4 GREAT REASONS WE’RE YOUR TORONTO WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHERS
01. Over 650+ shoots worth of experience
As a team of experienced Toronto wedding photographers, we know that you have ONE chance to get it right; there is no re-doing a wedding! 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 began our Toronto wedding photographer journey 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. Our secret? We’re not just some random people behind a camera who calls themselves Toronto wedding photographers – we’re real people just like you and also feel awkward in front of the camera. We get it and we can totally work with it.
PS: 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 the 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!

THE
TEAM
Toronto wedding photographers with over 650+ weddings worth of experience.
Erika, Sarah, and Anne-Marie are the heart of the Ten·2·Ten Photography team. Erika and Sarah are both lead photographers and Anne-Marie is the editing and retouching specialist and the glue that holds everything together.
ERIKA
PHOTOGRAPHER + OWNER
Originally from northern Ontario and now a Toronto wedding photographer, 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.
YOU’RE A TORONTO WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER, BUT DO YOU TRAVEL?
Yes! We travel and we’re happy to do so. At the moment we are limiting our travel to within the province of Ontario due to the pandemic and not accepting international contracts. If you’re having an Ontario destination wedding, please reach out for a custom quote.
Kind Words
Erika made our wedding so special by capturing all the beautiful moments between family and friends. She also made the process leading up to the wedding so comfortable and stress-free. From our initial conversation with Erika, we knew we were in good hands.
Erika is not only incredibly talented and experienced, but was also a joy to work with. Thank you Erika!
— Leila + Danilo
I first worked with Erika nearly 6 years ago when my boyfriend and I had only been dating for a while, I didn’t even think I was looking for a Toronto wedding photographer yet but we answered a model call of hers and had such an amazing time working with her that we knew when our big day came around, Erika had to be the photographer. Fast forward to 2019 and Terry put a ring on my finger and we set our wedding date around Erika’s availability – we knew she was the only photographer we wanted to work with!
— Marilyn + Terry
Simply put – Erika is amazing! She is so dedicated to her work and has a great attention to detail. She helped my husband and I, who are both camera shy, feel comfortable in both our engagement and wedding photos. She knows exactly what she is doing, is very professional, and also FUN! Our pictures are breath taking and received many compliments from friends and family. Her photos truly captured our wedding day and provided us memories that will be forever cherished.
