• vé·ri·té (french): truth

    Our name is inspired by Cinema Vérité, the genre of filmmaking characterized by realistic, typically documentary motion pictures that avoid artificiality and artistic effect and are generally made with simple equipment so as to convey candid realism emphasizing realism and naturalism.

    We are Justin Runquist and Kristy Walker, and we are photojournalists converted to wedding documentarians and contemporary portrait photographers. Our goal is to heed our name and show the wedding day as a story that conveys the true emotions and unique aspects of each wedding.

We are going South of the Equator!

Posted in Destination, Justin Runquist, Kristy Walker

Studio Vérité Photography is beyond excited to announce that we are going to be shooting a wedding at the end of March in Mendoza, Argentina at the Septima Winery! Both Justin and I love shooting destination weddings. Over the past few years we have traveled throughout the continental Unites States, Maui, Mexico, Poland, and India to shoot destination weddings. They have all been amazing and special but all have been shot solo by either Justin or me. It  has been quite a journey for Justin and I who first met at a party for photojournalists years ago. Our first conversation was all about travel and our pre-career, carefree travels throughout Southeast Asia and Europe. We never could have dreamed then that our wedding photography, not our photojournalist careers, would take us across the world. We look forward to teaming up and shooting in Argentina and sharing that experience here with our photos!

OUR BEST OF 2011 PHOTOS!

Posted in Chicago, Justin Runquist, Kristy Walker, Real Weddings, San Diego, Southern California

A new year is under our feet and we are looking forward to what is ahead as far as the new couples we get to shoot and the wedding photos we have yet to capture and create. As a final salute to our fantastic 2011 wedding season we have chosen for one another our top photos of 2011 and have decided to showcase them in no particular order. It was a tough edit because we had many wedding hundreds of photos each. We say these are the BEST without confidence yet we can at least say they are some of our favorites for a variety of reasons. These photos are all shot by either Justin or Kristy and were shot mostly for Studio Vérité Photography while sometimes while working with another photographer as their 2nd shooter for the day. Many thanks to all our clients! It was very special to play a key role to a very important day and we appreciate you! If a photo from your wedding wasn’t pictured here, it’s probably because we were too lazy with our editing to search through it all and doesn’t mean we thought your shoot was inferior – we still love you and your photos! Anyway, we look forward to sharing exciting news for us in 2012.

Please like us HERE and HERE on Facebook!

With Much Appreciation!

Justin and Kristy

Nicole & Mike / Newport Beach, CA

Posted in Kristy Walker, Real Weddings, Southern California

Nicole and Mike were a kind and beautiful couple and I had a marvelous time shooting their wedding. I mean, should I complain about spending the day cruising the Newport Beach Harbor while shooting their ceremony and reception and topping that off with at hour at the beach on a beautiful day? Thanks to Nicole and Mike for giving me a great variety of portraits at the end of the day!

Liz and Garret – Firefly Grill

Posted in Uncategorized

Here is one from early in the season.  In May I travelled from Chicago to Effingham, Illinois to photograph Liz and Garret’s wedding.  The Firefly Grill is a venue my colleague Kristy Walker has raved about.  I definitely enjoyed my time spent with Liz and Garret’s family and friends on a very toasty May day.

Bob and Todd

Posted in Uncategorized

I had the honor and privilege of documenting Bob and Todd’s vows at the beautiful May Chapel in the Rosehill Cemetary.  Afterward guests joined Bob and Todd in the backyard of their home.

P.S.  The cupcake shown in the post was hands down the best I have ever had!

Thanks for looking.

-Justin
