Joel & Justyna Photographer | About

In 2008, the stars aligned and Justyna was working as a fashion stylist for Style Magazine, and Joel was hired to photograph a few editorials. What followed were years of artistic collaboration, friendship, exploration, and appreciation for each other. This turned to courtship, romance, a beautiful wedding, and a beautiful marriage. With an education in art history, a previous career in fashion modeling, a family business in portrait photography, and a mutual love of French decadence, perfectly diffused light, old hardcover books, exotic travel, and heady perfumes, Joel and Justyna compress all of it – all of it – into their careers as wedding photographers.  Joel comes from a family of portrait and wedding photographers. His father, Michael Bedford, was the official royal portrait photographer in Canada prior to his retirement and Joel had the opportunity to assist on royal commission.
