DA Photography

DA Photography by Dragi Andovski is the choice for brides who know what they want.

A positive force, focusing on service and experience for your special day. Best known for capturing a clean, modern look to traditional photos.

My desire to freeze a memory in time and capture a moment of your life that can be treasured forever, be it a wedding, special event or portrait, is something that has been a driving passion of mine for over 20 years. However, with so many options and cost-effective services available, it can be hard to justify deviating from your local grocery store’s special photographic package and looking at an established professional photographer. I liken it to buying a car and being okay with the base model or deciding to make a statement and invest in the luxurious extras that an upgraded vehicle provides. Photography is a delicate balance of art, passion, and versatility. All attributes have helped me become one of the biggest names in the photographic industry in Toronto and the GTA.

Dare to stand out from the crowd, and if you can trust me with the people most precious in your life and the ability to capture their personality in print form, I can promise you that the investments of memories will be one of the best investments you ever make.

My passion and biggest asset are taking the time to make every client comfortable and relaxed before I even pick up the camera. The result? Photos of you that look like you at your best! I can prove to you how much you can enjoy having your picture taken. Lifestyle photography is about the experience that happens to be served up alongside some great photos.

Specialties:
Family Photography for families that like to move around and enjoy their photo time, Wedding Photography for couples looking for a mixture of photojournalistic, contemporary and traditional images and Professional Corporate headshots that are far from cheesy and stiff.

Emma Spring Photo

I have worked incredibly hard for years to master the art of photography.

I find that many photographers have a similar style, which is why I’ve studied the composition of photography and not being afraid to include shadows and dimension in my photos. My main focus is capturing raw emotions so that each photo will make the viewer feel something.  I also want my viewers to feel like they are looking at stills from a movie when viewing my photos, and I’ve been told by many people that they feel this way!  By incorporating different lighting, angles, and compositions, I ensure that each wedding album is a visual masterpiece. When I’m photographing people’s weddings, I’m not just snapping photos behind the camera, but I’m also feeling all of the same emotions that the wedding guests are feeling. I fully immerse myself in their day. I have honestly cried behind the camera many times before during weddings. I firmly believe that a feature on your blog would not only showcase my work but also inspire engaged couples seeking a wedding photographer who can transform their special day into an everlasting memory. I am excited about the opportunity to connect with your readers and share my passion for capturing love stories.

Gillian Foster Photography

Hi! I’m Gillian, a Toronto wedding and lifestyle photographer. I have a BA in Studio Art, with a background in fine art and film photography. I take a documentary approach to capture bright, artistic and candid photos.

After developing my first photograph, I discovered my love for photography in the darkroom at the University of Guelph. My first three years as a photographer were entirely film-based. I loved the hands-on aspect of processing and printing my own images. Every correction and adjustment made was done entirely in the darkroom. Film photography also introduced me to the importance of colour and light – my primary sources of inspiration.

Since completing my BA Studio Art, I’ve continued to shoot digitally, focusing on wedding and lifestyle photography. My work has been featured on the Huffington Post, Love Inc Magazine and exhibited as part of Contact Photography Festival, Queen West art crawl and Culture days.
With ten years of experience capturing weddings and families,  I love to tell stories filled with emotion, silly quirks and full of personality. I put my heart, energy and creative drive into my work. I believe photo sessions are best spent doing something you love in meaningful places or discovering new ones. As a photographer, I want to capture photographs filled with love, honesty and lasting memories.

Honey Photography

Sarah is a GTA wedding photographer who specializes in wilderness weddings, backyard weddings, farm weddings, and elopements for adventurous couples all over Ontario.

Her goal is to capture your unique wedding story in an authentic, raw way. With a laid-back and bubbly personality, Sarah doesn’t mind going into a field or deep into a forest to get her dream wedding shots. Her editing style is bright and warm, emphasizing natural skin tones and true-to-life colours to ensure your photos are timeless memories. When you choose Sarah as your wedding photographer, laughter, tears, and raw emotions are encouraged. Your wedding guests will feel at ease with Sarah’s gentle direction and professional posing, and they might even crack a smile or have a few extra laughs. Brides have commented that Sarah feels more like a family friend by the end of their wedding day.

Sarah will get to know you on a personal level so she can understand your wedding vision. She assists with developing a timeline and shot list ahead of your wedding date. On your special day, Sarah poses as needed, but encourages natural movement and genuine emotion in most of your photos. You’ll also feel Sarah’s ability to go above and beyond on your wedding day – she’ll assist your bridesmaids and even carry your bouquet! With fast delivery times, she returns to wedding galleries within two weeks of your wedding date. Sarah takes each wedding very seriously, understanding how important (and expensive) this day is for you and your family. Whether you’re having a wedding in your backyard or by the lake, Sarah truly looks forward to capturing your authentic love story.

