Miriam Joy | Wedding & Family Photographer

Wedding & family photographer based in Virginia & Maryland

Photographs are an invaluable way to remember our lives. From growing up, the two things we remember most are weddings and our families.

And as much as we’d love to pause time the only thing we can do is capture it—real, laughing, loving, and loved.

"Miriam captured us in a way that I loved!"

Miriam is an excellent photographer! I usually hate the way I look in photos, but Miriam captured us in a way that I loved! 110% recommend her, especially for couples & families! Literally so happy.

I've always been drawn to the in-between moments, and the connection between us and the people we love the most: our friends, our family, our best friends, and our ultimate best friend we decide to spend the rest of our lives with. I'm honored to capture these relationships and absolutely love what I do.

I'm not your very best friend (you're marrying them) or your BFF (they're probably in your bridal party). I'm carrying the gown train, laughing with the groomsmen, hyping up the bridesmaids, and getting creative with the details. I'm your grounded friend when you need me and a wallflower when you're spending time with everyone else at your special day.

Hey there! I’m Miriam.

"We couldn't be happier"

We had such a wonderful experience with Miriam! She was prompt, professional, and incredibly flexible when our family was running late. She worked so well with our special needs children, showing patience and kindness that put everyone at ease. The photos turned out beautifully, and we couldn’t be happier. Highly recommend!

It’s a lot of personalities (or a few really big personalities) and there’s always a lot we can do together.
