Who I am…

“IT IS MORE IMPORTANT TO CLICK WITH PEOPLE THAN TO CLICK A SHUTTER”

— alfred eisenstaedt

Hi, I’m Brendan.
A music loving, history admiring, lake jumping 30 something born & raised in a small town called Orangeville Ontario Canada. I am married to my high school sweetheart Katie and together we have two wonderful kiddos. You can usually find us exploring our neighbourhood/ local parks, having lunch on the patio at our local pub, attending Blue Jays games or all sprawled out on the couch watching movies.

Music is a big part of my life and is what made me who I am today. For many years I only inspired to be a musician. I played in a number of bands around the Southern Ontario area, but knew there was a very slim chance of making a career out of it. I started bringing my camera to shows and got great experience shooting in low light, taking portraits of my friends and other musicians. Eventually some of these people got engaged and asked me to shoot their wedding. 

I shot my first wedding in 2012 and after shooting a few more weddings of people that I knew, my work started capturing the attention of people who I have never met. It meant the world to me that people saw and liked my photos and wanted me to be responsible for taking theirs. Fast forward to today, I have documented the stories of so many people and am so thankful to be able to call this passion of mine a career. I am obsessed with documenting the love between two souls and strive to show true emotion in my images. To be that conduit that brings you back to where you were and how you felt on that special day, just like it happened yesterday. So let’s chat over some coffee or wine, and get this amazing wedding of yours dreamed up!
