Hey there! I'm Joann AKA Jo.
I am a documentary wedding and event videographer based in Las Vegas, Nevada. My journey into filmmaking began in middle school when I had just moved to Vegas. New kid in a new school in a new city. I was just a bored kid at home with no friends and a wild imagination, so I thought why not bring those ideas to life? I would come up with an idea, write it down on some random piece of paper, plan what I needed to film on my small digital camera, and force my family to be actors in it with me. I invested so much time and passion into those videos, which- in retrospect, are material for pure embarrassment, yet, it brought me great joy. Since then, my love for storytelling has developed into capturing the authentic memories of people's most special days. From behind the camera, I have gained an appreciation for the beauty of genuine emotions.
I believe that the best moments are the ones that unfold naturally. Since studying Film in college and working for a professional events company for over 5 years, I have gained the insight that the most meaningful memories are actually the ones that are unscripted. Your day should not feel like a huge production! After all, your love is based on a true story. At the end of the day, all you want is to celebrate with all your loved ones and form core memories. This is why my approach to filming is unobtrusive, allowing me to capture candid moments as they happen - laughter, tears, and everything in between. By blending artistic cinematography with a documentary style, I aim to capture organic memories that showcase the events of your day but also reflect the real emotions and connections that make your love so special and unique.
I got married myself in May 2024 (that's me and my husband in the photo!^), so I know firsthand how much work goes into planning and the importance of choosing the right vendors for your big day. I understand wanting the memories of that one special day to last a lifetime. Like the wave of nostalgia you get when you watch old home videos, your wedding video should feel like the coziest, most warmest cup of Jo :) (pun intended!).
