We had all hands on deck for David & Candace’s wedding at the Remai. A full team day is always a blast.
Sometimes the last photographs of the night are the best ones. ✨
M & B travelled all the way home from Australia for their beautiful cidery wedding. The weather was perfect and so were the vibes. ✨
It’s baby season!
We’ve been loving this space for maternity and newborn sessions lately and it’s always a pleasure to have couples whose engagements and weddings we’ve photographed continue to choose MJ&Co to capture all stages of their journey. 🤍
We love baby visits in the studio! 😍
Here’s Matt in his natural habitat, putting his technical prowess to the test and embracing the art of experimentation. We say this all the time, but we’re very fortunate to be able to have fun and express ourselves at work. With such a talented community of industry-leading professionals that love working together, we’re able to really lean into our creativity and do what we do best!
Behind every moment on a wedding day are the loving embraces, the knowing glances, and the timeless wisdom shared by grandparents and close family.
As photographers, we understand the profound significance of capturing these precious connections. From the tender moments shared between generations to the proud smiles that light up the room, these memories become the heart and soul of a couple’s love story. We believe in preserving not just the events, but the emotions and relationships that make each wedding day truly unforgettable.
Mother’s Day is approaching and we’re hosting our second annual mini session day just for the mamas! 🤍
There are a handful of session times left.
Book yours through the link in our bio or in our Mother’s Day story highlights.
Storytelling is the thread we weave throughout everything we do. On a wedding day, we want you to remember it all. Whether you share your wedding album with friends, or just look back at it 20 years from now, we want you to feel what it was like. The proud smile as your grandparent watches you walk down the aisle, your eyes filling with tears seeing the love of your life all dressed up. 🤍

Part 3: Sparkle
“A bride can never sparkle too much. We are seeing all the colours and all the glam.”
- Holly Decker artistry
“Editorial photography is back bringing a style of imagery that is 2 parts Hollywood, and 1 part paparazzi. There will be a balance of candid event style, with a slight lean towards fashion inspired portraiture. Think ballgowns and tuxedos. People want to look and feel good. This isn’t just for the bridal party either. Guests are excited to join in on the celebrations wearing beautiful outfits which is going to make great reception portraits.”

Part 1: Elegance
“Although neutrals continue to be a favourite, this year we’re seeing a lot more colour in florals - from a mix of fun pastels to saturated and bold tones, along with trends such as high impact installations, low greenery bouquets, and light and airy flowers with a lot of movement.”

Classic-meets-contemporary was the vibe for Cody & Brooklyn’s day. An art gallery wedding at the was the perfect canvas for this couple to paint their unique love story with their family and friends. 🤍🖤
Modern meets tradition.🏮
We love being a part of weddings that incorporate their family’s cultural traditions and influences.
Haiqi and Taryn’s wedding was just that. Set amongst the modern architecture of the , they were both able to be true to their roots and have a wedding unique to them. 🤍
We love a great after party!
And we’ve seen almost everything! 🫣😆
What are some memorable/hilarious/outrageous stories you have from a wedding reception?! (That you can share!😉)
Time to share a little throwback to this beautiful, sun-kissed moment!
Some of you might remember when we shared Matt & Crystal’s vow renewal from last May in Hawaii. Not only was this a beautiful 15th anniversary gift to Crystal, but Matt flew the team out to Oahu to photograph & film their special moment.
This is a testament to the trust we have in each other as creatives. We want nothing but the best, for our clients and each other.
Our team and their partners had a blast exploring paradise and being a part of capturing this precious milestone for these two. It was the adventure of a lifetime filled with laughter, happy tears and unforgettable memories for all of us.
(Plus maybe by posting this, I can persuade .ramage & into a 20th anniversary trip.😉)

