Toronto Wedding Photographer Reviews

My then fiance (now husband…woohoo!) and I knew Janice was THE ONE when she told us during our meet & greet that she was on her way to Iceland. She had us at Iceland.That country is very special to us because that’s where we got engaged. So putting talent and her love of travel made hiring Janice as our official engagement and wedding photographer the easiest decision in our wedding planning process.

This very sweet, easygoing and lovely lady is one seriously talented photographer. She is also equally professional, respectful and highly organized as she is talented. Our friends and families have come up to us after the wedding, telling us that Janice was wonderful to work with. We absolutely love her photojournalistic approach. She has a unique way of bringing out the most candid smiles, the most genuine laughter and the most authentic look of love between two people in her photos. She has a way of capturing the raw emotions of friends and family members on your special day – from their laughter to their tears. Her photos make you want to dream. And that’s why we hired her.

When we look at our own wedding photos, we don’t see a mere reminder of a wedding that’s passed. Her photos are so moving, so alive, that just by browsing through them, they make us experience the day over and over again. We had such a great time working with Janice and her team. We would definitely recommend her to friends and family (and to you reading this review). We look forward to more milestones so we can hire her again! Thank you Janice for being a part of this journey!

Toronto Wedding Photographer Review

Calm, patient, artistic, and an eternal optimist – these are just a few words my husband and I would use to describe our most wonderfully talented wedding and engagement photographer, Janice Yi. But above all things, Janice is a storyteller. She strings together the myriad of emotions and feelings that are present on your special day, and then presents in such visually captivating way. She not only understands the art of photography but the importance of capturing the essence and beauty of present moment.

Janice is exactly who she says she is and believes her style of photography to be on her website. She does not impose; she does not portray fictitious environments or elements in photography. She simply ‘goes with the flow’. She asks her clients to trust in her to tell their ‘story’. This is exactly what we did and through that, we ended up with a true recount of one of the most precious and beautiful day of our lives.

But to go in a little detail of how great Janice is, I’ll tell you a little story that happened during our engagement photo shoot. It was a glorious day for our engagement photo shoot at Niagara-on-the-lake…until we got there. As soon as we arrived on scene it started to down pour cats and dogs- I mean a DOWNPOUR. However, Janice kept her calm (obviously this wasn’t happening for me) and offered various solutions to make the day work. Somehow, we managed to hop around to different locations and managed to get a full day of photos both in and outdoors, visiting vineyards, coffee houses, restaurants, and even went with the picnic I prepared in a remote park. Flexibility, optimism, and creativity are such powerful tools to have as a photographer; and lucky her, she possesses them all. Throughout preparing for our engagement and wedding photo shoot, Janice really tried her best to understand and accommodate to our needs as well. And it’s all because she really cares. She cares so much for this profession, for her clients, and in their big special day. This way there is no possible way that the photos won’t end up turning out like a masterpiece. My husband and I are both so pleased and grateful for Janice’s work (she also works like a beast) and can only leave this last comment: Janice Yi is not only an exceptional photographer but a great, wonderful individual, whom we cannot wait to share more future projects with.

This made me tear up the other day when it popped up on my Google+ page. These words and sentiments, they are what keep me going on an especially chaotic day, or in moments when I have doubts.

“When I first saw Janice’s website, I instantly fell in love. Her photos struck a deep chord with me and I was desperate to have her capture our Wedding. Six months later we are still over the moon in love with our photos. Looking back, she was able to tell a story of not only that day, but of us, our lives, our love, our loved ones. The photos are so beautiful and natural and she made the process not really a process at all! It was also so nice to have a photographer who was genuinely excited and happy for us on our big day! Janice made a huge effort to get to know us and truly spared no detail. I think that because she shoots from the heart and not just the eye that she is able to capture feelings, emotions and special, little moments in time. I was so happy to find someone who appreciates and loves nature and natural images as much as I do. It is evident that Janice is passionate about her work – and it shows in our photos. I really can’t wait to work with her again someday! Thank you Janice, for everything :) ” – Kelly & Mike

“I want to start off by saying thank you, thank you, thank you, Janice! When we were planning our wedding my only concern was who our photographer was going to be. I didn’t want to have photos that looked too “staged”; I wanted a photographer who could capture our day and have the photos represent what our day truly was – one filled with tons of love, many laughs, and lots of energy! I happened to randomly find Janice’s website on the internet one day and I looked through her photos and thought to myself “I just have to have her shoot our wedding!”. From the moment I contacted Janice, I was immediately at ease because I knew that she was going to be amazing – and I was right. Our experience with Janice was very smooth; she was quick with her email replies when I had any questions and she was always one step ahead when it came to planning for any unexpected events (i.e. the buckets of rain that we had on our wedding day!). As for the wedding day itself, you didn’t even know she was there. Many of our guests commented on how she was very “ninja-like” when taking her photos! She knew exactly where to be in order to photograph all of the special moments but was not in everyone’s face with the flash of her camera. I cannot express how happy we are with our photographs and how many comments we have received from our family and friends about how beautiful our photos are. I would recommend Janice without any hesitation and I’ve already told her that our wedding day is not the last she’s seen of us! Thanks a million again!” – Amma & Duy

“As a marketer/event planner by profession I was extremely selective of the vendors I decided to work with for our wedding day. It was not only Janice’s style of photography and her online portfolio that won me over but her professionalism, eye for detail and excellent communication skills that really sealed the deal! She is honest and upfront and puts you at ease from the very first meeting. She truly photographs in a way that captures so many moments, emotions and details. All of the incredible moments and memories she was able to capture tell the story of our wedding day perfectly!” – Lindsey

Hayley & Mark: Married // Toronto Wedding Photographer Reviews

“Janice was the photographer for our wedding on September 1st (as well as our engagement shoot) and we couldn’t be happier with our experience! Janice is the nicest person – she makes the whole process really easy and relaxed. We always enjoyed meeting up with her for coffee (or tacos!) to chat about the details for the big day. My husband and I are super nervous and awkward in front of a camera, and Janice did a great job of making us feel at ease. We LOVED our pictures! When we got the DVDs the packaging was so adorable and came with a personalized note. The pictures also came so fast! We were excited to re-experience our wedding day after just a few short weeks. We will be sure to recommend Janice to anyone who is looking for a photographer!”

Here is the story from Hayley & Mark’s wedding day!
