Joel & Jess

Blending Joel’s architectural, moody photo-journalistic style with Jess’ tender, authentic, emotive imagery, we give you the most deliciously sweet and savory photographic experience that reflects both of your styles and personalities. We can help you celebrate that real partnership by delivering stunning imagery that captures you in your natural element, just as you are.

Together, we help modern brides and grooms have a relaxed & exceptionally fun wedding while quietly capturing split-second emotions and crafting timeless, compelling images that you will look back on and appreciate as you grow old together.

As a couple ourselves, we know how important connections are. That’s why we invite all our clients to join us for a consultation in our home for a chance to get comfortable, share stories, and get to know each other so you’ll know exactly who you are hiring.

By the time we shoot your wedding, we’ll feel like old friends. No more rotating door of awkward coffee shop photographer interviews – we give you more of our time, energy, and heart so we can blow your socks off right from the beginning!

Photography has been such a great creative outlet for me. It allows me to express myself through the stories I tell while photographing some fascinating people and events. It’s also a form of expression that brings so much comfort in my life and balances things out just right.

A lot of that has to do with the fact that I share this adventure with Jess. It is an incredible feeling to work with the person you love, doing what you love, and having the responsibility of documenting the moments that are so important in others’ lives.

On a personal level, I am a big softy and father to two amazing daughters. My favorite sport is hockey and I love being outdoors, active and spending some time in the gym. Ask me how that’s going lately. :). Spending time with Jess is always an adventure as we love camping, traveling, and cozying up on the couch watching our latest binge series. There is no supplement for quality time with family and friends and I make sure to incorporate both regularly.

I would love to get together and talk about your day, your vision and discuss how working with us will result in some of the most beautiful photos you’ll ever have.

Cheers!

Jess

This is the best job imaginable! I get to combine my love of weddings and helping people into one awesome job! Being a wedding photographer also allows me to spend every weekend photographing with my Hunny, how fun is that?

The planning process is something you never have to be shy to ask me about, I am pretty sure I was a wedding planner in a past life, and I am here for you! A little about me: born and raised in Ottawa, I am a daddy’s girl, a Taurus, and love my friends and family so much! My summers are spent on a patio watching the world go by. I am a simple girl with a big heart and value every person that comes into my life.
