements
• Graduates & seniors
• Life milestones and personal portraits

Every session is approached with the same storytelling mindset — capturing genuine emotion, connection, and the in-between moments that make each chapter special.
