"Justine!!! Your work is AMAZING. I have looked at all the pics a million times and each time my heart beats faster when I look at them...and I know that's because of the way you captured everything...your style is so authentic and so candid that it actually effectively takes one back to that moment... I was just looking at the dance pictures and it literally feels like watching a movie because of your photography style...there is life in every photo...thank you Justine....<3
Once in a while I might harass you (i will do my best not to) with a thank you note...you are an incredibly talented photographer..thank you for sharing your art and your time and your everything with us!
All my best,
Nilou"

"Dear Justine,
I just wanted to thank you so much for our beautiful photos! Truly, you captured the essence and emotions of our day. The first few days I just kept looking at the photos over and over again, finding myself smiling or laughing or tearing up because I was taken back to those moments. Each time I notice something new in the photos -- each one is so deep and has so many elements. Your photography is art, and your photos are timeless. We are so so thankful!!
Another thing that amazes us is the fact that somehow you are able to be so present and experience special moments while busy capturing the little things that complete the story of the day -- peoples' expressions, small details, and moments that easily could have been missed. Some of the captions accompanying the photos you have posted of us amaze me -- I find myself thinking how did she manage to be so present while running around and not missing a thing???
You were such a joy to work with! I felt so relaxed with you, and I felt your support all throughout the day, I still have the image of you with your cameras in the streets of Antigua, carrying my bouquet, and still somehow managing to capture the most gorgeous shots. We are forever thankful to you!! Thank you for being an awesome human and artist.
Love,
Katya & Otto"

"Justine,
THANK YOU! There aren't enough words. We have laughed and cried this morning looking through our photos and cannot stop smiling. We are so lucky and so so fortunate that we will have these images forever. We will be forever in your debt. I love the sneaky mid-ceremony kiss photo!
Let us know if you ever need anything, like a dog sitter or a kidney, we got you.
ALL OUR LOVE,
Olivia & Drew"

"Just one of the many reasons I love Justine’s work is how she edits and stays true to the colors of the landscape. We were blessed with a beautiful sunny day on the beach and her photos reflect just how we remember it: the rich blues, greens and yellows of our beloved Michigan shoreline. Not only that, but the photos perfectly represent how it felt for us. They bring us right back to that moment every time we look at them. They tell our story and no one else’s. Justine has an amazing way of directing so that every photo is associated with a genuine memory. We were spending time together and that was all. Ok but also! She is incredibly kind and professional and a pleasure to be around. Just a very genuine human who I now have a big friend crush on. I felt complete ease and confidence in her and that is just such a great feeling as a bride. Justine, thank you for sharing your time and talents with us - we appreciate you!"

"Justine was amazing to work with; so sweet and kind, totally down to earth, professional, able to give direction when needed, yet able to adapt and go with the flow. I was confident from the beginning that she was going to be able to translate our vision for our special day and capture the "moments" and the "feeling" in her photos. Not only did she do just that, but she went beyond our expectations, and we could not be happier with how things turned out! She captured moments when we weren't aware she was doing so-- making our collection so natural and authentic. Each photo gives me goosebumps because It awakens the feelings of pure joy and happiness from that day. We will cherish these memories forever, and feel forever indebted to Justine and her magic."

"Justine!!
We're in love with these. Can't stop looking at them and reliving the day. You truly captured it completely and beautifully.
My dad shared a sweet story that had me laughing. He said he asked if you had taken any close-ups of our hands together with our rings — and you gently told him "that's not really my style." Love that so much. We're SO thankful for your style! Your perspective, talent, attention and presence were the best gift. I'm happy to hear you enjoyed the day, it was a blessing to feel comfortable with you behind the camera. Thank you for it all!"

"JUSTINE!!!!
Jonathan can back me up on this — one of the things I was most excited about leading up to the wedding, was knowing that we had you to capture our day! You are truly incredible.
I’m speechless. HOW AM I SUPPOSE TO PUT THIS INTO WORDS?! Looking through every photo (a million times) brought us back to that day and everything we were feeling and I am positive they will be doing that EVERY time we look back at them. We cannot thank you enough!
I honestly feel as though we couldn’t have picked anyone else that would’ve vibed better with our day. Although it was chilly and windy, you were such a calming energy and gave such natural direction to create the most beautiful candid moments. Our photos so perfectly capture us and the best day of our lives. We will cherish these captured moments forever! Thank you so, so much.
Forever fans,
Shelby, Jonathan and Ivy"

"Justine will exceed all of your expectations of what you thought your wedding photos would look like. Our wedding photos not only depict the most special day of our lives, but you can feel the emotion from the day in our photos and to us, that is the most priceless part of hiring Justine. Not only are her photos captivating and gorgeous, she is someone you want next to you on your wedding day. Her calm demeanor and natural esthetic made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera and simply let us, be us. Leading up to our engagement shoot and wedding day, Justine was extremely responsive and helpful. Our photos will be the memories we share with our family and friends for a lifetime and we look forward to having Justine capture our milestones throughout the rest of our lives."

"Hello hello Justine 😊😁
We stayed up waaay too late last night filled with excitement reliving the wedding through your eyes. And then we couldn't fall asleep lol, we were so over the moon with joy! OMG these are soooo fantastic!! You are a master of the lens. Jake and I are in awe of how you managed to capture so many little moments and the fact we had no idea you were even close to us. We were already fans of your work, but I can't tell you enough how thrilled we are with the way you captured the entire day. We have so many wonderful moments to cherish forever.
All the best,
Hillary & Jake"

“Moments ago, I walked through the day again looking through your images. I re-experienced the excitement, the giddiness, the amazement, the laughter, the tears, the love and the pure joy of the day. And THAT is exactly what is so phenomenal about your work. You are able to capture each moment in its entirety with all of its energy in a palpable way. I know that when I look back in years to come, I will be transported to June 17, 2017, as I did just now. Each image tells its own story, drawing me in to relive each moment, even the ones I missed. It was such a delight to have you at my wedding. You were a wonderful addition, pleasant and vibrant, yet quiet and unobtrusive. All of my friends and family were impressed and told me so. You were a pleasure to work with…
Love, Katy"
Love, Katy"
"Where do I even start?? You and your work are incredible. We are beyond ecstatic with the photos and couldn't have asked for anything else. Every single image captures raw emotion and tells its own story. I know that I'll be able to look back on these in 5, 10, 50 years and be able to relive those seconds and those feelings every time. Thanks for everything Justine :)
