WEDDINGS
My top priority is to provide my clients with a wedding photography experience that is enjoyable, stress-free and focused on capturing the unique beauty of their special day. With my background as a former hair salon owner turned professional photographer, I have a deep appreciation for aesthetics and a discerning eye for capturing the most meaningful moments.
Working together with my fiancé Dana, we aim to provide a dynamic and respectful approach to our photography that perfectly captures the essence of the occasion. With over 12 years of experience in the wedding industry, I have refined my craft and approach to ensure that our clients feel comfortable, relaxed, and fully present in every moment of their special day.
As a female-male team, we strive to offer a harmonious and balanced approach to our photography, ensuring that we capture the unique love story of our clients in an authentic and respectful way. We take great care to curate a collection of images that convey the emotion and sentiment of the occasion, while also offering a candid and adventurous perspective.
When choosing a wedding photographer, it is important to find someone who understands your unique needs and vision for your special day. That is why I offer a no-obligation call to discuss your needs and answer any questions you may have. By working closely with you, we can create a Wedding Day Photography Timeline that ensures a relaxed atmosphere and allows you to fully enjoy every moment of your special day.
I am committed to providing you with an unforgettable wedding photography experience that captures the beauty and emotion of your special day.

LIFESTYLE
I specialize in capturing unique and genuine connections between families. My approach goes beyond simply taking pictures - I strive to create an experience that allows families to relax, have fun, and be themselves in front of the camera.
Capturing your family legacy through family pictures is incredibly important for several reasons. Firstly, it allows you to preserve memories and document your family's history, which can be passed down to future generations. These pictures serve as a tangible reminder of the special moments and milestones in your family's journey, helping to keep those memories alive for years to come.
Additionally, family pictures can help to strengthen the bond between family members. By capturing and celebrating the unique connections and personalities within your family, you are creating a visual representation of your love and support for one another. This can be especially meaningful during times of change or difficulty, as looking back at family pictures can provide a sense of comfort and reassurance.
Finally, family pictures can simply bring joy and happiness to your everyday life. Displaying these pictures around your home or sharing them with loved ones can help you feel more connected and grateful for the people in your life. Overall, capturing your family legacy through family pictures is a wonderful way to celebrate and honor the importance of family in your life.

BRANDING
Do you want to connect deeper with your audience? Do you want to tell your story, stand out by sharing what makes you unique, as well as scale your business in an authentic way showcasing exactly who you are? Then it's time to look legit and get some on-brand images to truly represent YOU. We can shoot everything from your headshots to your workspace to the products or services that you provide...and the creative process between it all. Let’s use this time to elevate the person behind the business and what sets them apart from all the other businesses. I work closely with clients to lay out outfits, locations, the shot list, props, and anything additional to really bring the vibe of the shoot into alignment with what you want to create.
You are what makes your business unique, so in order to attract your dream clients and stand out in your niche you need to communicate your authenticity and professionalism through your photographs and the imagery that represents you.
After your branding shoot, you will have a gallery of custom, cohesive images to pull from and use throughout your social media, website, and all your marketing needs as well.
*Sessions take 1.5 - 2 hrs // Investment is $797 + GST

