TEN·2·TEN
PHOTOGRAPHY
For couples who value the real moments in life
OUR MISSION + PHILOSOPHY
REAL EMOTIONS, REAL CONNECTION + REAL PEOPLE ARE WHAT MAKE MEMORIES
We are the Toronto wedding photographer team who embraces the awkward and captures connection. Our job is to capture you, your partner, friends, and your family as naturally as possible. We say no to cookie-cutter poses and learn what’s most important for you. Every wedding is different and we respect that.
CHOOSING A TORONTO WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER:
We are a team of passionate, experienced, and exceptionally dedicated Toronto wedding photographers that somewhat go against the grain of what the “traditional” wedding industry is about.
We believe it’s not just about the details but it’s about the people. You, your spouse as well as your friends and family deserves to be captured in a beautiful and authentic way without forcing you into certain poses or asking you to repeat moments.
Here’s some things to consider when looking to hire a wedding photographer:
• HOW MANY WEDDINGS HAVE THEY SHOT SOLO?
• CAN THEY SHOOT IN A VARIETY OF VENUES?
• DO ALL THEIR “AUTHENTIC” MOMENTS ACTUALLY LOOK THE SAME?
• DO YOU FEEL YOU SHARE SIMILAR VALUES WITH THEM AS AN INDIVIDUAL?
• IS IT ABOUT THE PEOPLE OR JUST AN EPIC BACKGROUND?
• ARE THEY WILLING TO SHOW YOU MULTIPLE FULL GALLERIES?
DO YOU HAVE SPECIFC QUESTIONS? REACH OUT TO US!
4 GREAT REASONS TO HIRE US
01. 650+ shoots worth of experience
As a wedding photographer, you have ONE chance to get it right; there are no re-doing things. They say practice makes perfect, right? With over 650 weddings, engagements, and elopements under our belts, we have never been caught off-guard and can always produce beautiful images in any situation.
02. Truly unique style
We started in 2008 – long before you could purchase presets to give your images certain looks. The unique colour palette we use to edit our images is truly one-of-a-kind. It was developed by us long before buying presets was a thing. The vibrant and rich colour of our images is unique to us only!
03. We love “awkward” couples
Most folks who inquire tell us that they’re “awkward” in front of a camera and those are our favourite people! Our job is to work with our couples to built rapport and give them natural prompts to their personalities shine through any ‘awkwardness’ that might be there. All our ‘awkward’ clients have ROCKED their sessions and loved their images.
04. Behind-the-scenes safety
One of the worst nightmares a couple can experience is receiving the dreaded “We lost your images” email. Remember when we talked about experience earlier? Part of that includes a workflow that has multiple redundant steps put in place to ensure your images are safe: we even make copies of your images WHILE we’re taking them on the wedding day! We had one chance to get it right: and we do!

ERIKA
PHOTOGRAPHER + OWNER
Originally from northern Ontario, Erika is the winter wedding champ! She’s a wife, a mom, manages her famous cat’s Instagram, and a reluctant TikTok-er.
She still quotes the Simpsons and is happiest when she’s laughing and meeting new people. Every photograph weddings, engagement, and lifestyle sessions.
SARAH
PHOTOGRAPHER
Sarah will stop to pet every dog she sees and she’s happiest when she gets to explore the outdoors, especially those areas close to her hometown: Guelph. She never understands Erika’s Simpsons quotes but can speak fluent Friends. Sarah is happiest when she’s photographing down-to-earth folks who love to make new friends.
ANNE-MARIE
EDITOR
Anne-Marie has spent years working with the Ten·2·Ten Team and closely alongside Erika to learn how to edit in our signature style. We formed our editing style long before it became convenient to purchase “looks” and Anne-Marie has mastered the ability to turn RAW images into exactly what Erika + Sarah envisioned while shooting.
KIND WORDS
“It was like hanging our with a new friend who happened to have a nice camera.”
The service I got from Ten·2·Ten Photography was more than I ever expected. Erika really listens and cares bout you and is able to understand what is important to you on your wedding day. She was really open about everything and wasn’t afraid to hear my ideas and thoughts too. By the end of our wedding it really felt like we had more than just a vendor relationship, I know Erika genuinely cared.

FAQ
HOW LONG DOES IT TAKES TO GET OUR FULL GALLERY OF IMAGES?
This will depend on what we’re shooting and what time of year it is. We have a dedicated editor to help us with workflow because we know that what’s important to you is getting high quality images back as fast as humanly possible. For engagements we quote 2-3 weeks and weddings anywhere from 6-10 weeks. We have delivered weddings in as little as 2 weeks!
DO YOU HAVE BACKUP GEAR WHEN YOU SHOOT WEDDINGS?
We’re Toronto wedding photographers; that means our job can take us to so many dynamic places; from waterfalls to wine cellars. No matter where we go, we bring a full set of back up gear: cameras, lenses, flashes, batteries – you name it. We are also making active backups while shooting during your wedding (2 memory cards at a time!) and have a robust backup system in the office. Safety first!!
HOW MANY PHOTOS WILL I GET IN MY FINAL IMAGE GALLERY?
Every wedding is different but we generally estimate about 60-70 images per hour that we’re shooting. We keep all the good images in your final gallery (nobody wants blurry, blink-y photos!) and never hold back the good stuff, even if it means we go over our estimate.
Kind Words
When we hired Ten·2·Ten Photography, it was really important for us that we found someone who would feel like family to us. Our wedding wasn’t so much about the centerpieces or the designers, it was about bringing together two families that have unique stories, and Erika was able to capture that perfectly.
Since our wedding, Erika has been there for countless family photos, maternity, newborn and birth photos. We can’t thank her enough for the memories she’s provided us.

I love that you’ve made it this far! For the folks who have taken the time to scroll down, I wanted to share something extra-important with you: why I became a Toronto wedding photographer.
I’m not a wedding photographer because I adore fancy designers or drool over centerpieces; I’m a Toronto wedding photographer because this city (and the surrounding areas) are filled with some of the most unique, genuine and beautiful love stories I’ve ever been witness to.
There’s no right or wrong way to get married and there’s no right or wrong way to show your love for each other. Being a wedding photographer in Toronto has offered me the chance to capture memories for so many unique couples and families and I’ve been able to gain a crucial skill: breaking the cookie-cutter mould.
I’m not necessarily “anti wedding industry” but I know that what we often see as weddings in the media is only one of the many ways that couples can choose to celebrate their marriages and I’m devoted to learning about your love story and helping capture memories for you that reflect who you really are.
-Erika xoxo
