Antonella Cumbo

I have been practicing my craft for 14+ years, I strive to give each individual a unique personalized experience. And always keeping up to date on trends and fashion.

I started my career as a co-op student right out of high school. At the time I didn’t know I wanted to do hair for a living, until one day I sat in on an “updo” class and absolutely fell in love with the art of styling. It was then when I realized that I wanted to make woman feel and look beautiful. Over the years of hairstyling, woman have been afraid to get updos for the fear of not liking it, or ending up with the dreaded “prom hair”. I made it my mission to make sure I offer a unique style of consultation that includes vision crafting, and face shape analysis to determine the best look for their face and body type. This always works. And most often they end up wearing it for a few days!

Alexis Ibero

5 years of experience in the world of hair has launched me into a romance with styling, educating, & expressing myself through the art of what I love most.

Connecting with amazing young women,and who they love most on their special day, offering on-location, licensed, professional hairstyling for the GTA, Prince Edward County and beyond! Texture, & undone, romantic effortless styles fuel my creativity, and make me look forward to every beautiful babe I get to work with. You can also find me behind the chair, as a part-time stylist & employee at Nahids Salon & spa down town Toronto. I am a wife, coffee & pasta addict, hobby seamstress, and lover of all things girly and creative.

I truly feel so lucky to be living the reality of working my dream job. I 100% feel, down to my bones that I am doing exactly what I was meant to be doing. And I couldn’t see it any other way. I am so excited you are here, & already hoping our paths cross!

AnnimationsMkUp

We are determined to serve our Brides above and beyond a hair styling vendor, to truly exceed all expectations and elevate their Bridal Hair experience. A relaxed and professionally executed wedding morning leads to a beautifully styled Bride, and Bride who feels beautiful fully enjoys her special day with confidence and less stress.

I’m Annika, and I am the owner and lead stylist at AnnimationsMkUp. I received my Cosmetic Techniques and Management Diploma with Honors at Seneca College in 2010 which included a course on Formal Hair Styling, and have trained with Schwarzkopf trained stylists over the years, attending many workshops and classes to hone and develop my techniques. AnnimationsMkUp stylists pride themselves on being able to work with a client’s hair, encouraging it to behave and style with shine and volume that surprises and excites each of our Brides. Creating the appearance of length and volume especially in romantic updos have become a key style we are known for.
We believe each Bride is adorned with an invisible “Mrs.” crown on the day of her wedding, and we are constantly refining our skills and training to ensure that crown sits on the most beautiful head of hair that is designed with the Bride in mind. Our extensive questionnaire and consultation process dives deep into the Bride’s theme, style, her hair’s condition, her vision, and allows us to create a look to not only perfectly tie all of those elements together, but to help each Bride improve her hair care routine and offer services and products to do so, making her vision of her day a reality.

Beyond the trial and day of styling, we offer booking for Ayurvedic hot oil scalp massage to improve scalp health and hair growth, as well as having stylists on our team who are fully licensed to cut, colour, and treat hair with products such as Olaplex. We also work with highly-regarded and fully licensed extensionists and high-quality extension suppliers to offer our Brides every possible avenue to achieve the look they are going for.
Additionally, we work with various bridal accessory retailers to assist our Brides with final touches for their look if they so need it.

Hair by Ash J

Hi there, I’m Ash! I have been a stylist for just over 4 years now.

I specialize in blonding and bridal. Doing hair is my passion. It’s something I crave doing when I’m away from the chair for a long period of time. I feel it is important to continue my education, to keep up with the latest trends, and to use my knowledge to create exactly what my clients are envisioning. I strive to create a true connection with each client, and making them happy is what is most important to me. My goal is to make you feel pampered, relaxed, and like you can be your true self while in my chair. My favourite part about my career is seeing my clients grow. From graduating school, to landing that new job, to having children, or tying the knot with your best friend. It truly is a privilege when my clients ask me to be a part of their big day. Making someone feel beautiful on one of the most important days of their lives is a feeling you almost can’t describe. Hair is such an important part in someone’s life, and being able to make people feel like the best version of themselves is a blessing. Being a stylist is something I wouldn’t change for the world.

Hair by Jennesa

Hello! I am Jennesa. Styling hair has been a passion of mine for as long as I can remember.

