Joanna was amazing!! I would recommend her to any bride looking for a caring, involved, and creative photographer. Her work was beautiful and we received all our pictures not just a select few like other photographers provide. She even brought along a second photographer so there was an alternate point of view and even more shots! She was very affordable as well which was great since we had a tight budget. She made our day perfect!!!!

Vendor response to review

Thank you Kathy, both myself and the second photographer thoroughly enjoyed your wedding. I wish both you and Eric all the best!

Joanna, is an amazing photographer that puts her heart and soul into her work. She went above and beyond what was required and you could tell that she has a passion for what she does. I have absolutley no complaints and would recomend her to anyone.

Thank you Gill! It was a pleasure to be your photographer. What a beautiful day you had for your wedding. I will never forget your day and the most beautiful sky that so graciously acted as your backdrop. All the best to You and Dave. Joanna

Joanna was great! Not only was she very professional, responsive and fun to work with, she was flexible, coming out to Toronto for me, even though she typically works in the Hamilton area.

My husband and I had a great time getting our engagement and wedding photos done with her - the complimentary engagement photos were a great idea to see if we were comfortable with her and her photography style.

I have worked with Joanna on 3 occasions (my engagement and wedding, and a friend's wedding) and the photos for all 3 look great - I would highly recommend her.

Overall, we were really pleased with her work, and the price was fantastic.

Vendor response to review

Thank you so much for this Review!! It was a beautiful wedding and I appreciate that you allowed me to go with my creative juices. Your day was beautiful, unique and a pleasure to photograph! All my best to the both of you. Joanna

Joanna was great to work with. She was organized and provided more than what was promised. She was organized and well prepared. She was invisible the day of our wedding. We didn't even notice her taking pictures during certain situations. I have recommended her to friends and one couple have already used Joanna for their special day.

Vendor response to review

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave your beautiful review. I am grateful to have made your acquaintance and thankful to have a bride so happy to refer me to friends! I truly appreciate you and your hubby, it's couples like you that make my job fabulous! All my best to you both! Joanna

About St. Jacques Photography

I love my job. I I love capturing the first kiss of marriage and the many that follow immediately afterward. I love capturing a bride's glow and a groom's pride on his wedding day. I love seeing guests wiping their eyes with tissue when they see the bride smile at her groom as they meet at the top of the aisle. I love working with couple's on the happiest day of their life and bringing them their photos. I love it when they say, 'I can't believe you got that' and I didn't even know that mom cried. I love showing her all the little things that happened around her while she was busy admiring her groom and having a magical day.

"Capturing your special moments with style, elegance and class." I am a wedding photographer based in Hamilton Ontario, providing wedding and event photography. My style is a mixture of modern photojournalistic photography, traditional and artistic creative photography. Wedding package prices are available on my website and range from $1700-4000 as well custom packages can be created to suit your needs.
