Make Your Break with Jai Long
I’m endlessly fascinated by people — the way someone softens when they look at the person they love, the unguarded laugh, the way a parent instinctively reaches for their child’s hand. Those are the things I’m chasing when I photograph a wedding.
My work has brought me to celebrations in Mexico, Europe, western Canada, and the most beautiful venues here in Ottawa. Each place is different, but my approach never changes: slow down, observe, and photograph what’s real with care and intention.
Outside of weddings, you’ll find me with my husband, our two daughters, and our bulldog, Marshall. I love exploring new cities, wandering through bookstores, and driving aimlessly with good music on.
I believe the best stories are the ones that feel lived-in — a little imperfect, a lot honest, and full of heart.
iI. Philosophy
iII. Experience
Your wedding is more than a timeline — it’s a living, breathing experience made up of atmosphere, emotion, and the people who make it meaningful.
I blend editorial composition with intuitive, lived-in storytelling, guiding when it’s helpful and stepping back when the moment needs space. It’s a balance of artistry and honesty — the kind of imagery that lets you feel your day long after it’s passed.
I believe the best photographs don’t simply show what happened.
They pull you back into the warmth, the movement, and the love.
That feeling-first approach shapes everything I create.
With over a decade of experience, I bring a calm, capable presence and a sensitivity to the nuances of people and place.
Whether it’s a multi-day celebration in Italy or an intimate ceremony close to home, my process is grounded, intentional, and rooted in trust. I take on a limited number of weddings each year so every story receives the care and focus it deserves.
I pay attention to the details that often go unnoticed: how the light moves through a room, the way your friends pull you into a hug, the moment your shoulders finally relax.
That’s where the real story lives — the one worth preserving.
Preserving the way your day feels – not just what it looks like.
