It All Comes Down to the Details


I approach each and every wedding with fresh eyes and an open mind. I want my couples to have the true experience of their wedding day; the rush you feel as you walk down the aisle, the tears of joy, the feelings of love, the laughs, and the memories made with the people who matter most in your life as you say “I do.” 


I want you to relish in these moments and focus on the connection you have with each other, so you can relax and experience your wedding day as the celebration of love that it is. My goal is not to turn your wedding into a photoshoot but be fully present in order to capture all the wonderful moments, details, and connections that will be all around us.  


Our Goals

Help You Be Yourself

Our focus is on capturing authentic moments, and to do that you need to feel comfortable. We create a relaxed environment so that can happen. This also means guidance and direction over posing whenever possible, and allowing events to unfold naturally.


.

Tell a Story

Your wedding day is unique. You are unique. Your photographs will be unique. Our goal is to create a collection of photographs that tell the story of you & your day, from documenting candids to guiding portraits, and all the beautiful details in between.


.

Capture Genuine Moments

Real moments can't be staged. We give space for those moments to happen as much as possible, but can step in when necessary. We want to create an environment that allows people to put their guard down and express genuine emotions.


.

Leave a Great Impression

We will be closer to you on your wedding day than just about any other vendor, and even most of your friends and family. We want to be seen as friends, as part of the group, so that everyone can feel safe enough around us to be themselves.

Do you have a second shooter?

Yes, a second shooter is always an option. We will advise you about how a second photographer could benefit your day after we review the timelines and chat about your needs. That said, most of the work you see on this site comes from shooting solo - it helps with the intimacy and comfort level to have a smaller footprint.

Do you offer video?

We work with a lot of videographers that we are happy to recommend to you. We believe in being a master of one (photography) instead of a jack-all-trades, so our emphasis is on photography alone.

Do you shoot film?

Yes, we consider ourselves hybrid film photographers. That means we shoot both digital and film on your wedding day, and edit the digitals to look like the film. This means the best of both worlds - the dreaminess and colours of film, but the reliability, speed, and cost of digital. Furthermore, we use special lenses on our digital cameras that help emulate the "look" of film and analogue cameras even further.
