Hi, I’m Janine Creative Director behind
The Tied Vows.

I’m a story-driven photographer and filmmaker capturing weddings, couples, families, and meaningful life events with authenticity, emotion, and heart.

My mission is to create imagery that goes deeper than the average surface level photos and films, I aim to preserve real connection, genuine emotion, and honest moments as they naturally unfold.

Whether I’m documenting a wedding day, a growing family, an intimate couple’s session, or a milestone event, my focus remains the same: telling your story in a way that feels true to you.

You are real. Your story is real. The emotions within each moment are real.

I value your moments deeply and approach every gallery as a reflection of the people in front of my lens genuinely enjoying meaningful memories that you’ll return too for years to come.

Kind Words From Our Clients

  • "I seriously cannot recommend The Tied Vows enough!! Janine was one of a kind! She is above and beyond her “photographer duties”, whatever I needed help with she was right by my side. In our first meeting I told her I wanted more pictures that weren’t posed and like the typical wedding pictures. She gave us the perfect balance of pictures! She got along so well with my family, and was even playing with my little one ♥️ she was showing me some of the pictures as the day went along. But we received 20+ sneak peaks the VERY NEXT DAY!!! (I know, every brides dream LOL). There was also no delay on getting my full album, and if I had any recommendations (like removing something from a picture I personally didn’t like), she had it done within minutes!! She was extremely easy to work with and even offered a payment plan to accommodate us!! Ever since the wedding, we have kept in touch and I truly think of her as a friend ♥️ So if you’re looking at booking her, I’ll save you the trouble… just do it LOL ♥️♥️"

  • “I am always so beyond impressed when it comes to Janine - I found her a year ago when we moved to the city and she has done 2 sessions for us. We do family photos every year and i am always so pleased with how they turn out. She captures our true moments and personalities. I've booked her for our wedding and she captured the day exactly how I wanted, She just seems to know what you like 10/10 Recommend”

  • “Janine is so amazing, from recommending locations to being flexible with scheduling. We could not have asked for a better experience. Our photos were stunning and she made us feel so comfortable. We look forward to displaying our engagement photos at our wedding and in our home. The hardest part is narrowing down our favourites.”
