I SHOOT PEOPLE AT WEDDINGS

I SHOOT PEOPLE BEING THEMSELVES
I’m Andreas, A TORONTO DOCUMENTARY WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER WHO PHOTOGRAPHS NICE PEOPLE AT NICE WEDDINGS HAVING A GREAT TIME TOGETHER.
by now you’ve probably NOTICED THAT ALMOST EVERYone SAYS THEY TAKE TIMELESS PHOTOS OR CAPTURE moments THAT SHOW “HOW THE DAY FELT” OR SOME OTHER AI GENERATED VERSION OF THOSE STATEMENTS.
IF EVERYONE IS SAYING THE SAME THING — HOW WILL YOU KNOW IF YOU’VE FOUND THE RIGHT PHOTOGRAPHER FOR YOUR WEDDING?
👇
I’M A WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER — BUT I DON’T REALLY MAKE COOKIE-CUTTER WEDDING PHOTOS.
I MAKE CANDID, SOMETIMES weird, USUALLY QUITE INTIMATE, ALWAYS ORIGINAL, up-close and personal photos of YOUR CLOSEST FRIENDS AND FAMILY ENJOYING THEIR TIME WITH YOU.
THAT’S IT.
THAT’S MY THING.
👇
THIS DAY IS YOURS TO DO WHATEVER THE HELL YOU WANT — and it’s MY JOB IS TO SIMPLY OBSERVE AND DOCUMENT EVERYTHING THAT MAKES THIS DAY YOUR OWN.
YOUR WEDDING PHOTOS SHOULDN’T LOOK LIKE ANYONE ELSES RIGHT?
Hey there, I’m Andreas, a Toronto documentary wedding photographer who shoots people being people at weddings and private events.
You already know what I do, now you just need to know if you WANT ME TO BE THE ONE TO PHOTOGRAPH THIS DAY FOR YOU.
Take a look around — if you want more info send me a message today.
I USUALLY RESPOND TO TEXTS THE FASTEST BTW.
“Andreas, I look at these photos every day and I can’t stop crying each time! love these so much!”
Being photographed all day isn’t something we do normally, so I want you to know, I’m not one of those creepy “fly-on-the-wall” photographers, and I’ll never make you do weird cringy poses either.
In fact, my entire approach is pretty personal and informal — I’m there to be a part of your wedding day, not direct it or stage fake moments just so I can make a photo to post on social media.
Guests often think I’m a friend of the family, and you may even see me socializing with with them or even having a drink with a family member — highly unprofessional behaviour if you ask some stuffy wedding planners, but the reality is, the more I immerse myself into the wedding, the more people let their guard down and let me capture more intimate and real moments.
All kidding aside — I care deeply about what I do. I find great interest and inspiration from the people I get to meet and the cultures and traditions I’m privileged to witness and document, so I show up to each wedding focused on creating a body of work that’s completely unique to your wedding experience.
A LITTLE BIT ABOUT MY LIFE IN THREE PHOTOS — I’LL SHARE MORE WHEN WE CHAT.
These are the three women I share my life with, and it’s not lost on me just how lucky I am to be married to such a beautiful woman and have such incredibly talented daughters.
When I’m not out with my camera taking photos of other families, I’m here with my family as dad-cab, dog-walker, and at-home-chef.
ME AT YOUR WEDDING — ONE GUY, A COUPLE OF CAMERAS, AND MY FULL ATTENTION.
I wear many hats when I’m photographing a wedding, and sometimes I get photographed by guests doing things that have nothing to do with photography at all — like adjusting a wobbly boutonniere, or taking a price tag off someone’s blazer!
At more than one wedding, I’ve stepped in to help the families practice the wedding ceremony timing when there wasn’t an on site coordinator or wedding planner.
And…at just one wedding, I somehow found myself taking on the role of a Catholic priest…when the bride pulled me aside to tell me all of her past (and recent) sins. ( I have a lot of stories! )
HERE ARE 27 PHOTOS FROM PAST WEDDINGS
