Some friendships are written in the stars. Jazmin and Jamie's story began years ago, their lives intersecting through every significant moment life has offered—celebrations, weddings, births, and losses. There isn't a chapter they haven't experienced together.
Their partners, Tom and Keith, share a similar connection—best friends for over a decade, moving through life's milestones in parallel. Four lives intertwined, creating a foundation built on shared history.
Years back, Tom and Keith conceived Wijoi as a creative vision born from their passion for visual storytelling. But as commitments grew, the concept was set aside while they continued to refine their craft through major productions and build their expertise in the industry.
It was Jazmin and Jamie who rediscovered the potential. With over a decade of experience in the bar industry between them, they had mastered the art of creating memorable experiences and connecting with people in authentic ways. After both transitioning into marketing careers years ago, they recognized a unique opportunity to combine their backgrounds in hospitality, event planning, creative direction, and social marketing with their partners' visual expertise. This perfect blend of skills created the ideal foundation to revive Wijoi.
AND JUST LIKE THAT, WIJOI WAS REBORN.
What emerged was not simply a business, but a creative collective built on deep friendship, artistic vision, and understanding. With their partners' decade of experience spanning over 500 weddings, Wijoi became the natural next chapter in their intertwined journey.
When they document your celebration, you're not just getting photographers and filmmakers—you're getting storytellers who understand the significance of commitment because they've lived it together.
Passionate founder and marketing mogul who creatively breathes life into wijoi by transforming couples' dreams into reality through both strategic brilliance and artistic vision.

I balance creating magical wedding experiences with embracing life's adventures alongside my beloved fur babies. When challenges arise, you'll find me laughing instead of stressing—my secret weapon for both business and personal success. I've discovered that life's most enchanting moments often arrive unplanned, which is why I've mastered the art of riding the wave rather than fighting the current. My approach? Stay flexible, keep it authentic, and always be ready for whatever magic comes next.
