Carmela Joy

Destination Wedding Photographer

I’m Carmela, a wedding photographer based in Arizona but will travel anywhere for love! I am married to my sweet husband and we are parents to two of the most adorable dogs that we rescued. I am a lover of all things outdoorsy and get fueled and inspired by beautiful desert sunsets, windy mountain tops, and that fresh forest air. I feel so blessed to be able to travel as a full time photographer to breathtaking destinations for weddings and elopements. I have had the wonderful opportunity to meet and become great friends with many AMAZING people along the way and hope to be able to meet YOU and hear your story. Let’s adventure together!

I’M A FRIEND, A CHEERLEADER, AND SOMEONE YOU CAN COUNT ON. I’M HERE TO GET TO KNOW YOU & BE INVOLVED EVERY STEP OF THE WAY. YOUR STORY IS UNIQUE, AND I AM HERE TO EMBRACE IT AND HELP CREATE A MEANINGFUL EXPERIENCE THAT IS UNIQUELY YOURS. ANYONE CAN CAPTURE THE BIG MOMENTS. I WANT TO DOCUMENT THOSE SMALL, IN-BETWEEN MOMENTS THAT COULD BE EASILY FORGOTTEN, BUT ADD SO MUCH TO YOUR STORY. FROM YOUR BACKYARD TO A WEDDING VENUE TO A NATIONAL PARK, MY GOAL IS TO CAPTURE EVERY MOMENT THAT MAKES YOUR STORY & YOUR WEDDING UNIQUELY YOURS.

    We are so thankful for you! You made us feel so comfortable and kept us laughing. You also took a bummer situation of me braking my foot the day before our engagement session and made it the most magical session. You saw my vision but made it better then I could imagine! You truly have a talent for this! She got sneak peeks within 24 hours!!!! Also her editing skills are . I broke my foot and had surgery a month before my wedding and she took my scars off my foot and she made my photos look amazing you can’t even tell I only was able to stand on 1 leg. She is amazing!!!! I can’t say that enough!!

    I am so happy I found Carmela, we have had the best experience and the quality of her photos is truly amazing!! Me and my husband had never had a professional photo shoot done together so our engagement shoot with Carmela was the first, we were so nervous but Carmela made us feel SO comfortable and made it so much fun, and the pictures turned out amazing!! Fast forward to wedding day, she was everyone's biggest hype woman and captured everything so perfectly. Not only is her editing style so beautiful but her communication, quality of work, and kindness make working with her so fun and easy. We will 100% be booking with her for all future photo shoots, I could go on and on about how amazing she is, if you are looking for a wedding photographer - Carmela is THE BEST!!

She is kind and professional, and her photography is gorgeous. She will go to great lengths to make your day special. A stellar pick for your wedding day!
