Hey there! I am Graeme, I am an Ontario-based photographer currently living in Waterloo.
I grew up in and around Dufferin Ontario and as I result, I love all things outdoors, camping, hiking, and skiing and am an absolute sucker for all things water, sitting lakeside, by a river or at the bottom of a waterfall is where I feel the most peaceful and alive!
That is how I found photography, at the age of 20 I fell in love with capturing the beautiful world as I saw it.
Through photography, I learned every person has a unique view of the world and the beautiful people and places that can be found on it. That is why I love photography; it allows me to freeze time and really appreciate those beautiful moments between people and share my unique perspective with the world.
I want to create art for my couples and see myself as a collaborator. Creating beautiful photos with the help of every couple and landscape I collaborate with fuels my soul. I am here as an artist ready to tell your story, so let’s make some art together.
I discovered my passion for photography relatively late in life, but the timing couldn't have been more perfect for me to immerse myself fully in this craft. It was during the pandemic that I took the opportunity to make up for lost time, dusting off my Canon Rebel t7i that had been neglected on a shelf for years. Little did I know that this decision would unleash a world of creativity, and I found myself capturing images beyond my wildest imagination.
Growing up, I was always drawn to the great outdoors, always swimming, biking, and camping. It was a natural progression for me to combine my love for nature with photography, and that's when my true journey began. What fascinated me the most was the profound ability of photography to capture people, conveying their unique emotions and elegance. Each person sees something different in the images I capture, and that is the beauty of perspective. It allows us to delve into one another's minds, share viewpoints, and gain valuable insights.
Photographing individuals in outdoor settings truly brings me to life. The transformative power of nature, with its restorative effects, sense of freedom, and endless exploration, dissolves insecurities and empowers the couples I work with to relax and be their authentic selves in front of the camera. It is in these genuine moments that I strive to capture their beautiful connection and freeze these moments in time to be enjoyed forever.
The ever-changing landscape of our world and the constant evolution of individuals and relationships ensures that there is always something new to learn, see, and photograph. This fills me with a deep sense of gratitude, knowing that there is still a lot of photos in my future and stories to unfold.
As a photographer, I consider myself not only a creator but also a collaborator and artist. I value the integral role that the individuals in front of my lens play in shaping the outcome. Prior to each shoot, I engage in meaningful conversations about artistic alignment, ensuring that we are all on the same page and share a clear vision making the creative process for all of us a fun exciting journey.
I consider myself incredibly fortunate to have discovered photography and started on this incredible journey of self-expression. It allows me to blend my profound love for the great outdoors, the art of storytelling, and the sheer joy of capturing cherished memories. I look forward to collaborating and creating with you.
