About

Hi, I’m Hugh. I split my time between my quaint home on the ocean in Nova Scotia and anywhere else in the world that I can find waves to surf. I have an all-consuming passion for photography that, over the past 20 years, has taken me to some incredible places and introduced me to so many wonderful people. I am fascinated by people watching. There are so many meaningful gestures, looks and smiles that make us who we are. I am a candid documentary photographer, who loves to capture beautiful light and real moments. I offer customised packages, even for smaller weddings.

Hugh is Amazing to work with!

Hugh photographed our wedding and we were so happy with our decision to work with him. He was very professional and a quick communicator prior to the day. He was incredibly kind and pleasant to work with; he made us laugh all day and made us comfortable in front of the camera. He showed up early to scout out some good locations and we felt he made the absolute best use of our time together - we really felt that we were in good hands. We have received our sneak peak and are thrilled with the photos so far - we cant wait to see the rest! We would highly recommend Hugh, he is fantastic photographer and person, you will enjoy his service and also spending time with him. Thanks Hugh for making our day so special! Lisa & Tyler

Trust me, it's worth it!

Hugh is an exceptionally talented photographer! He has an amazing eye and he makes photographs look like pieces of art. Hugh took the time to really get to know my fiancé and I before the wedding and by the time he took our engagement pictures we felt like he was an old friend. This made it so easy to take pictures with him. Hugh really knows how to make people feel at ease and he has an amazing ability to capture not only the entire wedding day but who you are as a couple as well. His catch phrase is "Trust me, it'll be worth it..." he says this when he wants you to go into a strange spot and take a picture. Trust me, it is worth it! We've never had such beautiful pictures taken in our lives. Our wedding day was everything we hoped for and we are so thankful that Hugh was able to literally capture every moment! We highly recommend Hugh Whitaker for anyone's wedding, believe us, he's worth it!!!!

Just do yourself a favor and book Hugh.

I can't even believe that I forgot to write a review for Hugh! Ah, the post-wedding to-do list. Am I right? We got married out west on Vancouver Island, but wanted some photos at home with the hounds (obviously). I'm so glad we set up some photos with Hugh. He was by far one of my favorite parts of the wedding, and he wasn't even there! He's laid back, extremely talented, and exactly what we needed to get some amazing photos. He was also really patient, which is important when dealing with bored dogs that have to pose for pictures instead of getting to hike. The outtakes were so much fun to see, too. He had some really gorgeous places in mind to shoot in and around Kawartha Highlands, and got a large number of photos in our two hour shoot. He's by far my second favorite photographer in the area (only because my husband has to be my first).

Almost immediately after letting our friends and family know we were engaged, we booked with Hugh Whitaker Photography. We had always loved seeing his photos on his facebook page and knew we had to have him shoot our wedding. An engagement shoot and a wedding later, Hugh did not disappoint! Hugh made us feel super comfortable when we worked with him and always got the shots we wanted. We worked with Hugh for almost a year and a half and he was extremely fun and professional, making the process very easy going. Hugh was able to capture the events throughout the wedding day so perfectly, the photos are an amazing timeline to look through and will be beautiful memories for us to have forever! We would recommend Hugh Whitaker Photography to anyone!! :D

Hugh (and his 2nd shooter Fiona) were incredible. We liked his pictures online and he seemed pretty cool over Skype. But at the wedding, he was exceptional. He blended in, was easy and comfortable to be around, made it fun and was very personable. We got our photos (in a nicely presented package) and the quality is excellent. HIGHLY recommend Hugh. He's a gem.
