First Time Visit to Mendocino: Jeanine and Matt

“Joyce is a wonderful photographer who beautifully captured my wife's and my fifth anniversary weekend getaway. She was incredibly collaborative throughout the planning process, offering great suggestions and building on my ideas. Her extensive knowledge of Mendocino meant she knew the perfect locations and times for our shoot. The final photos captured not only the beauty of the surroundings, but also the love and joy my wife and I felt that day.”
