Photography is an instinct to me; a natural response to the beauty that surrounds me. It is about capturing a little bit of life and soul in every image, telling stories of love, and enjoying the simple things that matter if everything else were to fall away. Collaboration is an important part of every shoot I do for a collection of beautiful, timeless, signature photos that you will fall madly in love with.

My approach is romantic, artful, and modern, and I would be absolutely honoured to capture your love’s big moments. Please visit my website to view galleries of my work. I would love to get together over a latte and simply can’t wait to dream up a signature collection just for you.

What makes Daydream Studios of choice for so many families and companies? You’ll find the answers below in a simple Question and Answer format.

What sort of guarantee do you offer?
Believe it or not, the most frequent “complaint” we hear from clients is that we have taken too many great pictures and it’s hard to decide which are their favorites!
But we recognize that choosing a photographer is not an everyday decision, and you may be nervous about making the right choice. Don’t be! We GUARANTEE great pictures. If you’re not happy with the images from your studio portrait session you can choose a refund or reschedule another complimentary session, no questions asked!

How would you describe your photography?
Our photography reflects a balance of technical excellence combined with relaxed, natural expressions and poses. Unless a client requests a specific “look” our portraiture aims to focus the viewer’s attention on the individual or relationship, not on distracting externals like the background.
Before your session we listen carefully to your thoughts and concerns. This interaction helps us bring together the design and technical elements to achieve exactly what you are looking for. Sessions are always private, unhurried, calm and relaxed.

Is retouching available?
Yes, we have the most advanced image enhancement software and highly skilled artists to make your photographs “picture perfect”. Our Glamour Retouching can even make you look 10/20 years younger or 10/20 pounds lighter.

Where are you located?
Most of our clients choose to have their photography done in the convenience of their own home, office, or at a favorite location in the GTA or out side the GTA. We photograph clients by appointment only.

What do you do to stay current with changing technology and styles of photography?
Photography is a complex mix of art and technology, and the best photographers recognize the need for constant renewal to keep pace with new equipment, techniques, and styles. That’s why I participate in national or international photography trade shows, seminars, workshops, or mentoring sessions throughout the year.

Quality vs. Quantity of Wedding Photography

This is one of the age old controversies related to wedding photography. When you are covering a wedding occasion, you will certainly like to snap every moment and at the end may take hundreds of photographs. As your aim will remain on clicking the maximum number of photos, you may not be able to select the best angle and make the perfect composition. However, if you focus on quality, you may not be able to take hundreds of snaps. Yet, all the photographs will be worthy and that is what is actually required. Though many professional photographers consider the number of photographs to be important than quality, photographers who truly values the occasion believes in maintaining quantity without compromising quality.

Tips to Maintain Quality and Quantity of Wedding Photographs

Wedding photographs are something that helps in cherishing the special moments years after marriage. So, the job should always be done professionally. To maintain quality and quantity of wedding photographs, you can take note of some simple tips.

You should know how many photographers will be working there and what type of camera they will be using. If you are a professional, you should select the camera that you will be carrying for the occasion and also the other equipments that you need for the photo shoot. You should also make the right choice of lenses to create the best effect from any photograph.

Whom To Cover- When it is a marriage party, there is no doubt about the fact that the newly married couple will be the center of attraction. However, the photographs of the day will include their relatives and friends too. Out of which, some of them are really special. Arrange a meeting before the day and make a list of people, whom you need to cover on the day. If multiple photographers are working in the occasion, you may make a plan and divide your areas of work. This will help in avoiding any kind of confusion on the day and the quantity as well as the quality of the photographs will be maintained easily.

Be familiar with the Location- Wedding parties can be arranged in halls, gardens and even in beaches. Ask for the venue of the party and check the location a day or two before so that you can find the right spots for shooting some special photographs of the couple.

If you do your homework well, you can easily get the quality as well as quantity in any wedding photography assignment.

In your photography course, you may have been introduced with the basics of different types of photography. You may have also been taught about the technicalities of photographs. However, there some intricacies of photography that you can learn only with practice. One of them is capturing the mood of the photograph or presenting the human emotions. When you are snapping photos of human beings, especially of a couple, you should make sure that your photo is reflecting their bonding in the right way. To click the perfect picture of a couple, you need to take note of some simple factors.

Interact with the Couple

This should be the first step, when you are taking couple’s photographs. Interact with the couple and know their preferences of location or setting. Also know whether they are engaged or not. If yes, make sure that you capture their emotions in the right way. You can take their snap at the beach, in a park or even in a party. Whatever be the place, it should blend perfectly with the personality of the couple. Also ensure that the dress of the couple is merging rightly with the background, else the photograph will lose the impact.

Purpose of the Photograph

You may shoot a still photograph of two models for the promotion of any products. In that case, your product should get the major focus but the couple’s posture should also be taken note of. If you are just shooting a casual couple, your photograph should speak of their friendly bonding. However, when the photo shoot is for an engagement party, the bonding should be reflected in the picture while for married couple, the care and affection is a must. Select the right angle and get the perfect posture to get the job done perfectly.

Guide or Groom the Couple

As a professional, you know the importance of different types of elements for composing a photograph but a common man with no or little knowledge of photography are not aware of that. Therefore, you should guide the couple with the right pose and right location. Help them to be comfortable with the setting of the place so that you can find the best expression at ease. If you are taking random clicks, you should make the couple get engaged in different fun activities. When you are taking random clicks try to shoot some candid moments in which the couple shows a natural pose than an instructed one.

Crop, Edit and Apply Special Effects

Just making the right click is not all. To bring out the best effect from any photograph, you need to edit it and crop out the sections that are not required. Correct the colors and contrasts wherever required. Also take special care of the light and correct it if required. You should also try to add some special effects in the photograph to make it appear brilliant. Yet, do not overdo with the special effects as it will ruin the natural beauty of the snap.
