Analisa Joy Photography

If I could give an even higher star rating than ⁵⁄₅ for Analisa and Analisa Joy Photography, I would! She is just hands-​down the BEST and so amazing to work with. From the very beginning, we knew we had made the right choice for our wedding photographer. We used Analisa for our engagement pictures, and instantly fell in love with her photography, personality, and skill. Leading up to the wedding, Analisa was so sweet and amazing to work with and made sure we had everything down and ready to go by the big day. When the day came, the room lit up when Analisa entered. It was like she was one of our long lost friends! We had so much fun working with her and having her take our pictures. Everything felt so comfortable and natural. When we got our pictures, we were ever HAPPIER we had chosen Analisa. She has a legitimate God-​given talent and was able to give us the most perfect wedding photos. Thank you Analisa!

Analisa is the BEST! There is nothing more to say than that. From the beginning at our first meeting in Panera you would have thought that we had all been friends for years. It was the best vendor meeting I had in the entire experience because Analisa is just so lively and has the best personality. Our engagement session at Lake Arrowhead was so much fun. The amount of laughing that went on probably scared all the wild life away. And then the day of could have not been any better. Its not joke how many pictures you take the day of your wedding but between Analisa and Lindsee it could have not gone any smoother nor could it have been any more fun than it was. She is amazing and you will not regret booking her for any of your picture needs. Like I said… She is the BEST!

When I sat down to plan my wedding, having the best photographer was the number one, most important thing on my list. Everyone always says, «your wedding day will fly by.» So I wanted to make sure I had the very best pictures to help make the memories last. I knew I had to have Analisa. I booked her immediately and started counting down the days till our engagement session. My fiancé and I just had our engagement session with Analisa and I already can’t wait to spend my wedding day with her! Analisa made me feel so confident throughout our entire session. She was even able to bring my reserved fiancé out of his shell. We left wanting to hang out with her everyday! She has a true gift when it comes to photography. Analisa’s photos always capture the best angles, light and color. Her ability to connect with her clients is right up there with her photography Jedi magic, making her the only choice to capture all those special moments in life. Thank you Analisa! We are so blessed to have you there for our special day!

Thank you wouldn’t be enough! Analisa was an absolute JOY to work with! We honestly couldn’t have anticipated for any better of a shooting with anyone else. She’s a true GEM! As my fiancé & I got into the car& headed home after the session, immediately we felt the same connection. Analisa warmed our hearts! It’s so amazing that one person, within a couple of hours, could do so much to ones heart! My fiancé & I had never taken professional photos (we’ve been together almost 5 years!) so we weren’t too sure what to expect but Analisa took that experience above & beyond for us. She makes you feel comfortable, excited, confident & just even more in LOVE! We truly appreciate her, her smile &her ora! Also, the sweetest thing, as she’s editing the photos from your session, she sends little teasers which seriously made my fiancé & I speechless to receive the SAME day as our session! The quality of work she does is incomparable. We CANNOT wait to do more work with her& see the rest of the photos from our sessionThank you again, Analisa!

I came across Analisa’s photos when looking at pictures of my wedding venue and immediately knew she was the one. I didn’t bother to look at any other photographers and took a leap of faith. Best decision I have EVER made. From the second I met her I knew I had a lifelong photographer. I can never thank her enough for all the beautiful photos and great memories shooting with her. My wedding day was so much fun with her there. I felt like I had an old friend there with me shooting all of these important moments of my wedding. Future brides, don’t miss out on meeting this wonderful women who will make your wedding day so much fun!

As much as I dislike taking pictures, Analisa made it so easy and fun. Not only was the work amazing, but the fun and happy attitude she had all day was awesome. Highly recommend her for engagement and wedding!

