Fine art wedding photographer, capturing on both film and digital.
I'm here to tell the story of your wedding day and make you feel it all over again through photographs. My presence on your wedding day is both fly-on-the-wall/photojournalistic when it should be, and then directive and full of friendly energy when guidance from your photographer is needed.
I'm here to capture your day as authentically and beautifully as possible.
When capturing your wedding, I will focus on:
- Getting ready moments -- from quiet and emotional to fun and laughs
- Your dream couple photos -- artistic, romantic, emotive
- Your family photos -- capturing everyone most important to you
- Candid shots -- all the moments between family and friends
- Detail shots -- to set the scene
- All that is significant and everything in between -- vows, rings, entrances, reactions, speeches, games, slow dances, and party time
I'll be carefully capturing all the family hugs of those who haven't seen each other in a while, getting candids of all the people you've chosen to be there, and dancing with you on the dance floor for the fun shots at the end of the night. I started and developed my wedding photography business in Toronto, and now this Newfie is back on the East Coast to hear Paddy Murphy on the dance floor a bit more.
I'm always truly honoured to attend and photograph your weddings, and I promise I won't take that for granted.
