ANDREAS AVDOULOS
PRIVATE DOCUMENTARY PHOTOGRAPHER
I’m Andreas, a Canadian documentary photographer who believes that your photographs should be as private as the event itself.
I live in Fergus Ontario with my wife and our two daughters, and I work with clients across Ontario from Toronto to Muskoka, Niagara on the Lake and locally in Elora, Fergus and the Kitchener Waterloo region.
My creative life began as a designer, but for over twenty years, I’ve been photographing private weddings and family celebrations near and far.
I find my inspiration for this work from the people that I meet, and the brief interactions and moments shared together during the day.

I receive a lot of enquiries for all types of private events, and I do read them all. I do respond to all messages, but it may take a day or two at the most.
Please take a few moments to fill out the form in full — if you prefer to email me directly, please send that to theandreasphoto@gmail.com
What I do is a fairly personal endevour — that’s the nature of this work, so it’s important that above all else, I’m interested telling your story, and that you want me to be a part of your day.
That’s why establishing a connection early on is so important.
I’m not the right photographer for every couple — and that’s a good thing!
I’m pretty upfront about that and hope you appreciate my position.
I do my best work for couples planning simple, intimate events that are often held in one location, with smaller guest lists, where culture, traditions and relationships are the most important elements of the day.

QUESTIONS THAT I’M OFTEN ASKED
-
Most of the events I photograph are private family events : weddings, anniversaries, engagement or birthday parties .
-
Once the photographs have been edited, they will be uploaded to a private website that you’ll have access to view, share as you wish, order prints, and download the high resolution images from.
-
I do not.
-
Yes — please enquire first. I’ll share some private client galleries that I’ve been given permission to share online.
You’ll receive a password to access some past galleries.
-
Each event varies greatly based on hours of coverage required, travel, and whether or not I’m including prints or albums, so the price changes as well.
When enquiring, please share as much information as possible so that I can provide you with a proposal when we speak.
-
Start be sending your event info by falling out the enquiry form, emailing or calling / texting me to see if your date is still available.
A signed agreement and retainer will secure your date.
