Colour correction is the manual adjustment of white balance, tint, exposure, contrast, highlight / shadow detail, white levels, black levels, clarity, vibrance and saturation. We start with a raw image that typically has a colour cast or slightly over/under exposure. These 11 controls allow us to fine tune the image and even enhance it to present you in your best light. Retouching involves the actual manipulation of pixels to change an image. This includes removing blemishes, softening skin (fine lines, wrinkles, etc), removing fly-away hairs, dodging and burning to lighten and darken areas as required, and removing or altering objects that shouldn’t be in the photo (exit signs, photobombs, and/or your Uncle Larry).

We don’t set any limits on how many photos will be taken at an event, or how many we will present to a client. As a rule, most full scale events generate about 80-120 images per hour of coverage. Variables include the number of photographers, and the size and type of event. We cull images for weird faces, duplicity, softness, and anytime we try something new – but it just didn’t work out.

My pricing is all à la carte. You put your own package together HERE.

Yes, of course. Everything is shot digitally in colour, and images are then selectively converted to black and white. Naturally, we always keep the original colour copy.

My images usually reflect the emotion and joy of an event.  I look back at my portfolio and it evokes a memory in me, and it will for you too.  A photograph represents an experience.  When you look through your album, I want you to re-experience the day in your mind, laugh, cry, and tell your kids stories as you turn the pages.

I will photograph most everything I see, but you’ll barely remember seeing me. There is a delicate balance between knowing when to stand in the wings and capture the action or when to step in and make magic.  While I am unobtrusive and hands-off during the ceremony and party, there is also a time and place for casually posed images.  While I won’t make you pose while cutting the cake, I will ask for time with you alone during the day to create stunning photographs without your family and guests looking on.  My photos of the guests are almost 100% journalistic, and while I won’t necessarily make tables pose for “table shots“, I will capture them laughing, smiling, dancing, and having a great time. 

I firmly believe in preserving the details of the day; if you spent money, time, and effort to create it, then I will photograph it.

I use top of the line professional Canon lenses and bodies.  Specifically, I use two 5D Mark IV’s and a backup 5D Mark III. My go-to lenses are the 24-70 f2 .8, an 85 f1.2 prime, a 70-200 f2.8, and often the 15mm fish-eye wide angle f2.8. I usually bring extra assorted lenses; the 24-105 f4, 50 prime f1.2, and a 16-40 f4. Sometimes we’ll use the 100 macro lens for details, or the Sigma 10-20 for wide shots. For a flash, I use the Speedlite 580 EX and a similar Godox Flash.  Ben and I share a lot of equipment, so we have a huge assortment of gear to choose from at any event. We’re just a couple of ‘gear-heads‘, at heart, y’know.  You can explore some of our gear HERE.


I’ve been photographing professionally since 2010, mostly weddings, mitzvahs, and events.  My studio is used exclusively for maternity and head-shots, and families I choose to photograph in a park.  It’s been such a fun ride and I remember them all, I really do!  It’s an enormous responsibility that I am trusted with, to document a wedding or mitzvah, and I take that responsibility very seriously.

Yes. Absolutely. 100%.  It’s a professional responsibility, both for equipment theft and unintentional injury to an individual.

If you are first to book with me, I’m photographing your event.  If I am booked, then Ben will photograph.  The photos on this site are both Ben’s and mine.  We have developed a distinctive brand that is ‘Jonni Super Photography‘, and we endeavour to maintain that particular style.  Rest assured, whether it is Ben or myself who photographs your event, the photos will have the same look and feel as what you see in the galleries on this website.


Every image that you receive has been hand-edited, one at a time, by me.  The photos you receive are print ready in high-resolution on a memory stick.  I will usually select a few favourites for special attention above and beyond the individual image editing, such as black and white processing.  Editing is a very important part of the process as it is how a photographer develops his or her personal style.  My style has evolved over the years as I learn new techniques and experiment with new photography software, but what you see in the galleries is what you get.. style-wise.