I am the youngest sibling in a large family so I participated in multiple weddings from a young age and getting my hair styled was my favourite part. I always appreciated the stylists who were perceptive and creative and as a result those are the attitudes I bring with me to each session. In elementary school I would get up early just to curl or style my hair before heading to school. I understand the confidence and happiness that comes from a good hair day.

Before pursuing my career as a bridal hairstylist, I attended university and I received my Bachelor of Science Nursing Degree. I completed my program as a nurse and immediately began working towards my passion- bridal hair! My nursing education taught me so much- including the importance of good communication and careful organization, which are skills that I bring with me behind the chair to every style I create. My passion for bridal hair has only grown since I began. I am constantly expanding my knowledge of different hairstyles and techniques through advanced education from professionals across the globe.

My goal is to work closely with each bride to ensure a special experience from the time you inquire through to your big day!

Sam’s Hairband

My name is Samantha Wilson. I am a freelance hairstylist. I have been doing hair since I graduated from Marca College, ten years ago now.

Hair is my passion. I live and breathe to create with hair. I love the feeling of being able to make someone else feel pretty or beautiful or just to feel good about themselves. I have been blessed with opportunities to work on dozens of published photoshoots and with some of Toronto’s most established and talented photographers. I have also had the blessing and opportunity to work on an Independent Film and on a couple TV Shows. I was most recently the Key Hairstylist for Top Chef Canada. I love all aspects of hair. There is just something so special about having a person choose you to do their hair for their wedding day. One of the most important days in a persons life. To be invited to be apart of something so special truly is such an amazing feeling.

Although, I do hair in many different capacities, doing Bridal Hair will always be one of my favourite things to do. It’s so special to be able to do hair for someone on their wedding and have your work be in their photos for the rest of the lives. Then to receive such wonderful and kind words of thanks in thank you cards and reviews from Brides, it’s very touching. And even more so, to build not only client relationships with these people but lifelong friendships also. It’s a wonderful career and creative life to be apart of. I am grateful for all of my clients and for all of the amazing opportunities that I have been blessed with. Every time a bride decides that I am worthy to be apart of their special day, I am on a mission to do everything I can to make them the happiest possible with me and my work. Even though this pandemic has caused some set backs for 2020 Brides, 2021 holds a lot of potential and I hope to help a lot of brides and be privileged enough to be apart of many weddings in the coming years.

Styled by Nadia

With over 18 years of experience in the hair industry, my passion and love for hair began as soon as I entered a hair salon.

I’ve always loved painting and for me it was a world that reminded me of that similarity of art and creativity that captures the beauty and glory of what the hair industry represents. Over the years with education and experience I have grown even fonder of this industry as I’ve learned to keep up to date with the latest trends and styles to make my clients feel their absolute best as that being my absolute goal. My work has been displayed in bridal magazines, recognized in the beauty industry and acknowledged by celebrity hairstylists but personally for me my proudest accomplishment and joy comes in that very moment when a client sits on my chair and walks out not only looking absolutely beautiful externally but feels it even more internally. To have my clients share their life, journey and hardships with me is an honor and privilege as it motivates me to keep striving not only to expand and flourish in this industry but to make a difference in someone’s life. The hard work, the sacrifice and long hours make it all worth it even after so many years.

FAQ – Hairstylists

How do I communicate what I want to my hairstylist?

The best way to communicate what exact hairstyle you want is by showing photos. Make sure to do your research and find some inspiration on Instagram or Pinterest. Having a clear idea of what you want will make it a lot easier for the hairstylist to find the hairstyle you want and will make the entire process much smoother.

What should I research to prepare for my appointment?

When finding the perfect hairstyle for you, you need to first find some inspiration. This means going on Instagram or Pinterest and finding what other people have done for their wedding and find a hairstyle you can picture yourself in. It is important to find a couple pictures as sometimes the look doesn’t always turn out as you planned. Another thing to keep in mind is the style and neckline of your dress. Do you research about the different styles of necklines and what hairstyles look best paired up with the dress.

Best for Bride‘s bridal shop is the perfect shop for a vast range of wedding dresses and accessories, all of them with prices that will surprise the brides-to-be!

