I’m the principal photographer at Iris & Grain, Canada’s newest home for timeless, heirloom editorial style wedding photography. I’m so glad you found your way here. If you’re drawn to images that feel emotional, cinematic, with a hint of old Hollywood, we might be a perfect fit.

I work in an editorial style shaped by my 20+ years of photographing weddings, fashion, advertising, and magazine work.  My approach is spontaneous, in the moment, with a filmic, old-Hollywood softness woven through the colour palate. As the day unfolds, I lean into a playful, paparazzi-at-the-party energy, capturing spontaneous moments as they happen. Think 1960s Vanity Fair party.  The result is a collection of images that feel both contemporary and timeless.

At Iris & Grain, we tell the story of your wedding day through images that feel alive, timeless, and unmistakably yours.
