I used to produce and plan tens of weddings in downtown West Palm at a 4-5 star venue. During covid-19 I developed my videography skills alongside fitness influencers and branding and brought my new skillset into the wedding industry and have shot my handful of weddings. A little about me: I am a Tampa Bay grown, soflo living videographer, a master's student in mental health, hold a BA in media from PBAU, and surf in my free time. I love God, people, family and friends above all.

“Choosing Joel was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding day! Being 7 months pregnant on our wedding day, I was worried about how i'd look in photos, but Joel was so thoughtful about capturing special moments that celebrated us exactly as we were. His eye for detail really shines through in every single shot, and the final photos are genuinely some of the most beautiful we've ever seen. Joel wasn't just behind the camera, he was present and kind the whole time, which made the day feel less stressful and more joyful. We can't recommend NickFlicks highly enough.”

I first realized that I loved photography back in 2011 when a couple friends and I went to Jacksonville beach. That is where I took my first favorite photo on the beach. My friend made a joke saying she found her personal photographer because the photo was so good. I was always the friend that love taking the photos, getting all the crazy angles laying on the ground, standing on top of things doing everything to get that perfect shot.

I live in Ocala with my husband and best friend of 20 years. We have six children- three boys and three girls- which means I know a thing or two about how challenging it can be trying to figure out what to wear when you're a mom of little ones. I've been photographing families for several years and have loved every minute of it. I love taking photos of real people doing real things because it shows their true beauty, not just what they want you to see. My goal as a photographer is to capture those moments that make your heart smile or cry, those moments that bring back memories, laughter, or joy.

“Where do I begin…I had an amazing experience with Becky from start to finish. Everything was handled professionally with great attention to detail. She captured our special day which really shows in how natural and relaxed the final images were. The prints were absolutely stunning, beautifully edited high-quality, and delivered on time. You can tell she truly went the extra mile to capture and embrace our special moment. I highly recommend Becky to anyone looking for a creative Photographer I’ll definitely be booking again in the future”

“I without a doubt did the right thing by hiring Jones Media and choosing both Regina (photographer) and Kevin (videographer) to shoot our vow renewal at Paddlefish at Disney Springs in Orlando, FL. They both brought the energy and the hype, and they have the absolute best personalities. They were incredibly professional the entire time, and I had no idea that they had never worked together before my event! They collaborated seamlessly, bouncing ideas off one another and making everything even more perfect. They honestly didn’t feel like hired vendors—they felt like guests we invited who were having just as much fun as we were, while still staying completely on task. To top it off, they are complete lifesavers. The night before our renewal, we hit a major hiccup. Due to a last-minute policy change at our Disney resort, our third-party vendors were suddenly not permitted on the property. With no other choice, I had to cancel our resort reservations late at night and move everything back to my parents' timeshare. I immediately messaged Kevin and Regina about the last-minute location change. The next morning, they both showed up right on time and completely ready to go. Because we kept our original timeline, the new location meant we were a little farther away from the venue, but neither Kevin nor Regina ever made us feel rushed. We just pivoted, and they went completely above and beyond—even staying a little past their scheduled end time to make up for the chaos the night before. In the Disney world, we call that Pixie Dust, and they definitely brought it with them. If I had to do this all over again, I’d choose them again and again. I can’t wait to see how the final photos and video turn out. Thank you, Jones Media!”

“Dana was the most incredible photographer I could have asked for. I've always been super shy in front of a camera, so I was nervous about looking awkward on my wedding day. But from our very first Zoom call, to our engagement session, and finally our wedding day, she made me feel completely comfortable. She is the ultimate hype person and brought such a positive, calming energy throughout the entire experience. She even helped make sure I had my drinks all night! When my necklace broke right before the ceremony, she immediately jumped into action and worked with my bridesmaid to fix it. When my veil fell off right before I walked down the aisle, I started feeling overwhelmed and Dana immediately reassured me and helped me feel calm again. Dana truly went above and beyond to make sure I had the best day possible, even if it meant stepping outside of what we had originally planned. I appreciated her flexibility, kindness, and genuine care for us. She was always incredibly responsive to every message, and she brought our vision to life even better than I imagined.