Amber Malik Makeup

Bringing a bride’s vision of how she wants to be seen on her most special day, to life.

With over 20 years of experience in Bridal Makeup Artistry, I have had the opportunity to work with various brides, from different cultures, all with their own unique vision of how they want to look for their big day. This job has taken me to different countries, and allowed me to become such a crucial part of someone’s special day. I work together with my brides to come up with the perfect vision of their Makeup look based on their features, outfits, jewelry, and if they have a theme for their wedding. I specialize in South Asian Bridal Makeup, so we get to create different looks for all the events that take place, which is always so amazing. I have the opportunity to create flawless looks that are both traditional and timeless for a ceremony, to trendy and bold for a reception – giving my brides the best of both worlds. I am obsessed with my brides not only looking amazing, but feeling amazing when they see themselves in the mirror for the first time as a bride. Because of this, I ensure I’m available to them until they are ready to leave for their ceremony. When a bride books her Bridal Makeup with me, they have the comfort in knowing I will be there, by their side the entire time.

Aside from Bridal Makeup, I enjoy creating bold makeup looks on myself to share on my social media. This helps me to not only practice different techniques, but it allows me to keep up-to-date on the latest makeup trends. Makeup has been a passion for me for as long as I can remember, and creating various looks on myself has really helped showcase my talents, continue to learn, and step out of my comfort zone. Combined with my experience and passion, my makeup brushes welcome every bride to come sit in my chair.

Jessica Wolfert Makeup

I am a certified professional makeup artist providing luxury services to the GTA & surrounding areas as well as abroad!

My passion for makeup was discovered at a young age and began my career in makeup 5+ years ago. As an artist, I truly believe we are never finished learning which is why I have obtained certifications & attended celebrity masterclasses including Canadian Beauty College, Makeup by Mario, & Faces by Rob and am always researching the latest trends & hottest products. I will ensure that my client walks away feeling their best by enhancing their natural beauty with any look of their choice.

I have worked with many celebrities/influencers, collaborated with top beauty brands, worked hundreds of weddings and have been featured in magazines & blogs such as Wedluxe, Elegant Wedding, Brides Today, Eventsource, and more. I pride myself on striving for perfection with every application. I feel that in order to achieve this, open communication with the client is a must to ensure that they can fully express themselves by explaining what look they want and making any changes necessary to achieve that look while still feeling like themselves.
I look forward to meeting each & every one of my clients and I’m excited to create the look they envisioned for their big day!

FAQ – Makeup Artist

What is a bridal makeup trial?

A bridal makeup trial is where we meet for the first time, chat and go over styles/looks you’ve chosen putting them to the test. You should do your research before coming to a bridal makeup trial by finding several photos of looks you want to try. At the bridal makeup trial, your makeup artist will test out the looks to see whether you like it or not. This meeting can take up to a couple hours since it is the time to really get to know your makeup artist. As well as for the makeup artist to get to know you. Your wedding day is a very important day and you want to look as beautiful as possible, so the makeup artist needs to get to know what you like and what you feel confident in.

How long before the wedding should I book a bridal makeup trial?

You should book the bridal makeup trial around 4-8 weeks before your wedding. Before you book your bridal makeup trial, make sure to have the details of your wedding planned and finalized. This means that you know what your wedding dress looks like, you know the theme of your wedding and the colours of the flowers. This is important because different looks math different colours in your theme. As well as, your bridal gown make a difference as certain makeup looks match better with certain necklines.

Do makeup artists travel to the client for their wedding day?

Most makeup artists offer mobile services meaning they do travel to the client for their wedding day. Check with your makeup artist to see how far they are willing to travel on that day. Some makeup artists even offer mobile services for destination weddings or wedding outside of their city. Although, almost every makeup artist will demand travel fees as is it expensive to travel. Make sure to do your research on different makeup artists to see who is closest or has travel fees that is within your budget. All in all, find a makeup artist that makes you feel beautiful and stress-free.

I am proud to have the ability to preserve your wedding exactly how it was, because that way, when you look at your photos you will feel the emotions so vividly, it’s like you are back in that moment again.

