I have several options for coverage that fits the needs of my clients and the vision that they share... Weekend wedding packages start at $3500 for 8 hours of coverage and includes a pre-wedding consultation, custom photography timeline, 8 hours of wedding day coverage by Kerry, and a minimum of 600 meticulously edited high resolution photographs delivered in a shareable online gallery. Smaller weekday (and last-minute) wedding packages & elopements start at $1500.

All packages have the option to add a second photographer, portrait session, rehearsal dinner coverage, day-after session, and more, to the chosen package. For a more detailed pricing brochure, please contact me and I will be happy to share all of the details.

I live in beautiful Perth, ON; a quick 60 minute drive from downtown Ottawa & Kingston. Don't worry about your wedding being in or near the city... I am quite accustomed to commuting there regularly for weddings and my wedding pricing includes that.

My style is very candid, natural and real. There are several factors that go into my work... When I am photographing, I am not just after the moment... I am chasing the light and am in it for an overall beautiful scene (subject matter, background and light).

I am a fly on the wall for 95% of your wedding day; photographing the beautiful, messy and raw moments as they happen before me. I am always watching... listening... observing... waiting for that moment. The other 5% of your wedding day is composed of me directing you and your guests for family portraits and couples portraits, which I personally believe are equally if not one of the most important things. How many times do you have your loved ones all in the same place, with a professional photographer?

Within five weeks of your wedding, I will send you a download code which gives you full access to your photographs online. In your private-online gallery, you can download, share, and print. The gallery is password-protected and there are no watermarks or logos.

It really depends on the size and duration I am there for. On average, an 8 hour wedding day can expect at minimum 600 high resolution images.

I do not send you any RAW (unedited) photographs – you are hiring me for my creative eye & editing style and trust that I send all the right ones. My comprehensive, quality coverage and experience photographing weddings ensures you leave with a story that speaks for itself.

I send you the contract to be signed electronically through my invoicing program, Sprout Studio (CAD). Once the contract is signed it will automatically take you to the payment section where a $1500.00 retainer is made to secure your date on my calendar, if you are booking a smaller collection, a 50% retainer is made. The remaining balance is due 14 days before the wedding.

I accept E-Transfer (most-preferred), VISA, MasterCard and American Express. Payment installments are available!

In general, I work by myself and feel quite confident doing so.

A solid photographer should be fully capable of covering a wedding all on their own.

Second-photographers are available a la carte and recommended if there is more than 170ish guests or detailed circumstances.

Yes of course - I LOVE providing my clients with gorgeous, thought-out and well-lit family portraits.

These photographs are so important and lets be honest, everyone prints these!

I will help you arrange for them and make them a part of the day that is enjoyable and efficient for everyone involved.

I expect that since you have made it this far on my website, you are probably intrigued by my work! For that reason I strive for clients who appreciate the creativity process it takes in the documentation of weddings, therefore leaving the creative mind up to the photographer hired, and not copying someone else's work.

Honestly... All of my couples tell me they are awkward having their photo taken. Take a deep breath and it will all be okay! I remind my couples of this throughout our time together, and quite frankly these "photo" nerves wear off quite fast once we get going. I will give you direction as needed, while photographing what happens naturally in front of me. You don’t need to be professionals, you just need to be open-minded and remember how much you love one-another.

Yes of course, just ask me when you inquire... I have a handful that my clients have granted me permission to share.

Definitely. Please let me know a couple of months in advance to ensure my insurance company has enough time to process and provide the document.

I use two Mark 5Diii bodies (the cameras) that have two card holders in them, each. This means there is a back-up copy of every photo taken, as soon as I photograph the moment!

Once uploaded onto the external hard drive that I work off of, I back-up the files two more times.

If something tragic was to happen to me before your wedding, a full refund within 5 business days and a list of at least twenty recommended photographers will be provided to you.

If I am badly injured but able to communicate with you, I by all means will do everything in my power to either make it to your wedding or do the above and help you as much as I possibly can in finding a replacement photographer. I am apart of several networking groups online and I am sure the community would step-up in such dire circumstances. With that said, I am not a wimp and have never missed a wedding nor plan to. I have photographed a wedding with the flu and another one with an acute strained leg & ankle. My body takes the beating, not you.

This is a situation that that I have planned for very carefully as it is the professional thing to do, but hope I never have to use.

Yes, please and thank you! I require a meal at dinner to re-charge my batteries after working all-day.

At dinner, I do not have to sit near you to eat, but please do not seat me in a separate room to eat my food... With me sitting in the same room as you or at a table of guests, I am able to capture the mood, laughter, and details that I would not otherwise be able to. Things like mid-course toasts, kisses and laughter will go un-photographed if I am in a separate room for dinner and for me that is a big part to your story!

If for some reason the wedding is cancelled or you need to terminate my services, the $1500 retainer and any monies paid 14 days before the wedding is non-refundable as I will have turned down other couples for your date.

Photography came into my life unexpectedly at a time of travel in 2012. I found my creative outlet for documentary photography on the islands of Bimini, Bahamas where I was volunteering at a shark research station owned by Dr. Gruber of University of Miami. After that I traveled to Maui where I began photographing sunsets and documenting life as it happened. When I returned home, I immersed myself into the local photography community where I was introduced to fine art wedding and portrait photography.

I have had the honour to photograph alongside a handful of highly respected and talented names in the industry. I am deeply passionate about learning and growing as an individual which is why I regularly attend photography conferences, workshops and mentoring sessions to grow as an artist, maintain inspiration, education, and current trends.
