    An Unforgettable Experience!

    My fiancé and I were immediately made comfortable in front of the camera, Vaughn coached us through some basic posing which instilled confidence in us both.
    The entire experience was made to feel effortless, as though we were on a date and the only variant was that it was documented.
    The end results will not disappoint! An absolutely stunning, personalized digital gallery is provided for you ASAP. All the information and features are included (i.e. prints for purchase).
    Vaughn is a skilled professional, very personable and easy to work with, I think you will find that you are in excellent hands.
    Memories captured that will last a lifetime.
    Many thanks to Vaughn Barry Photography.

    Wonderful photographer!

    Vaughn was an absolute pleasure to work with. We had him join us for our small ceremony last year and then again for our wedding “version 2.0” this year. He made us feel comfortable and at ease. Getting our photos was one of our favourite moments during our wedding as it gave us some time to enjoy one another’s company and snuggle up to one another while Vaughn took photos and made us smile. The booking and payment process was also very smooth. He also helped to keep us organized with a family photo list and communicated well before, during, and after the event. We had sneak peak photos back within a day both years and the rest of our photos shortly there after! Can’t recommend Vaughn to future couples enough!

    Aww, so wonderful to hear you guys, thank you! And thank you for helping me check the Killbear Tree off my bucket list :)

    The best wedding photos!

    Choosing a photographer was a big deal to us as we wanted photos that we would love to look at for years to come, while also knowing that we had someone who would help to keep our day running smoothly. After our initial interview with Vaughn it was clear to us that he was the choice for us! We had so much fun with him doing our engagement shoot, and absolutely loved the photos, it made us so excited to see what photos we would get on our wedding day!
    Leading up to the wedding he was great at commuting with us and helping to get our timeline right. When our day came no photo opportunities went to plan due to rain, thunderstorms and tornado warnings! Our ceremony plans had to change and so did our photo list we gave him. Vaughn was amazing at still trying to get all the shots we wanted, and managed to get our big group photo as well as family photos during breaks in the rain. He got creative with our wedding party photos and had us take over the bar! We now have some really fun photos with our friends that we wouldn't have thought of! Vaughn did everything to make sure he captured those moments we wanted so much, and ended our time with him doing outside shots in the rain where he captured one of our favourite photos of us walking in the rain.

    Vaughn worked so well with the whole team around us on the day, and his great sense of humour kept us going during photos throughout the day! He had way too much fun joking around with our British groomsmen!

    We couldn't believe how quickly he got our photos back to us, and how amazing they all turned out. We decided to choose the package with the album included and making this online and approving it was so easy. As we live in the UK he was so helpful with making sure our album made it to us safely which we really appreciated! We are still in awe of how beautiful the album is and look forward to using it for years to come! Thank you so much for being part of our wedding day, and for capturing all our special moments throughout the day. We will cherish these forever.

    Aww you guys rock, thank you for taking the time to share your experience! I had 'right propa' fun getting to know you and your UK crew. I've been passing along my newfound British slang to my family and friends :)

    Best Experience!

    We had an amazing experience with Vaughn! Not only did our photos turn out better than we imagined, but he made us feel so comfortable. We’re not photo people so this was huge. Overall the best experience!

    Thanks so much you guys, it was an amazing day at Sherwood and such a pleasure getting to know everyone! Hope you're enjoying your Muskoka honeymoon :)

    Amazing photographer!

    Only fantastic things to say about Vaughn!
    The day of our wedding he was so great with making everything so comfortable and easy. Vaughn and his assistant caught every important moment that we wanted to catch, and even more! We received all of our digital downloads super quick, which is unheard of! Vaughn puts all of himself into his work and it really shows, every photo is a work of art. We are so happy that we found him!

    Vaughn Barry Photography's reply:

    Aww, it has been such a pleasure getting to know you guys and following your story from shooting your surprise proposal through to the big day itself! Thank you!!

