Hey there, I’m Andreas.

I’m a Toronto documentary wedding photographer specializing in intimate documentary wedding photography in Toronto and abroad.

A client once said “Andreas, your photos feel like home” - and if I’m being honest, that really best describes my approach to this work. I’m dedicated to creating work for my clients that feel personal and completely unique to them.

Being someones wedding photographer is a fairly personal thing, and as your photographer, I’ll provide you with a set of one-of-a-kind photos that you too will want to showcase in your own home.

“Andreas was very easy-going and he made us feel comfortable. He managed to capture our wedding authentically while always conducting himself professionally, and our pictures turned out beautifully!”

– Lisa Mcilmoyle

The Experience

Intimate, personal, and your very own. A relaxed wedding photography experience without any fuss and distractions.

“We knew from looking all over Instagram that we didn’t want obviously staged images. Andreas gave us a set of beautifully honest and candid photos that we can call our own.”

– Liz Perry

A woman in a wedding dress is standing with her hands together, seemingly praying or giving thanks, in a decorated banquet hall with tables set for a celebration.

Your wedding, your vision. Seize the day.

By creating space for you to simply embrace and enjoy the wedding you’ve planned, I can capture the spontaneous moments as they happen. The wedding lasts a day, but these photos last a lifetime.

Three men smiling at a party, one with a glass of wine, the middle wearing a tuxedo, the right with a bracelet, in a dimly lit room with other guests in the background.

“I had been to a few weddings last summer and knew that for my wedding, I wanted a photographer to just be there as a guest, and that’s what we got. It was easy being photographed by you.”

– Jody

It’s about observing, not directing.

This isn’t about creating an editorialized and overly staged “picture perfect” image, but rather paying attention to what’s happening, to create a set of images that capture the energy and emotion of the day.

A group of people smiling and talking at an outdoor wedding celebration, including a woman with a veil and a man in a tuxedo with a bow tie, exchanging greetings.

A Foundation based on experience, and a passion for capturing the authentic.

Twenty years isn’t just a number, it’s the foundation of the experience and knowledge from having documented hundreds of weddings across a wide range of cultures and traditions.

A group of women, including a bride in a satin robe, are laughing and smiling together in a joyful moment.

What Documentary wedding photography is really all about.

It’s not just a trendy keyword, nor is it about recreating trendy images or working through a check list. It’s far more organic than that. It’s about observing and creating a set of images that are story driven.

Seize the day, and let me capture everything that happened.

Let me check if I’m available on your wedding date.

“Having Andreas photograph Sophie’s wedding felt as though he was just one of the guests. What I noticed was that he was calm and intentional in the moments he chose to capture.”

– David Massicott, Father of the Bride

Here’s why couples choose me to be their wedding photographer.

✓ I specialize in documentary-style wedding photography for couples looking for discreet service for their private family event, and I have done so exclusively for the past twenty years.

✓ I understand that your wedding day is meant to be with the people you love—not spent posing. I work with quiet intention, allowing moments to unfold naturally and without disruption.

✓ My approach is rooted in presence. You remain fully immersed in your celebration, while I thoughtfully document the day as it truly looked and felt—honest, beautiful, and unforced.

✓ I’ve photographed hundreds of weddings, across a wide range of cultures and traditions, and I bring both experience and sensitivity to every event. I know when to step in—and when to disappear into the background to let things unfold on their own.

✓ Your privacy is always respected. The photographs I create are for you and your family in mind and will only be posted online if you give me permission to do so.

✓ Clear, respectful communication is part of the service. I respond promptly—often the same business day—and remain accessible and involved throughout our time working together.

✓ From photographing to editing to final delivery, I personally handle every step of the process. This ensures a seamless experience and a cohesive, intentional body of work.
