Reviews of Jaymarie Studios (Photo Studio)

Julie Williams

Growing up, home movies were a huge part of my childhood so I knew that when I got married that I wanted to capture the day on video. I am SO happy that we hired Justine as our cinematographer. From our first meeting to the day of the wedding, Justine was simply fantastic to work with. Most of the time we didn't even know the camera's were there, and that made for some spectacular clips. I have already watched our wedding video several times and can honestly say that without it I would have missed out on so many special moments that can blur together on the big day. Everyone who I have showed the video to has been blow away by the quality and many wish they had also hired a cinematographer for their wedding. If I had to give future brides one piece of advice, it would be to hire a cinematographer, specifically Justine, you will not regret it!!!

Justine was everything we hoped for in our family photo session... she was fun and interactive with the kids, she accommodated all the poses we wanted, and most of all she proceeded high quality images that we fell in love with! We'll be repeat customers for sure. Thanks Justine!

Bethany Krukowski

Absolutely LOVE our photos from our engagement shoot with Jaymarie Studios! She was so great to work with and made the whole shoot really enjoyable! I highly recommend her!!

Amy Berard

From our first meeting with Justine, we knew she would be great. She was personable and knowledgeable. When it came time to book our engagement photos, she was flexible with our schedules and was easy to get in contact with. She often responded the same day. On our wedding day she was on time and a lot of fun to work with. It was so easy to work with her! We will definitely be using her in the future.

Trisia Kimmy

The pictures where seriously the most amazing boudoir pictures ever, soooo worth the investment. I highly recommend Jaymaire

Karlee Schmidt

Amazing! From the start, Jaymarie studios has been incredibly friendly and responsive to any questions we've had. During our engagement session, Justine had great ideas for locations and made my fiancé and I incredibly comfortable infront of the camera. She makes the session feel very relaxed and really captures personality within her photos. We are more than thrilled to have her photographing our wedding in 2017!

Leah Lee

Justine did an absolutely beautiful and impressive job with our engagement photos - She made sure my fiance & I felt comfortable throughout the whole session. Not only does she have a patient and open minded personality, but she is an extremely hard worker. We were scheduled to have her for 2 hours but she went over and beyond by staying an additional 30-45 minutes because she was having fun taking photos with us! We would highly recommend Justine!

Philiana Wong

Did our family's fall photos for the first time with Justine on Sep 2021. We are very happy with how the photos turned out and we highly recommend her to anyone with know She also did photos for our family members and they are also very pleased.

Tyson&MacKenzie Herrmann

Love, love, LOVE! Justine was an absolute pleasure to work with, and her photo's are absolutely stunning. She came highly recommended from a friend, and I am so grateful for the recommendation. She worked with our crazy schedule so well, and showed so much care in the way she works, making sure the shot is just right. I can't wait to have her take more photos for us in the future!

Marissa Szawlowski

We received close to 30 recommendations for a wedding photographer and after checking out her online portfolio, my husband and I knew she would be the perfect photographer for us. All of her work is so meticulous and she really makes sure that everything is of such high quality before she releases it. We had a beautiful engagement session which reassured me that she and her team would capture our special day perfectly! We recently got our wedding photos and video back, and I can’t describe how elated I was to see everything. This team really captured the essence of our day and of our personalities. I can’t recommend Justine and her team enough!

Heather Blush Artistry

I've worked with Justine personally and professionally many, many times. She is wonderfully talented, so easy to work with and just the sweetest. I highly recommend her for any type of shoot you're looking for - lifestyle especially!! It takes a great eye to capture what she does. You will not be disappointed. - Heather Dick/Owner

Desurae Beaudette

Jaymarie Studios has captured our family in the most pure and beautiful ways! She has photographed us for years and her quality, dedication and eye for the perfect photo always amazes me.

Snami

It was so much pleasure to work with Justine!We had maternity life session and it was absolutely comfortable and easy!And we are really happy with the result!I would definitely recommend this photographer! Thank you so much,Justine!

Katrina Soprovich

We had Justine come out to our family farm to do a family session in September 2016 as a gift for our parents' 30th wedding anniversary. We were so happy with the session itself - she had wonderful ideas of ways to use the yard that we wouldn't have even thought of! She was very accomodating with the location and drove out not only to our farm but to another yard nearby where we wanted a few shots. The pictures turned out beautifully and we have received so many compliments on them. We had previously had Justine do our wedding videography in July 2015, and were so happy to also experience her as a photographer. Jaymarie Studios is absolutely our go-to for photography and videography!

