Intimate wedding photographer in Toronto, for couples who lovely boldly and break tradition
Hey there, I’m Lisa! For over 20 years, I’ve been capturing love stories in all their beautiful, heartfelt and (sometimes!) messy glory. As an intimate wedding photographer in Toronto, I’m here for the in-between moments: the way your hand brushes theirs, the joyful tears during the speeches, the belly laughs that leave you breathless and the quiet looks that say everything without a word being spoken.
My approach is simple—be present, stay curious, and tell your story just as it unfolds. I’m all about capturing what makes your day yours: the connections, the laughter, the love. From the moment I pick up my camera, my goal is to create images that bring you right back to the feelings you had on the day they were taken.
WHY I LOVE BEING AN INTIMATE WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER IN TORONTO
Toronto is such a dynamic and diverse city, with so many love stories to be told! As an intimate wedding photographer, I’m honored to be a couple’s choice to celebrate their unique brand of love in the city with so many choices and ways to celebrate.
What I love most is working with couples who celebrate their relationships in authentic ways—whether that’s through breaking traditions, embracing new ones, or simply focusing on the people who matter most. Every wedding I document reflects the beauty of love in all its forms, and being a part of that is what inspires me every day.
GET TO KNOW MY WORK
A portfolio gallery is only a small fraction of our work. Here’s what else we want to show you…
Remember that portfolios and things that are shared on social media are the top 1% of someone’s work and not always representative of what a full wedding may look like. It’s great to love the 1% but you need to love the other 99% too.
We have full galleries of weddings to share with all inquiring parties and we also want you to look through some of our favourite blog posts so you can learn more about how we tell our stories!
What is an Intimate Wedding?
An intimate wedding is all about connection. It’s not about the number of people— although there definitely is a lot of overlap between intimate weddings and elopements – it’s about the moments that matter most. An intimate wedding is one where you look forward to the laughter more than you value the fancy center pieces or the one where you want to have real conversations with each and every guest rather than ushering them through a speedy receiving line.
Intimate weddings are deeply personal. They’re about slowing down, being truly present, and creating space to fully soak in every hug, every (happy) tear, every laugh, and every smile. Intimate weddings aren’t rushed. They can be as carefully planned and thoughtfully crafted as larger celebrations, but with the focus on connection and meaning, rather than size or spectacle.
As an intimate wedding photographer in Toronto, I’m here to tell your story as it naturally unfolds. I’ll capture the quiet moments, the big laughs, and everything in between—the real, raw, and genuinely unique story that only your day can tell. It brings me so much joy to capture those who are truly surrounded by love – a feeling we want you to remember in your photos.

Questions
Do you only shoot intimate weddings in Toronto?
No, we are not limited to Toronto and we love to travel! We are available on select dates for national and international events and can provide a custom quote for your adventure experience.
Can we hire you for the ceremony and a few formal photos?
Technically yes, you can, – however, we thrive on storytelling . Our minimum is 3 hours because capturing just the ceremony and formals doesn’t let us do what we do best—documenting the real moments. Trust me, the moments where you’re interacting with your friends and family are just as important as the photos of you and your partner!
General Questions
Can you help us find a photo location?
Absolutely – it’s our specialty! Choosing a photography location for your wedding photos depends on many factors, including what vibe and style you’re striving for, what schedule we’re on, and what is meaningful to you. We always work collaboratively to our clients to provide options and education!
How much time do we need for photos?
That depends – what is important to you? There’s no rule for how much time you should spend on photos, rather, it depends on what’s important to you. If 30+ combinations of family photos is important to you then we make the time for it. If you’d rather attend your cocktail hour than do a huge photo session, then that’s cool too!
Describe your style and approach, as an intimate wedding photographer
I’m a documentary photographer who focuses on intimate weddings; this means that I thrive in emotion and connection. I don’t stage moments—I anticipate them and wait for them. I blend in, observe, and document your day as it unfolds—relishing in the emotions, actions and reactions.
Can we still have the first dances, speeches, and reception at an intimate wedding?
Absolutely! An intimate wedding is not limited to a certain number of hours or ceremony only, in fact, most couples who work with us still have a full day of coverage; the only difference is that a full day usually fits into 5 or 6 hours since intimate weddings generally span a shorter overall timeframe.
Your portfolio has a lot of black and white, do we get colour photos, too?
IWe strive to provide colour as much as possible, but some moments just thrive in black & white, so we love adding bonus black & white edits to our clients files. If we could, we would deliver a whole wedding in black & white!) So while we will strive to provide colour of everything and bonus black & whites at our discretion, we loooooove the black and white images and if that isn’t your think that’s cool, but we may not be the best fit for each other.
I’m awkward in front of a camera, is that okay?
That depends – do you actually mean awkward? Or do you mean uncomfortable? There’s a big difference! Awkward is no biggie, uncomfortable means we need to chat a little further to make sure we’re the best fit for each other.
If you feel like you’ll be awkward, but you’re committed to leaning into the process, being vulnerable, being connected and have fun, then it’s totally okay to feel awkward! But if you are actually uncomfortable with affection, connection and vulnerability, then you may be better suited with an editorial photographer since they have a different skill set that would be better suited to crafting beautiful images and giving clearer directions.
KIND WORDS
“I can’t thank you enough, we absolutely love our photos! Everyone loves them, but more importantly, you made everyone feel so calm and you were such a source of comfort! Thank you, thank you, thank you!”
