Photography began to fascinate me when I was a little kid. It all started with an old manual film camera. It was my dad who first guided me along as I learned the art and science of making unforgettable pictures. Throughout high school and college I shot for my school yearbooks. This was a challenge which refined my ability to capture people’s personalities and memorable moments. In 2005 I completed photography training through the New York Institute of Photography, and in the same year I began shooting weddings professionally. Since then, it has been my joy and privilege to operate Persona Photography, a family-owned business providing wedding and portrait photography services in Southern California.

Our goal is simply to record, in beautiful photographs, you and the people you love during the wonderful and personally significant moments of your life.

We look forward to serving you!

 

Here is what some of our customers are saying:

"Pictures were creative and modern, yet still had the classics too!"

-Kari, Bride

"Joel was very creative with the shots. Both families were very pleased with how Joel portrayed the wedding--He listened to what we wanted and worked with us. We felt very blessed that he was able to come to Maryland to be our photographer on this once in a lifetime day! I am so proud of our wedding pictures, and love showing them to friends . . everyone is always impressed!"

-Cindy, Mother of the Bride

"We were very pleased with our photographs. Joel is a very gifted photographer who captures moments you wouldn't most likely notice. His diversity and uniqueness make his work stand out. I would highly recommend him."

-Alison, Bride