Jessica Dmytryk

Working with Justine was an absolute pleasure. My husband and I hired her for our engagement shoot as well for our wedding day. You really, truly get what you pay for with Justine's incredible work. Her passion and knowledge for what she does is immaculate. Both my husband and I, are not one's for being behind the camera and knowing what to do but Justine is there to help you every step of the way. I have never felt so comfortable and well-guided. She truly knows how to plan ahead and make the day less stressful since you know there's a billion other things happening on that special day. I will forever recommend her, not only for her amazing work but her kind, sweet heart.

Laura Rozka

My husband and I were not sure if we were going to get a videographer for our wedding but we are so happy we did. Justine is not only professional but made the process effortless and captured all the right moments. Her services also allowed us and our family to catch the special moments that we missed because of the hustle and bustle of the wedding day! Thanks so much for capturing our Okanagan wedding and travelling to spend the day with us. We love your work. Your talents and passion for what you do shine through and I can't wait to share these live wedding day memories with our family, friends and future children. Jennifer and Lee Owen

Jaymarie Studios is always really accommodating when we are booking a photo session which we really appreciate. We loved the variety of shots that she took for our big family and how quickly she got our pictures back to us!

Greg Williamson

"Jaymarie Studios was quite simply the BEST choice for our engagement and wedding photos. Justine impressed us from the moment we met her, and we hired her on the spot. Her pricing was competitive and her portfolio put us completely at ease, as to the quality of her body of work. Justine was upbeat and fun to work with throughout the entire process, and always got back to us promptly with our questions, ideas, and concerns. On the day of our wedding she was incredibly fast at getting all of the necessary family shots, as well as the fun/artistic shots that are essential for a great wedding album. Justine has a great knowledge of places to go to get great photos, based on time of year, weather, and your vision. The second shooter, Lauren, was also brought in by Justine and did a fantastic job as well. We received all of our photos in a timely manner via email, as well as a thumb drive provided by her. Justine is not only the nicest person, but a great photographer, and we would fully endorse hiring Jaymarie Studios for your event!" Greg & Kathy-Anne Williamson Married May 7th, 2016

Esther Burkard

My husband and I hired Jaymarie Studios to photograph our local wedding ceremony as well as our destination wedding and are ecstatic with the service we were provided by Justine. She was very organized, detail oriented, and professional which allowed my husband and I to focus on the other aspects of planning our wedding. We felt very comfortable leaving everything photography-related to Justine and, after seeing the outcome, I am so happy that we did! She is a very talented photographer and did an amazing job editing as well. During the photo shoots, her friendly demeanor and great sense of humor helped everyone to not take themselves so seriously and I truly believe that translated into better photos of everyone. I feel confident in stating that you will not be disappointed if you hire Jaymarie Studios.

Claudine Lavoie

Justine was amazing with our family for our fall session. She directed us through everything so it was an easy process - and we are beyond thrilled with our pictures!

Mackenzie Croft

Justine is amazing! Highly recommend her and her team for any type of photoshoot. Family photos, wedding photography, any special moment you wish to capture. She is very professional and organized. She makes the experience fun and captures high quality amazing photos. We will definitely be using her again in the future.

Justine is the absolute best, most wonderful person to have work at your wedding! We first met Justine at my best friends wedding. And from a bridesmaids point of view, Justine was extremely approachable and personable, not only with the bride and groom, but with everybody else involved in the wedding. I knew I wanted her for cinema after watching her work through my friends wedding video...and then becoming obsessed with it because it was SO beautiful. Justine did an AMAZING job. A few months later, we had booked our "getting to know each other coffee date" and it honestly felt like we were old pals meeting up to catch up. After we booked cinema with her, she was open to keeping in touch through email, phone and she even organized a google doc in order to make sure she knew everything that she needed to know for our wedding to ensure we would be on the same page! She was on the ball! My husband and I can also be pretty awkward and not so serious at times... Especially when it came to our wedding in regards to "being cute and romantic" in front of cameras... We are so glad Justine was there to coach us through the awkward times and even laugh with us! She really allowed us to be our goofy selves, which we definitely needed. She is also extremely professional and incredibly open minded when it came to our wedding needs. You can tell she knows what she is doing and is passionate about what she does. She was literally on top of EVERYTHING and she goes above and beyond to make your day as memorable as possible and even smoothed out the minor hiccups that came on our wedding day. I was so impressed with how she managed to capture our whole day and essentially run our wedding too! If you needed something done, she was always there to lend a helping hand. She is a true leader! The one regret of our entire wedding was not having booked her for both cinema AND photography. Not only is Justine amazing, but her team is amazing and so much fun to be around (which I saw previously at my friends wedding). Anyway, after our wedding, I was worried that we didn't have any "cute" footage of us at our wedding and I felt bad for Justine because I didn't think she would have any good content to work with. 2 months later, she produced our video and it was absolutely PERFECT!!! I really don't get how she did it, but she did! All in all, Justine is punctual, easy to get hold of and SO talented and I would 100% recommend her to everyone!!!

