Joy Zamora Photographer | Reviews

When my wedding planner first showed me Joy’s profile, I knew instantly — this is the guy. His work stood out immediately: the colors, tones, and the way he captures details are simply phenomenal. I’ve looked at countless wedding portfolios, and his instantly felt special.

Joy photographed both our welcome event and our wedding day, and from the very first second we met, I felt completely at ease. I’m not really camera shy, but it usually takes me some time to warm up in front of a lens — with Joy, we clicked right away. He made the entire experience fun, comfortable, and full of laughter, which is exactly what you want on such meaningful days. He was there the whole time — probably even staying beyond the hours he was supposed to work — making sure he captured every single detail and every moment that mattered.

What truly impressed me is how Joy balances everything so effortlessly. He knows exactly how to guide and pose a large wedding party for beautiful, timeless portraits, yet he’s equally talented at capturing candid moments — the real, unplanned emotions between us and our guests. Beyond people, he has a sharp eye for photographing all the thoughtful details in the venue and décor that made our events uniquely ours.

His turnaround time was also unbelievably fast. Even though summer is peak wedding season and I know he was swamped, we received our full gallery in just one month! And there were so many photos — both digital and film — each telling the story of our celebration in its own beautiful way.

I’ve received countless compliments on our wedding photos, and several friends have already started looking into booking Joy for their own events. He may focus on weddings, but I truly hope our paths cross again in the future for another shoot. Joy isn’t just a photographer — he’s an artist, a storyteller, and a joy (pun intended!) to work with.

If you’re lucky enough to have him available for your date, don’t hesitate. He’s simply the best.

We’re so grateful to have had Joy as our wedding photographer. His work is absolutely top-notch, there’s no doubt about his talent. Every photo he captured was stunning, thoughtful, and full of emotion. We love every single image he sent us!

It means so much to us to have these beautiful memories so perfectly documented. Not only is Joy incredibly skilled behind the camera, but he was also a calm and reassuring presence on such a special and emotional day.

Totally worth hiring him, we’re beyond happy we got to have him with us on our wedding day. Highly recommend!

Joy is one of those rare people who puts you at ease the moment you meet him!!! From our first conversation, we knew he was the PERFECT person to capture our day.

Joy has a singular eye for light, detail, and composition, yet never forces a “look." And he truly honors his artistic style while celebrating who we are as a couple. We had people who were total strangers tell us our photos were the best wedding photos they have ever seen.

Most importantly, Joy has the calmest energy, offering gentle direction when we needed it and melting into the background for the candid moments. He captured both the big, emotional beats and the quiet in-between ones we didn’t even realize were happening. The result is a collection of images that feels timeless and authentically us. We were so lucky to have found him and recommend his work to everyone! This will be the best decision you make for your wedding. Guaranteed.

Working with Joy was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding.

From the very beginning, he brought such a calm, positive energy that made everyone feel at ease — and that really shows in the photos. He didn’t just capture the day; he captured the feeling of it. The emotion, the in-between moments, the essence of who we are as a couple — it’s all there, beautifully and effortlessly preserved.

We felt completely present and relaxed with him around, like having a friend by our side with a truly exceptional eye.

The final gallery blew us away. Every image tells a story, and reliving the day through his lens was an experience we’ll never forget. We couldn’t be more grateful.

Thank you, Joy, for your talent, your presence, and for giving us the most beautiful memories to keep forever.

It was love at first sight with Joy, with a very happy ending.

My fiancé (now husband) first chanced upon Joy's profile on IG randomly and we immediately fell in love with his style. The catch? Joy was based in Spain and we were located halfway across the world, in the tiny island of Singapore. We loved his work so much that it did not stop us from reaching out. From the very first Zoom meeting, it was evident that his passion for his craft and for love was undeniable. He ended up being the first vendor we booked and it was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding!

For us, what sets him apart from other photographers was the rich emotions that he was able to capture through his work. In the words of our family and friends when reviewing our wedding album: "it was like with every frame, you are able to re-live the moment in time and experience the happiness of the day again". His creative eye and attention to detail are pure magic ✨

True to his name, Joy was a joy to work with! He was a ball of positive energy and added nothing but good spirits and cheer to our wedding day. He was somehow able to make all our guests feel comfortable in front of the camera. My husband and I also felt like absolute rockstars with his never-ending shower of compliments and ideas.

When you hire Joy, you're not just hiring a vendor to get the job done (although he definitely would get it done!). You're hiring a talented, hard-working and skilled professional who understands love, who stands for love and would do his very best to capture that love between you and your partner (and all your beloved guests!) into photo memories that you can cherish for years to come. And bonus: the most fun-loving addition to your wedding guest list, we loved having him around!

Muchas gracias Joy for the beautiful keepsakes of our once-in-a-lifetime

What can we say about Joy except for wow. Wow, wow, wow! He is the most talented photographer, one of the most genuinely kind humans and can capture magic through his lens.

From the moment we met him, we knew he was special and that he would be able to photograph our love, perfectly. Which he absolutely achieved.

Every photo is absolutely breathtaking.

Joy was the first vendor we booked. He understood us from the very beginning and felt like a close friend that we could be comfortable around. He took the time to continue to get to know us leading up to the wedding and went above and beyond for us. He helped create so much ease and flow on the wedding day and showed up to our night before dinner with such excitable, loving energy.

Photos and capturing the memories of our wedding was one of the most important things to us. We knew we needed to find someone extremely talented that we could trust to capture the day and events through our eyes.

We didn’t want him to capture a million photos of us, per se, but to capture life as it was happening. Like photographer Henri Cartier Bresson. To pay attention to all the little details that we might have missed on our special day. To place the quiet, unassuming moments, still in time forever. So that when we go back to look at our photos, we have little glimpses of our love story from every angle.

And wow did he do that and so much more. He captured our hearts and the love all around us so perfectly. Every image is enchanting and we are forever grateful for him.

We sing his praises all the time and his work clearly speaks for itself that he’s been hired for my close friend’s wedding, here in the states! We are so excited we get to see him again this year because we truly adore him.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, Joy!
