A Toronto Documentary Wedding Photographer Capturing Up Close & Personal, Candid & Authentic Moments With Intention & Connection.

Hey there, thanks for your visit today.

I’m Andreas, a Toronto documentary wedding photographer who captures very intimate, candid and relaxed images at weddings in Toronto and across Ontario.

Before you take a look at my work, I’d love to tell you a little bit about myself and the work I do for the couples that choose me to photograph their wedding.

Being a wedding photographer is very unique and specific type of work. I arrive at your wedding, meet your friends and family, capture intimate and personal images for you, and then when it’s all done I leave; only to do it all over again the next weekend with another couple.

When deciding who will photograph your wedding, choosing this person isn’t as simple as just liking their “photography style”. That’s really just one part of it.

What you’re essentially doing is inviting someone into your inner circle, to be a part of what will be one of the most intimate, emotional, and exciting days in your lives together

That’s why establishing a sort of connection and shared values is an important part of the process, especially if you want candid wedding photographs that feel personal and unique to the two of you.

The way I photograph a wedding is based on the art of observation over fabrication.

These personal images are created by me, just for you and your family. They aren’t cookie-cutter content for a superficial online audience.

My sole responsibility as your wedding photographer is to create a body of work that showcases how the day went down, what it looked like, who was there, and what the overall vibe was.

Being your photographer isn’t just a financial transaction for me. I get to know my couples fairly well leading up to the wedding day, and the way I do this work is a personal thing for me.

My wife and I will be soon be celebrating twenty one years of marriage, and together we are parents to three children.

I began photographing weddings around the same time that I met her, and this experience as husband and father has certainly influenced what I focus on when documenting this day for others.

I find that I’m now at a place in my own life where I fully appreciate and understand what you’re going through, but I also connect with the parent’s side of the story as well.

It’s not so much about the “stuff” but more about the human experience.

I know that you have an almost endless supply of photographers that you can choose from, and I’m grateful that you’re here considering me.

If you’re looking for someone to capture genuine, candid and personal wedding photographs, you’re at the right place.

I’m not the right photographer for every couple, but depending on what you value most, I may be the right photographer for you.

A LITTLE NOTE FROM ANDREAS

I photograph weddings in Toronto and surrounding areas, with the mindset of me being at an event for my own family, simply observing and capturing memorable moments — not directing or staging, nothing really pre-determined — just me, a camera, and my full attention on what happens around me.

I believe the my role as your photographer isn’t actually to “tell your story” but to present you with a set of images made from my point of view, from my experience of your day, so that you can remember it, and tell your own stories, through your own perspective years later.

This isn’t about recreating trendy images, working with a pre-determined shot list, or even really planning anything out (except the family portraits). For me, it’s about the art and skill of observing over fabricating. The only way to truly capture this day authentically is to let go of the idea of creating images that show “perfection”.

I also think it’s very important that the photography experience for you is relaxed and as stress free as possible, which is why I work alone on the wedding day. It’s just me, and a couple of cameras. No big production or distractions on your wedding day.

Other couples that have also chosen me as their photographer feel the same way. They often tell me in our initial phone call what they value, and posing for staged, formulaic photographs is certainly not on that list.

They want great photos, are willing to invest in that, but don’t want to be forced into being performative for the sake of some photos - after all, the wedding is enough of a performance as it is.

If this is the experience you’re looking for from your wedding photographer, and the work I’ve presented resonates with you, I would love to hear from you.

Thanks for your time, I’m looking forward to getting to know you.
