My journey into videography and photography started back when I was a youth minister at my home parish in Orlando, FL. I’d take my camera with me everywhere – from treks through the Rocky Mountains on retreat to capturing sunsets in the Smoky Mountains while on mission trips. Documenting these happy moments sparked something within me and I fell in love with visual storytelling.
I’m also what I like to call an extroverted extrovert. I thrive around people. I value getting real, raw and sharing stories. This naturally led me into shooting weddings. I still consider myself in ministry – it just looks a little different. Now it’s about walking with couples as you prepare for marriage and the joy of your wedding day.
I’m Jo – Catholic, mother, former youth minister, and creative extrovert.

Because the highest calling of our vocation of marriage is to get each other and our children to Heaven. This whole endeavor began with my husband believing in me, encouraging me, and praying for me. Now, every night we pray for couples with our toddler during bedtime prayers. JPII says that love is willing the good of the other--and that is what I pray for couples and whatI hope to accomplish walking with couples as they prepare for the Sacrament of marriage.
I believe in free, total, faithful & fruitful kinda’ everyday love.
Be weird.
Be random.
Be who you are.
1 Corinthians 13:13
The passionate and intimate kind of love shared between spouses and soulmates. It’s also that morning cup of tea delivered to bed, filling up your tank because you always forget the gas kinda’ love.
Eros
The love of your friends. It’s your bridal party cheering you on from the sidelines or your old college roommate flying halfway across the world to be there with you on your big day.
Philia
The love of your parents. It’s your mom carefully arranging your wedding dress in the morning and your dad slowly walking you down the aisle. It’s being surrounded by your family – whatever family means to you.
Stroge
It’s the fatherly kind love God bestows on us and our love for Him. It’s the sacrificial, unconditional forever kind of love and can be felt so abundantly at a Christian wedding.
Agape
Documenting the most precious of memories because they move so quickly and children grow up so fast. As a mother, I look for those in-between giggles, those sweet moments of utter love within families to document yours.
