OFFERINGS & INFO

“What we want is a set of photographs that show us, but more importantly, we want to see our guests enjoying our wedding day as well.”

My Signature Offering - The Wedding Collection.

Your wedding weekend is documented in its entirety — the rehearsal, the welcome dinner, and the full wedding day — personally photographed by Andreas from beginning to end.

The work of documenting your lives as a couple begins before the wedding itself, with a private portrait session that establishes a natural comfort in front of the camera and a working relationship, so that on the wedding weekend the experience is as relaxed and stress-free as possible.

Every moment is approached with the same quiet attention: discreet photojournalism during the ceremony and the unguarded moments between events, detailed editorial work during the portraits and the finer details of the day, and candid work throughout the reception that captures the genuine energy of the celebration you have built.

The finished collection is delivered as a private, password-protected gallery of high-resolution, print-ready images in both colour and monochrome — yours to download, share, and keep permanently.

Accompanying the digital gallery is a physical set of 4×6 prints: a matching real world record of the full collection of images. In addition, a set of twelve handmade black-and-white fine art prints, selected and printed by Andreas himself will be shipped to your home.

The Wedding Collection begins at $15,000

Custom proposals for local intimate events or multi day destination events are available upon request.

Options can include additional coverage days, an additional photographer, and extra deliverables such as prints, albums or photo books.

The wedding day you’re planning will never happen again. There are many moments leading up to this life experience, but it happens but once— seize the day.

As your documentary wedding photographer, Andreas will focus on capturing intimate and unique moments that happen between the two of you, but he’ll also document the personal moments between those closest to you as well.

The wedding day isn’t at all in any way about Andreas. This one day is all about you, and Andreas’s focus is on making sure you enjoy this day to the fullest, which is why his approach is to be as low key as possible.

Andreas has been documenting weddings like yours for over two decades. Couples representing a wide range of cultures and traditions have chosen Andreas to tell their wedding day story, locally and abroad.

Over the years, he’s photographed weddings in Toronto, Niagara on the Lake, private cottages in Muskoka, as well as intimate destination weddings in Italy, Greece, France, New York, the Bahamas, and as far as Japan.

His method of working is the same each time: it’s just him and a few small cameras: no big production or assistants to distract or take away from your enjoyment of the day.

He works quietly and without much direction. He is there from the rehearsal dinner through to the last dance, and he handles every part of the process — the photography, the editing, and the printing are all personally done by Andreas.

This is his art, and a big part of his life.

Professionally, he’s produced work for advertising and fashion brands, and he’s documented weddings for over twenty years. But he’s also a husband, father and human first, and these life experiences influence and inform what he focuses on when photographing the families who commission him to be a part of their lives on this one day.

Because he accepts only ten commissions each year, every couple receives his complete attention — from the first conversation to the moment your prints arrive at your door.

If you want photographs that feel personal, like they were photographed by a close friend, showing not only who was there with you, but what it felt like, this is where that process starts.
