The ritual of marriage is one that binds us all, across all faiths and cultures. To be invited to bear witness to this is an incredible honour.

– Andreas Avdoulos, Documentary Wedding Photographer

My fascination with the documenting one of the rituals that connect us all, across faiths and cultures began years ago at a family wedding.

I didn’t know it then, but those three rolls of black and white film that I photographed for myself would mark the beginning of my career as a documentary wedding photographer.

The wedding industry has many couples believing that their wedding day has to be perfect, down to the last little detail in order for it to mean anything. While aesthetics are nice, I see far past that and focus on what makes each wedding truly one-of-a-kind and memorable – the people.

As a Toronto-based documentary wedding photographer, I’ve been invited into the lives of hundreds of couples, both here and abroad. I bring my whole self to every wedding I photograph, but the work is only made possible by the access and trust that my clients provide me with.

Being a documentary style wedding photographer is a delicate role.

We’re there beside you and your families during one of life’s most meaningful days.

Our responsibility is to feel what’s happening, to observe with sensitivity, and to honour the access we’ve been given.

My approach is gentle, unobtrusive, and as stress-free as I can make it.

The result is a series of intimate, candid and very personal images that reflect the heart of the wedding experience.

There are so many different styles of wedding photography, and so many trends, but honestly, I don’t think wedding photography needs to be more complicated than that.

The photographer is taking a picture, and the woman in the background is wearing a strapless dress and a necklace. The scene appears to be in a dressing room or studio.

Below you’ll find a portfolio of my work. If it aligns with how vision of how you’d like to spend your wedding day, let’s get to know one another.

If your date is available, we’ll schedule a call to get to know one another.

Thank you for spending time here.

I look forward to hearing your story and learning what matters most to you.
