Whether your wedding is 300 + of your closest friends and family, or you’ve decided to elope, the best thing you can do is make this day your own. You don’t need to follow the rules. You don’t need to do what everyone tells you, you have to do. Ahh… sit back for a second and take that in.. you DON’T have to follow tradition? Heck no.. Isn’t that freedom?
Welcome!
Hey There! My name is Bobbi-Jo, (Bee, or Beej to my friends - which you will be soon!) and I am here to help you keep wedding planning as stress-free as possible, especially the choosing a photographer part!
I have a family of 6 - yes people, 4 children! I have been married to my husband for over 15 years and let me tell you, marriage is a wild ride that goes way beyond the wedding day! Think of your wedding day the prologue to the rest of your love story, just one chapter in your lives together. Your wedding images should tell the story of that first chapter - and what you do want your future children or family members to see when they look at your wedding album? Laughter, tears, joy, and a love so strong it exudes from the prints of your images and allows the viewer to feel all the feels you were feeling that day?
If so, then allow me to step inside your hearts for one day and capture that - the honest, raw emotion, the truths of your wedding day, the relationships of your people - all of the important stuff that remain true long after the flowers wilt and the detail trends fade away.
I believe that I am the person to tell your next chapter - let’s chat if you agree.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
How much will my wedding photography coverage cost?
You can expect to pay around $4000-$8000 for an all day package which includes two photographers for the entire day, a USB of your edited images, and some other fun goodies that come as a surprise!
Half day packages are also available for shorter weddings, and we offer custom quotes for elopements, week-day weddings, and last minute bookings. Contact Bobbi-Jo to get full details
How long does it take to get our wedding photos?
It honestly depends on the time of year your wedding takes place, but we promise between 8-12 weeks at the most.
Do we need a second photographer?
Not necessarily! I am perfectly comfortable and capable of photographing your wedding alone, however, like most things in life, its better with company. I have a small handful of photographers whom I trust to shoot alongside me and capture your day the same was I would. Plus we can bounce ideas off of one another, and keep shooting if the other needs a washroom break :)
How many hours will we need to take all the Portraits?
HOURS! No way! Your wedding day should be about spending time with the guests you invited! Â I will not keep you from enjoying your party for too long. I recommend choosing between 6-8 posed family portraits to document the people closest to you, and then we will do about 2-3 wedding party portraits, photographs of you both with your attendants and an intimate 15-20 minute portrait session with just the two of you. Depending on the layout of the day, we can sneak away again for a second quick portrait session in a different location or light. Generally all this can be done in 1 hour, leaving everyone lots of time to mingle and enjoy your party. Parents and guests always appreciate my efficiency as they do not have to stand around for hours of posing.
What equipment do you use?
All the photographers who work for Love Bee Photography (myself and associates) shoot with professional level Canon or Nikon cameras and lenses.
Do you recommend we schedule an Engagement Session?
It is up to you, but I love engagement sessions as it gives us a chance to get to know one another before the big day, and you get to “practice” in front of my camera. Plus it’s like a fun date night!
Black and white vs Colour Images - how many do we get of both?
I absolutely LOVE black and white images! I feel they evoke so much more emotion when the colour is taken out of the image. Most of your wedding day will be delivered in colour - you may spend hours designing and deciding on a colour scheme and that needs to be documented. I will mix some black and white edits into the mix, usually on images I photographed with a black and white in mind, or because I feel the image reads better that way. I would guess most weddings are about 25% black and white and the other 75% in colour. If you PREFER more black and white, please let me know and I would LOVE to deliver more for your gallery.
Why do you limit the amount of weddings you photograph each year?
I used to do one every weekend but as my family and kids have grown, they have gotten busier and need mom around more! Family is important! I love documenting wedding days and will never give it up and in order to give my clients the BEST of myself and service, I limit my wedding photography to a handful of special couples per year. This ensures YOU get the best service and work and never feel rushed or stressed by any service I provide
How much posing do you do through the day?
I am hired to document your day as it naturally unfolds. I will never stop you or ask you to recreate a moment that should happen naturally. Many guests have commented on how quiet and unobtrusive I am as a wedding photographer and it is always appreciated! That being said, I will pose you with your family and wedding party and pose you as a couple for a few images as those are very important too! Plus parents always want a posed portrait of the couple to print and hang up! So you will get the best of both :)
