Violet Crowned Media

I’m Joe Strong, a Dallas-based videographer and photographer with a documentary heart and an editorial eye. I focus on real emotion—the moments that happen naturally, not on cue. Fluent in Italian and a Rutgers graduate in Supply Chain Management, I bring calm, structure, and adaptability to every wedding day. (In no small part to being the oldest of 10 children!) Through Violet Crowned Media, connection comes first. If we genuinely connect as people, no wedding budget is too small—because your story deserves to be documented with honesty and care.

What sets me apart is how I understand the weight of your day. As the oldest of ten children, I learned early how to read emotions, protect moments, and stay calm in beautifully chaotic environments. I document weddings quietly and intentionally—never forcing, never interrupting—so you can be fully present. With a documentary approach and an editorial eye, I focus on the moments you didn’t know anyone saw. Logistics, timelines, and hard-to-navigate locations don’t overwhelm me—they ground me. My goal is simple: to make you feel safe, seen, and free to feel everything.
