For some years now, the trend in Toronto wedding photography has been casual and relaxed photography. We love this approach to wedding photography but, as visual artists using the camera as our medium, we also love designing beautifully composed shots. Regardless of the approach, wedding photography narratives should include some of the important “keystone” photographs from the list below. Of course, the list will change depending on what the Bride and Groom want and the details of their wedding.
