KIND WORDS FROM PAST COUPLES
BREANNE & MARK / 2019 WEDDING
Paolo was the photographer for our January 2019 engagement shoot and June 2019 wedding. Words can’t describe what an amazing job he did on both days. He was so responsive and friendly during the process, sending us updates and words of encouragement as the wedding came closer. He put in a lot of time and effort on the day of the wedding, going above and beyond to make sure he had the best shots for our photos. Everyone was very comfortable shooting with Paolo and our wedding party had so much fun. From the previews he’s given us so far, the photos are stunning and perfectly capture what it was like on the day. On top of the planned photos, Paolo captured a lot of unstaged moments without us evening noticing which turned out so good and are our favourite shots. We can't recommend Paolo enough!
SUBHA & COLLIN / 2019 WEDDING
I don't usually leave reviews but I had to leave one to let the world know how AMAZING Paolo is. He was the only photographer for our wedding of 250 guests on Aug 4th 2019 and he also did our engagement shoot. I researched extensively to find the right photographer being the picky person I am and Paolo was the answer to my prayers! His style of candid photography was exactly what we were looking for and he took the time to understand our personalities. My now husband is camera shy but Paolo was so great in making the both of us feel comfortable and the shots captured were truly intimate and unique. Paolo was punctual and always maintained a constant flow of communication keeping us both in the loop. He went above and beyond on the day of our wedding and honestly not only is he a photography genius but he is a great human who we are now lucky to call our friend. I cannot recommend him enough and we will forever be grateful for everything he has done :)
SARA & KYLE / 2019 WEDDING
I could not rave enough about Paolo! He was incredibly friendly and professional from the moment we met him! He always gave us sneak peaks of our photos and put his personal touch and style into everything from the meetings we had to the photoshoots and the editing of the photos! He was so flexible with locations, second shooters and hours throughout the day that we truly did not have to worry or put a second thought into anything! We are truly grateful to have hired him and had him to work with! He even played music at our first look that added something so incredibly special for both of us. We will have some amazing memories to look back on and they will be amplified by the amazing photos he provided for us. I HIGHLY recommend! Thank you Paolo!
MY APPROACH TO DOCUMENTING YOUR CELEBRATION
EFFORTLESS & METHODICAL
My approach and style is simply effortless and methodical at the same time. To capture candid moments as much as possible while directing and posing you in between. All while in a beautiful editorial style and utilizing the best literal and figurative light as possible.
01
ENJOYABLE EXPERIENCE
I want my couples to have an enjoyable photographic experience. To be amazed at and feel a sense of nostalgia for years, decades to come with their photos.
02
VIBE IS KEY
When you connect with your photographer, you collaborate with him/her better and it shows in the photos. Look around at other photographers and ensure this connection is present with whom ever you choose.
03
CELEBRATION OVER PERFORMANCE
You’re celebrating a monumental life chapter with your partner. Your family and friends who have been there to support you along the way will probably be there as well. I want to capture these celebratory moments above all!
04
PHOTOJOURNALISM
Unposed, raw, and genuine moments. For the majority of the day I want you to take it all in. I’ll be somewhere close by capturing your celebration.
05
DIRECTING & POSING
Not to worry however, we’ll be sure to capture your important family and wedding party photos! Likewise create some amazing editorial portraits of you and your significant other!
06
NATURAL LIGHTING
I live for shooting in natural lighting. It’s part of the fun, challenge and creating magic in photographs. It also preserves how the day felt in relation to the overall ambient mood. I do carry flashes with me and use them when necessary!
