Toronto Wedding Reception Photography

Dancefloor magic, heartfelt toasts, and cake chaos.

I aim to capture the full spectrum: the emotional impact of the toasts, the candid interactions between your favourite people, and the pure release of joy as the celebration gets going. It’s about preserving that spirit

RECEPTIONS

8 Wedding Reception Photography Tips

1. Let Loose on the Dance Floor
The reception is where the real fun happens! Don’t hold back on the dance floor. Let your energy and excitement shine through for some truly epic action shots.

2. Interact with Your Guests
Some of the most meaningful reception photos happen when you're interacting with your friends and family. Whether you're laughing, chatting, or sharing a special moment, these candid shots are gold.

3. Enjoy the Food and Drinks
It’s your big day, so savor every bite and sip! Natural moments of you enjoying the food and drinks can make for relaxed, candid photos that truly capture the joy of the day.

4. Don’t Forget to Take a Breather
The reception can be overwhelming, so take a moment to step away from the crowd, breathe, and soak it all in. These quiet moments can make for stunning, intimate photos.

5. Be Playful with the Decor
Your reception decor is part of the celebration. Play with it! Pose with your flowers, interact with the centerpiece, or even have a fun moment with your cake. These shots highlight the personal touches you’ve added to your special day.

6. Capture the Little Moments Between You Two
The reception is the perfect time for some relaxed, intimate moments between you and your partner. A quiet glance, a kiss, or a spontaneous laugh can all be captured for beautiful, emotional photos.

7. Take Time for Group Shots
Group photos are a classic reception staple. Take a few moments to gather your closest family and friends for a group shot. These will be cherished memories for years to come.

8. Don’t Forget the Exit Shot
Plan for a memorable exit shot. Whether it’s a grand sparkler send-off, a classic car departure, or something more unique, having a special exit moment captured will wrap up your wedding day in a spectacular way.
