second photographer
I mostly photograph weddings solo as I am confident in my ability to capture the story of the day on my own.
But I do understand that some weddings require a second pair of eyes!
Some of these instances could be when:
photo coverage must to be taken at different locations at the same time (however this can definitely be worked around by evaluating the itinerary.)
guest count is in the 200-person range
I have a network of trusted photographer friends who I count on to join me. As you iron out the details, we can figure out together, whether a second photographer is right for you. And no rush! This option can be added later down the road. But please give me at least 1 month before your wedding date to confirm someone!
Celebration coverage by a second Photographer Coverage starts at 800.00 (plus GST).
This includes up to 5 hours of coverage.
Celebration coverage by a second photographer after 5 hours, is 100.00 per hour.
we are in this together
Your journey with me also includes an initial pre-wedding consultation, as well as timeline assistance and support leading up to the wedding day. It is very important to me, to be able to communicate with you and have the opportunity to provide any guidance that you may need with wedding day logistics.
If you are working with a planner, I take the time to connect with them to help create the best experience for all of us! I’ve been photographing weddings for over 11 years now and take pride in my experience and access to resources! Anything wedding related, please ask away. I am an open book and I am always here to help!

videographers
Thinking about adding video coverage to your wedding?
Here are a few of my favourite videographer teams that I love working with! My style really focuses on impactful documentary moments of a celebration and I have found that these two companies in particular compliment my approach the best.
