GET TO KNOW YOUR OTTAWA WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER

We are a husband and wife Ottawa wedding photographer duo. We’ve had the luxury of turning what started as a hobby into a rewarding and thriving wedding photography business that we are very proud of.

Firstly, what truly inspires us is pure emotion, as well as candid, authentic moments. The moments you never knew were captured until you looked at your photos and fell in love all over again. Our gallery is a great place to begin to see if our work speaks to you.

Our visual style was inspired by the countless moments we witnessed over the years and it undeniably evolved into not just photographing a wedding, but also focusing on relationships.

Lastly, what truly sets us apart as a team is our ability to see moments differently as our photography styles differ quite a bit. As a result, you get a male and female perspective of your day, allowing you to relive your day from both a female and male perspective, which adds more depth to the storytelling.

Our clients put their complete trust in us and that is the highest honor any wedding photographer can ask for. Delivering a couples gallery is by far the most rewarding experience we’ve had. Through our eyes, they are able to relive the moments and emotions of their wedding day captured in the most natural way.

Wondering what it’s like to work with us? It all starts with a fun chat to talk about your day. From there, we offer advice and suggestions to help make your day as enjoyable as possible.

Getting to know you is a huge part of how we document your day so be warned that there will be a lot of questions coming your way and we expect a ton from you as well.

Highly Recommend Joel and Jess!! The day went by so quickly so it was really special for us to be able to relive so many candid moments. We are still in awe of how beautifully they’ve have captured our wedding day. The emotion captured throughout is so raw and the photos tell the story of our day perfectly. We are so grateful that Jess & Joel were available to photograph our day. There’s not one photo that I wish we had. I am completely speechless! Thank you so much for everything – on the day and in production, and for making us feel so comfortable behind a camera (that we didn’t realize was there for most of the time)! We will continue to watch and enjoy our photos for many years to come!

“We are so happy to have chosen Joel and Jess to document our wedding day at Strathmere. They were wonderful from the beginning, both such wonderful people and really professional. After our engagement photo shoot we knew we had made a great choice. As a result, our photos are beautiful and really show true emotions between my husband and I. So many happy moments for us to relive forever.”

J&J quite simply are an incredible team. A loving couple who have a knowing eye for capturing those fleeting memories and moments of the wedding day you wish you could hold on to forever, like your dad wiping away a silent tear, or your best friend throwing her head back in laughter, or that nervous giggle the bride has before walking down the aisle. The pictures from our wedding at Billings Estate Manor truly tell the story of our day

Sopheap & Tosh

"We are so proud of the work that Joel & Jess did for us for our wedding day. We couldn’t be more thankful for the amazing professionalism as well as the patience and phenomenal eye they have through that lens. Our pictures are absolutely stunning and I couldn’t think of a better photography duo to have spent the day with. Our family and guests still rave about the photos and the special moments they captured. They got photos of everything we wouldn’t think of. Thank you from my wife and I for being a huge part of our big day. We are so happy to call them friends."
