Andreas documents the ritual of marriage by capturing the unexpected, unscripted & candid moments of human connection.

By immersing himself in the wedding experience and committing to capturing moments of authenticity over anything staged, Andreas’ images challenge the preconceived idea of what a wedding photograph must be.

For the past two decades Andreas has photographed hundreds of multi-cultural weddings locally in the Toronto area, as well as abroad for private couples who want nothing more than to enjoy their wedding day fully with those closest to them.

While the majority of his work as a photographer has been spent documenting private wedding celebrations, he reluctantly calls himself a “wedding photographer” — mostly because the work he creates doesn’t follow the styles or trends within the wedding industry.

His work is documentary in nature, focusing on the human experience of this once-in-a-lifetime moment in our lives that connects us all.

“We wanted photographs that show us, but more importantly, we really want to see our guests enjoying our wedding day as well.”

— Hannah & Daniella

A Note from Andreas.

The process of working together as your photographer starts with connection. This is a fundamental part of the process of creating work that’s unique and personal to you and your families.

Once I confirm if your date is still available, we’ll schedule a time to have a conversation to get to know one another and review your wedding plans. We’ll meet before your wedding day as well to continue that conversation, and take a few photographs of the two of you before you become husband and wife.

On the wedding day, I work alone, and my presence is basically one of a guest — meaning I don’t make the wedding day about me or about the process of being photographed.

My approach is relaxed and fairly low key, allowing you to enjoy your day without the stress of having to perform for the camera. By immersing myself in your celebration and experiencing the day with you, the images I create are more intimate and personal rather than controlled or staged.

To inquire about having me photograph your wedding, you can contact me today by email or by calling 416 474 5014 during regular business hours in Toronto.

“You managed to capture the most honest images of my parents we’ve ever seen. Pure perfection Andreas! I can’t stop looking at our wedding photos! Thank you so much!”
