Welcome


Welcome to the blog for Joy Bird Photography! I'm Joy, an engagement to bridal to wedding photographer based in Provo, Utah. My style is clean and traditional with plenty of room for trying new things and being creative. I love photography because I can create pictures that make people smile and laugh and feel good about themselves.

Thank you for looking around, and feel free to leave comments. I enjoy knowing what people have to say about my work.

Provo Engagement - Sierra + Chris

This photo shoot must have been one of the funnest!  Sierra and Chris were so happy and excited to be there and it was obvious they adore each other.    We had to take things a bit slow since I'm still recovering from a sprained ankle, but my handicap sure didn't slow this couple down!  They were full of energy, ideas, and smiles.  And I loved their clothing choice, they went so well with the places we visited.

Sam and Erin Bridals

Here are more pictures of Sam and Erin.  We were hoping for snow, but alas, Utah valley has missed out this year.  However, this day was freezing anyway.  The barn area was a quite a bit warmer than the temple, so we no longer had to sit in the car every 15 minutes to warm up.  Poor Erin had a short sleeved wedding dress, yet I was the one complaining!






Even old abandoned two-seater outhouses can provide romantic backdrops!


Such a lovely bride!

Right after this precarious pose the two of them came tumbling off the bench.  I was so shocked I forgot take pictures of the occurrence, which I still regret.

Sam and Erin Engagements

This was such a fun photo shoot!  Sam and Erin are so adorable together.  I asked how they met and Erin said she saw Sam at a ward function and thought he was cute and decided to talk to him.  She already knew most of the other guys, but this one caught her eye.  Atta girl!
