Working along side Joy Thigpen has made me a better photographer, she's by far the best designer and
stylist I have ever worked with, not only is she the best of the best, but her personality and organic creativity is contagious.      --Jose Villa (who photographed the images above)

Very rarely do you come across a creative like Joy Thigpen. Her fresh and original approach to design is evident in everything she touches. Styling, photography, flowers, interior design, fashion, etc - I've never worked alongside any one with such an extraordinary gift for design. The girl is a brilliant creative. 
So much of the beauty you see on Once Wed is because of Joy and her incredible eye. I know without a doubt the site would not be where it is today without her talent! --Emily Newman, Editor of OnceWed.com
