When they’re not doing photo-booth, Patrick and Joy spend their time taking care of their now 3 year old son. They also enjoy the outdoors through sightseeing and traveling. They enjoy cooking and eating, singing karaoke, and meeting new people. They also spend many hours in their financial ministry, as they teach financial concepts and techniques to help families get a better grasp of how money works, and therefore plan better for their financial future.
History
Joyfully Yours Productions began in 2013 and is the realization of a dream to bring to Southern California this type of photo-booth experience; high quality, spacious, and of course, super fun, that Patrick experienced while vacationing in the Philippines to attend a wedding during his college days in the mid 2000’s.
Not having the resources at the time to start his own photo-booth, his dream finally came to life in early 2013 during a conversation with his then girlfriend, Joy. She told him that she had a dream that they owned and operated a photo-booth rental service. He immediately remembered his first photo-booth experience during that wedding in the Philippines and immediately began putting together what is now Joyfully Yours Productions. Joy, on the other hand, has witnessed countless weddings being the daughter of a pastor.
Having attended so many weddings in just a span of 1-year, Patrick became so inspired that he finally asked for Joy’s hand in marriage. And until this very day, bringing a smile to people’s faces still brings so much JOY to the loving couple.
