We’re Hannah and Andrew, a married creative duo based in Ottawa. We photograph weddings through an elevated photojournalistic lens. Blending candid observation with a loose editorial sensibility shaped by 1960s/70s cinema and a love of striking imagery. We’re drawn to moody lighting, interesting composition, and the unique details that makes each day special.

Hannah

My love for photography began at eleven, when I first felt drawn to its ability to preserve a memory. That curiosity grew into a lifelong passion for the art of documenting meaningful experiences. Since 2014, I’ve photographed weddings across Ontario and Quebec, bringing a calm presence and thoughtful guidance to each celebration. I focus on creating images that feel personal and reflective of each couple.

Andrew

Andrew is drawn to emotional storytelling, approaching each wedding with reverence and care. His background in film informs how he creates images that feel natural and transportive, returning couples to the feeling of the day. Outside of photography, he spends time cooking and exploring food, which continues to shape his appreciation for craft and process.

Our shared influences include a deep love of cinema and independent filmmaking. We met in film school, so creating captivating imagery together has always been close to our hearts. We’re part of the Ottawa film community and collaborate on creative projects, which challenges how we think about visual language, teamwork, and producing art that resonates with an audience.

Our Approach

From chic urban weddings in Ottawa to countryside celebrations in Quebec, we pay attention to the details that make the day feel like yours.

The way your guests enjoy the festivities. A quiet touch from your partner during dinner. The emotion in the room during a speech.

Those are the moments that shape the story of the day, and photography gifts you a piece of that to hold onto.

Our work is influenced by vintage aesthetics, but each wedding is photographed with a contemporary perspective. The focus is always on your relationship and the feeling of the day as it naturally unfolds.

If our work resonates with you, we would love to connect.