Through my 9 years of documenting weddings I have realized I am not the perfect photographer for everyone; however, I am the perfect photographer for some, and those are the couples I am meant to capture. I love when people feel comfortable to be themselves with me, and I love when they allow their weird sides to show. I am all about photographing weddings as unique as the couple who are getting married.I am artistic & raw, and I am ready for you to see your wedding through my eyes.

Danielle Meredith Photography

Hi! I’m Dani. I live in a small town north of Toronto but I spend a lot of time shooting in Toronto and around the world.

When it comes to weddings I am all about the moments and the super fun stuff. We don’t have to spend an hour getting perfectly posed shots – I want to get to the nitty gritty of your day where all the action and love are. Your day is filled with your people who love you. I want to catch those tears, laughter and crazy dance moves with all the people who matter most to you. In fact, I will likely be dancing with you and your guests because when I hear that beat I cannot stop. What I am trying to say is I honestly hope your day isn’t perfect because we’d all get bored. I hope your day is full of moments that you will remember forever and when you look back on the photos I hope your heart is as full then as on the day of your wedding. So let’s get perfectly messy and wild. Let’s laugh, smile, and dance all day.

Dianne Velthove Imagery

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 biggest 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 huge decision off their plates, and that just means less stress for
the whole family and bridal party.

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

My hope is 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.

We never stop shooting to ensure we capture all the candid moments and raw emotions, and we always strive to deliver you the WOW factor in every moment we capture. We love to play with lights and shadows, reflections, and different angles. We deliver you all the moments you expect, plus many more that you don’t. Diego and I love challenges and a bit of competition, so the morning after each wedding, the first thing Diego and I do is sift through the thousands of images we’ve captured to see who got the winning shot.

Many people ask us how we ended up shooting weddings, and the answer is simple, we really love weddings! So much work goes into planning the perfect wedding day, so many hours are spent making sure everything comes together, so much heart and soul. We know exactly how difficult it can be to plan a wedding, so we want to make your experience with us is as memorable, fun, and stress-free as possible.

We like to think that we are more than just photographers. We are your coaches and lighting experts. We are your best man and maid of honour. We are someone you can relate to and your peace of mind. We are invisible when needed, and visible when you need us. We are there to have fun with you, celebrate with you, and bring out the best in you. We are there to make sure your wedding day is the most memorable day of your life, so when you look back at your wedding photos, 5, 10, 20 years from now, you are not only seeing how you looked on your wedding day, but you are reliving every single moment of your wedding day as if it were just yesterday.

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 introduced me to the importance of colour and light – my main 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 10 years experience capturing weddings and families, I love to tell stories that are 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.

He believes that there are so many wonderful gestures, looks and smiles that make us who we are. He’s forever aiming to capture this in his images in a thoughtful, creative way. He loves showing the smaller, less significant parts of weddings; proud parents watching their kids, grandparents lovingly hugging their grandchildren. His work is cinematic and monochromatic, using carefully considered compositions and lighting to tell his stories. His distinct style of imagery has developed from a 25 year background in photography and a fascination with art and human connection.

Katia Taylor Photography

My style of wedding photography is a blend of fine art and photojournalism. This allows me to capture genuine and organic moments without being obtrusive. This is how I work to make each image more than just a document, but a piece of art.

I pay close attention to elements of light, colour, composition, and emotion so that I can tell the story of the wedding day creatively and uniquely. While allowing moments to flow naturally, some images are lightly posed to create beautiful portraits. I take cues from my couples as to how much direction they need and how to maximize their comfort level to get photos they’ll love. Above all, I want to make the whole experience fun and memorable. A wedding day is about celebrating your love. The photographs we create on a wedding day can forever bring people back to that moment, that day, and will be shared for generations to come.

To me, photographing weddings is such a privilege. From a young age, I had a knack for photography and was lucky enough to be able to pursue it as a career. I feel so honoured to have a creatively rewarding job that I am passionate about. Every story is so unique. I love to hear about how each couple met and the journey that took them from their first glance to saying ‘I Do’! I get the opportunity to capture the raw emotions, from anticipation and excitement to passion and pure joy. This is what inspires me to create the best images possible.

