Hi again! I know that most people don’t actually read everything online, but please try before inquiring, it will save you and me a lot of time.

I know that finding the right photographer is a daunting task. There are literally thousands of us in Toronto!

I tend to be chosen by down to earth couples who really just want to enjoy their wedding day without all the usual stress or fuss often associated with “wedding photography” like posing or being told how to perform.

Here are some Questions and Answers that should help.

  • I shot my first wedding back in 2003 while I was working full time in advertising as a retoucher and designer.

    Since then, I’ve photographed several hundred weddings locally as well as abroad for couples representing a wide range of cultures and traditions.

  • I live outside of Toronto with my wife and two daughters in the town of Fergus (just north of Guelph Ontario), and most of the weddings I photograph are anywhere between here, downtown Toronto, across to Niagara-on-the Lake and a few in cottage country.

  • I very much work alone at every wedding that I photograph. The couples that hire me often don’t really want the usual routine associated with “wedding photography”.

    My method is based on over 20+ years of experience. It’s just me, a few cameras, no big distractions or fuss.

  • If you like, yes. Most weddings do involved some sort of family group shots, and some portraits of the two of you. Some couples do ask me from time to simply document the day from my perspective, and not interact at all.

    I always say, it’s your wedding - you decide what you want, not me!

  • I never promise a certain hourly rate of shots.

    What I photograph often is based on what happens during your wedding!

    Everything is fair game, there are no rules, no shot lists, no “must have” images.

    I can’t tell you a number, but you will get them all, because I’m really only there to provide you with this visual record of the day.

    Your wedding isn’t a portfolio building or marketing solution for me, so I shoot what I think is meaningful, and interesting, and then give you those images.

  • Since 2003 when I shot my first wedding, I’ve photographed several hundred weddings varying in scale from five guests to over one thousand. Budgets for those weddings ranged from small, to millions. I’ve photographed a wide range of cultures and traditions.

    While they were all vastly different, what has kept my attention and interest wasn’t how big the production or budget was, it was the people.

    I’m really unbiased in what “type” of wedding I will photograph, however I have made a decision recently to make myself more accessible to people with smaller budgets as well as those planning large multi day productions.

  • I don’t really do “packages”.

    Every couple that hires me gets my full attention for the duration of time that I’m at their wedding, and the complete set of photographs delivered to them digitally and in print form.

    Most of the time I arrive at weddings shortly after hair/make up have started, and I usually leave about an hour into the party after first dances.

    For smaller, simpler weddings you can budget between $2500 - $4000 and for more involved events around $5500+

    The final price does vary based on the scale and duration of the event I’m covering, any plans for travel, and the amount of prints I’m delivering, so once we speak about the details I can provide you with an accurate quote.

  • The very first step is to simply email, call or text me today. Once I confirm that your date is still available, we’ll schedule a time to get to know one another and review your plans.

    A signed agreement and payment of a retainer is required to secure your date.

    Everything is done online and you’ll receive a proposal shortly after our phone call.

  • The majority of the work I create never gets shared online. I hardly post anything on Instagram as well.

    In fact, as of this year I’ve decided to take a hiatus from social media all together.

    Most of the couples that hire me don’t have IG accounts and most want their images kept private, so I start with that as the assumption of whether your photos are shared or not.

    Your wedding day isn’t some marketing opportunity for me – I have photographed enough weddings that I don’t need your wedding to be the next event I promote with.

    Once I deliver your photos to you, what you do, where you share them is entirely up to you.
