About

I'm a 6’1 sentimental adventurer in awe of humanity and connection.
I want to jump right into deep conversations, and photograph who you are in this moment of your life, in the place that makes you feel most alive.

I officially give you permission to break all the wedding rules, to tell the "shoulds" to peace out and to have a day that truly embraces everything that's meaningful to the two of you.

At the end of the day, all you have is these photos to help you remember.

What moments are you going to want to revisit 20 years from now?

Experience

There's no right way to get married. And there's no right way to photograph a couple. My way involves us getting to know each other really really well. I wanna see your weird and goofy side, your quirks and what makes you the person they fell in love with. I don't expect you to bare your soul to a stranger, so have a look around and get to know me first!

I have photographed almost 200 weddings, dozens of elopements, hundreds of engagement sessions and almost 30 proposals! I have been a photographer for 14 years and continue to push the boundaries on my creativity and skills. I approach wedding days with a mix of epic landscape photos, intimate moments between the two of you, and candids of your guests, wedding party and family. I am sentimental and believe your gallery should show the story of the day and reflect who the two of you are. I don't do stiff posing, I focus on actions to get the best candid and natural looking photos.

I am proud to have been featured in many publications, including:

  • Rocky Mountain Bride
  • Calgary Bride
  • Style Me Pretty
  • Huffington Post

Services offered

Every package includes all the high resolution images delivered in an online gallery. I deliver ALL of the photos edited other than the eyes closed, mid chew photos! So be prepared to get A LOT!

I offer a second photographer and complimentary engagement session with every wedding booked and I offer low travel fees because I am always coming and going from somewhere!

Lake Louise Engagement

Justine's photography speaks for itself! I had stumbled across one of her engagement sessions on one of those "how he asked" websites and it was so beautiful I knew I had to have her as my engagement photographer. I dropped a not so subtle hint to my partner and he organized the rest. Justine has great communication and knows how to organize everything just right! She even recommended we visit Moraine Lake in addition to Lake Louise. If she hadn't, we would have missed the beautiful snow right at the end of our session. She even edits and sends you several photos the night of so you can make an announcement right away! Less than 2 weeks later we had our entire collection edited and it was GORGEOUS! Her and her team had taken so many, I don't know how she got them edited so beautifully so quick. We are so grateful for both her professionalism and flawless work! Thank you, Justine, Emily, and Jessica! You guys were amazing!

AMAZING Photography!

My boyfriend (currently fiancee) secretly hired Justine Russo Photography to capture the moment he proposed while we were on vacation in Banff at Lake Moraine. It was one of the most beautiful moments of my life! The pictures are breathtaking and I am so happy that I can share this moment with my friends and family. Thank you!

Justine is a professional through and through! Her eye for photography was what first brought me to her ( that and my girlfriend had already signed with her) but it was her personality and genuine love of photography and love it's self that sealed the deal. Justine did our engagement photos and we were blown away! This past weekend she did our wedding. It was so much fun and I am can't wait to see the photos, I've seen a few and she rocked it. I also appreciated that she worked hard to learn a new technique, the sparkler shot just for me! Can't say enough about Justine. If you are lucky enough to have her, you will be guaranteed beautiful fun photos and lots of laughs along the way.
