Vaughn was our wedding photographer and he was an absolute pleasure to work with. He was a calm, cool personality to hang out with during our wedding day, he paid attention to what was important to us, and had a good sense of humor along the way. We received sneak peak photos quickly and received our entire gallery much quicker than what I expected. He was professional and communication throughout was seamless. He also helped us develop a timeline and stuck to it closely all day. We particularly loved his black and white photos and some of the fun artistic ones he did.

Our experience with Vaughn was excellent! From when we hired him to our wedding day, he was very organized and had excellent communication throughout. Both my husband and I felt very comfortable around him. We love our photos and have had so many compliments on how wonderful a job our photographer did. Vaughn really captured the fall colours and vibe that I was going for. We also got our photos back very quickly and did not have to wait the months that you usually hear of to get your wedding photos. Overall, we had an amazing experience and would highly recommend!

We cannot express how amazing our experience with Vaughn was. We were fortunate to work with Vaughn for our engagement and wedding photography, and he delivered exceptional work in questionable conditions!!

Our engagement session was enjoyed by thousands of bugs in a forested area during an exceptionally hot day - Vaughn was a trooper and kept us sane, and through the chaos produced stunning and creative photos.

Our wedding day weather was also great one minute, pouring rain the next, then sunshine, then cold winds - again, Vaughn came through with exceptional photos and seizing whatever backdrop mother nature threw at us in addition to keeping everyone on pace and in good spirits.

Vaughn is very responsive to all questions and is genuinely engaged your journey. My (now) husband is not a fan of being photographed, but Vaughn instantly put him at ease and made the sessions enjoyable. Vaughn also provided a lot of guidance in helping us determine timelines, group photos, and what he needed from us well in advance.

Our engagement photos and wedding photos are stunning, powerful and exceeded our expectations. If you are able to secure Vaughn for your photography needs, do not hesitate! Highly recommend Vaughn Barry Photography, and hope to secure his services in the future!

I cannot express how amazing a photographer Vaughn is. We hired him for our wedding and he was PHENOMENAL. From the meet & greet, to the engagement photos, to the big day - he was incredible, so friendly and charismatic.
His attention to detail is second to none. From asking family members to take things out of their pockets, to ensuring all the guys had the same jacket button done up, to laying on the ground to get a better angle, it was BEYOND anything we could have imagined, even all of our friends and family were incredibly impressed.
Not to mention we got SO many sneak peaks the day after the wedding, and then got all of our photos back in less than 2 weeks! Just amazing.
Not that I will ever get married again, but if I did, I would hire him in a heartbeat! Look no further if you are looking for a wedding photographer.

Vaughn's photography is nothing short of fine art. We chose him for our wedding (Sept 2023) because we were blown away by his gallery, and we were so happy we did. We wanted something we could print and hang on the wall, and he delivered 1000x over.

I'd strongly recommend doing the engagement shoot as part of the wedding package! As soon as you meet Vaughn for an engagement shoot, you'll be so excited to have him be part of your big day.

As a generally awkward human who doesn't do well in front of the camera, Vaughn's energy and guidance allowed myself and everyone else to interact with each other and the camera in a way that was comfortable for all. This created beautiful photos which don't appear too posed.

He has a talented eye for beautiful scenery and fine details that make each photo into art. He thrived on being in a new venue/location and finding the best places to get the images we love.

At a few points during the day, we looked over and Vaughn was literally on the ground to get the best shot. His dedication was incredible!

He frequently gave us recommendations/pointers from his experience to ensure we had adequate time to get the photos we wanted and make our day run smoothly.

The number of positive comments we received from wedding party members, venue team and guests about Vaughn's presence at the wedding were too numerous to count. He was an integral part of our wedding memories; not just in the art he created when capturing our day, but also his presence/personality. We actually had so much fun working with Vaughn for our engagement shoot and wedding day. He shared in our excitement (sincerely), and actually participated in the day rather than just taking photos. It was easy to tell he genuinely enjoys his art and this energy is infectious to those in front of the camera, too.

Additionally, we had our rescue dog (Hal) participate in both the engagement shoot and wedding day. Vaughn was incredibly skilled with a challenging subject (husky with a short attention span), and capture beautiful images with such an important member of our family we will cherish forever.

Do yourself a favour and please book Vaughn for your wedding and other important life events! We plan to have him capture big moments in our future.

We can't thank you enough, Vaughn!

Vaughn has been wonderful to work with and I highly recommend him! He is dedicated and professional. His website is organized and easy to navigate. He responded to our emails quickly and answered all of our questions professionally with many helpful tips. You can tell how much pride he takes in his work.

Vaughn recommended a beautiful location for our winter engagement session. Vaughn also did our wedding at Trillium resort and Spa. Leading up to the wedding Vaughn provided guidance by making adjustments to our timeline which helped our day go smoothly. He made us feel comfortable which was very important to us as we have never done any type of professional photos. We loved his style of photography as he captured many candid and genuine moments. He took his time throughout the day to ensure we got a huge variety of photos.

As a bonus, our guested loved him! We got many comments about how professional and easy-going Vaughn was to interact with throughout the wedding. Vaughn knew exactly where to go for family photos based on the lighting and time of our outdoor cocktail hour. He came prepared with our family photo list and ran through them efficiently.

All the photos look amazing! He sent us a “sneak peak” the morning after our wedding and our full catalogue in 1 week! We were grateful to have him as part of our wedding!

Vaughn was awesome to work with. Just a genuinely nice person which is obviously an asset to have on your big day. Really good mix of creative/artsy photos, and candid photos. We got all our photos back way quicker than expected and they are all so beautiful. We get complements on the photos all the time.

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.

Vaughn was incredible! From the engagement shoot to getting ready for the wedding day and helping plan our timeline Vaughn was so patient with our questions and helpful with suggestions. For the wedding day, he was great at making sure the day ran seamlessly and captured all our special moments from our photos together, with the wedding party, with family, of guests, and of dancing. We absolutely LOVED our photos and had so many comments from our wedding party and guests saying how great our photographer was. Vaughn captured our perfect day better than I could have ever imagined!

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!
