A WITNESS TO LIFE'S MOST BEAUTIFUL MOMENTS
JOELLE CECILIA
Preserving stories of love, light, and connection — with timeless, heartfelt imagery.
I didn’t always know I would become a photographer.
My journey began unexpectedly, when a designer I once interned for invited me to return — not for design, but to help with her brand’s social media. During a new collection launch, she asked if I could capture a few photos. One of those images ended up on the front page of The Straits Times — a moment that quietly shifted the course of my life.
Photography, I realized, wasn’t just something I could do. It was something I was meant to do.
Over time, my path wove deeper into storytelling — drawn especially to weddings, where joy, love, and connection unfold in their purest forms. As a lifelong romantic, I have always marveled at the beauty of these celebrations.
​
And perhaps most poignantly — my mother once shared her regret about not having a photographer at her own wedding. The few photos she has are scattered, moments that can never be fully pieced together again. It's a quiet reminder to me, every time I pick up my camera, of how precious these memories truly are.
MY APPROACH
I believe that every photograph is a memory — a fragment of feeling, light, and time, preserved.
My work is grounded in observation: watching carefully, listening deeply, and capturing the moments that might otherwise slip away unnoticed. From the grandest celebrations to the quietest exchanges, I aim to create images that don’t just document — they remember.
Timeless, artful, authentic — always.
WHAT IT'S LIKE TO WORK TOGETHER
Clients often describe working with me as collaborative, meticulous, and deeply reassuring.
From our first conversation to the final gallery, my goal is simple: to create an experience where you feel fully seen, supported, and at ease — so that your photographs reflect not just how you looked, but how you felt.
Every detail matters. Every story is honored. Every frame is crafted with care.
BEYOND THE LENS
When I'm not photographing, you'll often find me immersed in other forms of art — dancing, making music, reading, or losing myself in a beautiful film.
These passions shape the way I see the world: with curiosity, with wonder, and with a deep love for stories in all their forms.
