Documentary Wedding Photographer in Toronto.

Hello, my name is Andreas and I am a Toronto based photographer of people.

For over twenty years I’ve photographed weddings and events in my very candid and intimate first person style of photography.

The images I create are honest, in the moment and completely unique to each event I’m photographing.

This approach allows me to capture images that give a behind-the-scenes look into how the wedding took place.

My goal each time is to create a completely original set of photographs that showcase the vibe of the day, the emotions and expressions and the way it all felt from an insiders perspective.

My method of photographing a wedding is the same each time; put people at ease, establish a sense of trust, and capture candid and relaxed photographs of everyone enjoying your day.

“From start to finish, Andreas has been super supportive, involved, and fun to work with - our guests loved him!”

– Melissa Younan

A couple is at a celebration, with the woman in a wedding dress and the man in a shirt, standing closely. The woman is holding a drink, and the man is whispering in her ear. Several people are in the background, some holding drinks.

“We had a wonderful experience with Andreas! His pictures were exactly what we had hoped for.”

– Christy McKean

“Andreas knows how to capture emotion. It’s very easy for someone to come and take a bunch of photos but to capture emotion takes a special eye and makes those photos come to life.”

– Michael Marzetti, Porsche Canada
