We hired Yani for our wedding and just received our photos back from our engagement shoot and are SO HAPPY! Yani has been so flexible with our ever changing schedule, prompt in his responses, and on the day of our engagement shoot made us feel so comfortable. We are now more excited than ever to have Yani capture our special day. Cannot recommend him enough!!

Yani is a phenomenal photographer! My husband and I are so happy that we picked him and his team for all our events, including our engagement shoot! He took the time to capture each and every moment from all of the wedding events and was clearly enjoying himself while doing it. He is so passionate about his work, super energetic, and fun to work with! We would highly recommend him a million times over!

MEET YOUR PHOTOGRAPHER

I feel so lucky to do what I love every day. Photography has always brought me joy, from taking casual photos of friends and family to turning it into a career where I get to capture people’s most meaningful moments. What I love most is seeing couples genuinely happy when they look back at their photos, because it reminds me why I do this in the first place.

I work with a talented team of photographers and videographers, both male and female, whom I have carefully handpicked and truly value. They capture beautiful moments alongside me or when I am not there, while I always take the lead and handle the final edits to ensure every image meets my high standard of quality before it is delivered to clients.

TORONTO ENGAGEMENT PHOTOGRAPHY FAQs

How would you describe your engagement photography style?

My style blends natural, candid moments with soft, editorial portraits. I focus on capturing genuine connection and creating timeless images that feel relaxed, authentic, and true to you — whether in the heart of Toronto or a quiet outdoor setting.

Will you guide us during the session?

Absolutely. You don’t need to worry about how to pose — I guide you naturally throughout the session so everything feels comfortable and effortless, while still creating beautiful, refined images.

We’ve never done a photoshoot before — is that okay?

Of course. Most couples I work with have never been in front of a camera before. My approach is designed to help you feel at ease so your photos feel natural, not forced.

How long is an engagement session?

Engagement sessions typically start at one hour, depending on the location and vision for your shoot. This allows enough time for a relaxed experience without feeling rushed.

What should we wear for our engagement photos?

I’m happy to guide you with outfit suggestions to match your style and the location. You’re also welcome to share inspiration so we can create a cohesive and elevated look.

Where do engagement sessions take place?

Sessions can take place anywhere in Toronto or across the GTA — from iconic city locations to more natural, scenic environments. I can also suggest locations that fit your vision.

Can we choose the location for our shoot?

Yes. You’re welcome to choose a location that feels meaningful to you, or I can help recommend spots based on the style and atmosphere you’re looking for.

How many photos will we receive?

You’ll receive all edited photos in high resolution, with a focus on quality, consistency, and storytelling throughout your gallery.

How long does it take to receive our photos?

Final galleries are typically delivered within a few weeks, carefully edited to maintain a natural and timeless look.

Do you travel outside Toronto for engagement sessions?

Yes. While I’m based in Toronto, I photograph engagement sessions across the GTA, including Brampton, Mississauga, and surrounding areas.

Can we use these photos for our wedding or announcements?

Absolutely. Engagement photos are perfect for save-the-dates, wedding websites, and announcements, as well as for capturing this stage of your story.

What happens if the weather doesn’t cooperate?

If the weather isn’t ideal, we can reschedule or adjust the plan to ensure you still have a beautiful and comfortable experience.
