About
Hello! Thanks for stopping by! My name is Joani Wangerin. I love people, am passionate about creative and visual arts, am completely committed to excellence, and have an insatiable appetite for telling my clients' stories. I'm a journalistic photographer and I love capturing your story. Every little intimate look...every smile and burst of laughter...every nod, wink, and tear... each and every moment that makes your day uniquely yours. If you're in need of an event planner, I'd love to assist with that as well! I founded and ran a performing and visual arts school for 25+ years, and have always loved creating spaces and places for magic to happen. From 5-5000, I love designing events that will never be forgotten...by the bride and groom AND their guests. In my opinion, there is nothing more fulfilling! I would love nothing more than to meet you (coffee or a phone chat is fine) and hear about your upcoming event. And if I can add my imagination and years of experience to help make your dream come true, nothing would make me happier! Let's connect! Joani

Joani was truly a DREAM to work with. She gave me tips on planning and how we could schedule around sunset pictures. She showed up super early on my wedding day to get pictures of us getting ready and was very professional. If you're like me and have no idea what poses/pictures you want, she will absolutely help you! The pictures came back SUPER fast, and the quality was amazing. Forever grateful for the memories I get to look back on because of her!!

Details: Wedding • 50 - 99 guests • Outdoors • Physical proofs or prints • Flash drive

Joani was great, can tell she enjoys what she does. She was rocking and rolling as soon as she came in. She took so many pictures and they are fantastic. She even did the black and white picture. If I'm ever in the market for a photographer, it will be her again She did a wonderful job And looking at the pictures now They really tell a story Thanks so much, Mrs.Joani

Sheena, thank you so much for your kind words! I had so much fun with you and Derrick (and all your family and friends 😉)! It was such a beautiful day, you were stunning, and I’m beyond honored you selected me to be your photographer! I know you have so many special memories to be made just ahead and I wish you both the very best!❤️
