Joanna is now one of my favorite people EVER! Where do I even begin— from the moment she walked into our hotel room, she was kind, warm, energetic, and made us all feel incredibly comfortable. She is incredibly professional and detailed. She as...

ked for our must have photos before hand, told me exactly what I would need to bring for flat lays, created a detailed schedule, and rallied behind me and my bridesmaids every step of the getting ready process. Not to mention, the sneak peeks I’ve seen so far have genuinely made me cry because they’re SO. GOOD. On the day of the wedding, she made sure everything flowed smoothly, quickly, and efficiently. I never felt like I spent too much time taking photos because she made each shot incredibly fun and laid back! Joanna set up her laptop at the wedding and played the sneak peeks and gave us incredible Polaroids that I will cherish forever. Brandon was also great and had the best energy! My husband loved having him take their getting ready photos. If you’re looking for a photographer, Joanna is a MUST!!!

Any questions?

My husband and I had the pleasure of meeting Joanna and her team at a friend's wedding, and we were so impressed that we decided to hire her for our own wedding! Needless to say, that was the best decision we made for that day. From our first ...

meeting, we could tell that Joanna was professional, friendly, and really listened to our vision for our big day. She managed to capture so many beautiful moments, both candid and posed. She was very efficient with the time we had for photos and managed to get all the ones we wanted done 30 minutes early, all without doing a first look. Her eye for detail and creativity really shone through in the final product- the photos are absolutely breathtaking. All of our guests were most impressed that during the reception she brought out a laptop with already edited photos from that day for everyone to look through. We are so glad we hired Joanna. Her work exceeded all expectations and truly captured the magic of that day. HIRE HER!!!!

d all day! She stayed on top of my groomsmen for beer cans in hand, gum in their mouth, sunglasses in pockets, etc. The day went so smooth thanks to her and her assistant! There is not a single moment that they did not capture and they were so discrete about it. We were able to see sneak peak photos AT OUR WEDDING RECEPTION!!! My guests were so impressed. Highly recommend the photo booth -I have never seen anything like it and it was a huge hit with guests. It was so fun to see all the pictures afterwards too. I am absolutely in love with all of my photos -they are STUNNING! The tough part will now be deciding which ones to print because they are all gorgeous! Cannot recommend JCanelas Photography enough!!! Thank you so much Joanna, you are amazing at what you do!!!

nts! She was great with directing and getting everyone where they needed to be efficiently without being rude or overbearing. Every one raved about her after the wedding day. When my pictures were sent to me I couldn’t stop looking at them 😍 We received so many compliments on how they turned out and how many precious moments were captured. Our wedding was a destination wedding so I did not do engagement photos or meet Joanna before our wedding day but I loved her pictures on her Instagram so I knew she’d be perfect. Her prices are very reasonable for how amazing the photos are. I highly recommend JCanelas!!! You won’t regret it!

inutes out of her way to do our session (and arrived on time) - now that's some dedication! She's hilarious and there was not one time that we felt awkward in front of her. I appreciated her showing us a few pictures after taking them and offering to retake any if I felt there was something wrong with them. Another thing that was pretty sweet of her was at the end she asked if I imagined any pose that we may have missed. We just had our engagement session yesterday so we have not gotten our photos back yet (except for an Instagram sneak peak - wooo!) but I trust they will not disappoint. Thank you again Joanna!

photo she took is a complete understatement. If one thing mattered to me for this day it was having the perfect photographer to capture the memories. Everyone says it goes by so fast and that’s the honest truth. But to look at these pictures that she was able to capture from our special day, it was like reliving it all over again. She was on point not only with the perfect poses and capturing the perfect moments, but she was keeping everything in line for a super smooth day/evening and getting everything just right. I cannot thank her enough for being so amazing and I know I’ll be recommending her to anyone and everyone who mentions needing a photographer. So blessed to have these memories from our absolutely perfect day! JOANNA YOU ARE THE BEST!!!!!!
