A Documentary Wedding Photographer With A Kind Heart And Adventurous Spirit

Hi there! I’m Shawn, an Ottawa-based wedding photographer with a passion for telling love stories through authentic, natural photos that last a lifetime. 

My approach combines documentary wedding photography with a cinematic eye that captures all the important moments with editorial style and artistry. I use natural lighting and spontaneous moments of joyful celebration to create honest, organic photos that preserve the emotion and magic of your wedding day.

At the heart of my wedding photography is an ethos of compassion and kindness. It's important that I understand who you are so that I can see what’s truly special about you and your partner.

In my years as an Ottawa wedding photographer, I’ve learned that the key to great wedding photos is noticing the little things — those happy moments of shared laughter, and those special looks exchanged by two people who are completely in sync with one another.

These moments can only happen naturally — that’s why I strive to create a comfortable, calm atmosphere when I’m your photographer, so you can just be yourselves and have a wonderful experience!

A few facts you should know about me:

  • Music is a constant companion in my life. If there isn’t music playing at all times in my home, something feels off to me!

  • I used to be a touring singer-songwriter! This took me all around the world: Germany, Norway, Argentina and New Zealand.

  • Travel is one of my top priorities in life! Getting to experience new cultures, landscapes, and people is one of my greatest passions and I’m always looking for the next adventure!

  • The perfect day for me consists of taking photos, writing music, meditating, going on a hike, catching up with friends and wrapping up the day with an evening walk with Claire.

  • I spend a portion of my winters as an expedition guide in Antarctica taking tourists on guided hikes, leading zodiac boat explorations, gazing at whales, and laughing at penguins

  • I believe the key to happiness is to never stop learning and to always be willing to try something new.

  • My music taste ranges from fiery and epic to calm and contemplative — and everything in between! Artists that are always in high rotation for me include Gregory Alan Isakov, Ben Howard, Phoebe Bridgers, Novo Amor, Bon Iver, Daughter, Olafur Arnalds, Nils Frahm, Tame Impala, Parcels and Roosevelt.