I was so excited the first time we had the opportunity to have Analisa photograph us. It was for our engagement and the day after we were engaged I contacted her. My husband was a little nervous in front of the camera at first but by the end he was making arrangements to meet with Analisa for another photography session. We really enjoyed our experience and I knew once I saw our photos she would be our lifelong photographer. Her work is incredible. She takes the time to make sure every picture is just right. She has great ideas and every session just flows. Yesterday we had a family photo shoot that was so fun! Even though there were seven of us, she took the time to fix all of our hair, necklaces, shirts, and everything! She had great ideas and we laughed the entire time! When you see her photos, you feel as if you were right there. You can feel the emotion through her photography and she goes out of her way for her clients. She is worth every penny and she truly loves what she does! She is an amazing person inside and out and will never leave you disappointed! Analisa makes it an unforgettable experience that you will never forget!

Analisa is an absolute JOY to work with ;) my fiancé and I were super nervous to do our engagement session because we are not comfortable in front of a camera. Analisa took charge and started asking us questions about our big day and without knowing it we were taking pictures like pros! I loved that she actually directed us and instead of saying «look romantic» she posed us, fixed my hair, straightened his shirt and made us feel natural in front of a camera. I would recommend her to anyone who needs a photographer, I walked away feeling beautiful and confident. We love her!!!

I have known Analisa since middle school and she is the nicest person ever. She is literally THE BEST photographer and has THE BEST sense of humor. She cracks jokes and says the funniest things to make you feel comfortable while taking millions of pictures. She definitely makes things entertaining and she knows exact what to say and how to pose you in order to capture a great and natural shot. Her assistant photographer Chelsea is just as great. The two of them together are a dynamic duo! There is no comparison between her pictures and those of other photographers– so sharp, the coloring and lighting is absolutely flawless. She makes you look amazing in every single picture. Analisa photographed our engagement photos as well as our wedding day photos and my husband and I could not be any happier. She is worth every single penny and you will not regret booking her. We can’t wait to book her again someday in the near future. Thank you Analisa, we love you!

I’ve been wanting to work with Analisa since I first saw her work over 2 years ago. When my fiancé and I finally got engaged last year, she was the FIRST email I sent when it came to planning our wedding.
Yesterday we had our engagement shoot and although our original location got rained out, Analisa gave me several different options and the place we chose together was a DREAM. (Honestly, it was probably better than our original location.)
My fiancé is a little shy and was nervous about having his photo taken and within the first five minutes Analisa made him feel comfortable and had him laughing! The two of them became fast friends. He was even talking about our «next shoot» with her before we were even done!
Analisa is beyond sweet and so professional. She kept us moving and laughing so we never felt awkward or stiff.
We had the BEST experience with her and can NOT wait for our wedding next June!
Not only will our pictures be amazing, but she is truly a JOY to be around and is going to be the perfect addition for our big day.
Afterwards at dinner my Fiancé and I were gushing about how much fun we had and all kinds of different ideas for shoots we could do with her after the wedding and beyond. We have definitely found our life-​long photographer.
I wish I could give this review more than 5 stars because she deserves 10!
I will recommend Analisa Joy Photography to all of my friends and family. If you’re reading this and looking for a photographer, quit your search, she’s the one!
Thanks again Analisa!

Analisa truly was a joy to work with. She made the whole process as easy as possible and was so friendly, welcoming, and professional. We were nervous to shoot for our engagement photos, but she made the entire process fun and memorable. We will definitely be contacting her to shoot future events. Analisa has a true passion for what she does and I would highly recommend anyone and everyone to contact her for any photos that need to be taken. My fiancé and I were not entirely sure what type of setting we wanted for our shoot, but after looking through Analisa’s website and sample photos she had taken, it made our decision easy and extremely helpful. She really is the best! Thank you Analisa for everything!

Analisa was absolutely wonderful! She was professional, accommodating, patient and her excitement for photography made taking pictures on our wedding day so much fun! We are so thankful to have had her!

