For sentimental couples who treasure timeless connections and ever-lasting memories.

Ottawa Wedding Photography

It's all in the details

But you’re not thinking about the signature cocktail sign, the staged bouquet with the perfect shoe, or the magnificent centerpiece.

You’re drawn to Maiora Studios because the wedding details that excite you most are the ones breathed into being by the people you love.

The church-pew giggles, the knowing looks, the wiped tears of joy. The moments you feel happening all around you, the merriment of the day! You don’t want to miss a single second of it.

The details of the heart are the ones you envision holding in your wedding album for 50 years.

Of course, all the visual details you’ve worked so hard on, and had so much fun planning to create that experience, will be documented too :) It’s all meant for capture.

If this is what’s important to you, then the Maiora Studios wedding experience is just for you.

- Lea & Jesse

“I have no words for Jessica but a DREAM! Since the first day we met her she was a big part of the calm in the storm of a hectic wedding day! She helped coordinate our big Italian wedding and most importantly captured beautiful moments from our big day, moments of us with each other and in my opinion more importantly with our families! If I could give her 10 stars I would and would highly recommend her over and over again to help make your day picture perfect!”

How photos can connect a family through time

“My grandparents were married as soon as they aged out of their NYC orphanage together. Coming from humble beginnings, they had a simple wedding surrounded by all the friends they had grown up with. A true love story, all held within 15 perfect black-and-white photos. Our multi-generational has enjoyed those photos for over 70 years!” – Katherine J

I want this for you and your family! To celebrate your wedding photos today and through many generations. To inspire curiosity, conversations, and stories, not just about your wedding day - but about your life, your dreams, and all the things that were important to you.

If this sounds like you, let’s book a call!

Frequently Asked Questions

These are some of the questions I get asked the most! If the answer you need isn’t here, just reach out. I’m here to help!

How would you describe your photography style?

Warm, joyous, intimate! A mix of documentary and traditional, my style is perfect for creating minimal distraction while capturing all the subtle details of you and your guests’ interactions. I look for natural expressions that create warm, emotive, and happy feelings!

Is an engagement session included?

Absolutely! It’s our chance to hang out and get to know each other. Plus, we’ll be creating some new memories for you as a couple :)

Will you have an assistant or a second photographer?

Yes. For added attention to detail, I work very closely with a second photographer for 6 hours. We’ll be capturing your special day from multiple angles!

How many photos will I receive from you?

I’m an all-inclusive photographer, which means there’s never a limit on the number of photos you’ll get. However, a 10 hour wedding coverage averages around 600 images.

Do you travel?

Yes, I do. As someone obsessed with making memories for others, I have quite a few of my own bucket-list places I’d like to visit while shooting. Ask me for special travel rates!

How far in advance should we book?

I always recommend booking at least a year in advance. It gives us plenty of time to secure your date and plan the details.
