About

Photography duo Joel & Justyna have been photographing weddings together since 2012 and were themselves married in 2014.

Formally educated in art history and photography, Justyna brings a vast knowledge, influence, and appreciation to her craft. Fueled by an unapologetically romantic vision, she constantly pushes the boundaries of artistic creativity with a highly attuned sense for the rhythm of a wedding and a couple’s unique love language.

Joel was raised by two professional photographers and learned the craft early, assisting his father with portrait assignments from Canadian Prime Ministers to HRH Queen Elizabeth II. Working as a fashion model,, Joel’s spent much time in front of the lens, having been photographed by Karl Lagerfeld for Harper’s, Steven Klein for L’Uomo Vogue, Miles Aldridge for Paul Smith, and countless others. He brings a vast breadth of professional experience and calm, creative energy to every event.

Our Ethos

“Our approach. We step into each wedding day with a soft footprint, capturing moments as if we were one of your trusted guests. We know the delicate balance between observing and blending in—honed through photographing over 400 events. We move with grace, dress the part, and seamlessly become part of your celebration.

Our couples share a common thread: kindness and trust. This isn’t about us or our portfolio—it’s about delivering images that reflect truth, authenticity, and beautifully elevated realness.

We deeply respect the responsibility of documenting your day, which is why we limit ourselves to 20 bookings per year. This ensures every couple receives our utmost attention, care, and artistry.”
