IMPORTANT WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY DETAILS YOU MAY BE INTERESTED IN…
Please don’t inquire without reading everything — it will save you and I a lot of time. I want to make sure you’re aligned with how I work and what I provide before we get to know one another.
I know that finding the right photographer is a daunting task. There are literally thousands of us in Toronto! Before you inquire though, I should let you know that I’m not the right photographer for every couple.
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, and I tend to enjoy photographing weddings for couples who view their day like this as well.
They’ve all told me that they want great photos of this day, showing who was there, and what it looked like from the perspective of their guests.
My method of photographing is the same at each wedding: it’s just me, my two small cameras, and my promise that I won’t make the wedding day about me or the process of being photographed.
This is your day, I’m just there to observe and document it as you planned it, and as it takes place, and present you with images that you can use to tell your own stories of what this day was like for you.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
A lot of your photos look very intimate, almost like you know the people personally - how do you get those photos?
I do not alter, stage, direct, or add or take away anything. I don’t ask people to pose or re enact anything at all. My work is based primarily on trust. Trust is everything. I get to know you well in advance of the wedding day, so on the day we’re just hanging out. I’ve also been doing this for a while, so I know how to handle all sorts of situations and different types of people.
What exactly is documentary / candid wedding photography? We see this word used a lot.
You’re right, it is a keyword that is used a lot, especially in 2026 as it’s very “on trend” to say you are a documentary wedding photographer. Everyone wants “real” photos - or at least they say they do, but then end up sharing a Pinterest page full of obviously staged, posed, directed images. What I do is this - I don’t do any of that. Yes, it’s harder to photograph a wedding like this, but I’ve been doing this for well over twenty years! When I’m photographing your wedding, I’m looking at the bigger picture - first the scenery, then the people, then the emotions and interactions with those closest to you. I observe, document, and present you with images that can never, ever, ever be copied or repeated in any way whatsoever. In no way do I set up moments to “happen” - if your wedding is chill then your wedding photos will look like that. If you’re having a wild party, chances are the photos will also reflect that energy. I can only shoot what happens.
Do we get any posed photos at all?
That depends - do you want any? Most couples ask me to take a few quick relaxed portraits of the two of them at some point, and some family group shots. That is just standard and should always be done, but you can do this in a few minutes throughout the day, you don’t need to make a big deal about it. Do I pose you? Like do I physically move you around or tell you how to hold one another? No, never - because two people in love always know how to just be together and I feed off of that energy and shoot that.
Can you tell us how many photos we will get?
Hundreds….but photography isn’t a volume game. It’s about capturing the right moments and creating a sequence of images that shows the vibe of the day and what happened. I don’t promise a set number of images per hour - that’s not really productive and not where the value lies. The number really depends on what the wedding day is like, how long I’m there for, and what you’ve planned and what the overall vibe of the day is.
Do you photograph all types of weddings?
Yes - if you ask and it’s a good fit, then I’ll see you at your wedding day.
So who is “the right couple” for you then?
I don’t really like the term “ideal client” because that sounds like I’m only interested in photographing the rich and famous and only want to be known as a luxury wedding photographer. However, if I were to look back over the several hundred wedding I’ve shot - my “ideal” couple would be two people who are really into each other, love their friends and family, and who just want to enjoy their wedding day socializing and interacting with them.
They aren’t overly precious about the process, and they know that the day won’t be perfect because that’s an unattainable goal anyway. They want beautiful, interesting, funny, personal photographs that are only for them.
Do you photograph every wedding yourself?
Yes - unless something were to happen to me, I’ll be there with my cameras and my full attention. I don’t ever book weddings and send photographers found on Facebook to cover me (something that unfortunately is done far too much lately!)
What are your prices and do you do discounts or special deals?
In this economy? No, I do not offer discounts =) I price myself pretty fairly given I will likely be the only vendor at your wedding with 20 years of experience. If you’re choosing a photographer solely on the lowest price available, you’ll find those photographers on local Facebook pages offering a full wedding day for $500.
You can visit my pricing page to read about what I charge, what you get, and how soon after your wedding you’ll get it.
What sort of cameras do you use?
These days, it doesn’t actually matter - every digital camera is incredible. Over my career as a photographer I’ve owned and shot almost every type of camera, but what I do all my work on now, both personally and professionally are the Fuji cameras. They are small, the resolution is perfect, the black and white and colour images are fantastic.
