Black & Gold Photography has pretty much captured every important life event for my family in the past 3 years. Engagement, wedding, maternity, and 1-year cake smash. My house is literally filled with photos taken by Joel or Cheryl. I highly recommend Black & Gold.

Joel and Cheryl were hands down just amazing. I don’t think there are possibly enough great things to say about them. They are so easy to work with and made everyone feel so comfortable. They are unique and creative, doing everything possible for an amazing shot. Everyone in our wedding party and in attendance at the wedding commented on how incredible they were even before seeing the final photos. Our album was delivered incredibly fast and everyone was shocked at how the photos turned out even more perfect than any of us had thought they could. These two go above and beyond to make your wedding day seamless and easy, and capture every moment so beautifully for the best memories! Thank you guys so much for everything it was such a pleasure to have you as part of our day!

Joel and Cheryl photographed our wedding in July 2019. We were blown away by their professionalism and quality of work. They were very responsive throughout the whole process, made everyone feel comfortable on our wedding day and our photos turned out absolutely beautifully, which we received back very quickly! We can't say enough about how talented and creative they are and how pleased we are with working with them. It is such an asset to have the two of them for your wedding. They each bring their own unique perspectives and talents and they work so well together as a team. We could not be happier with our experience with them. Thank you Joel and Cheryl for sharing in our day and capturing it so perfectly!

When I came across Joel & Cheryls Instagram page - black&gold photography. I instantly knew I wanted them to be our engagement/ wedding photographers. There is just something so unique that they bring to the table. In my opinion no one else compares. They were so quick to respond to any of our emails and always so friendly. I was so pleased with our engagement session, and it only took a week to receive those photos. Plus, on our wedding day they brought us a beautiful guest book of our engagement session for our guests to sign. Our wedding photos are so breathtaking and not a single moment was missed. I’m still in awe every time I look through them. Definitely something to cherish forever and I couldn’t be more happy we choose black&goldphotography. Thank you Joel & Cheryl for capturing every moment so beautifully. And just being so great to work with!! Can’t wait to work with you two again! :) - Ash & Tim

Joel & Cheryl are fantastic. My husband and I fell in love with their artistry before we were even engaged and it was a no brainer choice to book them for our wedding. They were so willing to go wherever we asked, had unlimited ideas for great shots and were so fun to be around. We also appreciated their helpful suggestions for what to wear, how to pose, what to expect, and their willingness to include our pups. The end results speak for themselves, and we highly recommend them.

Professional, friendly, easy to work with, and incredible photos! They were willing to come 2 hours out of the city for our photo session at no extra cost. We've had a great time working with Joel & Cheryl through our engagement session and can't wait for them to be part of our wedding day as our photographers next summer. Great value and we wholeheartedly recommend them for your event!

We love Black & Gold Photography! From family photos, to engagement & wedding photos, we have been blown away - with 2 shooters they are able to capture moments you never thought they would. Joel & Cheryl are so easy to get along with, give great direction to those who are camera shy/nervous and are always open to suggestions for different poses/shots! 3 of our friends have used Black & Gold as their wedding photographers and we would recommend them to everyone!

Tim Hiebert

Joel and Cheryl are incredible to work with, they added a level of fun and joy to our day! They captured every moment from two perspectives and two angles, which is so cool to see in the finished photos. They are super efficient in responding, coordinating and returning photos. Whether we had questions about their services or wedding stuff in general they were always available to help and offer new ideas! I’m so pleased with the quality and professionalism, would highly, highly recommend :)

From first meet to final follow up, Joel and Cheryl were an absolute dream to work with! Having 2 shooters ensured that not a single moment was missed, and ensured that we had many different photos and opportunities! My husband and I were thrilled to get our photos back so quickly. They were all perfect and really represented what our day was all about. We had so much fun with them, and appreciated that they had so many unique ideas that they ran with as well! I can't recommend them enough!

WHERE TO BEGIN! These guys are amazing ! Together they captured every moment perfectly !! I revisit the link to our wedding photos almost daily and each time find a new favourite. They make a great husband and wife team and arnt scared to go to high or low places to catch the perfect shot ???? Joel joined the guys in the morning and Cheryl joined myself and the ladies, it was fun for my husband and I to later see each other’s photos from being apart in the morning. They captured everything from getting ready, to the vows, to the dance party. So many compliments from all our family and friends about how perfect our photos turned out, we can’t wait to have some printed. We can’t thank them enough ! ????????????????????

