My Grandmother gave me my first camera on my 11th birthday. I ran straight to the beach and took a photo of the sunset. I still have that photo and that camera saved til this day.
As the oldest of five kids and now with a family of my own, I fell in love with capturing authentic moments between my family. I like the in between moments, the ones people don’t often think to grab. I could spend hours looking at old photos and trying to remember what that moment felt like. My mother keeps boxes and boxes of prints in old hat boxes, a tradition I carry on today. My sisters and I go through them every so often, reigniting those memories in our minds. Turning moments in time into tangible keepsakes is something I’ve enjoyed as long as I can remember.
I grew up on Cape Cod where my mother has owned a wedding cake business for over 28 years. She started her business after making my first birthday cake and decided she would quit her job, stay home with me, and make cakes to support us. I started stirring mix and making sugar flowers as a young girl, and quickly moved to meeting with brides and grooms and helping plan their big day all before I graduated high school.
"Jocelyn did an amazing job at our wedding! Leading up to the big day she was accessible and easy to contact, she took my ideas and incorporated them into her shots, she was easy to communicate with and was a very soothing presence during the day amidst all of the competing priorities that come along with a wedding day.
She checked in often and went above and beyond with all of the photos she gave us. We are completely obsessed.
Thank you so much, Jocelyn!"

I’m not loud, my voice remains steady and calm in hopes to be a constant flow of tranquility throughout your day. I’ll carry bags, fix your eyelashes, touch up your lipstick, hold your veil, dry off your bridesmaids flowers, bustle your dress and anything else I can to make sure your day runs impeccably smooth.
But I’m not quiet either. I’ll be on that dance floor dancing and singing right alongside you while I snap away. I’ll chat with your grandma as she reminisces you as a little one. I’m immersed in your day in a way that is not intrusive but allows me to get a full range of images that feel incredibly authentic, as if experienced through the eyes of one of your guests. I enjoy the day just as much as you, because truly, I enjoy what I do.
Everything I do, I do with my kids in mind, because they are my legacy, and I have the honor of capturing yours. I think to myself, "if this were their wedding day, this once in a lifetime moment, how would I hope it to be captured?"... Then, I get to work.
