How many years have you been in business?
5 years
How did you get started in weddings?
I have been a photojournalist for well over a decade, so shooting weddings in the documentary style was a natural choice for me. I started out assisting wedding photographers.
What do you like most about weddings?
I love learning about traditions that are woven into the ceremony which make it unique to that couple. I love being close to families during such a special time.
What’s your favorite wedding photo and why?
Of course my favorite photo changes all the time but this one has some permanence for me. The bride (Anice) was surrounded by her friends and family in the hours before the ceremony. They formed a circle and prayed together. I thought it was very sweet how that moment not only celebrated her big day but all the people who helped her get there.
Joon's favorite photo.
What is your service philosophy?
Let moments unfold organically. Nothing is more beautiful than life’s real events. Look. Listen. Pay attention.
What are your strengths compared to others in your category? Why should a bride hire you?
As a documentary photographer, I can seamlessly fit into most any situation. I have an eye for those special moments which might otherwise be lost.
What attracts brides to your service/company?
I am easy to work with and I make beautiful photographs which can be enjoyed for generations.
What would previous couples say was the main reason they selected your company?
They wanted someone unobtrusive who would capture candid moments.

I’m new to the wedding industry. Before getting engaged I literally avoided any websites for weddings only because I knew, once I delved in, I would become obsessed…. And it’s true. Once I got engaged, I did become obsessed and luckily, about that time, I started working in the wedding industry. So my interest increased on two levels. Now I am a newlywed and still enjoying the industry. I love writing, social media and connecting to people; happily, I get to do all of this with ABG.
