"Dear Joyce and Jessica,
I just wanted to email to tell you a huge THANK YOU for all of the
amazing pictures that you took at our wedding! First, we were simply thrilled to see
the link you sent us as we waited to board the plane for our honeymoon;
that has to be the fastest anyone we know has gotten their wedding
pictures back!! It was so
wonderful to be able to see them so soon after the wedding! But more importantly, the pictures are
just fabulous! We love them so
much. You both really captured our day perfectly. I find myself smiling so much as I look
through them. I particularly love the details pictures, the party
pictures, and the ones taken outside. But really - I love them all! Thank you
both so very much for working so hard that day! I can't tell you how much it means to us
:)"

| Joyce Billie (don't ask) Salsburg Heisen: I started Casual
Candids Photography in about 1976 because it had been my hobby from
childhood. I have a Master's
Degree in Educational Media from Temple University and a BA from the
University of Pennsylvania in American Civilization. Peter Heisen and I have been married
since 1964. Our son Christopher,
who lives in California with his family is Peter's partner in Edassess,
an assessment software business.
Jessica Heisen, our daughter, is my partner in Casual Candids. We all like to stay together! I enjoy visiting art museums with
friends and family members who can tolerate my slow perusal of the
artwork, I enjoy visiting with my two grandsons, I like to cook and bake,
and I love going to the movies!
Photographing events suits me because I am comfortable with the
sameness of events but innately curious about the differences: how
different people approach the same life transitions in different
ways. I photograph people because
I can't not photograph people. It
has forever been my pleasure to tell their stories!

Jessica Jane Heisen: I have been photographing events with
Casual Candids for about eight years and designing Artbooks for five of
those years. I have been
photographing people, places and things since high school. I have a BA in studio art from the
University of New Mexico majoring in art and photography. Lucy is my wonderful mixed breed dog. We found one another in Florida and
have been great buddies for the past 9 years. I live and work out of my home in the
East Falls section of Philadelphia- a real funky old rehabbed loft which
used to be a textile mill.
Throwing a great dinner party or exploring incredible Philadelphia
restaurants with friends is my idea of a wonderful time. I have traveled to Peru, Costa Rica,
Europe, Mexico, Israel and all over the US. One time I rollerbladed 60 miles over 3
days in Lancaster, PA. I love to
stay in shape by hiking, spinning and biking, but photographing a
reception is a close second. I
enjoy the energy and music because by that time of night, everyone is
relaxed and just plain having a good time being themselves and having a
blast. My favorite image? A few years back, I photographed a
couple seeing one another for the first time. They were truly exited and in
love. She took her shoes off on
the lawn behind the Art Museum.
The groom picked up his bride to be, and just swung her around in
his arms. I had the greatest
images of her in her fancy dress and cute dirty feet. It's still to this day one of my
favorites!
