When Planning Your Wedding, the Question You Should
Always Come Back to is “DOES THIS FEEL RIGHT?”
And if the answer is anything other than a resounding “Hell yeah!” it’s gotta go! I’m all for serving couples who are focused on enjoying their experience, prioritizing a relaxed timeline filled with fun and intention, and making memories out of the little moments. It’s about cherishing the experiences you adore, immersing in the activities that bring you joy, and letting the day unfold naturally. Your wedding should reflect your essence, not a strict schedule. The driver’s seat is the only place you belong when planning your wedding.

“Janine is not only amazing to work with, but her work is stunningly poetic. Her creative eye makes her dive deep into each detail, really perfecting each photo while maintaining the integrity and truth to who she is shooting. But this eye is what makes her photos so artistic and special. And that’s what photos should be. Beyond just memories, photos should be artistic and make you feel something. Photos should tug at your heart in a way that you want to put them on your walls or share them with friends and families. The essence of Janine’s work makes you truly feel emotional and see yourself and the people you love and what you truly are: beautiful.”
– Hanna & Adam
“Our entire gallery is so beautiful! You can feel the emotions of the day when you look at her photos. She took so many amazing photos of us as well as our guests that we will cherish for a lifetime. She somehow captured every moment and emotion in even more detail than we remembered. And her editing is so rich and vibrant while keeping the photos natural to the environment you’re in. Janine is so talented and passionate at what she does. We 1000% recommend hiring her whenever you want your memories captured. She is a true artist and professional.”
– Heidi & Cory
“The best storytellers create not only beautiful images, but capture the emotion of the moment. Janine did just that. We’re transported back to those precious hours when we look back at our engagement and wedding photos. Janine is so easy to work with. She makes you feel at ease in front of the camera and hypes you up! She captures candid moments without realizing she’s there. She’s communicative and responsive, and easy to connect with. She prioritizes that both you and your partner experience your wedding day, instead of posing in front of a camera. You can sense her passion for celebrating the lives of others through her photography. Don’t hesitate to hire Janine. She’s a gem and SO MUCH FUN.”

Destination Weddings & Custom Collections
As someone who planned their own destination elopement, I’m all for you choosing an epic location to celebrate your marriage. If you’re interested in having me photograph your destination wedding or elopement, you can inquire with me for a quote! Additionally, if you’re hosting a local wedding but none of the collections above seem like the right fit, I’d love to put together something totally custom to whatever you need.
READY TO HAVE WARM, WHIMSICAL, and soulful Photos of Your Absolute Dream Day?
Here’s what happens next:
01 – Inquire:
Once you inquire through my contact form, I’ll be in touch with any additional relevant information so that you have everything you need to know! P.S. – I’ll also send links to full wedding galleries. In my first email to you, I include handpicked galleries that resonate with the vision of your day, giving you a glimpse into how I capture the essence of every unique celebration – that’s where the storytelling really comes to life.
02 – Chat:
Next, we’ll schedule a Zoom or phone call to have a big chat about what you’re envisioning and value most. I’ll also be able to answer any questions that come up and get to know you on a deeper level!
03 – Support:
If we decide we’re the right fit for each other (as long as you’re planning a day totally true to you, we definitely will be), I’ll send over the contract + invoice to make things official. From that point until after your wedding, you’ll get unlimited support from me!
04 – Celebrate!
With me by your side, you’re not just having a wedding; you’re creating an unforgettable tapestry of laughter, tears, and joy, perfectly mirroring the day you’ve always dreamed of.
But What If We Want Great Photos and LOTS OF QUALITY TIME WITH OUR GUESTS?
Get ready for your mind to be blown – you can have BOTH! With the way traditional weddings have always gone, many couples don’t realize that they have complete and total autonomy over how their days goes. Remember, the choices are yours and yours only in selecting unique preferences that will transform the celebration in beautiful ways. And, in case you haven’t figured it out by now, my entire philosophy as a wedding vendor is centered around advocating for literally whatever you want. So yes, you can have both, and no one should make you feel bad for it! (And if they do, you better send ‘em my way)
You MIGHT HAVE
some Questions
01. How would you describe your style? Do you photoshop us?
With utmost care and attention to detail, I focus on documenting your wedding day with a mixed storytelling approach, with a bit of guidance along the way. I know being in front of the camera can make people nervous, but trust me, there's nothing to worry about! I won't pose you from head to toe all day, but give you just enough guidance to feel relaxed and confident. My biggest priority is to make sure that you're enjoying and experiencing your wedding day, not posing for a photo shoot.
When it comes to editing, my style is very true to life. I focus on maintaining the colours that you've so carefully curated for your wedding day and representing everything in an authentic way.
While I do remove some distracting elements and slightly retouch minor imperfections, photoshopping is not what I’m about! I work best with couples who don’t mind a few hairs out of place, a drink in your hand here and there, and any other instances that occur while you’re living in the moment and not hyperfocused on photos (I promise you’re always gonna look great).
02. Do you deliver RAW/unedited images?
No, I never deliver unedited images. If you’re hiring me based on my style, then half of the magic in the editing process!
03. We're considering a destination wedding. Do you travel? Do you have any bucket list locations?
HECK YES! Sign me up. I've photographed weddings and sessions in various places around the world (my favourites being Paris and New York) and would be so excited to help you plan your elopement or destination wedding elsewhere.
In alignment with my mission to explore as much of this big beautiful earth as possible, I offer reduced photography rates for couples getting married at any of the following locations:
Ireland | Scotland | New Zealand | Denmark | Switzerland | Italy | Acre Baja Hotel + Restaurant in Baja, California