Why I would love to be chosen:
For several years, I have been photographing weddings and found my own style – authentic, warm, and filled with emotion. I’m not the typical wedding photographer that shoots banquet hall and hotel weddings (but I will!). The weddings I primarily shoot are very unique, including backyard weddings, field elopements on private property, and farm weddings. This uniqueness makes me an ideal candidate to be featured in your blog. I put a lot of care into every single wedding I shoot, and I connect with each of my couples on a personal level to understand their wedding dreams. My personality is very laid-back, so I get along very easily with clients and wedding guests. Wedding photography is much more than a job, it’s a passion. In addition to being very personable, I also have a lot of technical experience in my craft. I can quickly adjust to different lighting situations, professionally pose couples in natural and artificially lit settings, and enjoy getting creative with nighttime shots. I’ve taken several digital photography college courses and online courses, and I’m constantly learning, so each wedding is better than the last.

What sets me apart is the care I put into the entire process. I guide couples to feel comfortable in front of the camera, manage timelines with ease, and focus on the details so that they can stay fully present in the moment. Many of my clients return for anniversaries, family sessions, and referrals, because our connection goes beyond just one day.

Little Blue Lemon Photography

Welcome to Little Blue Lemon, a Toronto wedding photography and video studio.

We are absolutely in love with everything at weddings: the emotion, the laughter, the tears and the joy. Let’s be honest, who doesn’t want to be around a loving and happy bunch of people celebrating and enjoying one another. So when we shoot, we strive to blend in – to become “photo ninjas”. It sounds funny, but we do want to be forgotten. The less we are noticed, the more we can capture those authentic and real candid moments. So how do we do this, you ask? We tell jokes, we laugh, and we make our couples and families feel relaxed. Being photographed all day is not the norm for most people, so the more relaxed you feel, the more comfortable you feel, and the more you forget that we are holding cameras! 

​Don’t get us wrong; we all at Little Blue Lemon Photo & Cinema are comfortable stepping in when needed and have no problem directing if asked. Some couples want posing directions, and others want us to capture the essence of their day. We create based on what our couples wish and aim to capture your wedding day in the way you feel is best. After all, your wedding is about you, and we are there to capture it all. Little Blue Lemon is home to some of the best wedding photographers in Toronto. Most of us are local photographers, but we service all of Toronto, the GTA, Ontario, Kelowna, BC and Canada! So don’t be shy; get in touch – we’d love to chat!

Lucas T Photography

Photography is something that I knew from growing up in Toronto was my calling.

When I shoot weddings, I like to think that I don’t just photograph a bride or groom – I photograph the feeling and moment in all its trueness. This gives an honest approach to each and every wedding in a real and genuine way. So if you are looking for a photographer who keeps things comfortable, natural, and fun, you have come to the right place. Every ceremony and reception is another chance to capture authenticity.   

Before I ventured out full-time into photography, I worked as a media producer for TELUS, one of the big telcos in Canada. After some much-needed soul searching, I discovered that corporate life wasn’t for me and soon found myself going ahead on this amazing visual journey. Storytelling was where it was at, which I strive to do with my wedding photography.  I have been around the world, shooting everything from monkeys in ancient Asian rainforests to rivers of ice in Iceland.  I like to bring everything I have learned on my travels and experience in commercial photography to my wedding clients so they have an experienced technical director and a friend they can feel comfortable with.

I am dedicated to each and every couple I work with, and I love my job. Therefore, I always go the extra mile to ensure that each couple I work with feels confident and relaxed, knowing I will capture all of the special moments of their day.

Photographed by Beatrice

Photographed by Beatrice is a GTA based event and wedding photographer who specializes in capturing every moment of someone’s special day in a photojournalistic style.

Beatrice is flexible and happy to work with any requirements that a client desires. Whatever their needs may be, she will capture them in a creative manner. Her wedding packages also include a complimentary engagement photoshoot. This way, she gets to work with her clients before the big day, which is very important in making them feel comfortable. Beatrice also meets and communicates with her clients to get a clear idea of what their vision is. Moreover, photographic style is key in capturing the big day in the perfect way. Another key feature of Beatrice’s wedding packages is that she does not limit the number of final edited images she gives to her clients. She doesn’t believe in withholding her art from people who appreciate it and have chosen her for the special moments in their life. Additionally, her turnaround for images is a shorter time than most other photographers. And at the end of the day, it’s not only the quality of the images that matter but also the overall experience she provides to her clients. Ultimately, Beatrice is a creative and passionate artist who not only photographs people’s special days and events but also teaches this craft to others. She chooses to photograph because she loves art, not because her livelihood depends on it. She is happy to work with new individuals and she always feels honoured when someone invites her to capture the highlights of their lives.

Raph Nogal Photography

Raph Nogal is a wedding photographer based in Toronto with over 11 years of experience.

Raph’s work can be best described as a fusion between artistic & dramatic editorial and candid & organic photojournalism. His approach to a wedding day comes from a personal place, and it’s all about the experience and how Brides & Grooms feel in front of the camera; sometimes it’s the moments-between-moments, and sometimes it’s the badass hero shot on top of a hill. Making sure clients look their best is very important, but never sacrificing organic moments to ensure the authenticity remains true. It’s always a delicate balance between those two scenarios that make the wedding day so unique.
Raph always loves playing with light. He takes what is commonly done in commercial photography with lighting and applies it to a wedding day on a smaller scale. Light shapes and creates dimension and expresses moods. No matter if it is in the middle of a bright sunny day or nighttime, Raph’s lighting expertise will ensure your wedding images look epic. 

