What Makes me Different

Comfort

It’s not always easy to relax in front of a camera, which is why I create a stress-free photography experience that allows me to capture moments of real human connection and candid joy.

Creativity

A day as special as your wedding deserves more than “nice pictures” – you’ll look at these images for the rest of your life. They should WOW you. They should be frame-worthy.

Frequently Asked Questions

I’m very confident in capturing the timeless love, genuine joy and human connection of most weddings without the help of a second photographer. However, I haven’t yet perfected the ability to be in two different places at once, so depending on the unique structure of your wedding timeline, it might work best to have a second photographer join me so that every irreplaceable memory is captured.

The majority of the weddings I photograph are in Southern Ontario, between Toronto and London. However, I’m available to travel across Canada for your event. For weddings outside of an 80km radius from Kitchener, a travel fee will apply, depending on the distance and whether or not overnight accommodations are necessary. We’ll talk more about this during your consultation.

You’ll receive at least 50-60 photos per hour of coverage – that’s basically a photo a minute! However, depending on how action-packed your wedding day is, that number could be even higher. All of the photos you receive will be edited, high-resolution JPG files delivered via a beautiful, personalized, online photo gallery that allows you to easily view, download, share and print all of your favourite memories.

I’m very conscious of how valuable and irreplaceable your wedding memories are to you, your family and friends. As the photos are captured, two copies are saved to two separate memory cards in each of my cameras, then after your wedding, I will make two more copies of your photos on my home office hard drives and SSDs. Within a few hours, another copy will be saved to a off-site cloud backup service. Until your photos are delivered to you, I ensure a copy of your photos are backed up on the original memory cards, at least 2 on-site hard drives and 1 cloud server. Data loss is very rare, but the extra effort of having multiple backups is worth ensuring the safety of your precious memories.

I have more answers! Send me an email and we’ll chat.

Kitchener-Waterloo Wedding Photography

Though I’ve had the pleasure of photographing weddings all over Southern Ontario, Kitchener is where my wedding photography career was born and it’s always been home base. There’s nothing quite like snapping photos through DTK, or any of the amazing wedding venues the Kitchener-Waterloo-Cambridge area has to offer.