Working with Joel and his wife Cheryl was first class service. Not only are they the nicest, down to earth couple and they're easy to work with, but their work is AMAZING!! After searching several websites looking for the perfect photographer for my wedding as soon as I saw some of a Joel & Cheryl's work I knew they were the one. I can happily say I did not make the wrong decision. They did our engagement/wedding day. We had so much fun shooting & the pictures turned out gorgeous. My wedding photos are absolutely stunning and we LOVE THEM!! I've gotten endless compliments on them and asked several times who did my photos. He captured the day beautifully. I'm so Thankful. If you want amazing photos look no further Black & Gold Photography is the one, I would recommend them to everyone!

Samantha Rempel

You guys did an amazing job of helping keep our day organized and easy. Thank you for helping to make it a day we will not forget. We would highly recommend Black and Gold photography to our friends and family! -Jade & Jordan

Cheryl & Joel are AMAZING to work with. We can't recommend them highly enough. They were thorough and detailed through the pre wedding planning process, and on our wedding day they were super great to have around - we hardly noticed they were there! Less than 1 week after our wedding we received a full online gallery of over 900 pictures from our wedding day - every single photo was amazing! We've received so many compliments on our photos and continue to share the amazing photos with our family and friends. We recommend Black & Gold Photography to all our friends!

Tyler Rempel

Used Black and Gold Photography many times and not only is their photos of great quality, but the service was fantastic as well. Would highly recommend them.

Jennifer Major

Joel & Cheryl at black and gold photography are nothing short of amazing!! They make you feel so comfortable in front of the camera. The day of our wedding, they made sure to capture every moment so perfectly and at every angle possible it seems. They never made us feel rushed to go take pictures, they just went with whatever we had planned for the day. Also, watching them work together as a couple/team is pretty amazing. They communicate so well with each other and everyone they’re photographing. If you’re looking for some wicked wedding photographers they are for you. Thanks again guys!!

My wife and I got married in August of this year and we can't say enough about how good Joel & Cheryl were. The engagement and wedding photos were all so beautiful that it's difficult to decide which ones to print. They made us feel comfortable throughout the entire day and were a lot of fun to hang out with. They strike the right balance between making sure you get what you want while also providing guidance when you need it. Our small wedding was in the middle of Bird's Hill Provincial Park with no shelter for our guests. The weather had cooperated for most of the day but right after the ceremony, it started to rain. We failed to plan for this but Joel & Cheryl jumped to the rescue by handing out umbrellas to all our guests. They stuck with us through dinner and even worked in a nighttime photoshoot in Upper Fort Garry Provincial Park. All in all, our experience was stellar and we will definitely hire them again in the future. The photos were amazing and they turned them around within 7-10 days. Thank you, Joel and Cheryl, for making our day so special.

Chad James

We hired Black and Gold for our wedding in 2016 and they were amazing. At the time, I primarily worked with Joel. He was quick to respond to any questions and made us feel very comfortable with the process. We also hired them in 2018 to do our family photos at our cabin and they were wonderful. I would recommend Joel and Cheryl for any of your photography needs!

Kelly Unrau

Joel and Cheryl were our photographers for our wedding and made the experience so much fun. These two are married so they show you how to pose like newlyweds, it's super cute actually lol. It also boosted my confidence since I didn't know how to position myself sometimes. They have amazing final product.. I highly recommend them.

Junia Friesen

We had a great experience with Cheryl and Joel for our engagement and wedding photos. They were organized and professional, yet very laid back and made us feel comfortable the whole time. It was great to have two photographers, as each got a different perspective and shot for the same pose. They were also available to answer any of our questions throughout the wedding planning process and very easy to work with! We were beyond thrilled with the resulting photos and have received nothing but compliments and amazement for our wedding photos.

Jade & Jordan

Could not have been happier with Cheryl & Joel as our wedding photographers. They are professional and organized. They create beautiful memories and have results back to you in a timely manner. Had complete trust in them.

Erin Duncan

We highly recommend Joel & Cheryl! You get 2 main photographers (husband and wife) that work so well together! They are unique and creative and captured our wedding perfectly. They are amazing!
