Professional photographer "I contacted juggernautx photography and they simply and professionally captured the event. Thank you again" Based in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan (327 miles from Calgary) Tina. S

Event/Wedding/Liturgy/Portrait Photography "We had her for two hours for a portrait shooting session. We wanted some Fall portraits for our family. It was my son's first time seeing the leaves change so we wanted something to commemorate it. She sent us very beautiful pics, edited also. We are thinking we will do a Winter one maybe once we are back from India. Very friendly lady very accommodating."

Agni Frames "Very happy we could work with Agni at our wedding. He stood out from all the other offers we’ve received and I’m very happy our day was vacant. He is very professional from very first moment we’ve interacted through the whole preparation process. We’ve met personally before the wedding, he had very nice advice for us. And generally very pleasant person to communicate and work with. During the wedding he fit the environment very nicely, being able to capture important moments without dragging to much attention to actual photography process. He was very nice with the guests and was able to interact in international wedding where some people didn’t speak neither Finnish or English. I couldn’t recommend Agni for your special day more!" Based in Helsinki, Uusimaa, Finland (4,421 miles from Calgary) Katsiaryna Mustonen - Wedding

Bigwig Photography "We booked Bigwig Photography for our Copenhagen City Hall elopement and honestly could not have asked for a better experience. From the very first communication everything was professional, clear and easy, which was really reassuring when planning a wedding from the UK. On the day we worked with Nertila and she was absolutely fantastic. From the moment we met her she made us feel completely relaxed and comfortable. She guided us naturally without anything feeling staged or awkward, and her calm, friendly approach made the whole experience really enjoyable. Very quickly it felt less like working with a photographer and more like having a friend with us on the day. Her knowledge of Copenhagen was brilliant and she took us to some beautiful spots around the city for photos after the ceremony. She knew exactly where to go and how to make the most of the surroundings and light, which resulted in some incredible photos that feel very natural and authentic. When we received the photos we were genuinely blown away. The editing style is elegant and timeless and the quality of the images is exceptional. She captured so many small moments that really tell the story of the day. If you are planning a Copenhagen City Hall wedding or elopement we would highly recommend Bigwig Photography, and especially Nertila. Professional, talented and a genuine pleasure to spend the day with. We now have an incredible set of photos that we will treasure forever." Based in Copenhagen, Capital Region, Denmark (4,456 miles from Calgary) 15th March 2026 Matthew Duric - Wedding