Caitlin Zukiwsky

My boyfriend and I had so much fun working with Justine for our studio session! She was so easy and fun to work with. Made us both feel comfortable and relaxed! We absolutely love the pictures from our session! Her passion for being behind the camera definitely shows through her work. Would 100% work with her again :)

Devynn King

Justine was a dream to work with! She was a rockstar through our 35 degree wedding day dealing with a huge wedding party, family and dogs on top of it all! We love every single one of our wedding photos and can't wait to see the magic she creates with future life milestones. Much love!

lisa glatz

It was our first time for professional family pictures and we couldn’t be more ecstatic with how they turned out! Justine is amazing at what she does and is able to capture the most amazing shots of our family (including our two fur babies). I tell everyone who asks about our pictures, you are guaranteed awesome pictures, which in my mind is priceless! Thank you Justine for creating such a fun and relaxed atmosphere, you truly are a gem!

Kelli Giebelhaus

Justine is one of the most professional and hardworking women in the industry. We have entrusted her with many of the most sentimental and meaningful experiences our family has milestoned: Maternity, Newborn, and countless family photoshoots. She is thoughtful, meticulous and has a true passion for the art she creates. We are most definitely looking forward to working with her again.

Justin

As we come to our one year wedding anniversary being able to reflect on the many wonderful memories of that day through Justine's stunning photography is something that I will be forever grateful for! Apart from being so wonderful to work with the memories you have captured instantly bring me back to the greatest moments of my life. Justine was a dream to work with from our engagement shoot to our wedding day she helped make everything was absolutely perfect! Thank you for making two awkward people look amazing :) It was sincerely our pleasure to work with such a wonderful person! Love, Helen and Justin

Randi Hesketh

I couldn’t be more grateful that we chose Justine and Jaymarie Studios. She was so efficient on communication and made me feel so comfortable, even just at our first meeting! We just received our engagement photos back, and I have never been happier. I have never felt so beautiful in a picture, and I know my fiancé felt so incredibly comfortable in front of her lens. It was such a fun night with Justine. I am SO SO excited to see our wedding photos in a year!!!! I honestly don’t know what we would have done if our date wasn’t available to book Jaymarie Studios!!!!

Steve Truong

Justine was awesome to work with, she was funny, caring, professional and compassionate about her work. We enjoy our engagement session in Vancouver. Can't wait to work with her on our wedding day. Steve & Hoa(Nhi)

Alison Thiessen

Where can I even begin with Justine!? She was the perfect addition to our wedding day! When we first met with her she was so professional and prepared. She answered all of my questions and even questions I didn't even know to ask. Throughout my planning she was always very prompt with a response to my ridiculous and random questions. We did the 10 hour package with her and we found that was the perfect the amount of time for her to be able to capture all of the special moments of our day. From the moment she got to our place on the morning of the wedding she was calm, cool and organized. I felt very at ease all day and I never felt like she was missing a moment or anything. We opted to have a second shooter, and she was just as wonderful as Justine! We got our photos back and I couldn't have been happier. There was so many photos that I didn't even know she was getting but they all turned out beautifully. She is such a genuinely kind person who makes you feel at ease no matter the situation. I was so happy to have her there that day and I would recommend her to anyone and everyone!

Amanda Divjak

Justine was amazing to work with!! So professional and accommodating. My husband and I are a little awkward with taking photos but Justine's fun loving and bubbly personality put us completely at ease. She was also extremely helpful with guiding us on how to pose and where to look. The photos all turned out absolutely beautiful! Both from our engagement session and wedding. We have gotten so many compliments on our photos and even given her name and info to multiple people who may need a photographer in the near future. We will definitely be using Justine's services again and would recommend her to everyone. Thanks for everything Justine, we couldn't have asked for a better photographer to capture our special day!! :)

Shelby Shapka

Justine is an amazing photographer and I am so glad we chose Jaymarie Studios to capture my Graduation day. She was super friendly and personable and definitely knew what she was doing. My dysfunctional family and the rain would have made a tough day for most photographers but Justine was still extremely upbeat and professional. I love the photos I now can keep forever, and I would not have wanted any other photographer taking them.

