Leo + Eunice | Stephie Joy Photography Engagements

stephiejoy — Sat, 04 Feb 2012 03:11:16 +0000

Leo and Eunice met me in Atlantic Beach Last week. The day before was a gorgeous 75 degree florida winter day. However, you must know the weather in Florida is never consistent. On the day of Leo and Eunice’s beach shoot…it happend to drop into the low 40s!! Super cold for me, from the South and for them, being from Puerto Rico! Needless to say, we all froze! Thankfully, the sky was amazingly clear and it wasn’t too windy.

Leo and Eunice needed little direction from me…they were so natural in front of the camera. I think I may have only told them…”pretend to like each other”. haha….jk. Here is there Atlantic Beach engagement shoot. And I hope their March wedding this year is an awesome one!!!

Leo also surprised Eunice with a beautiful necklace…..And her reaction is priceless!

This weekend I get to shoot this lovely couple’s wedding! I can’t wait. I remember from the first time I met with Layla, at Starbucks (surprise), she was all smiles. And was just a sweet and easy going at their engagement session. Layla and Andy are so nice to work with. I’m so happy they picked me to shoot their awesome wedding at the Lightner Museum during the Night of Lights! It’s going to be awesome!

Rachel + Michael | Stephie Joy Photography Engagement

stephiejoy — Wed, 21 Dec 2011 02:08:41 +0000

Here’s an engagement session that is very special to me….Rachel has been a best friend of mine since we were little kids. We grew up on the same street and spent a ton of fun memories together! I love Rachel and am so happy that I get to be involved on her super special day! Here are some from her and Michael’s St. Augustine engagement session.

Victoria + Mike | Stephie Joy Photography {proposal}

stephiejoy — Mon, 19 Dec 2011 06:51:48 +0000

I got to shoot my first proposal! Mike contacted me a week or so before the big day to set up a surprise proposal for Victoria. She had wanted a couple session when he was in town for leave anyway, so they planned to have their session in St. Augustine the day after he got home. Little did Tori know, Mike had asked me to capture him asking her to be his wife! He wanted it to be perfect, and I don’t think it could be any more so. She was so shocked and excited…..needless to say, I may have been just as nervous. lol….

These images are very special to me because Victoria is my cousin. She and my sister grew up together not only as cousins, but also best friends. It was so amazing to see Tori get swept off her feet by this awesome guy! Here is a sneak peek…

Katie and BJ Engaged | Stephie Joy Wedding Photographer

stephiejoy — Thu, 22 Sep 2011 03:48:27 +0000

I first met Katie at Starbucks back in May of this year. And we hit it off first thing. She has the sweetest personality, and is always in a cheerful mood. I love every time I get to talk to her. Then I finally met BJ at The Wedding Exhibit Bridal Show in August, both seemed excited for their engagement session, and so was I. As Katie and I talked about where we would do her session, she wanted something romantic and vintage. So, we ended up in the beautiful city of St. Augustine! I always love coming down here. It’s a fun challenge to find different little places to shoot. I was so excited when we came across this little PINK house!

Love the vintage books that BJ brought for the session.

If you know me, you know I’ll always love the couples who get IN a body of water for a picture!!

I can not wait for Katie and BJ’s wedding this November!!! <3

Michael and Megan Engaged! | Stephie Joy Photography

stephiejoy — Sun, 28 Aug 2011 13:16:43 +0000

So this little couple is close to my heart. Megan is marrying my cousin Michael next May! For their engagement session, we got the privilege of the VIP treatment at Everbank Field. Both Megan and Michael are big sports fans so Megan pulled some strings and we were able to get into the stadium for part of their session! We went all around from the skyboxes to the field. It was exciting to be in the stadium when no one else was. Except, did I mention the players were there for practice? Ok….we only saw them in passing but it was still cool! We got some pretty awesome images despite the rain in the beginning of our time together.

The sunset, thanks to the rain beforehand, was amazing! It kept changing by the minute. Turning into a spectacular show….We could not have gotten luckier for this session! From VIP, NFL treatment to an amazing fire-filled sunset, Megan and Michael will have amazing pictures to remember forever! <3 I cannot wait for their wedding at Crosswater Hall in Nocatee, Fl.

Congratulations on your engagement you two, and I love y’all! <3

Amanda + Joel | Stephie Joy Photography {engagements}

stephiejoy — Sat, 02 Jul 2011 16:49:38 +0000

I am super excited about this couple’s wedding coming up this month. From the first time I met Amanda at Panera Bread for her bridal consult, I knew we would hit it off! Amanda’s personality is so bright and vibrant, she is going to make a beautiful bride! Then on to their engagement session. Amanda and Joel are so fun together! Their chemistry is awesome. I love couples where I don’t even have to coach them on posing. I just told them to pretend I wasn’t there, and act themselves. And they did just that! I can not wait for their fun filled Club Continental wedding in Orange PArk, Florida.

Jaime + Kevin | Stephie Joy Photography {love}

Not only are they a super sweet couple, the are way cute too! I had a blast laughing with them that day, and can’t wait for their April wedding! enjoy a little from their session.

stephiejoy — Fri, 08 Oct 2010 03:29:02 +0000

Sam and Lisa are getting married next month. So I met them recently for their engagement session. Let’s just say when Lisa showed up to the park, everyone was stunned! She was beautiful!! I can only imagine how she is going to look on wedding day. We were excited to get some sunset shots during this session, because rain threatened us pretty much all day. You know that crazy Florida weather!! Enjoy a few of their session.

My mother was in mer mom’s wedding, and now I’m shooting her wedding. I met Abbey and Shawn in Jacksonville Beach. We stopped by the Ponte Vedra Inn and Club for the beautiful fountain.
