I began my creative life 100% sure I was going to be a graphic designer. I went to school for that, and then one day found myself working for one of Toronto’s top advertising and commercial photographers as his retouching artist - that’s where I learned about photography.
Never at any point in school, or when working with other photographers as a retoucher did I think “I’ll photograph weddings” …it was just never on my radar.
Weddings sort of just happened, by way of a girlfriends cousin’s wedding, and me bringing a camera with a few rolls of black and white film to that wedding.
While working in house at an ad agency retouching thousands of photographs of food and product photography, I began photographing weddings on the side. I needed something more challenging and creative to do. Eventually I left the other job and have been “a wedding photographer” ever since.
I’ve photographed weddings for about as long as I’ve been married - just over 20 years. We have three kids together, two dogs, and now live north of Guelph Ontario with them all.
Being a fairly typical creative / adhd type, I once did a full 180 from weddings and opened a small speciality espresso bar called Caffeina.
In addition to weddings, I’ve produced documentary photography for corporate and commercial clients in Toronto
Meet Andreas, Toronto based Documentary Wedding Photographer.
Hi there, I’m Andreas Avdoulos, a Toronto documentary wedding photographer. I’ve spent over two decades documenting weddings locally and abroad.
I work with private clients to provide them with one-of-a-kind images of their wedding day experience.
I approach each wedding as an observer, capturing real, unplanned moments so that years from now, you can relive the day and tell your own stories through my photographs.
I work in a very relaxed, candid, first person’s documentary style, prioritizing observation over fabrication. I don’t chase trends, follow rigid shot lists, or turn your wedding into a big production.
There’s beauty in the imperfect fleeting moments, and that’s where my attention stays.
To make the process of being photographed as relaxed as possible, I choose to work alone at each event I photograph. This allows me to be blend in and be part of the wedding day, rather than be the focus or a distraction.
If this approach resonates with you, and are interested in learning more, I invite you to reach out to me today to start that conversation.
