We’re Javee and Natalie

husband-and-wife team capturing real moments, real love, and all the in-betweens.

We’re Natalie and Javee, healthcare workers by training and storytellers at heart. What sets us apart isn’t just that we offer both photography and videography, but the way we approach our work: with calm energy, clear communication, and a deep commitment to quality. Our experience in healthcare taught us how to stay composed in high pressure moments, connect with people from all walks of life, and bring a sense of calm to even the most fast paced days. Now, we bring those same values to every wedding, session, and celebration we document.

JV Films started with Javee’s passion for videography over eight years ago, capturing everything from weddings to travel films. When we met, Natalie fell in love with the creative process too, and quickly found her voice through photography. We joined forces behind the camera and haven’t looked back since.

In 2023, we became parents to our son, Avery, a reminder every day of just how fast time moves. That’s why we do this work: to help others hold on to the moments that matter most.

Our approach is laid back and genuine. We’re here to help you feel at ease, be present, and truly enjoy your day, knowing you’re in good hands. Whether it’s an intimate elopement, a big wedding celebration, or a quiet family session, we show up with intention, artistry, and heart.

We’re so glad you’re here, and we’d love to tell your story next.

XO, The Javiers
