“What’s important for people is not photography, it’s not how cool the photos are. It’s how you made them feel”

Pic-Time Stories: Joy Zamora 5

Joy was deeply inspired by his own wedding, realizing the photos he treasured most were those of loved ones and family.

Because he prefers to shoot elopements, he has the ability to put more emphasis on capturing candid images of all the relationships present on a wedding day.

In his words, he can capture “the soul not only of the couple but each guest,” and create heirloom images that will be treasured long after a wedding is over.
