Captured our special event perfectly

Viara (Quirky Love photography) was remarkable to deal with. We felt comfortable dealing with her she was professional, reliable, completely supportive of our special day. She did an amazing job of being there for all the right shots without being intrusive. We can’t recommend her highly enough! We think she is very special and the photographs that we have now are evidence of it. She was very professional in the way she followed up and helped us with laying out an album. We were also overwhelmed that she helped us to get an amazing video (by her assistant Casey) which is very special and we enjoy sharing with all our friends with love. We have no hesitation to recommend Viara to anyone that need their special moment captured with Quirky love.

A Professional, Timely, and Heartfelt Photographer

I strongly, strongly, strongly recommend hiring Quirky Love Photography to capture your wedding. You get what you pay for: professional, kind service that you can depend on.

Viara has a real gift for photography; she makes you and your family members feel comfortable, she brings a positive, lovely energy to every space she is in, and she manages to capture shots that you didn't know you needed until you see them.

Her documentary style of photography avoids the wedding cliches of orange tinted photos and posed nonsense. She captured our day in its full range of emotions. She has the type of photography that my wife and I know we will cherish more and more and more as time goes on.

We loved working with Viara and we know you will too. Do yourself a kindness and book a consultation with her.

Amazingly Talented Photographer with a Lovely & Friendly Vibe

Viara photographed our 2023 Fall wedding at Fantasy Farm in Toronto and she did an absolutely amazing job. We are so so happy with the photos and all our friends & family love them too.
She was so friendly and approachable from initial contact all the way through to the big day, and made the entire process so easy. Very competitive pricing, we cannot recommend Viara enough.

Incredible!!

Viara photographed my wedding in Sep 2022 and we couldn't have been happier! From the first day we had our meeting with her, to our special day, to going over our photos together, she took her time with us and really made us feel special the entire way. Neither myself nor my spouse are comfortable infront of a camera but working with Viara felt natural and like we could be ourselves. So thank you Viara for your beautiful work, we will cherish these pictures forever!

Absolutely magical experience - with the most beautiful photos as a result!

My fiance found and booked Viara - he managed to find the perfect photographer! She was the perfect actress so the surprise proposal was very much a surprise then proceeded to take the most gorgeous photos - we can't stop looking at them, debating which are our favorites. Neither my fiance nor I are a fan of photoshoots but both of us could not stop raving about how much we enjoyed our experience with Viara! I cannot recommend working with her enough :)

More than just photos

Viara did such an amazing job photographing our wedding. If it was only about her taking pictures the day of, she'd deserve five stars. But it was so much more than that. She helped us understand the process of the wedding production, not just her role as our photographer. She was kind, patient and a general joy to work with. We had multiple delays and issues because of COVID (including me getting stuck out of country while we were designing our album), but she took it all in stride with us and worked with us every step along the way. A true professional who understands the value of good service and quality products. If you're looking for non-traditional wedding pics (ie not everything is a posed, static picture from your grandma's wedding album), then you have to at least give Viara a ring and hear how she operates.

Viara is amazing!

Words cannot describe how amazing our experience with Viara was. She captured every important moment of our wedding, while remaining on the background. We didn’t want a million posed photos and Viara specializes in candid photography. We haven’t received all our pictures back yet, but the ones we did are so beyond beautiful that I started crying at work. Further to this, both my husband and I felt very connected to Viara. She got us and what we wanted right away. We are absolutely over the moon happy with the few photos we have received so far and can’t wait for the rest!

Fun and authentic, will capture the real you

We had an engagement photo session with Viara and couldn´t be happier. She connects with people, is extremely empathetic and also has fun with you!
Not only are her photos amazingly fun and real, but she makes you have a good time while being photographed. None of her work makes you feel like a weird inexperienced model, when you don´t know where and how to look or what to do your hands. She will just capture you as you are.
Trust her.

Viara Mileva is my first choice in event photographers

Viara has photographed several events for my family and friends, including our 25th Wedding Anniversary celebration in 2016. She's captures the big, defining moments of our events, while somehow also capturing the little sideline moments that might otherwise be lost. We've always been extremely pleased with Viara's work and have recommended her to others who were also very happy. Viara's professionalism and skill are exceptional and she creates personal relationships with those she works with. I highly recommend working with Viara!

Amazing Wedding Experience

We got married in February on a Family Day weekend (weekend of my 40th birthday). We absolutely loved working with Quirky! They were so friendly, professional and fun. Their style is amazing. They were incredibly flexible (even open to taking photos of me lying in the snow in my wedding gown when my finance and best friend thought it was a little crazy!). We enjoyed how they faded into the background but somehow managed to get so many wonderful shots unnoticed. The photos exceeded our expectations. In fact, we had such a great experience and results that we recently hired Viara to do family portraits of us with our baby son!

Meet the team

Viara Mileva Mileva
Viara Mileva Mileva
Primary Photographer

Hi, I'm Viara.

I was always artsy, but I pursued a career in science, because that was then and this is now.

After getting a Master's in Neuroscience, and a PhD in Behavioural Genetics (studying parenting), I lived in the Netherlands for two years to do more research. I fell in love with Dutch culture.

When I came back to Kingston with my husband and three kids, we started a hobby farm.

Around this time, when trying to pay the bills by teaching occasional courses at Queen's University, I decided there must be a better way.

I began my career as a professional photographer in October 2015, when photographing the birth of a baby, and I've never looked back.
