Portrait and wedding photography have always been my favourite areas of work since 2008.
I am a curious photographer and this leads me to be open to different and creative interpretations of the way I conceive a wedding photo shoot.
I love photographs that tell emotions in an original and creative way without an intrusive presence of post production. I received the title of POY 2012 of WPJA and many other awards, also in ISPWP of course :)

In the last few years I have developed a particular interest in wet plates photography and other alternative ancient printing techniques that I also apply in wedding photography.

Ben Schaefer, Silver and Salt, Boston, Massachusetts

I have been a Boston based photographer for over a decade.  I strive to make images that are timeless, artful, creative, funky, hilarious, beautiful....but most importantly, authentic to who my couples are, and thier day.  I want to capture the story of a celebration in a candid photojournalistic style, while also producing art.

Diego and Liza, Diego and Liza Photography, Toronto, Ontario

Diego and I are not your cookie-cutter photographers. 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 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.

Marius Dragan, AMDragan Photography, New York

I like to say that I not only take photos at a wedding, but I create a mindset that will help me get all the best on the wedding day. I create a story in which the bride and groom are the stars and I let them be free, so that my photos will show their pure emotions and feelings.
