EP Event Photos did an excellent job for my wife's birthday party. The candid shots were just perfect -capturing special moments and spontaneous reactions. We were thrilled with the results!

Mitchell at Event Photos is fantastic! We hired him through Bark and were able to schedule him within a week. He gave us tips and pointers for props, clothing colour etc, and kept in touch all week regarding our upcoming photo shoot.
Mitchell showed up early to check out the surrounding area (parks) to see where all the nice backgrounds were - something I don't think most photographers would do!
He brought props for my kids and dog to get them to look at the camera. Very reasonably priced, and no time limit. He stays as long as it takes to get all the good shots.
The photos were returned within the week and they are absolutely beautiful. We will be using Mitchell for all our photos, and recommend him to anyone!

Working with Mitchell from Eventphotos was an absolute dream! From our first conversation to the final delivery of photos, everything was smooth, professional, and truly enjoyable.
He has an incredible eye for composition and lighting, and the final gallery exceeded all our expectations. The photos are not only stunning but also tell a story — every image captured genuine emotion, natural moments, and beautiful details.
Beyond the talent behind the lens, Mitchell brought such positive energy; he was friendly, organized, and deeply passionate about his work. He made the entire experience feel effortless and fun.
If you’re looking for someone who can capture authentic, timeless moments with creativity and care, I can’t recommend Mitchell from Eventphotos highly enough!

An amazing experience! Mitchell was contracted to do some professional photos for me and I couldn't be happier with the results. Mitchell kept me up to date with the ongoing process, and sent me examples to see where the project was going! Mitchell was professional and friendly at all times during our conversations and explained every step and every process of his work. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him for any type of photographic work! Mitchell has helped me, through his photography, to begin my own journey in to starting my own business and I am grateful.

Mitchell is an incredible photographer who captured the 1st Birthday celebration of my granddaughter in the most beautiful and memorable way.
From the moment he arrived, Mitchell was professional, friendly, and passionate about his work.
He spent hours meticulously capturing every special moment of the day, from the decorations to the joy and laughter shared among family and friends. Mitchell had a keen eye for detail and composition, ensuring that every shot was perfect and truly captured the essence of the celebration.
Not only was Mitchell a talented photographer, but he also had a warm and engaging personality that put everyone at ease. He interacted effortlessly with guests, making them feel comfortable in front of the camera and capturing authentic, candid moments, especially with the children.
After the event, Mitchell quickly delivered the edited photos, and they were beyond my expectations. The images were stunning, vibrant, and beautifully edited, truly reflecting the joy and love of the day. My granddaughter will have these pictures to cherish for a lifetime, thanks to Mitchell's incredible talent and dedication.

Mitchell is very pleasant to deal with since he is very professional. I like that he takes his time to capture the moment without rushing. I am very impressed with the photo quality since they are high definition and resolution. I got the pictures fast after the event so I did not have to wait to see them. Will definitely book Mitchell once again since he got a lot of good pictures that each and every one actually unique and detailed. He captured the special moments and has a smooth transition from one event to another bringing everything together. More...

Mitchell was amazing! When we first booked him, he asked thoughtful questions and got us very organized so event day was seamless. He took some posed photos and some candid photos of my daughter's quinceanera and we couldn't be happier. The photo's are beautiful! He captured all of the great memories and even edited them to perfection. Even his professionalism at the event was 5-star. He moved around the crowd just perfectly stealthy and when he interacted with the guests, it was with a great smile and laughter. I would highly recommend Mitchell! More...

Rain (Remap)
Our company had a great experience with Mitch during his coverage of our private corporate event in July 2023. He was so professional, and arrived one hour before the doors opened. He prepped beforehand and on his own, he was able to gather as much information about our company and the event so the brief on site is so smooth. Our guests did say they had great interactions with him. He worked without getting too much attention and gave the results we wanted. He delivered the processed photos within a couple of days. Thank you, Mitch! More...

Our Pickleball Club recently held a Fun Tournament and we engaged Event Photos to capture the players and action of the Tournament.
As a new, yet very active club we wanted to be able to share the event with participants and others.
Mitch did a marvelous job of capturing the event without intruding on the games; as though he was there - but not there - until we reviewed his work.
His shots of the players in action to the the team photos are fabulous and continue to evoke memories of a fun event.
I would highly recommend Mitch if you need a professional photographer to capture a special event.

We couldn't be more thrilled with the incredible job Mitch did capturing the precious moments of our youngest daughter's 3rd birthday party! From start to finish, he exhibited the utmost professionalism and creativity. His ability to seamlessly blend into the event allowed him to capture genuine emotions and candid shots that we'll cherish forever. Not only did he beautifully document the key moments, but he also managed to capture all the little details that made the day so special, including all of our family and friends. His talent behind the lens truly shines, and we're beyond grateful for the stunning photos that we'll treasure for a lifetime. Thank you, Mitch, for exceeding our expectations and providing us with memories that we'll forever hold dear! We loved Mitch's work so much that my husband is alsop planning to hire him for work events and we've already recommended him to another friend of ours who runs events, as well! More...