Raph is an ambassador for several photo industry companies, including Profoto, MagMod, VisionArt, and several others and an educational ambassador for SLR Lounge. You can catch Raph around the city, country and internationally, presenting at photography conferences and trade shows and conducting workshops teaching other photographers.

Velthove

When I started photographing weddings, I knew that I wanted to make sure that my clients
viewed their photography experience as the last thing they had worry about.

All my clients have taken advantage of the most significant booking gift I offer – their engagement
session. During this session, both bride and groom realize that they rock in front of the camera,
and I learn all about their relationship, what makes them laugh, and which poses bring out their best features. One of the main reasons that my clients book me is my FULL DAY WEDDING COVERAGE.

Yes, my husband (who works every single wedding with me) and I arrive an hour after the bridal party members have arrived at their respective getting ready locations and photograph till about an hour after dinner. This takes a big decision off their plates, which means less stress for the whole family and bridal party.

The relationship I have built with my couples is more akin to a friendship than a business relationship. This means that I pour everything I can into getting them a gallery they love, mainly because it reminds them of their fantastic wedding day, and it includes everything they’ve dreamed of.

I hope that any #DVIcouple will confidently be able to enjoy the day they marry each other. And that this will, in turn, fill their photography experience with uplifting moments that confirm the knowledge that the bride is the most beautiful woman in the eyes of her new husband.

Frequently Asked Questions: Finding the Best Wedding Photographers in Toronto and GTA

Here are a couple of questions to ask yourself before you hire a wedding photographer:

How long should I hire a wedding photographer for?

Every wedding photographer offers packages that consist of a certain amount of hours. These packages can range from 6 hours to as long as 12 hours. It is also essential to consider your budget and how big your wedding is.

How long before your wedding should you hire a photographer?

You should hire a wedding photographer 8-12 months before your special day. This is important because you need to know your photographer’s different packages to see which would fit your budget and wedding best. As well as, you want to discuss what kind of style and feel you want your wedding photos to portray.

How do I choose a photographer that’s right for me?

All photographers are unique in their own way and have their style and specialty. Therefore, it is crucial to research and see the photographer’s pieces to make sure that they resonate with what you want. You also make sure that you can easily communicate with your photographer to get the best results.

What is the average cost for a wedding photographer in Toronto?

In Toronto, the typical cost of a wedding photographer for a full-day digital package with one photographer is between $3,000 and $4,500. The factor that can differ from this fee is whether you’re scheduling 8 hours vs. 12 as the photographer is investing more of their time into you and your spouse. Hiring a second photographer can also alter the price as there is less work to be done at the wedding by each photographer. Lastly, whether you are simply getting digital copies of the photos or an album as well can affect the photoshoot prices.

Should you tip your wedding photographer?

Tipping is entirely a matter of personal taste. Tipping is never demanded in wedding photography, but it is always appreciated. If a wedding photographer does not receive a tip, they will never take it personally. It’s primarily a matter of personal taste and whether you’re the sort to provide gratitude with tips!

How do I politely decline a wedding photographer?

You don’t have to go into specifics. You have your reasons, whether it’s a photographer’s style or the cost is not within your budget; all that counts is that you let them know you’ve discovered someone who’s a better fit. It’s important to remember that this is a business transaction, not a personal one. Vendors may express gratitude and request any input that influenced your decision. If you want to give it to them, be honest (and compassionate), since it may benefit them in future relationships.

Is one photographer enough for my wedding?

Having photographs from various images comes in helpful on several occasions! One photographer can focus on the groom’s response throughout the ceremony and at first glance, while the other can picture the bride. During the ceremony, photographers can get an epic broad view from the rear of the church or more personal, emotional shots from the front, and pictures of wedding parties. During the reception, one photographer may be getting entertaining group images and candids while another is filming party dancing.

One photographer will be with the bride before the wedding, while the other will capture the groom prior to the ceremony. It’s a good idea to have a second shooter if the bride and groom are getting ready in two different places.

What is candid wedding photography?

Candid photography is the skill of photographing a subject while they are ignorant, natural, and without posing for the camera. While being clicked, the topic might be static or moving. The candid moments determine the quality of candid photography. And the tale conveys what happened at the time.

Candid photography at weddings places a greater emphasis on presenting a storey via candid photographs. The documentary manner of photography plays an important role as well. Fashion, architecture, portraits, products, and other types of photography are all combined by candid photographers. It offers casual wedding photography and bridal photo shoots a new lease on life.

How many photos should I expect from a wedding photographer?

The brief answer is $100 per hour of shooting or around 800 photographs for an 8-hour wedding day coverage.

This isn’t some kind of industry guideline that all wedding photographers must follow. At the end of the day, different techniques and approaches to shooting will result in a diverse amount of images.
