What does your fairy-tale look like?

Everything about your elopement should reflect what matters most to you, nothing forced, nothing expected, just a day that feels honest and meaningful.

Imagine a day that isn’t about putting on a show, but about choosing an experience that reflects who you are. Picture exchanging vows in a beautiful, wild place, with every moment captured intentionally. If you value meaningful, low-stress experiences over the pressure of a big wedding, you’re in the right place.

As your Arizona-based elopement photographer, my goal is to capture your day in a way that feels true to you. Think of me as a quiet presence, more fly on the wall than director, documenting the real, candid moments that reflect your connection and your adventure together.

You Might Be a Joy & Wander Couple If…

  • You believe the best kind of love story is the one that doesn’t follow an exact script.
  • You’re more about meaningful moments than picture-perfect poses.
  • You don’t mind getting a little muddy, windblown, or misty-eyed.

  • You care about capturing the whole story, from quiet getting-ready moments to the last glow of golden light.

  • You feel most alive outdoors and want an experience that’s relaxed, real, and rooted in nature.

  • You love a touch of fairy tale or fantasy, but still want your day to feel like you.
  • You prefer presence over perfection, and connection over tradition.
  • You want a photographer who brings calm to the chaos, guides gently, and knows how to hold space for the honest, quiet magic of the day.

  • You’re looking for someone who’s more than just a vendor—someone who listens deeply, plans intentionally, and captures your love with care and intuition.

Your Arizona Elopement Photographer

Hey! I’m Hillary Joy. From the moment we begin planning, consider me all in, your advisor, storyteller, and steadfast companion on this enchanting journey. I’m not just there to capture fleeting moments, as your photographer; I’m here to dream with you, weave together ideas, and ensure every detail unfolds like the perfect chapter in your love story.

When the day arrives, I’ll be by your side, camera in hand, preserving every breathtaking moment—the stolen glances, the laughter, the magic of your vows.

But the story doesn’t end when the last light fades. The memories we create together will become timeless heirlooms, treasured for generations. I want your great-grandchildren to hold these photographs in their hands and feel the love, the adventure, the undeniable magic of your day.

So no, I’m not just an Arizona elopement photographer. I’m your memory-keeper, your adventure companion, and the storyteller of a tale that will be told for lifetimes. Let’s create something truly magical together!
