MEET ANDREAS
DOCUMENTARY WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER
While studying design, photography found me, and it’s become an integral part of my life since.
A background in design, architecture, and illustration, and an early interest in photojournalism and documentary photography led me to eventually exploring photography as my creative outlet, which turned into a career of producing work for national and international brands, before finding my way into this life of documenting private wedding celebrations.
For just over twenty years, I’ve witnessed and documented hundreds of celebrations, for couples representing a wide range of cultures, and traditions, locally within the Toronto area, as well as in Europe, Japan, and parts of the US.
Born in Toronto, I now live outside of the city with my wife and two daughters. What I’m most proud of as a father and husband, is being able to provide a supporting role in the lives of the women I share this life with.
The families that invite me into their lives to bear witness, and to create this body of work for them, are often looking for something that’s a little more personal and unique to them.
I create primarily for an audience of two, with the hope that these images will endure, and be displayed in your home, to be enjoyed for years to come.
Access to complete wedding galleries are available upon request.
