FEATURED WEDDING
SHAN & NORALENE
11.16.2025, HOTEL OCHO
Shan and Nora’s November wedding at Hotel Ocho was a masterclass in understated elegance. Surrounded by family and their closest community, the day served as a quiet, soulful sanctuary against the city’s autumn chill. Hotel Ocho, located in the heart of downtown Toronto, was perfect for such an intimate wedding day, with layers of warm wood and textured brick providing a rich backdrop for their special day.
Why work with us
Every couple we photograph gets one thing above all else. Our complete, undivided attention.
We will learn your story before we photograph it. We will be present for every moment that matters the ones on the timeline and the ones that aren't. And we will not deliver a gallery until every image in it earns its place.
If you receive your gallery and something doesn't feel right, we do not ask you to explain it or justify it. We fix it. That is not a policy. It is a personal commitment from us to every couple who trusts us with their day.
You will never feel like an afterthought. That is our promise.

Our Philosophy
Our team works from a simple truth: your wedding day will blur. Not because it wasn't important, but because emotions move faster than memory. What you'll carry forward isn't a mental timeline; it's a feeling in your chest when you think back to it. That's what matters.
Our work here is driven by respect for that feeling and an obsessive attention to preserving it. The private glance. The way your mother's face changed. How it felt to be exactly where you were. Fifty years out, you won't need to remember being young; we will help you feel it again.
WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT US
Samantha + Kylle
"The photos exceeded our expectations"
"Our photographer, Ethan, did our surprise engagement shoot and it was everything we could have hoped for and more, and we’re so grateful for the care, talent, and thoughtfulness he put into every detail! He’s incredibly sweet, kind, and so easy to talk to, which made the entire experience feel so natural and enjoyable. Ethan made us feel so comfortable and at ease throughout the whole shoot. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better photographer and would recommend Ethan to anyone in a heartbeat!"