Lexi Fedoruk

Justine is an excellent photographer, very flexible working with broken families and knows great locations for the shoots as well. Would recommend for any occasion.

Desiree George

I cannot tell you enough good things about Justine and her team. I would recommend her for any event. She truly does care about making sure you have an amazing time at your event and ensures that you don't stress about the picture part of planning. She is truly a genuine person. She took the time to get to know both my fiancé and me through a few meeting that were set up at our convenience. She is professional and she definitely knows her stuff. Don't worry about all the creative aspects of the photos- let Justine take care of that- she is amazing! We are both so happy with our photos. There is definitely going to be a long term relationship with Justine for all of our future photos to come.

Alyssa

My husband and I absolutely love working with Jaymarie studios. She has done our engagement photos, wedding photos and now maternity photos. Justine is so caring and professional when it comes to your photos. The sessions never felt rushed and always felt comfortable. Justine has always gone with the style we like when it came to all 3 sessions. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer.

Stephanie Kruger

Justine was truly amazing. She was easy to work with and made me and my camera-shy husband feel comfortable. Justine also coached us to help us get some really beautiful photos, but allowed for us to be ourselves and she captured some spectacular candid moments. One of my favourite things about Justine is how detail-oriented and thoughtful she is. On the wedding day, Justine took so many photos of little details - even taking a photo of my journal where I had written "wedding" with my ring pointing to the date. I feel like the day will never be just one big blur because of all the special moments she captured. From decoration details, to shots of all the guests during speeches, I have every picture I could want. And all throughout the planning process, Justine was flexible, open to suggestions, and quick to respond. My pictures are truly stunning; they have depth, attention to detail, whimsy, and well, we just all look great! Thank you, Justine!

Michaella Chemello

This was a great photo session. Justine was very professional and accommodating. She took more photos than we had agreed upon which was excellent. She went above and beyond what we expected. Thanks for the beautiful photos. We will be looking to book her again next year.

Leah Rooney

My husband and I used Justine as our photographer for our wedding in June and can’t say enough amazing things about her and her work. She captured every detail of our day and made sure we had all of the photos and moments we wanted photographed. I am so happy have these photos to share with our families and friends. TIP: GET THE ALBUMS! You will not regret it. They are the BEAUTIFUL. We have 2 parent albums and one for ourselves. We also had Justine make a photo album with our engagement pictures as a guest book - the two books are on our coffee table for people to look through!

laura Boyko

Justine at Jaymarie did a phenomenal job on our fall engagement session in Kananaskis which turned into a winter wonderland. Couldn't have asked for a better session!

Jessica Rogers

We had a great experience with our wedding! All of our photos are great and we are very happy. Justine was very professional and organized, which helped us prior to, and the day of. We would recommend to anyone.

Raeleen Lischynski

AMAZING! Words can not even describe how talented Justine is. She is professional, organized, fun, down to earth, personable, and makes you feel comfortable in front to the camera. We are just amazed in how fantastic our lifestyle photos turned out. She was also so flexible with our crazy schedule.

Leah and Shanil

Justine is an absolute treasure to work with - Not only is she a talented photographer & editor, but she has that friendly, fun, & professional personality that is just as important for capturing chemistry on film. My husband & I had the privilege of having Jaymarie Studios as our wedding photographer and videographer & with no surprise, she executed exactly what we wanted and more. Throughout the whole wedding process and day itself, Justine was extremely organized, kind, and detail-oriented. Not to mention helpful. She is the type of person that will go out of her way to help her clients because she is truly generous & has a passion for weddings. Now about the pictures - they turned out absolutely BEAUTIFUL. For someone who is awkward & shy in front of the camera, I was nervous to view them... But of course, our photos came out perfect - modern, natural, and best part of all, they captured so much emotion. You can truly witness the laughter and happiness of my friends and family from Justine's photos. Thank you Jaymarie Studios for making my wedding dreams come true! We cannot wait to work with you again! Also - Justine loves dogs. And dog-people are the best! Lol.
