Toronto Wedding Photographer & Videographer with a Cinematic, Film-Inspired Approach
If you’re searching for a Toronto wedding photographer and videographer who blends storytelling with a cinematic style, my approach is rooted in years of experience working in film and television with a deep understanding of how real moments unfold.
Before founding Maple & Clover, I trained at the New York Film Academy and built my career in film production as an assistant director. Working alongside cinematographers taught me how to shape light, compose scenes, and anticipate emotion before it happens. Today, I continue that work in film, but swapped departments for a more hands-on approach to filmmaking. I’m now a grip technician with IATSE 873 in Toronto. With weddings, I bringing that same technical knowledge and awareness into every wedding I photograph and film.
The result is cinematic wedding photography and videography in Toronto that feels natural, intentional, and timeless.
Experience That Goes Beyond Photography
Weddings move fast and experience matters.
From my early days in film, I developed strong customer service and communication skills while working with actors, crews, and high-pressure environments. That experience directly translates into weddings, where personality, timing, and awareness are just as important as technical skill.
Knowing when to step in and guide, and when to step back and let moments happen organically, is a big part of what defines my work as a wedding photographer and videographer.
Wedding Videography That Tells Your Story
With over 10 years of experience shooting and editing wedding films, my approach to wedding videographyis rooted in storytelling.
Rather than relying on generic music-driven edits, I focus on capturing real dialogue from your day, your vows, speeches, and candid in-between moments and weaving them into your film. This creates something far more personal and meaningful.
No two weddings are the same. Each film is shaped by the couple, their personalities, and the unique energy of the day, resulting in a wedding film that feels completely your own.
What You’re Really Investing In
Wedding photography and videography is not just one day, it’s a complete process.
Pre-Production
Before the wedding, I work closely with you to plan engagement sessions, discuss video coverage, build timelines, and ensure everything flows smoothly.
The Wedding Day
Whether it’s 6, 8, or 10 hours of coverage, wedding days are fast-paced, often with constant movement and very little downtime. Capturing both photo and/or video requires experience, coordination, and the ability to anticipate moments as they happen.
Post-Production
After the wedding, I spend roughly 20–40+ hours editing your images and/or video. Carefully crafting your wedding content, selecting the right moments, refining colour, and building a cohesive story. This is why hiring a wedding photographer and videographer is about more than just coverage, it’s about the full experience from start to finish.
Film Wedding Photography Included in Every Package
In addition to digital coverage, I include film wedding photography in every package.
Film creates a softness and authenticity that digital alone can’t replicate. It encourages a more intentional approach and results in timeless, nostalgic images that stand apart. For couples looking for a refined, artistic aesthetic, film adds a unique layer to their wedding story.
The Investment Behind the Work
There is a significant behind-the-scenes investment that supports every wedding I take on.
From professional cameras and lenses to lighting equipment, film stock, and high-performance Mac computers running industry-standard editing software, not to mention the hundreds of hours spent on perfecting websites and uploading to social media. All this time and effort represents many thousands of dollars. On top of that are years of hands-on experience, training, and continuous learning across both photography and videography.
All of this contributes to delivering consistent, high-quality cinematic wedding photography and videography.
Transparent Wedding Photography & Videography Pricing
I believe in clear and honest pricing, no nickel and diming.
There are no hidden fees, just a transparent reflection of the time, experience, and care that goes into each wedding.
Final Thoughts
At the end of the day, my goal is simple: to tell your story in the most honest and cinematic way possible, through both photo and film.
If you’re looking for a wedding photographer and videographer who offers a cinematic approach with film photography included, I’d love to hear about your plans.