You’ll receive approximately 80-120 images per hour of coverage high-resolution edited photos on a memory stick from an eight hour wedding or mitzvah.  The high-resolution photos will also be uploaded to a password protected site, but you are also able to download those high res images from the website.  I will usually have a sneak-peak of photos back to you in a few days, and the rest within a few weeks.  Once the photos are uploaded, you can pick up your memory stick from the studio.

A beautiful album tells the story of the day, and becomes an important family heirloom, one that you will cherish forever and take out to show your grandchildren.  Most clients choose to purchase an album as part of their initial package in order to take advantage of the 15% – 30% savings on pre-purchased products.  The average book is between 18-28 spreads, and many options for COVERS and FONTS available, check them out HERE.  To get started on your album, go HERE.

The one thing I consistently hear from my clients is that the photography was relaxing and fun. My goal is to draw out the ‘real you‘, and sometimes the ‘real you’ can be hiding behind awkwardness and shyness, but once we surmount those hurdles, we always have a fantastic time.  My shooing style is laid-back and my posing natural but I will make sure that you look your absolute best in the photos.

I always bring at least one other photographer with me so as not to miss important moments.  If the wedding is large or logistically complicated, I would have additional photographers.  I’m well-staffed to make sure the day is well-covered.

Chances are that if you are in Toronto, I have come across your venue.  However, I love to photograph in new locations, and quite frequently travel for events.  I would be happy to visit your location with you prior to the day, or if the event is out of town, I will arrive early or the day before to make sure I know where the best spots are to photograph.

I am located in Toronto, but travel and photograph worldwide.  I love to travel and am always keen to add a new foreign city to my portfolio, and really, who doesn’t like to travel?

No two weddings are alike and weddings also vary by location, therefore I have different pricing for local weddings and weddings that require travel.  Destination weddings requiring staying overnight or flying are different as well, and I am very comfortable traveling for events. Rest assured that should you commission me to photograph your wedding and travel to you, you are hiring someone experienced with travel for business and photography. Travel is billed as such; if airfare, hotel, and rental car are needed, you are responsible for the reimbursement of the charges, that’s all.  Contact me HERE and I will be able to give you a more comprehensive price and an individual package once I know more details.  

It depends on the type of event you are having, however my staff and I will always dress professionally and appropriately for the location and event we will be shooting. This is after all, one of the most important days of you life so, and should be treated such.

It is generally considered a professional courtesy to feed the photographers.  Feeding us ensures we smile, remain on our feet, and don’t faint during a long day.  We do prefer to be fed when you eat, as we generally do not photograph your guests eating, so it’s a good time for us to take a break.  When you and your guests are done eating, so are we, and the coverage will continue seamlessly. (Jonni is vegetarian, Ben is a carnivore)

We will stay as long you want us to, or as long as you can party! Typically a wedding is 8-12 hours, and a mitzvah is 5-7 hours.  My coverage usually starts with the ‘getting ready‘ photos, and ends with you waving goodbye, but you will put together whatever package works for you.

Of course.  I have an overtime rate that goes into effect with your permission after our agreed upon coverage ends.  Maybe the event timing was wrong, or something not anticipated is scheduled to happen, or we’re just having too much fun not to document it forever.  I generally don’t plan for something right after your function, so it’s not a problem to stay longer if necessary.

The engagement session is important as it gives you a chance to work with me before the wedding day, and to trust my work and approach.  You will feel far more relaxed on your wedding day knowing the photos will turn out as expected.  Sessions are photographed in and around Toronto, usually in the late afternoon.  Parks, the Brickworks, Liberty Village, The Distillery, all make for fabulous photos.  Check out other examples HERE.

Family photos are the hallmark of the day, and they record an important time in history.  In my contract, there is a page for group photos, and I encourage you to think about who you will include in these.  I allow three minutes per grouping, so if you have 15 groups, think approximately 45-50 minutes to photograph them.  These groupings are quick, easy, and largely informal and I make them engaging and pleasant for everyone involved! 

A long list of posed photos is not impossible as long as you allow time in your schedule; I would not want posed photos to hinder my ability to capture the day in it’s entirety.

