Anita Jeanine Photography - Calgary

Anita was the photographer for my daughters wedding. Right from the get go, Anita made everything easy,she listened to my daughters vision, added some of her own ideas, it was like meeting with an old friend. On the day of the wedding Anita came with another photographer, she was amazing. It was like having a guest at your wedding, she was fast and knew what she she was after, and non intrusive, very professional. You really didn't know you were being photographed for the most part. I am in awe of Anita's work, you can tell she loves what she does, from the end results. A wedding is a blur to the parents bride and groom. Anita doesn't just take a picture, she captures the moments,and all the in between moments too. Being able to relive these moments in the photos was the best part for me. so much you forget that happened, but Anita captured it all!! Amazing talent! Thank you Anita for everything you do. I couldn't be more happy

Anita was our engagement and wedding photographer and we absolutely loved her! She was so easy to work with and really made us feel comfortable. She’s great at capturing candid photos just hanging out and then also great at directing to get the perfect shot. We got our wedding photos quickly (which was SUCH a nice plus) and would recommend her to anyone! You won’t be disappointed!

We were so happy to have Anita Jeanine photograph our wedding. She was very professional and a joy to work with. Both my husband and I consider ourselves not very photogenic, but Anita was able to use her photography skills and artistic eye to take absolutely stunning photos of us. She helped us into different poses, and had lots of fun ideas to make our photos unique. We highly recommend Anita Jeanine Photography.

Anita Jeanine was my wedding photographer at Fairmont Banff Springs 12/21/19. All our family and group photos turned out blurry and completely unusable- This is a cautionary tale. I booked her in July after shopping around for a few months. We had a relatively expensive destination wedding and I wanted to make sure we picked early as there aren't many photographers willing to go to Banff. She had great reviews so we went ahead and put down a deposit. She was fine about communicating before the wedding and up until the event. Day before due to weather we couldn't shoot outside (it was a blizzard) so we decided to do a longer indoor family/bridal party shoot and then photos around Fairmont of myself and my husband. We made sure she had dinner and a place to sit, and let her go for the night whenever she had enough photos of the dancing. She moved family photographers out of the way to get her shots and we trusted her, since we were paying over $3000 for a day of photos. She said we would have photos as soon as 2 weeks after the wedding as "proofs" when we spoke on the phone before I put down a deposit. That never happened. I don't use social media, but about a month after the wedding I found she posted photos of the wedding without my consent on her pages, before she sent me those photos. Not a big deal, but if she had the photos uploaded and on social media, I would have appreciated her asking permission first and sending me the photos. I waited almost 2 months to get the photos in a downloadable folder. Communication plummeted after the wedding and response times were regularly 1 week+. I asked for the unedited photos as well. The folder of family and group photos was full of completely unusable, blurry images. I'm not talking slightly out of focus, sure, put it in a nice frame and it'll look fine type of blurry- these are so blurry that they are in worse quality than my grandmother's wedding photos from the 50's in a 3rd world village! My best guess is that she only has a fixed prime lens that she used the whole night so she couldn't focus the camera from a distance or add light to photos and the overexposure/lens settings blurred all the images. I emailed her back asking her to remove the edits and send me proofs. To this day, I have not received ANY unedited photos. I also asked for a partial refund, as the entire family portrait session is unusable- per her deliverables in the contract they must be reasonable enough quality to be on a 5x7" print and this is not the case. She offered prints and said that sending me 11x14 4x was a $460 value but putting a blurry picture on fancy paper and a high DPI printer can't solve the underlying problem. I get it, she's a nice lady, she's trying, but she cannot and should not be hired for weddings. I'm heartbroken to have paid a TON of money for this wedding and have no photos from it. Thank god for my uncles and aunts who brought their own DSLRs and iPhones!

I found Anita in my search for a male boudoir photographer and I couldn’t be more thankful! From my first interaction with her I felt very comfortable and at ease. She answered all my questions and didn’t make me feel simple or embarrassed. During the shoot she was extremely professional and yet laid back. Her personality allowed me to relax instantly, which for me was very important. I want to be honest and say I didn’t achieved the physique I was hoping to have before the shoot, which made me feel very self-conscious, but with Anita behind the camera that all faded away. If I ever decided to do this again it will hands down be with Anita.

I had the pleasure of working with Anita for a commercial shoot. She immediately made me feel comfortable and provided excellent coaching so we could get the perfect shot. I loved that together we viewed her shots as we went along allowing us both to adjust as needed. She was easy to talk to, supportive, encouraging and we haven’t even discussed how incredible her photos are. I was blown away by the pre-edited shots. Anita is a talented and professional artist who created a fun and comfortable space where we got too many great photos to choose from. I would highly recommend her work!

Anita did such an amazing job on our maternity photos. First off she made me feel so beautiful and she wasn’t afraid to freeze her butt off and run around in the snow to get good pictures! She took TONS of different photos, from all different angles and was able to guide us through the whole photo shoot. She helped us with posing for some photos but also took some of my favourite candid photos. Not only is Anita an amazing photographer, but she was also fun to work with!

Anita photographed our engagement session and wedding this past summer. Anita is someone who always makes you feel comfortable and special in any situation. When we were taking photos it was like we were hanging out with a friend we have known for years. She always went above and beyond to help us with anything we needed. Her personality is contagious and her photography is stunning. During the engagement session she worked with us to create some beautiful images that captured who we are. Anita took on a documentary style of photography for our wedding. She was always watching and was able to capture some breath taking images that were full of emotion. When we received our wedding photos there were some photos that brought me to tears because the moments were captured so perfectly. She is not only a great photographer, or an extremely kind person, but she is also a storyteller. She will tell your story without missing a beat. Life is all about moments and having someone like Anita there to capture them is a rich experience.
