My Approach To Capturing Your Wedding Day..
Wondering how the day will go in regard to photos? Wondering what you need to do? Not much, really. For most of the day I really just try to be a fly on the wall, looking for those little moments that I believe should be captured. Usually I start with capturing the details… your dress, your suit, shoes, jewellery, flowers and stationary items. Then move on to you candidly enjoying time with your wedding party & family as you get ready for the days events; Popping some bubbly or cheersing some beers, dancing around in your robes, the tying of the dress etc.
What happens next depends on whether you want to do a first look or keep it traditional with you seeing each other for the first time as you walk down the aisle. If you scheduled for a first look, we will find the perfect spot for it to go down. Then usually follow it up with family & wedding party portraits. This can be a huge time saver for after your ceremony so you can enjoy more time with your guests during the cocktail hour. Depending on the size of your party & family, these photos usually just take about 20-30 minutes each.
The ceremony. Alright, it’s go time. Again, I am just a fly on the wall capturing all the emotional moments as they unfold. You walking down the aisle, your partner tearing up, your family & everyone attending admiring the love between you both, your nephew making funny faces at the camera :P Same goes for cocktail hour; I will be just wandering around looking for candid moments. This is also a great time to get some group shots of you & your guests together.
After dinner, it is always great to plan 10-15 minutes for us to quickly step away from the party to grab a few more photos of you both at sunset. This is also a great time for you both just to take a moment to take everything in, all the work you have done to get you to this point. Just be in the moment.
And finally, the dance floor. Capturing that beautiful first dance between you two, family dances, & then the DJ welcoming everyone to the centre of the room. I will dance along with you getting some fun photos & then that is a wrap for me! I will wish you both a great rest of your night & I will head home to back up all of your photos from the day. I hope that gives you an idea of how I would document your special day. Click the button below to get this ball rolling!

“I am awestruck with how my wedding photos turned out! My husband and I have a tendency to feel uncomfortable in front of cameras, but Brendan was so friendly and understanding. He had creative ideas, made us feel completely comfortable, and the photos he captured on our special day are beyond incredible. One of the main reasons I wanted Brendan as our photographer is because the first thing I noticed when looking at his website is that his photos aren't "cookie-cutter". They are moody, raw, beautiful, and just everything I wanted for my wedding photos. Thank you so much, Brendan!”
Ashley & Mike
“Brendan captured some family and engagement photos for us as well as our wedding photos. He was very responsive and open and his friendly and happy demeanour put us at ease in front of the camera (which is saying a lot because we are both very camera shy!) and made our wedding day comfortable and lots of fun! Our photos turned out absolutely gorgeous and he did a beautiful job putting together our wedding album. We will definitely be looking to Brendan for any more photo shoots down the road!”
Laura & Brad
“Brendan captured our wedding day perfectly. He knows how to make a couple feel comfortable and at ease in front of the camera, making the process enjoyable and memorable. I knew I was going to use Brendan as our photographer before I was even engaged. He returned our engagement shots to us promptly and made the process of retrieving our photos simple, yet secure.
Leading up to the wedding, Brendan was always available to answer questions, responding within a day, which helped keep us calm as we neared our big day.
On the day of the wedding, Brendan showed up to the venue early and scouted out locations for first look photos and captured the ceremony/reception space. As the day unfolded, Brendan discovered some unique photo opportunities and made sure we got those shots. We were very pleased to get to work with Brendan for our wedding photography. His personality, pleasant nature, knowledge of weddings and photography skills shone through and we would recommend him to anyone considering wedding photography in the future.”