I knew I wanted Analisa to photograph our wedding before I was even engaged! I didn’t even consider anyone else because her photos are not only crisp and beautiful but so full of life! Her talent is obvious and on top of that she is an amazingly kind, professional and caring person. My husband and I aren’t very comfortable in front of the camera and I was worried that our awkwardness would show in the photos but Analisa and Cheslea made it fun, helped us relax and directed us to different poses and locations. They made it so easy! I am in LOVE with all our photos and would recommend her hands down without a doubt to anyone! Thank you for capturing the best day of our lives and giving us a lifetime of memories!

Analisa is beyond perfect! From the moment we arrived at the shoot to the moment we left she made us feel so comfortable and was so professional and personable. We were a little worried that an engagement shoot may be a little awkward… with Analisa it was anything but awkward! We had such an amazing time with her and we are beyond excited and honored to have her shoot our big day next year! Our engagement photos came out amazing. Analisa really exceeded all of our expectations. We feel so lucky to have found her! Thanks Analisa :)

Words cannot describe the perfection of Analisa. All of our wedding photos came out absolutely beautiful. I find myself running out of frames to put all the pictures in. She is such a delight to work with. She makes everyone feel so comfortable in front of the camera. The first time I met Analisa was for our engagement photos. After 10 minutes of meeting her, it felt as if she was an old friend. Highly recommend Analisa.

There are no words besides perfection that describe Analisa! We were a referral from Instagram and I can’t tell you how blessed we were to find her. My husband and I have paid for many events with photographers and she is in our top two for sure! She was professional and so sweet-​spirited. She knew exactly what places on the beach to go for amazing pictures. My son is almost 7months old and she was able to photograph him and our family flawlessly. She took the time to edit every photo and we couldn’t be more happier! She will forever do our photos when we are in Cali! Thanks Analisa!!!

Analisa and Chelsea were absolutely the best to work with! I had booked with another photographer but after receiving our engagement photos I knew I couldn’t have him do my wedding. I was a 4 months out till my wedding and as fate would have it, the best photographer in town was still available. Major props on a few things! 1) both my husband and I are shy yet she got the best out of us for some amazing shots! 2) I am not a planner, so the wedding day was super rushed and I was a bit in over my head, Analisa and Chelsea were able to calm me down and help me to relax and enjoy the moment. 3) I sent a «must-​have» list but because the day was rushed, I thought there were many we missed THESE GIRLS somehow managed to still get my must haves without me even knowing it! I started crying when I saw those pictures on her blog. 4) the amount of fun they brought to the reception was off the charts! Watching my wedding video they were making me laugh at loud because they were dancing, wearing silly hats, chasing me down to help me with dress, etc.
Hands down the best, thank you so much for everything ladies! I need another excuse to work with you in the near future!

Analisa has an amazing eye when it comes to getting the perfect pictures she did
my husband and I’s engagement pictures and wedding pictures and they turned out amazing she is worth every penny. I didn’t trust anyone but her to do our pictures. She is very fun to work with and very professional and prompt. I will definitely being using her in the future for family

Wow, Analisa is such an amazing photographer! As I am in the process of planning a wedding, photography is a very important part for me. We just recently took our engagement photos and I cannot tell you how unbelievable they are! We decided on a location and Analisa went out there early just to scout out the perfect setting for us! I told her I wanted to do engagement photos in a forest, yes a «forest» in San Diego, among other settings. And boy did she find it! I was so pleased with the entire look.
I thought the engagement photo process was going to be very awkward, but Analisa knew exactly what to do and made us feel very comfortable. The pictures came out very natural and romantic (exactly what I told her I wanted). We had so much fun! Analisa is so personable and I felt like we instantly became best friends. I cannot wait for her to capture all the memories at our wedding.

Analisa was a pleasure to work with when doing our family photos.
Our (almost) 3 year old daughter is usually quite difficult to get good photos of, but she warmed up to Analisa almost immediately and by the end of our session was walking around holding Analisa’s hand! Too cute.
Analisa was very calm and patient, but also very organized and gave us really good directions which made the photoshoot totally enjoyable!
Her pictures speak for themselves, and the ‘work’ to get that end result was fun & I look forward to our next family picture session with Analisa!
