Our couples sessions are far from ordinary. We believe that truly capturing the essence of your relationship goes beyond a perfect backdrop or coordinating outfits. It's about the connection you share and the emotions you experience together.
Imagine your favorite place—somewhere that holds deep meaning in your relationship. Combine that with an activity you both love, and that's the heart of your session. We want you to relive the moments that define you as a couple, to feel the emotions that make your story uniquely yours, and to create something that will make you look back and say, "I can still feel that moment."
This isn't just a photoshoot; it's an emotional experience that reflects who you are and the love you share.

KIND WORDS
"They are the sweetest, most caring people"
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Des and Shane! They are truly the sweetest, most caring people, and their talent is beyond impressive. From the moment we met them, they made us feel so comfortable and at ease, which is such a rare gift in photographers. They have this incredible ability to capture authentic moments without it ever feeling forced or posed. Each photo feels so natural, full of love, and full of *us*. Every time we get our photos back, we’re absolutely blown away—they always exceed our expectations! And on top of that, they’re super quick with delivery, which is a huge bonus. If you’re looking for photographers who not only create stunning images but also make the entire experience feel effortless and enjoyable, Des and Shane are the ones! Highly, highly recommend!

KIND WORDS
"I will Be booking them for my wedding!"
The Joy Collective's work is truly exceptional. This year, I’ve struggled with some weight gain and self-esteem issues, and when my fiancé and I booked our photos, I wasn’t exactly excited due to how I felt about my appearance. However, the photos they took made me feel beautiful and captured the raw, genuine emotions between my fiancé and me. I can’t recommend them enough—10,000/10! I will absolutely be booking them for our wedding!"
