I knew I heard that name before… when Rosanna (Fellow photographer and coordinator at Mike Colon’s Atlanta Workshop) mentioned Joy Thigpen. Rosanna went on to describe how AWESOME Joy is and that she had worked with Jose Villa! I look at magazines all the time (well, STUDY) and especially LOVE Southern Weddings Magazine. I still have its FIRST issue – cover photographed by film photographer Jose Villa and styled by Joy! I thought ‘WOW.. One day, I dream about shooting a wedding like this’. Well, this is close enough : )
When it came time to head over to Waters Mill for our STYLED wedding shoot, I could not wait to see THE Joy Thigpen herself in action and her ‘Organic Elegance’ vision. She was hard at work along with two of her assistants- crafting, designing…. everything from the bouquet to the tablescape and the ‘bride’.
Joy: What an honor!
