Questions To Ask Your Wedding Photographer Before Hiring Them.

Do you travel or only photograph weddings in your area?

Most of the weddings I shoot are in Toronto, but I photograph weddings all across Southern Ontario — Muskoka, Niagara-on-the-Lake, Prince Edward County, you name it.

I also photograph destination weddings, and over the years I’ve worked throughout Europe, including France, Italy, Greece, and as far as Japan.

If I can get there by plane or car, I can be there to photograph your wedding.

How would you describe your style?

My work is rooted in candid, documentary photography. I’m there to observe, not orchestrate (at all, ever). The images on my site are a very accurate reflection of my approach — intimate, dramatic, honest, and very much in the moment.

I don’t interrupt things or ask you to recreate moments. I work close to the action, blended in with your guests, so I can photograph the day as it naturally unfolds. What you get are real moments, not staged versions of them.

What kind of preparation do you do before the wedding day?

There are several phone calls prior to the wedding day so that we get to know one another. About a month before the date, we’ll either do a zoom call or meet in person to go over the plans, schedule of events and any important details that need to be talked about.

On my side, I keep things simple and reliable — I use professional Fuji equipment, always have backups with me, and I arrive early so I’m never rushing. It’s important to me that everything is calm and predictable behind the scenes so I can stay fully focused on the people and moments in front of me.

Do you deliver images in colour or black & white? And do you edit everything?

Every image you receive is hand-edited by me.
Most of my candid work leans toward black and white — it’s where I feel the emotion and the story live most naturally. I usually choose colour where it lends itself to the story or the image. If colour is an important element in the photograph, the image stays in colour.

Everything is delivered in the final curated version; nothing is left unedited or straight-out-of-camera.

Do you take group photos?

Yes, absolutely — even though my work is primarily candid, every wedding needs a few family groupings. I keep them simple, relaxed, and quick so you’re not standing around for long. I usually say, plan for about ten minutes of your day to be this part.

How do we book?

If your date is available, we’ll set up a quick call first.
From there, I’ll send you a contract to review and sign online. A 50% retainer is required at the same time to secure the date.

Once that’s done, you’re officially booked.

What happens after the wedding?

I personally edit your entire wedding gallery, and depending on the time of year, this usually takes up to 8 weeks (often much faster though, especially for smaller weddings). When everything is ready, you’ll receive a private online gallery to view, download, and share.
Albums, if you choose to order one, take approximately 6–8 weeks for design and production.

Anything else we should know about you?

I’ve been photographing weddings since 2003 and have worked with couples from all kinds of backgrounds and traditions, from multi-day celebrations with hundreds of guests to intimate gatherings with just a handful of people.

I work alone, I stay fully present, and I approach every wedding with the same goal — to create photographs that feel honest, close, and deeply personal.

Are you a full-time photographer?

Yes, this is my full-time work and has been for over 20 years. I take on a limited number of weddings per year so each one gets my full attention, and every part of the process — shooting, editing, and delivery — is done entirely by me.
