LET'S GET STARTED

MODERN WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY

Your special day will pass by so fast that the last thing you want to worry about is stiff poses in front of a camera.

Dancing between documentary and editorial, my photos are for modern couples who want beautiful and captivating photographs that make them feel.

My approach focuses on expertly telling your story with artful excellence and purpose by preserving the genuine emotions, spontaneous interactions, and intricate details that make your wedding day magically yours.

Let’s transform those fleeting moments into timeless works of art.

THE EXPERIENCE

What is documentary-style photography?

Documentary photography is a genre of photography that aims to capture candid and spontaneous moments in a narrative form. This doesn’t mean avoiding the camera at all cost. Documentary photography means intentionally creating time in your day to truly soak it all in, to get lost in the moment, and to have a professional there to capture it all.

Meet your photographer

I’m Joanna, a documentary wedding photographer based in Calgary, Canada.

I’ve had a camera in my hands for as long as I can remember and I’m so fortunate to share my gift with couples in love! Over the years, I’ve developed a style that turns the seemingly small moments into pieces of art.

With an unobtrusive approach to wedding photography, I find the balance between gentle guidance and creative direction to give you photographs that you’ll treasure forever.

When I’m not photographing couples, you’ll find me exploring Banff, scouting the newest Calgary cafes, or learning how to bake. I’m a naturally curious person, always learning and exploring, and I’d love to hear about your vision on your big day.

MORE ABOUT ME!

"Joanna is very professional in all her correspondence and in person, she has wonderful communication and direction and is such a big help when you’re like me and my husband and don’t really know what you’re supposed to do on your wedding day. She assisted us with timeline, details, extra ideas, props and everything in between to give us the best outcome and we have always been so blown away and in love with the results.
I cannot say enough good things about Joanna, she really is a true gem of a person with exceptional talent and vision and I would recommend her to anyone for any photography needs without a doubt!"

“After looking at a lot of photographer options, we decided to go with Joanna because she is so sweet, easy going, and honest. When we got our engagement pictures back, we were blown away. After getting our sneak peek photos back from our wedding, We haven’t stopped looking at them. She did a beautiful job at capturing all the precious moments of our wedding day And listening to our requests of the photos we wanted together. Somehow, with the chaos of a wedding day with a big wedding party, unpredictable weather, And running behind schedule, she captured the most stunning pictures. We can’t wait to work with Joanna again! She is the absolute best! 🤍”
