Everyone has a way that they want to be portrayed. After 12 years in the industry, I take pride in that I take the time to get to know my subjects. When I'm done I'm setting up, I promise you I am someone that will make you laugh, find your best angle, and find the best way to possibly photograph you.

Wedding Photography
Dylan was the best person we could have found to photograph our wedding and was amazing from the word go. Everything was handled extremely proessionally and he was quick to answer our questions and set our minds at ease for the big day.
He went above and beyond what we were expecting and met us in person to get a feel for what we were looking for in our photos. He even made time to walk around the venue a week beforehand to better prepare for the day.
We really appreciated his sense of humour, it made taking the photos a lot of fun and meant everyone had huge smiles!
And most importantly he took absolutely beautiful photos! If we could give him 10 out fo 5 stars we would!

Dylan is my go-to for any type of shoot. He's professional, fun to work with and provides quality work. He makes you feel at ease and guides you throughout the shoot. One of his best qualities is that he’s always keen to put his own creative twist, but also meets your requirements. More...

Dylan is super professional in all aspects of having him as your photographer. He not only creates the picture you have imagined, but also, makes you feel so comfortable that it doesn’t even feel like you’re having your picture taken. He also has a unique eye and suggestions for super creative and artistic photos. He gives you what you have envisioned and also something personal and unique which represents his and your artistic expression. More...

What’s the secret to taking a great photograph?
That the client is relaxed and comfortable with the shot, whether it be their image they have in mind or my suggestion. Often, people feel uncomfortable in front of a camera, so I try to establish a friendly, yet professional environment, so that everyone feels safe to express themselves for the perfect shot.
What do you love most about your job?
Meeting and working with a wide variety of people and cultures, I often see incredible cool stuff that keeps me inspired to take the best shots possible. Many jobs take me to new venues and places, constantly stimulating me creatively to come up with new ideas for shoots. I often discover this through the beauty in the small things in my everyday life, which inspire and motivate me.
What inspired you to start your own business?
Growing up with my grandfather who was himself a photographer played a crucial role in my development as a child and eventual adult. After his passing, I realized that I too had a keen eye to capture a moment, and was partially inspired to do photography to venerate and remember my grandfather apart from the fact that I am good at it. Logically, I then started my own photography business to incorporate both.
Why should our clients choose you?
I have excellent time-management skills, prioritized high-end editing skills, and my photography has earned great praise from numerous private and commercial clients. I have a very approachable personality that immediately sets people at ease. I have a knack to make people laugh, and this relaxes them in order to capture that perfect shot. I also offer competitive pricing to other photographers.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
The editing part of my photography is currently the only service that can be efficiently done online or remotely. The actual shooting still needs to be in-person to capture the moment and the mood from a third-person perspective.
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
Apart from constantly wearing my mask, I also keep hand sanitizer. I adhere to the social distancing protocol. When in the proximity of the client, I encourage them to wear their masks too.
