Artistry:

A timeless, beautiful approach to capturing your story. Bright exposures, natural skin tones, crisp & clean contrast, and a final image set that tells the story, without filler - every image is part of the story, every image matters. A timeless style, built on established artistic principles, not on fleeting trends that come and go. Personalized editing & production of every image, not mass-distributed editing templates that look like all the others.

It’s your wedding, let me tell your story.

Simplicity:

You have enough to worry about! Enough decisions to make. Let us make at least this decision easy for you. Every package includes an engagement, the wedding day, and an album. Our packages cover you by the events of your day, NOT by the clock. Why worry about choosing which few hours you’ll have covered? Just let us cover your day from dressing to dinner, or dressing to dancing - we’ll be watching YOU, not the clock. AND, after this many years, we can even help you plan the day. Simple options, simple fee structure, simple payment plans; simple changes along the way. Simple.

Experience:

Experience matters. You can’t risk the capture of your lifelong memories being affected by weather, schedule changes, the size of your wedding party, or anything else. You can’t have a photographer miss cultural and religious details, or any of the personal touches you’ve worked so hard to have perfect for your day. Only a trained and experienced, full time professional photographer can truly be prepared and can produce the images you expect, no matter what. And only a handful of Winnipeg photographers have this level of experience. Your memories matter to you - and they matter to me, too. Trust a trained, experienced professional.

Experience in all styles and sizes of weddings from elopements and back yard family gatherings, to week-long cultural wedding celebrations with over 1000 guests.

15 years dedicated to professional wedding photography; built on recognized professional photographic training and international mentorship; all of it rooted in undergraduate and graduate fine arts degrees, a dedicated photo diploma, and 25 years in the professional fine arts, with international recognition.

"Every single image is beautifully captured. it was a pleasure to work with such a talented guy. Thank you so much for everything!"

Off-season and mid-week weddings - ask about varying promotions for mid-week weddings, and weddings from November through March. (Except for Christmas Eve/Day/Boxing Day or New Years Eve/Day.)
