Hey there, I’m Andreas.

I’m a Toronto documentary wedding photographer specializing in intimate documentary wedding photography in Toronto and abroad.

A client once said “Andreas, your photos feel like home” - and if I’m being honest, that really best describes my approach to this work. I’m dedicated to creating work for my clients that feel personal and completely unique to them.

Being someones wedding photographer is a fairly personal thing, and as your photographer, I’ll provide you with a set of one-of-a-kind photos that you too will want to showcase in your own home.

“Andreas was very easy-going and he made us feel comfortable. He managed to capture our wedding authentically while always conducting himself professionally, and our pictures turned out beautifully!”

The Experience

Intimate, personal, and your very own. Wedding photography for those planning the experience of a lifetime.

Your wedding, your vision. Be seen, just as your are.

By creating space for you to simply embrace and enjoy the wedding you’ve planned, I can capture the spontaneous moments as they happen. The wedding lasts a day, but these photos last a lifetime.

A woman in a wedding dress is standing with her hands together, seemingly praying or giving thanks, in a decorated banquet hall with tables set for a celebration.

It’s about observing, not directing.

This isn’t about creating an editorialized and overly staged “picture perfect” image, but rather paying attention to what’s happening, to create a set of images that capture the energy and emotion of the day.

Three men smiling at a party, one with a glass of wine, the middle wearing a tuxedo, the right with a bracelet, in a dimly lit room with other guests in the background.

A Foundation based on experience, and a passion for capturing the authentic.

Twenty years isn’t just a number, it’s the foundation of the experience and knowledge from having documented hundreds of weddings across a wide range of cultures and traditions.

My experience as a documentary wedding photographer also comes through in the way I work with you - my method is relaxed and stress-free; put people at ease, and capture candid images of them having a great time.

“We knew from looking all over Instagram that we didn’t want obviously staged images. Andreas gave us a set of beautifully honest and candid photos that we can call our own.”

– Liz Perry

A group of women, including a bride in a satin robe, are laughing and smiling together in a joyful moment.

What Documentary wedding photography is really all about.

It’s not just a trendy keyword, and it’s certainly not about working through a check list of posed or directed images.

It’s about allowing your wedding to unfold on it’s own, so you can actually enjoy the day without any added fuss or stress.

My goal as your documentary wedding photographer is to give you a set of one of a kind photos that will become conversation starters for you and your family, years down the road.

Here’s why couples choose me to be their wedding photographer.

✓ I specialize in documentary-style wedding photography for couples looking for discreet service for their private family event, and I have done so exclusively for the past twenty years.

✓ I understand that your wedding day is meant to be with the people you love—not spent posing. I work with quiet intention, allowing moments to unfold naturally and without disruption.

✓ My approach is rooted in presence. You remain fully immersed in your celebration, while I thoughtfully document the day as it truly looked and felt—honest, beautiful, and unforced.

✓ I’ve photographed hundreds of weddings, across a wide range of cultures and traditions, and I bring both experience and sensitivity to every event. I know when to step in—and when to disappear into the background to let things unfold on their own.

✓ Your privacy is always respected. The photographs I create are for you and your family in mind and will only be posted online if you give me permission to do so.

✓ Clear, respectful communication is part of the service. I respond promptly—often the same business day—and remain accessible and involved throughout our time working together.

✓ From photographing to editing to final delivery, I personally handle every step of the process. This ensures a seamless experience and a cohesive, intentional body of work.

“Having Andreas photograph Sophie’s wedding felt as though he was just one of the guests. What I noticed was that he was calm and intentional in the moments he chose to capture.”

– David Massicott, Father of the Bride
