About Andreas

Black and white photo of two women getting ready, with a photographer in the background taking a picture of them.

Hello, I’m Andreas Avdoulos—a documentary wedding photographer specializing in intimate documentary photography of weddings and private family celebrations in Toronto, across Canada and Europe.

I help couples enjoy their wedding day by providing a relaxed photography experience so they can truly enjoy their wedding day. My approach is the same each time: put people at ease, and capture intimate, candid and relaxed images of everyone having a great time.

During my career as a photographer, I’ve photographed over five hundred weddings and private family gatherings across Canada and Europe, and the couples that choose me often tell me the entire process was effortless, from inquiry to delivery of the stunning set of photographs of their wedding.

“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
