Creative Duo: Meet Joe and Vickie
Joie Elie Photography, named after our two beloved daughters, Joie and Elie, is more than just a boutique photography and video studio—it’s a family-owned business with heart. Our mission is to deliver exceptional, personalized service while keeping your best interests at the center of everything we do.
Joe holds a Master of Fine Arts in Media Studies from Syracuse University and began his career in the fast-paced world of Silicon Alley, Manhattan’s advertising hub, in 1999. Vickie, with a BA in advertising, studied commercial photography and multimedia production. We met at a welcome party for new students at Syracuse University, where Joe swept Vickie off her feet with his roller-skating moves and humor—and the rest is history!
As 9/11 survivors, we launched our multimedia and graphic design business, VIG Designers LLC, in 2002, and later rebranded to Joie Elie Photography in 2010. Our strong academic training and years of hands-on experience in visual production have shaped us into storytellers committed to serving our clients with honesty, creativity, and integrity.
At Joie Elie Photography, we believe your love story deserves to be told through artful imagery and cinematic films. If you love what you see on our website, we’d be thrilled to connect with you.

When we’re not behind the camera, Joe loves immersing himself in cooking, playing cello and flute, diving into history books and documentary, and enjoying a game of racquet ball. Vickie finds joy in playing table tennis, listening to classical music and CCM, and expressing her creativity through writing.
