Wedding Photography

Nice to meet you.

I grew up in St Catharines, ON loving to meet new people and photograph life around me. After moving to Toronto to work in advertising, I realized that I like working with companies, but I really love working with people.

I’m super curious about people and their values, interests, and what makes them unique. This is the most important part of my work, and informs how I approach every wedding I photograph.

Outside of work, I like being active outdoors, knitting, and hosting dinner parties! Making new friends is my favourite, and I consider myself lucky to capture people's wedding days.

Thanks for reading a little about me, but I'd love to hear about you! Reach out anytime and I'm happy to chat over zoom, coffee, or a hike to see if we may be a good fit.

Some questions I get asked a lot,
and some things that are good to know.

  • I typically offer two packages based on your needs.

    Full Package meant for a full wedding day of ~8 hours, with typically 400-500 final photos delivered.

    Elopement Package meant for a shorter day of 4-6 hours, with about 200-400 final photos delivered.

    Both packages typically include labour costs, travel costs, retouched and edited high resolution images delivered via an online gallery, among other things!

  • I know it would be great if I had a one size fits all price tag, however pricing depends on the unique needs of your day including things like:

    • the location

    • length of the day

    • demand of the day

    • how many people you expect to attend

    • your preference on film/digital

    With that in mind:

    The Full Package investment averages about $3500

    The Elopement Package investment averages about $2100

    Your day is special, and I want to make sure I’m quoting you fairly and accurately to capture it perfectly - reach out about my pricing guide so we can find something that works for you!

  • Yes!

    Engagement sessions are around an hour long, and include 50+ high resolution retouched and edited images delivered via a shareable online gallery.

    We can go to one or two different locations that are special to you, or I’m happy to give suggestions of beautiful spots! I’ll also send you my wardrobe tips, and help you choose your perfect outfits.

    An engagement photo session is $275, however if you book the full wedding package it’s included at no added cost!

  • I’m currently based out of Vancouver, BC, however I shoot weddings across Canada! Places I’m most familiar with are:

    • Greater Vancouver Area, BC

    • Vancouver Island, BC

    • Greater Toronto Area, ON

    • Niagara Region, ON

    • Owen Sound + Grey Bruce Peninsula, ON

    • Calgary, AB

    That being said, I’m always looking for an excuse to travel and shoot somewhere new, and I’d be happy to work with you wherever in the world you are!

  • I take a documentary style approach, meaning I want to capture the day as it comes. You’ve planned something so special, and I want you to look back on it as it was authentically.

    That being said, I’m great at arranging family photos so it’s nicely composed, nobody looks out of place, and your weird uncle doesn’t look so weird.

    If I had to ballpark, it ends up about 75% real and 25% posed.

  • You bet - email me :)

  • Admittedly, sorting through thousands of photos individually, retouching + editing, curating, exporting, and uploading is a lengthy process - but good things take time and it’s important to get it right.

    I estimate turn around at 4-8 weeks.

  • Typically between 400-600, depending on the length of the day, size of the wedding, etc.
