About
During my full-time employment years, I have been a Campus Minister, End- of-life caretaker, along with other jobs that required excellent people skills in order to do a satisfactory+ job. I have always enjoyed and continue to enjoy working with individuals who have different ways of looking at life and expressing themselves in a unique way. Whether it's a marriage ceremony or a photo shoot, I try to incorporate the customer's personalities so that the ceremony or photos are a reflection of who they are, not who I am. I enjoy elopement ceremonies the most because of their intimate nature. Oftentimes I am hired as the officiant and photographer during these ceremonies which allows me to use both skills. Officiating weddings and photographing (weddings, individual portraits, family portraits, outdoor family reunions, etc.) gives me the opportunity to be with people during some of the happiest times of their lives, rather than their saddest and most vulnerable which brings me great joy in my semi-retirement!

Let me start by saying that Jo is absolutely wonderful!!! She is just easy to get along with and incredibly helpful! My husband and I choose Jo to be our officiant and photographer for our elopement wedding in Niagara Falls. Leading up to the ceremony, Jo was quick to answer any questions I had and reached out several times to ensure things were according to my liking. Day of the wedding went perfect thanks to Jo! My husband and I are from Maryland, so we had no clue where to go for our pictures. But Jo took us to several beautiful locations to have the rapids and falls in the background! I couldn’t ask for better pictures honestly! I would recommend her x100 and would rate her over 5 stars if possible! :)

Jo was absolutely incredible! She took our wedding on last minute and worked with us diligently to be sure that we had the day we had always dreamed of! She was beyond kind and professional! We met with her to go over the ceremony in detail and she even included our young daughter and made her feel special. I can’t recommend her enough!

Jo was absolutely amazing - truly the best we could have asked for. From the very first meeting, she made us feel comfortable, listened to our story, and captured our personalities perfectly. The ceremony Jo created was heartfelt, personal and unforgettable. We couldn't be more grateful for the love she poured into our special day!

What an Amazing experience my wife and I received using Jo's services! Jo was extremely interested in getting to know my wife and I to add a much appreciated personal touch to the renewal vows! All communications with Jo were professional, direct and caring for our needs. I could not be happier with my experience and would recommend her services to anyone. Thank you Jo, you were truly inspirational and a welcome part of our special day!
