About Me

My story so far...

I was lucky to grow up in the 80's. Vinyl records, big cars, unannounced visits from friends and the great - slide projector.

From a young age, my family would regularly gather around the screen to relive past experiences. The sound of the Kodak slide projector as it whirred to life and the distinct ker-clicking that would occur when a slide advanced. The fight with my sisters over who would control the remote. The amazing warm tones of the Kodachrome slides projected onto the giant screen. This was the beginning of my photography career.

It is the joy of these memories that provided me with a true appreciation of the importance of photography. Photos bring people together. They evoke emotion. They will take you back in time.

I am an enthusiastic & fun person to be around. I take control and help to provide structure & direction during your wedding day in a fun, polite & friendly manner. You will rarely see me without a smile on my face. Part of the reason I enjoy wedding photography so much is because I accept only 12 wedding commissions per year. This provides me with the opportunity to remain artistic. The photos I take are refreshingly unique and reflect the individualism of your special day.

Understandably, it is sometimes difficult to be in front of the camera - putting you (or your partner) at ease and having a great time is part of what I do.

I shoot weddings for wonderful couples of all ages in Ottawa, Ontario - Canada, as well as destinations abroad.

Capturing these memories with an artistic flare is my passion.


  • “I don't have the words..to express how pleased and delighted I am with your beautiful photos, Doug. They exceeded all of my expectations. "Thank you" doesn't come close to being a big enough way to tell you how happy I am to have this day in the life of my family so beautifully documented. You are so talented -- your technical ability, your artistic eye, and the way you are able to put people at ease. These photos will always be one of my most treasured possessions.”