I earned my Bachelor of Fine Arts in Photography Studies from Ryerson University in 2001 and began my professional photography company in 2003. With 17 years of experience, I have photographed hundreds of weddings with a focus in the GTA, but have also shot in Montreal, Ottawa, Kingston, New York, Jamaica, and the United Kingdom.My work has been published in magazines and blogs including Junebug Weddings, Martha Stewart Weddings, The Wedding Co., Bride and Tonic, Wedding Bells, and Champagne Sweets.

Liat Aharoni Photography

Love isn’t one note: there’s so much more depth besides happiness and margaritas on the beach.

It’s just as much about the compromises and the in-betweens. Just like love itself, weddings have SO MUCH going on and that’s what I find so compelling about photographing them. There are a wide range of stories and emotions happening all at once.

Six years into photographing weddings and my documentary approach remains the same: I’m at your wedding striving to document it ALLLLL: your drunk aunt Martha dancing like Elaine from Seinfeld, the tears streaming down your grandfather’s face, your friends smoking joints out back, all of the hand squeezes and you and your lover swept with emotion throughout the entire day.

I’ve been shooting weddings around the world of lovers from all walks of life, which has led me to believe that there’s no such thing as one right way of getting married. I’m here to document your day no matter how you celebrate – whether that’s an intimate outdoor wedding, a swanky night in the city or a barefoot Burning-man inspired elopement. I believe in capturing human behaviour, emotions and dynamics more than anything, because preserving moments that are comprised of people you love are what builds your legacy in a substantial and impactful way.

Celebrate in ways that are meaningful to you both and know that I’m here in your corner ready to cheer you on, make your photography experience amazing and your photos friggen magical!

Little Blue Lemon Photography

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

We are absolutely in-love with everything 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. When we shoot, we strive to blend in – to become “photo ninjas”. It sounds funny, but we really do want to be forgotten. The less we are noticed, the more we are able to capture those authentic and real candid moments. So how do we do this, you ask? We tell jokes, we laugh, 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 so, the more you forget that we are holding cameras!

Don’t get us wrong, all of us 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 want and our goal is 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! 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 it’s trueness. This gives an honest approach to each and every wedding in a real and genuine way. 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 had worked as a media producer for TELUS which is one of the big telco’s in Canada. After some much needed soul searching I had discovered the corporate life wasn’t for me and soon found myself going ahead on this amazing visual journey. Storytelling was where it’s at and that is something I really strive to do with my wedding photography. I have been around the world shooting everything from monkey’s 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 not only an experienced technical director but also a friend they can feel comfortable with.

Melissa Jane Photography

There is something truly wonderful about capturing life’s precious moments.

I started Melissa Jane Photography in 2014 and since then I have had the pleasure of working with so many amazing couples. In this crazy world we live in, I get a chance to spend a few hours with a couple and their family on their wedding day. My clients welcome me into their homes and lives to take photos that will capture that moment forever. It is hard to not feel connected to each and every couple I work with.

I am dedicated to each and every couple I work with and I love my job. 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 photo shoot. 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 it 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 turn around 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 the 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.

Plum Rose Photography

Any description of Plum Rose is also a description of me: Stephanie. I am a Mother, I am a Wife, and I am a fine art wedding and portrait photographer based in the Durham Region. The images you see from me ARE me; my style is a personal representation – a glimpse into my journey of discovering what love means to me and how I experience it.

I need the light, the warmth, the softness and delicate highlights; I need beauty to make me happy. When I reflect on where I am at and what I do as my “job”, I always have a newfound appreciation of how incredibly lucky I am to be capturing families’ genuine joy – candid laughter and smiles, new life being welcomed into the world, a bride dancing with her father, the romance and emotion between a bride and groom – all these things serve as a reset: a slight pause in a moment when people are just present to one another and I get a reminder on what it is that truly matters in life.

This is personal to me: you’re going to see my boys and my husband, very likely one of Nigel, Rosie or Sprinkles (yes he is a boy), and you might even catch a curse word if I go Live! You will see me, authentic and vulnerable. I don’t feel like I should expect my clients to feel comfortable if I can’t even let my guard down!

I love my family and I know you do too. My job is to help you convey that in an image that you can hold on to for the rest of your lives. I look forward to meeting you!

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 make sure the authenticity remains true. It’s always a fine balance between those two scenarios that makes the wedding day so spacial.
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 its 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
