“A good wedding photograph will reignite the feeling that it records. 
It will trigger the other senses; 
make you recall the sounds or the smells. 
Couples say that the day goes by in a blur, 
it’s our role as the photographer to bring things back into focus.”
- Lisa Devlin






"The velvet hand...the hawk's eye." 
- Henri Cartier-Bresson

Editorial Style


I am a natural light, candid and cinematic/documentary Photographer.
I photograph within Canada.
Fiercely carefree, curious and interested in everything and everyone.
I shoot digital with various cameras - (mostly) little and (sometimes) big guns. 
(See my thoughts about camera-equipment-tools at the very bottom)
I prefer to shoot early morning or late afternoon when sun is lower.
I love to shoot outdoors or in a room filled with natural light.
Beach, Streets, Gardens - Urban or Countryside. You decide!

My hourly fee is $125 - $200 (within 1 hour of my studio in Barrie, Ontario)
I will travel anywhere in the Canada. (this is an additional fee)
My magazine-inspired shoots include my pre-planning, producing, time and talent 
PLUS my post-production | digital tech expertise.
I retain copyright of my work.  
A Print Release will be given to you so you may make prints/share your images.
A model and/or location release may be required.

I photograph weddings within Canada.
Travel Expense & Accommodation are an additional fee.

The remainder is due within 3 days after your shoot date. 
Approximately 2 weeks before your wedding shoot we will finalize the 'Run Sheet' (a list of specific photographs you would like taken)

Family Gatherings

One of my missions is to increase awareness about 'The Photographer as an Artist'. Like all other Artists, a Photographer has a gift to see things others may not. To have a point of view and a talent for capturing life's moments.  The Photographer will unveil the story and give the viewer a narrative. The size of a Photographer's camera or the amount of money they have spent (loans - credit - cash) on their equipment, accessories and toolbox does not always equal magnificent work.  What counts is the art; the eye. 

I have stood beside wedding guests who are taking snapshots with $10,000 cameras while I create with a $250 compact pro camera or pro mobile phone.  I have never been disappointed (nor have my Clients) by the outcome of the images. 

As a natural-light, candid, cinematic/documentary style image maker, I promise you my best talent. 

I currently shoot with a camera that, in my opinion, is a giant in imagery output.  I proudly selected the exceptional Pentax K-1 Mark II.  One of my first loves as a teenager was a Pentax 35mm film camera.  The love affair continues today.

If you long to be a Photographer but are lacking confidence or are embarrassed by your toolbox, I urge you to get going. Don't wait. Get busy shooting. Photography is a verb. (and an art)

Finding the Light,
Patti
