Hello, I’m Andreas Avdoulos—a documentary photographer specializing in intimate and candid documentary photography of weddings and private family celebrations.

I help couples enjoy their wedding day by providing a relaxed and stress free photography experience - because I know that most people would rather celebrate their day with their friends and family than spend hours taking posed photos.

I’ve had the privilege of bearing witness to over 500 weddings and private family gatherings across Canada and Europe, and it’s with that experience and knowledge that I’m able to work in the way I do.

My work is rooted in an honest, documentary approach — capturing your day as it unfolds, naturally and without much intrusion, direction or distractions.

If you're looking for a thoughtful, natural approach to documenting your day, you can begin reach out to me today to inquire about my availability and to get pricing information.

Below is a selection of images that reflect my approach as a documentary wedding photographer —candid, intimate, true-to-life and quietly observant.
