Oliver shoots photos in a documentary and photojournalistic style. He focuses on capturing moments as they happen and less on posed pictures.
Basically, our philosophy is that we don’t make your session a photoshoot, we capture photos at your session. What does this mean? We do our best to blend into the day and not get in the way of the event — like a documentarian. Oliver’s style is more natural and therefore he typically shoots without accessories like flash and studio lighting.
Ultimately, we want you to have beautiful photos that bring you right back to the moment when you look at them. Let us know what your vision is!

We know how much you look forward to getting your finished photos. The average photographer in the GTHA promises turnaround between 4-8 weeks after your session!! We don’t like to keep you waiting and prioritize incredibly speedy photo turnaround.
For digital photos, we can provide your photos within 7 days of the session!
For film photos, as they have to be developed, we can provide them within 14 days of the session.
If you’d like next day service, that’s always an option too (additional fee).

Nope! The cost of editing is included in your selected package.