MEET YOUR
HI! WE'RE JANINE AND DANA
As a couple in love ourselves, we've got the passion, chemistry, and photography experience to capture your special day through seamless teamwork.
Our photography style is COMFORTABLE, DETAIL ORIENTED, INTIMATE, AND PERSONALIZED, striking the delicate balance between respectfully unobtrusive yet assertive when necessary.
Most of the time, you'll hardly notice us as we work quietly to capture every nuance of your wedding day. But there will be times when we know the finished photo will be SO MUCH BETTER if we just get that random jacket out of the frame. And we won't hesitate to move it! Our goal is that you are able to be PRESENT for your wedding day, SAVOURING THE DETAILS as they unfold, while also enjoying the later result of a wedding album that becomes A LIVING MEMORY of one of the very best days of your life.
Come follow us on IG:
Will & J
"I am genuinely and completely pleased and thankful for the photos that you and Dana had captured during our wedding and afterward. You both did an amazing job of capturing that day exactly as I had hoped. What you managed to do was to see us as we see ourselves, a little silly, adventurous, smiling, caring, and loving; a little bit of chaos and a touch of class. The candid nature of many of the photos is so special to me. I believe that it is in these most unaware photos that we are able to see the genuine nature of the emotion, whatever it may be. On that day what the two of you captured in photos was 'us' and I can not thank you enough for having the vision to 'see' in this way.
I appreciate that you took charge when needed and at other times just let us play. The interactions that you and Dana had with myself and the families were great. The jokes, the directions, a little bit of silliness, and enough attitude and sass to fit right in. You two are awesome! I will definitely be sharing our experience with others and encouraging them to get in touch with you when they want some cool people to hang out with, that also just happen to take great pictures!"
CLIENT LOVE NOTES
-
How long have we been shooting weddings and how many do we shoot each year?This is the 12th season of weddings for Janine Deanna Photography and with an average of 10-15 weddings each season, we have had the privilege of shooting well over 250 weddings so far!
-
What’s in our camera bags:I've written a blog post on this! Click HERE to read more.
-
What happens if one of us gets sick (like deathly sick) and can’t shoot your wedding?The benefit of hiring two professional photographers is that if one of us goes down for some very serious reason (which has yet to ever happen) then there is another pro ready to shoot the day, without the quality being affected in any way. We would also pull in one of our personally trained second shooters to the shoot with us. We have shot many times with our small group of second shooters and they are trained to know our style and shoot for that result.
-
What happens if we get rained out on the wedding day?Mother Nature can be unpredictable and such a downer sometimes! With this in mind, we encourage all our couples to have CLEAR...not black, but CLEAR umbrella’s for them to use on the wedding day. Each couple should have their own umbrella. Example; if there are 12 in total (including the couple) then buy 7 umbrellas (1 extra in case) and then keep the tags on and the receipt handy in case you don't use them and can return them! Here is the link to some clear umbrellas on Amazon that couples have bought in the past: https://amzn.to/2KLQBtC
-
Do we shoot destination weddings?Oh YES!! We absolutely LOVE shooting destination weddings and our passports are always on standby! We shoot a selected number of destination weddings each season and are always looking to expand the places on the globe we can visit! At the top of our list is Croatia, Iceland, Ireland, and Greece! If we have never been to your destination wedding location, we offer 20% off our collection as a ‘first time’ rate. Our collections for out of province/country weddings are typically customized as ‘one size fits all’ never really seems to look good on anyone! Contact me with any details that you already have and I will start building from there.
-
How long does it take to get your gallery delivered?It depends on which month you get married, but typically you can expect to see your full gallery within a 6-8 week window. A small batch of teasers come within 1-2 days.
-
How many images do we deliver for e-sessions?On average 75
-
What is a first look and should we be doing one?A "first look" at a wedding is a special moment where the bride and groom see each other for the first time before the ceremony. It is typically a private moment, often arranged by the wedding photographer, where the couple can share an intimate moment and take some pictures before the ceremony begins. The first look is becoming increasingly popular as couples look for ways to make their wedding day more personal and intimate. It can be a beautiful and emotional moment, and a great way to calm nerves and set the tone for the rest of the day. 75% of the weddings we shoot are using the First Look Timeline. This is 100% a personal choice and one that I can walk you through in more detail if you'd like!
-
How much time do we need for pictures throughout the day?This is extremely subjective and unique to each couple and their wedding day details and logistics. One of our favourite parts of the wedding photography process is to work with our couples to create the perfect timeline! After booking, we set up a video call. On the call we go through all the details you already have, identify the logistics and then design a timeline around your details, The timeline will include flexibility, fluidity and buffer times in a way that helps our couples to FEEL PRESENT during the day and not rushed and anxious about moving from one thing to the next .
-
Do your prices include tax?No, our prices do not include tax the same way that when you look at a price tag at a store, the tax will be added at the register. All prices are subject to GST as per Alberta Law.
-
How many images will I get?On average, we estimate around 75 images per hour of shooting (approx 750 - 800 ish for a full day wedding with 2 photographers); sometimes more sometimes less. We try not to give a guaranteed number of images because it varies wildly from wedding to wedding. Numbers depend on how much time we’re shooting (traveling being considered), the number of details you require to be photographed, the number of locations we travel to and the amount of time we have at each spot. Also, we really have to consider in the cooperation and organization of the subjects we are photographing .
-
Can we bring our dog(s) to our pictures?From one fur child-parent to another, YES, YOU CAN! I LOVE my dog and he's such a huge part of our lives, so I get 100% wanting to have them as part of the pictures too! I have even created a PUPPY PREP-PDF for anyone bringing their puppy so that we can make it as awesome as possible!
-
Colour or Black & White?We use our discretion as to whether we process an image in colour or black and white. Some things just don’t look good in colour but black and white is breathtaking. Approximately 90-95% of the images are in colour and about 5-10% are in black and white, at our discretion.
-
What forms of payment do you accept?We accept email money transfer (preferred) as well as credit card. There is a 3% service fee for CC payments.
-
Can I just book an engagement session?Yup! You sure can. A la carte engagement sessions are available with me, Janine and I'd love to chat with you about bringing your E-Session vision to reality! This is where you can have a lot of fun and really highlight your personalities as much as you want to through locations, outfits, pets, etc.
-
Can I print my photos myself?Absolutely - you sure can! We give our clients full print release for personal use. Display them and share them however you'd like! The only exclusions are any reproduction for commercial or promotional use.
