80 - From Structure to Trust w Vanessa Joy

Vanessa Joy reminds us, “remember how you felt, not how you were posed” and brings that process into her work as a photographer. She is a world renowned wedding photographer, having spent 20+ years in the field, has written her own photography book and educational courses, and currently writes for shutter magazine. Her story, just like the stories she captures with her camera, is rooted in trust.

In this conversation, Vanessa speaks to the importance of recognizing and using lighting to your advantage – people look where the light is taking them. She also talks about her creative, trustworthy, and natural way of capturing wedding photos…photography is a work of story-telling, and a wedding album is where the full story with all the important details is told. Finally, Vanessa shares her journey, from 5 college degrees to moments of failure, and how a friend telling her to go for it is what solidified her goal to start her business. She reminds us to trust the process and enjoy the moments.