Of course, you need not look further then our in-house videographer extraordinaire, Mitch Belman. Go HERE to find out more.  Send us an email, and Mitch will contact with you directly regarding videography.

A special and delicate moment before the wedding ceremony when the bride and groom first lay eyes on each other.  Not traditional but worth every minute!  These few intimate minutes capture the joy and excitement of the wedding day before the craziness begins.  Remember, the wedding is about you, and once the ceremony is over, it can be difficult to find that ‘alone time’. If you’re up for this, we will make it a priority.

It’s another chance to get into your wedding attire to capture images without time constraints or responsibilities that may be imposed on your wedding day, and we can visit alternate locations that were not feasible on wedding day.  The options are limitless when, unlike on your wedding day, we do not have to worry about keeping your clothes pristine. We can climb statues and roof-tops, jump into fountains and lakes, and swing like Tarzan from a tree. This allows opportunity for some truly creative and fun images. The session can be scheduled anytime after the wedding. Check this one out, Sunday morning post-wedding jumping into the lake… dress and all!!!

I will always work with you to create a package that holds value and is attractive to suit your needs.  No two functions are alike, and therefore there are options to customize packages and work within a budget if necessary.  Wedding prices start HERE, and all mitzvah prices are listed HERE.

Custom photography is definitely an investment for both the photographer and the client. I recommend these two informative and well constructed articles if you’re interested in learning more about the difference between hiring a custom boutique-style photographer like myself to shoot those treasured moments, or hiring a high-volume studio.  The figures and times in these articles may not may not be exact but they are in the ball park.

Professional Child Photographer – Why Does Custom Photography Cost More?

The short answer is ‘whatever makes you feel comfortable‘. The more comfortable you are, the more comfortable you will appear. I recommend solid colours as these tend to photograph well. And while everyone loves “Twin Day” in the third grade, it doesn’t always make for good photos. If you do want to match, try choosing a colour palette and have everyone wear different shades of those colours. And if you can’t decide, bring along several changes of clothes.  After all, it should be fun.  There are many options when it comes to clothing, here are a few sample ideas to get you started.  If you are not sure, just e-mail me.

The one word that captures me is ‘Curious‘, and I mean about everything.  I’m the kid who would walk through the library and come home with 20 books about 20 different subjects.  These days the family takes up a lot of time, and I love spending it with them.  My stellar wife, 3 gorgeous kids, and I do a lot together.  By the way, you can see the kids growing up HERE.

Summers, I ride my bike fast almost every day, sometimes down a mountain but usually on the road… and in winter, I hang out most days with Denis Morton (maybe you get the reference, maybe not).  I teach guitar, bass, mandolin, or percussion when I have time, but I still get to play my instruments every day (I won’t travel anywhere without a guitar).  We belong to Alpine Ski Club, where I am a snowboard instructor on the weekends when I am behind a camera.   I rock climb, canoe, windsurf, SUP, play frisbee, and camp in the summer.  I used to do a lot of yoga, now just when I can’t ride my bike or when I’m injured. I read an awful lot, do stuff on my computer, and multi-task all the time. I sew, love origami, walk on stilts and can throw a boomerang (just odd bits of info here as a talking points). I love photography software and I am always learning. I love travelling. I make a pretty good pizza, eggplant parmesan, and my kids say I make the best crepes.  I love hanging with the family, and they have made me into who I am today.  Oh, and I own a mostly working 1979 VW Bus which is known to go camping. More to come…

Question… you in the back with the red shirt?

I have bookings in my calendar two years from today, but there are always dates available.  If you like what you see and want me to be the person to capture your special day, then connect with me and see if the date is available.  If it is available, I will pencil you in, and we can chat further.

Well, you are on my contact page, just scroll up the page or click HERE and fill it out an information form or just give me a call.  Once I have checked my availability, and we select the best package for you, I will send you a contract.  I cannot hold any date without both a deposit and contract, however once I have those, I am a phone-call or e-mail away as a friend, a resource, and an all-around nice guy.
