When it came to finding a photographer, the feeling was both overwhelming and stressful. Jo was one of the first photographers we reached out to and I could not believe our luck. She was super responsive and professional through her email communication and that was just the start. Meeting Jo for the first time she truly put us at ease. She made us feel comfortable, understood and we knew right away that we could not go wrong with our decision in hiring her.
We had our engagement photos completed first. Both my husband and I were quite nervous to be in front of the camera, but again Jo made us feel so comfortable and natural. We had a blast taking photos and she was so quick to provide us with a next day preview. We were both amazed looking through all the pictures! They were so stunning and we could not believe the talent and artistry of Jo.
Our wedding day experience was just as amazing. Jo was prompt on the day of, finding an amazing last minute spot for our first look which we never would have even thought of. She truly made our dream of having beach photos come true. Jo was everywhere throughout the day, capturing all our special memories.
Again, having the next day previews (80 photos!!) was so awesome! We were able to relive our special day and share photos immediately with family and friends. We now have all the photos back from the wedding in less than a month and could not be happier. The photos are perfection and we could not be more thankful to Jo for all her hard work and amazing talent in capturing our day!

Joanne was a delight to work with and gave us beautiful previews the very next day. All our photos turned out so beautiful - both the candids and the formals. We also got an engagement shoot included with our package which we loved and appreciated getting to work with her before our wedding. We adjusted our schedule 2 weeks before the day and Jo was super responsive and checked in with us about timing to confirm the details we wanted to capture. Overall great to work with.

If I could leave zero stars I would. Consistently over books herself promises you the world and once she has your Money your photos are under her control. Waited over 5 months to receive wedding photos. Two years later still battling her as she never sent us proper size digitally and we are unable to print good quality photos. She should not be a photographer.

The most important thing a wedding photographer can do is make you feel comfortable and at ease infront of their camera. From our first meeting with Joanne we knew that she would make us feel relaxed and that we would have fun while she captured our intimate moments. Joanne is bubbly, outgoing, and energetic - all of which was contagious. She was able to evoke the playfulness and love that we share as a couple but was simultaneously never intruding. Joanne was able to capture our best moments and get them back to us quickly. And of course, the photos were stunning.

We love our wedding photos! Joanne at Umbrella Tree is so talented. I really don’t like having my photo taken but Joanne makes everything feel so comfortable and natural. She is so open minded and is able to take the most breath taking photos. If you’re looking for a fun, talented and easy going photographer, look no further!

Joanne from Umbrella Tree is absolutely amazing! She did our engagement and wedding photos. She is so professional and great. Joanne made us feel so comfortable and we can’t wait to get more from her!

Joanne was the icing on my perfect wedding day. She is beyond professional but also feels like a friend from the moment you first meet. She was able to capture my camera shy husband's real smile on so many occasions.
She was very communicative before and after the wedding and was open to all suggestions of pictures I wanted. I would suggest her to all brides, couples and families. She is so lovely to work with and truly has an eye for capturing "that moment"

Our engagement photos are more breathtaking than I ever could have imagined. Joanne is flexible and easygoing and has an eye for the perfect lighting. She really listened to what WE wanted and didn't push her own agenda or personal preference. She provided so much input when we asked and was able to provide ideas for us when we weren't sure what we wanted. I'm so excited to see what amazing work she'll do at our wedding!! :)

It was a pleasure having joanne work with us, we had no clue what we wanted and she gave us great directiin and vision. When it was almost time for her to leave she let us know so she could capture bouquet toss and garter toss so we would have a few photos which was greatly appreciated.
We could have asked for a better photographer and the photos we have are beyond what my expectations were. Thanks again joanne.

We had a really involved wedding, with a very demanding schedule and many photo-shoots planned, with over 200 people in attendance. Joanne wasn't just a fabulous photographer, she helped keep me sane through a very insane day. She pulled the playful out of us when we weren't feeling it (we were both under lots of stress, not just from the wedding); got into the craziest of positions to get some beautiful and memorable shots, and interacted so well with our guests. Joanne has a gorgeous shooting-style, and an amazing eye for detail, which were the selling points for me when we were looking for a photographer. I highly, HIGHLY recommend Joanne to anyone who wants to be able to re-live the magic of their engagement session/wedding day (or anything else for that matter!) through the photos of the event years after the fact.
