About Gumorning Photography

Joyce Gu

Head Photographer

Hi! I’m Joyce. a wedding photographer based in Michigan. I love capturing movement in stillness — real emotions, fleeting moments, the kind of images that feel alive. To me, photography is about turning the “now” into something timeless. I’m a mom to two energetic boys and married to my best friend. They were my first inspiration behind the lens, and still are. Beyond photography, I’m a coffee lover, traveler, skier, flower enthusiast, and part-time explorer of hidden gems. Half introvert, half extrovert — always curious, always creating.

I am the creative force behind Gu Morning Photography, where artistry meets authenticity. With an eye for the honest, the timeless, and the beautifully unscripted, I craft visual stories that capture the essence of every moment. My work is rooted in creativity and a deep appreciation for genuine connection.

  • Joyce Made Our Day Unforgettable

    Verified review
    ChloeSep 27

    Choosing Joyce as our wedding photographer was easily one of the best decisions we made for teh entire celebration! Her creative vision and artistic eye are simply incredible; every single shot she delivered tells a story and feels like a genuine piece of art, not just a picture. But honestly, Joyce went so far beyond what we expected from a photographer. When we had a last-minute scramble for a hair maker and even a film maker, she jumped in without hesitation connecting us with amazing professionals at no cost, which was an absolute lifesaver. We are endlessly grateful for her talent, her generous spirit, and we'll cherish these photos forever.

    Joyce was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding. From our very first chat, her easy-going, thoughtful, and sincere personality immediately put us at ease, which was huge for us as we're not super comfortable in front of a camera. She was incredibly professional and organized throughout the entire process, even helping us with arrangements and picking the perfect ceremony time for the best posible results. Her communication was stellar, always timely and clear, and she somehow captured our unique story so perfectly in every single shot. We were truly amazed when she delivered our full gallery in just three days; it was an incredible experience from start to finish.
