Joy Shots Photography

  • Classic style
  • Serves Amherst, VA

My photography journey started in high school, photographing church and community events. From there it was natural transition to begin offering photo sessions to my friends and family, and so Joy Shots was born in 2014.I was privileged to shoot my first wedding for a friend in 2015 and I have since had the honor to photograph over 50 weddings. I love the chances I have to work with couples from their initial engagement session through their wedding day, through capturing their growing families down through the years. To me the people I get to connect with year after year with Joy Shots are more than customers, they are a part of a family.

We were thrilled with Erika and Joy Shots Photography! Erika's communication was clear, vibrant, and quick - she always responded promptly to any questions we had leading up to the big day. On the wedding day itself, Erika was professional, fun, and respectful. She made sure to capture all the special moments while keeping things light and moving smoothly. Erika was often there when we couldn't find our planner, stepping in to keep things on track. She really went above and beyond to ensure our wedding day was perfect and we got amazing photos to remember it by. The quality of Erika's work shows through in the vibrant, joyful photos she captured. She helped me with my veil and bustling my dress multiple times. She had my change of shoes when my feet began to hurt! She even let me borrow sunglasses for some super fun pics. We'd HIGHLY recommend Joy Shots Photography for any couple looking for a talented, dedicated photographer to beautifully photograph their special memories. She was the best vendor we hired at our wedding, by far.

Your unique style. What makes you come alive. What you hope to share with the world. That's what you want in your wedding photos.

We used Hannah for our wedding and it was a truly magical experience. We weren’t the most comfortable in front of the camera, but the engagement photos helped make the wedding day feel much more natural. Working with her was easy with great contact. She was receptive to our wants/ ideas and very responsive. We got our engagement photos back super quick and they made me so excited for the wedding day. Our photos were light, bright and airy and more beautiful than we could have imagined. She was so nice, friendly and efficient. She was headed out of town after our wedding, and she surprised us with 20ish preview photos the very next day before she left. I would recommend her over and over!

Growing up in the suburbs of Boston and attending undergrad in Connecticut, I’m a true New England gal. Winter holds a special place in my heart, as I embrace the beauty and charm of every location I photograph.

That would honestly make my heart smile! 😊 My mission: create timeless, heirloom-quality artwork that reflects the unique connection & individuality of each couple I have the honor to serve.

Awarded Best of Zola
I’m typically shy and not very photogenic, so I was extremely anxious about how our wedding photos would turn out. But after finding LaDonna through a Facebook ad, I immediately knew I wouldn’t have to worry if she was our photographer. She took the time to understand me and helped me find my confidence in front of the camera. By the wedding day, I felt completely at ease and able to focus on the moment with my husband rather than my insecurities in my head. LaDonna and the LT² team captured everything beautifully, balancing candid moments with fine art shots that truly tell our story. The photos are so authentic, and I’ll cherish these memories forever, along with the confidence I gained. Thank you, LaDonna, for an unforgettable experience! 3 7.27.24

Josie with Give Photography was my wedding photographer and I'm so grateful to her for her incredible photos. My husband and I had never done professional photos and had no idea how to pose or what to do but Josie sure knows a thing or two! She got the most romantic and beautiful photos and everything felt so natural and easy. Plus our reception venue was pretty dark and had weird lighting so a lot of our guests photos didn't turn out, so it was a real gift to have Josie's incredible photos at the reception.

Growing up, my mom would take pictures of us on her Kodak. On Saturdays, we would go to the Wal-Mart, have them developed and organize the images into our albums. Throughout the years, we would look through those albums together and those moments are very core memories for my family and I. This is what I want to share with others. Each emotional interaction on a wedding day is an intricate fiber weaved together to create a wonderful story. And I want to share that gift with others - to relive and feel that warmth all over again.

Missy and Nicole were amazing! Working with them felt so natural and for the first time I felt so beautiful in front of a camera! My makeup was a little messed up from happy crying at our ceremony and they assured me it would not be a problem. Sure enough we got the photos back and they were BEAUTIFUL. They looked so natural and I did not see any of the makeup flaws I had that day. I think it is important to also mention that having two photographers is a game changer! They caught some pretty incredible moments from all different angles during our reception and worked so well together to create some unique/beautiful photos. These ladies are incredible and we cannot thank them enough for catching the best moments from our day on camera! We will definitely be recommending them to everyone we know. Thank you both so much again!

It is so nice to have you here! I am a Charlottesville Washington DC and Virginia Wedding Photographer who creates artful film-inspired imagery with a combination of timeless editorial and hybrid candid photography that recreates tangible memories of what matters most: you and your authentic love story. With a passion for wanderlust and most importantly my family, I know that life's most cherished moments are fleeting. It's an honor to create emotional love-story centered heirlooms that can be passed down for generations to come.

Working with Bethany from the very beginning was an absolutely incredible experience. Wedding planning can be stressful, but she took out 100% of the stress when it came to photography. Bethany is so energetic, organized, and kind. Words cannot describe how impressed I was by her attention to detail, her decisive and quick thinking as she arranged setups for poses and came up with ideas for shots in a matter of seconds. My entire bridal party was even amazed by her eye for detail and skillful work as she captured portraits and moments from the day. I felt like I was able to sit back and relax, knowing she had everything under control. She was by far my favorite professional I worked with while planning my wedding. I truly cannot recommend Bethany or her work highly enough.
