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.

The Sask Wedding Podcast 016 Wedding Day Videography (Feat. the MJ&Co. Stories team)
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.
