Here is how we can help

We’re passionate about telling your love story

Your partner catching their breath as you walk down the aisle. The happy tears during your vows. Your grandparents dancing like nobody’s watching. These are the moments we live for, and the ones you’ll look back on for the rest of your lives.

Picture yourselves ten years from now, curled up on the couch, flipping through your wedding album. That’s why we capture your day the way it really felt: relaxed, natural and true to colour.

Build your wedding day timeline

This will build your wedding day timeline based on the ceremony start time you provide. This will give you an idea of what a timeline can look like. I still like to talk with my couples in more depth about their timelines because everyone’s wedding is different, but this will give you a rough idea.

frequently asked questions

Groom carrying the smiling bride through a tall grassy field
Do you limit how many photos we get?

No, I don’t. Wedding days you are guaranteed 100+ photos per hour. I will do my initial cull to get rid of photos where people may not be looking or making a funny face. Everything else I give you. I usually deliver around 800-1,200 photos for a 10-hour wedding day.

Should we do the first look?

Absolutely!! First looks are complete game changers for the amount and variety of photos we’ll be able to get you from your day. More particularly, it really helps with getting the more artistic photos you see all over our Instagram and portfolio, mainly because there is usually only an hour or so between the ceremony and reception and people usually try to fit all the family photos, bridal party photos, and photos of just the two of you within that one hour. Usually with all that, there really is not too much time to leave and find some awesome location near the venue to take the more creative photos of just the two of you. The First Look allows us to utilize the time we have before the ceremony to use the best kind of light (daylight), soak it all in together in a more relaxed atmosphere, all while creating awesome ART. First looks are like a Superhero for photographs, no lie. At the end of the day, we can work with anything and will totally respect if you choose not to have one, but it’s important to know and weigh the pros and cons depending on what kinds of photos matter most to you.

When would we receive the photos?

For a 10-hour wedding with a quoted delivery of about 800-1200 photos, we send you a Sneak Peek of about 50-70 photos within 72 hours after the wedding, to give you a pretty epic overview of the best moments of your day. After that, total delivery will be within 30 days from the wedding date (although we seek to work as fast as possible and generally deliver quicker than that).

Do your packages include a second photographer?

Yes, you can add a second photographer to a full day photography collection, so each of us can document you two separately getting ready. Additionally, two photographers ensure key moments are captured (e.g. the groom’s reaction to the bride walking down the aisle), as well as additional angles and vantage points of that key moment (e.g. the guests’ reaction to the bride walking down the aisle). This exponentially enhances the amount and quality of candid moments we’ll be able to capture during your big day. It should be noted, there are definitely times where a second shooter is not necessary, which is what Max will assess during your phone call.

How do we book our wedding date?

Reach out through our contact form and we'll set up a consult call or in-person meeting. Once you're ready, we send over the contract and retainer invoice to lock in your date.
