Years ago, someone called me gasoline. At first, I didn’t get it, until they explained that I’m not the life of the party, but the one who makes everything burn brighter. I embraced that!

I’m the friend who turns a simple trip into an epic adventure and the one who gets just as excited about your big dreams as you do. Whether it’s cheering you on for your next life move or helping you see just how awesome you are, I’m here to throw fuel on your fire and watch you shine.

He y, I'm Justine!

My Approach

Your wedding isn’t just an event; it’s a collection of once-in-a-lifetime moments. And I get the honour of deciding which ones get frozen in time. That’s not something I take lightly.

That’s why I’ve become intentional about the weddings I take on. I don’t want to just show up, snap photos, and move on. I don’t want to be just another vendor. I want to be fully present—with you, for you.

I want to know the nuances, the relationships, the inside jokes, and the little stresses that matter, so I can capture the moments that actually feel like you. The way your partner squeezes your hand when no one’s looking. The look your best friend gives you before you walk down the aisle. The ridiculous dance moves that only come out after a few rounds of shots. 

And when the plan inevitably goes out the window? I’m already working on Plan B (and laughing with you through it). Because the best moments aren’t always the ones you plan for; they’re the ones that just happen.

This is what I love most about what I do; the people, the stories, the memories that deserve to be remembered exactly as they felt. And I’d love to be the one to preserve them for you.

Your wedding day shouldn’t be a blur you barely remember; it should be a feeling you can relive, over and over.

After 15 years of photographing weddings, my perspective has evolved. At first, I was all about the details; the Pinterest-worthy décor, the dreamy artistic angles, the styled shoots. And while those things still have value, I’ve learned they aren’t what truly matters.

What matters are the tearful hugs with Grandma, the ones you’ll hold onto long after she’s gone. It’s the flower girl dancing on your feet, who somehow just blinked and is now graduating high school. It’s the candid laugh with your maid of honour before life got busy with kids and careers. And yes, it’s even the moment your best man decided to moon the bridesmaids from the limo (because let’s be honest, that one’s going in the wedding hall of fame).

Weddings aren’t just about the photos; they’re about the people, the memories, the moments that will mean even more as time passes. And I’m here to capture them all.

Your wedding day is meant to be experienced fully. Not spent posing. Or worrying about whether the moments are being captured.
