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 am so grateful for Anita, I was hoping to get family photos of my wife and daughter, knowing that Anita doesn’t usually do these types of photos she graciously accepted. She was kind, patient and accommodating. Not only would I recommend her to my friends and family, but I would most definitely use her again. Thank again Anita. More...

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! More...

My fiancé and I were looking for a photographer for an engagement shoot, specifically we wanted a photo for our Save the Dates. Our love story began in the Rocky Mountains, so we wanted to capture the beautiful scenery where we fell in love. That being said, we are having a destination wedding and also wanted the photo to suit that locale. This was a tall order given that it was March and still snowy in Banff.We looked at countless photographers’ Instagram pages using the hashtag #banffphotographer. The instant we saw Anita’s page, we were totally awestruck. Her photos are incredibly charming, her editing style is so elegant, and we loved that her work has an editorial vibe. We felt confident by how consistently beautiful yet unique her work is. We reached out to her and received a reply within half an hour. We chatted on the phone and I vibed with her instantly, she really listened to me describe my vision and shared in my excitement. She was able to accommodate us for the shoot with only 10 days notice.On the day of the shoot, I was nervous as I always am when being photographed. Anita has a brilliant approach to connecting with her clients. We started off with just the hike. No camera. No posing. No pressure. Just casual conversation and getting to know each other. My nerves had totally dissipated by the time we reached the perfect location. I was impressed that she had prepared five different ideas for us to bring my vision to life.We had been rushing to send out our Save the Dates, so she transferred the photos to her laptop right there in the parking lot. We went through them together and picked our favourites and she sent us the edited copies of our top picks THE SAME NIGHT! She also sent us a few lovely Save the Date templates complimentary!! Within a couple of days of our photoshoot, we received the remainder of our edited photos. The process was entirely seamless, and we are so glad we trusted Anita with our Save the Date photoshoot. She totally exceeded all our expectations and we will be using her talent again and again in the future. We highly recommend Anita to couples who are looking for a talented, trustworthy, creative and fun photographer. Thank you, Anita, for a wonderful hike and gorgeous photos, we couldn’t be happier!

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 More...

Anita was one of my wedding photographers 9 years ago and is so talented. I have said since the day I met her (because she makes you feel so comfortable) that if I would ever do boudoir I'd want her to be the photographer. I recently did a boudoir shoot with her and it was like hanging out with a close friend. She suggested poses, helped me pick outfits, and found amazing light and backgrounds, made me feel comfortable and was encouraging. She revealed pictures the same day and then took time to edit them.
Anita's pictures are so beautiful you would think all her pictures are of models. Something I enjoyed most about spending time with her was having the conversation and scrolling through her photo album on her phone and her telling me who was models and who everyone else was. She could tell me that this person is a student, this person is a mother of 4, that guy is a professor. They all looked like models to me which speaks to Anita's talent to direct and captures great scenes and lighting. The fact she remembered details of people she has photographed shows she genuinely cares about the people she photographs and enjoys spending time with them. After spending time with Anita she will become a friend and you will have stunning photos. Entered the boudoir shoot feeling a little nervous. Left feeling empowered and beautiful. Enjoyed spending time with her as it had been too long.

Having my photos done by Anita was amazing. Never really having professional photos done, especially such intimate ones as boudoir I was very nervous. From our very first meeting Anita made me feel insanely comfortable it was like I had known her for years. She has this way of bringing out your confidence and showing just how amazing you are. I am so excited she is not only my boudoir photographer but my wedding one as well. Thank you for the incredible experience it is something I will cherish forever!!! More...

I cannot begin to state how much fun I had with Anita. This was my first boudoir experience and I was certainly not comfortable going into it. It was also 2 weeks until my wedding and I was very stressed and inflexible with timing. Anita worked her butt off to accommodate me which I am so appreciative of. I think most importantly she was an absolute blast to hang out with, made me feel comfortable and empowered, took the time we needed for our session, and delivered stunning photos in the time frame she said she would. I cannot say enough good things about this experience. I recommend her to all my friends :) More...

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. More...