As our team winds down following another whirlwind wedding season, we like to spend this part of the year tying up loose ends around the studio and wrapping any remaining projects before a much needed break with our families for the holidays.
We’re fortunate to have this luxury, allowing us to return in the new year feeling refreshed and inspired to dive into the passion projects we’ve been dreaming about. Here’s to the cozy days ahead, where our studio becomes a creative haven for us to explore new ideas, experiment with fresh techniques and craft something truly special. This is where the magic happens. ✨
Embracing the nuances and uniqueness of every wedding is so important. To us, it’s about making sure the little things that whisper love stories don't get lost in the grandeur. It's those small, unnoticed moments that hold the real magic. ✨
This magical moment is brought to you by the iconic disco ball and
Jack and Katie got married on a snowy December day last winter, and we can’t help but keep swooning over the twinkling lights and classic romance in this shot. 😍
We were lucky on Jacob & Ashley’s wedding day to capture the last of the season’s beautiful colours before the snow fell. 🍂
We love a little surprise dance routine! Shyann & Kolten’s Marquis Hall reception was so full of energy and laughter. They made our jobs easy.
We know wedding planning can be daunting, which is why we make the process of hiring your photography & film team a seamless one from start to finish. We collaborate with our couples every step of the way from planning a unique engagement session to carefully walking through the wedding day timeline, ensuring we maximize our time with you to capture every detail.
Our 2024 books are open and we can’t wait to be a part of the celebrations and document your love. 💍
Cheers to forever ✨🍾
These two had the sweetest, intimate chapel wedding followed by a modern reception party with their closest loved ones at .restaurant in the
We are honoured to have celebrated the love of these two against the breathtaking backdrop of the Canadian Rockies. Their happiness was simply contagious. 🏔️
Hi everyone! My name is Melissa and I thought I would introduce myself for those of you who don’t know me yet.
Some of you might follow my page which is mainly a collection of my favourite snaps from projects I’ve photographed with MJ&Co. and our sister company
A little about me: I have been a full-time photographer/production manager with MJ&Co. for nearly 3 years. Before that, I freelanced for about 12 years (photographing weddings and newborns) while also working as a hairstylist. Once I made the jump to photography exclusively, I haven’t looked back.
Matt and I are MJ&Co.’s lead photographers, so we each have our own teams that we photograph and film weddings with. (This allows MJ&Co. to shoot two events in a day.)
Every once in a while our teams join forces. I sometimes tag along with Matt & Crystal, or they might join my team for an event, (and do we ever have a time!) but for the most part, we shoot our own projects.
Pictured here, I’m in my element, nearing the end of a wedding day, sweaty, probably dehydrated😅 and still loving every second.
Photographing families and people in love while creating art is my passion. It’s a privilege to meet incredible people every day and be a part of those moments in their lives.
If we’ve ever worked together, thank you. If we haven’t yet, I can’t wait to meet you and make some new memories! 💛

Behind the Scenes! We are excited for another wedding season coming up! We teamed up with our friend Holly Decker who helped put together a dream team of Saskatoon Wedding Vendors to give you a little inspiration for your upcoming 2024 and 2025 wedding day! This collection of bridal portraits was captured in our Saskatoon Studio. Our inspiration required a dreamy all white space for the photography. We started by laying down white photography backdrop paper on the ground, and then added layers of hanging organza from the ceiling. This mixed with our large dual 8x8 foot windows gave the look we wanted. Why we chose this style was it allowed the florals and skin tones to pop. We also started the idea by knowing we’d use two types of lighting. First was ambient light (what you see from the window), and then studio flash. Ambient lighting has a beautiful look that 90% of our images are photographed with. Flash or strobe lights are used here and there. This type of lighting is what gives a glam/HollyWood look to the images. Typically we reserve it for darker spaces, or venues that don’t have optimal lighting setups. If done right, it can be a beautiful tool to create portraits that are unique, and create a set of images that you would expect to see at the Oscars. We are very excited to try a few new ideas like this for our 2024 couples!

We laughed, we cried. 🎭 Chase and Heather had the most heartfelt vows and family speeches, they had our whole team in tears at one point or another throughout the day. A beautiful day and, as always, an honour to be invited to capture such precious moments.
It’s moments like these that remind us why we’re passionate about storytelling through visuals. Our goal is not just to film a wedding, but create an experience that feels real, timeless and deeply personal. The love radiating between Luke & Hayley throughout their lakeside wedding day shines through in their film and is a heartfelt reminder of why we adore what we do. 😍
These are the moments that we want you to remember. The way he looks at you or the way she wraps her arms around you. This is the moment Matt and Ali had their first look in the meadow behind @thebarnatwindsedge . After, they shared personal vows with each other. The day you dreamed of for so long. We want to help you remember that story. It’s worth remembering. 📸🎥
It’s April, and that means our Mother’s Day Mini Sessions are coming up quick! We are now 60% sold, and expect to sell out. To see all the details and purchase, follow the link in our bio.

On this episode, Matt is joined by the other members of the videography team at MJ&Co. Stories - Chris and Josiah are the videography team leads on your wedding day, and you'll likely seem them behind a tripod, holding a gimbal or fiddling with the audio equipment (just to make sure your final videos are as perfect as possible). Filming a wedding day is a lot of work, and every company will approach it with a different mindset, so knowing what to expect from your chosen vendor is important since their work will be reflected in your video(s) from the day. We tell your stories. This episode is a behind-the-scenes look at how we do that. Show links: MJ&Co. Website https://mjand.co MJ&Co. Instagram https://instagram.com/mjand.co