    Best-ever Wedding Photographer

    Vaughn was an absolute dream to work with. He has a series of different packages to choose from and is flexible in adding hours or replacing portions of them to better fit your needs. He is a wiz when it comes to figuring out timelines and has outlines and list templates already put together to help you make your shoots go smoother! Always professional, Vaughn maintains an easy-going and relaxed vibe throughout each interaction that makes him extremely approachable and easy to share a laugh with between shots. He knows what he's doing and it is so exciting to watch him do what he does well! Vaughn knows what looks good and will help you get there during the shoot, be it a suggestion on how to stand, where to look...or even throwing in a timely joke to help you relax and offer a genuine smile. Minimal effort for maximum photo quality! He's a legend and was one of the best financial investments we made for our wedding. No regrets.

    Amazing to hear Anneke! Thank you for the kind words, I had a wonderful time with you guys and we had a wee bit of fun along the way :)

    After working with Vaughn, I wouldn't want to choose anyone else.

    Vaughn was patient, flexible, and very adaptable to our changing schedule. He communicated professionally, and offered valuable advice for everything on our wedding day, including a beautiful way to hold our first dance. He even convinced us not to go with the more expensive photography package based on our needs, rather than trying to upsell us. He gave us a sneak peek of our photos the very next day, and had our full list of photos ready within a week.

    While taking our photos, he made us feel very comfortable and avoided the dreaded over-posed shots. He was very quick at assessing changing weather and moving us to the optimal spots at the venue to capture some truly stunning photos.

    Having spoken and worked with a number of other wedding photographers, I cannot recommend Vaughn enough. He is the clear choice for us in every way.

    Dream wedding captured perfectly

    Vaughn couldn't have captured our big day at the family cottage in Muskoka more beautifully. He scouted the site ahead of time, identified key photos he and the bride thought would pan out best and took time to understand the parts of our site/location that were important to us. When the weather threw us a curveball, he embraced the weather, adapted to the circumstances and went above and beyond to ensure all of our desired moments were not only captured but enhanced by mother nature. In hindsight, anyone getting photos done by Vaughn should hope for rain because he used it to our advantage and gave the bride the "Notebook-like wedding" she could never have dreamed of. We will certainly be recommending Vaughn to anyone and everyone moving forward as he helped make a perfect wedding day unforgettable. Thank you Vaughn!

    Vaughn Barry Photography's reply:

    So awesome to hear you guys - thank you for the kind words! The rain wasn't than ideal however you powered through to create wonderful memories for yourselves - not to mention you and your friends/family have an awesome wedding story to share from now on.

    Our gallery is spectacular and you wont be disappointed!

    We cannot say enough great things about Vaughn. From our initial conversation to receiving our photos Vaughn was a pleasure to work with. He is professional, creative and makes you feel very comfortable throughout your day. We booked 3 hours for our small COVID wedding and Vaughn captured everything we could have imagined.

    If you are looking for a mix of in the moment and posed shots Vaughn is your best choice. A common comment I hear from people who have seen our photos is that "every photo is more beautiful then the last!". Our gallery is truly spectacular and you wont be disappointed.

    Vaughn Barry Photography's reply:

    Congratulations again Michelle and Ricardo, it was a beautiful day at Sherwood Inn! Thank you sooo much for the kind words - you rock!

    Incredibly Talented Photographer, creative, best investment we made for our wedding

    Vaughn Barry was the best investment we made on our wedding day! When we got engaged we knew finding a high quality, talented photographer would be a top priority. Our wedding photos would be a very important part of helping me and my husband relive our wedding day memories over and over and pass them along for generations to come. There would be no compromise. With our high expectations in mind I am pleased to say Vaughn Barry exceeded all of them! It was truly a pleasure working with him.

    He did our engagement photos and our wedding photos. When Vaughn sent them to us after the wedding we were blown away!! My husband and I had tears in our eyes being able to relive that day in the most perfect way through Vaughn’s exceptional photography. He did not just take pictures, he captured our story, our personality and took the time to understand why our venue was so special to us and with that he craftily brought the beautiful elements of our venue into each photo. His photos are breathtaking and unique.
    We had never hired or worked with a photographer prior to this and were nervous for the photos and what it would be like to work with a photographer. Vaughn himself was incredible to work with, he helped us build our wedding day timeline, made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera and genuinely made us smile and laugh a lot.

    My husband and I HIGHLY recommend Vaughn Barry for your photography needs. You will NOT be disappointed, in fact I bet he will blow you away with his talent and professionalism. You will not find a better photographer for the most important day of your life!
