Talented and dedicated artist

Ted is an absolute delight to work with. His talent and professionalism truly made our special day unforgettable. From our first meeting, we were impressed by his warm demeanor and genuine enthusiasm for his craft. His creative vision and attention to detail were evident in every shot he captured.

Each image told a story, and the entire album was a perfect blend of artistry and storytelling. The editing was impeccable, highlighting the natural beauty of the moments captured. We have received countless compliments from friends and family, all of whom were as impressed as we were.

Thank you once again for your exceptional work. You played a significant role in making our wedding day perfect, and we will be forever grateful for the beautiful memories you have given us. We wholeheartedly recommend The MOU Studio's services to anyone in need of a talented, professional, and personable photographer.

The perfect wedding shots

Ted has been such a pleasure to work with. We had to change so many things with our wedding especially with covid but he has been nothing but patient and understanding of our situation. We had a consultation with him where he took the time to learn our story and the shots we want and he also showed us the photos he took and his style which works perfectly with us. He definitely made sure to capture perfect shots of our wedding and even came early at the ceremony to make sure everything is all set and took photos of everything he can. He is a very talented gentleman and I highly recommend him to everyone who wants a perfect wedding!

Picture perfect experience!

Ted was our photographer for our mini wedding this past July, where we encountered true Calgarian weather from sunny skies to thunderstorm and hail. Ted was absolutely amazing to work with from our initial meet and greet at his studio to receiving our final photos. He didn't forget to check in on us during COVID. He made sure we were ok with the weather we might encounter. He was incredibly professional and passionate throughout the whole process. You could tell how much he truly loved his job every step of the way. He even stood under pouring rain spouts to get the perfect pictures! The final photos we received were phenomenal and way beyond our already high expectations. To top it off we received all our photos in a very timely manner. The overall experience was worth every penny. Ted deserves way more than 5/5 stars and we would definitely recommend him to all our family and friends!

A True Artist

Everything about Ted's photos is wonderful, we are SO in love with them! If you want more than just "wedding photos" then go with Ted, every single shot has such true artistry and originality. He is able to truly capture every aspect of the wedding from the little details to the overall aesthetic. We weren't completely sold on the cost of wedding photography until now, because so many people were telling us that they never look at their wedding photos, but I know I will look at them over and over for the rest of our lives! I got them a week ago and I think I have glanced at them at least five times a day. Ted is incredibly responsive and is able to improvise on the spot with whatever you give him to work with. He is also reasonably priced considering the quality and precision of the photos. I know we don't just have boring photos that will eventually go out of style, we have ART to proudly display on our walls!!! I 100% recommend The Mou Studio to anyone who wants some style and individuality incorporated into their photos.

Ted @ The Mou Studio is phenomenal.

We were particularly attracted to his artistic style, and wanted a photographer that was able to produce timeless work that wasn't the run-of-the-mill, cheesy style. Ted made us feel at ease, and was extremely friendly and accommodating. He delivered many high resolution, retouched photos that we are extremely proud of. We are excited about sharing them via our wedding website.

The Mou Studio are very fairly priced. I'd even go as far as to say that they should charge more, as their work really stands out from the competition.

If we weren't getting married across the other side of the world, we would absolutely have used Ted for our wedding photos.

Ted is the BEST!

Ted was amazing to work with! He was very professional and patient with my (now) husband and I. He made us feel very comfortable and gave us a lot of (much needed) guidance throughout our engagement photos and wedding day photos. He was also extremely accommodating in letting us have our dog in our engagement photos.

Very professional. He captured the moment that I want and over my expectations. He is so great to help us to keep our memories for the big day.The most impressed me is the moment that he climbed to the higher point of taking a photo for us and the guests. And there is one more thing that when he is gonna to take some pictures, he is calm and quiet when I am shy in the first, which makes me feel comfortable. When I adapted to his existence, he would relax us to make the happy picture. Honestly, he is so careful to watch us, and try his best to relax us.
