    Choosing Herby for our wedding was the best decision we made. From our first meeting we knew we were in capable hands. On the day of the wedding, Herby was the ultimate professional, he was incredibly reliable, arriving early and staying perfectly in sync with the flow of our day without ever feeling intrusive. When we received our gallery, we were blown away; the photos weren’t just beautiful, they felt like us. If you’re looking for a photographer in Ottawa who is as dependable as he is artistically talented, Herby is the one.”

FAQ

It’s a simple three-step process. First, you can either fill out the contact form above or go to the contact page to get the process started. Second, we’ll have a quick 15-minute discovery call to discuss your vision and date. Finally, a signed contract and a 25% retainer fee will officially secure your spot on my calendar.

Almost everyone feels this way! My process is designed to be low-pressure. Instead of “look here and smile,” I give you small prompts or activities that allow you to interact naturally. By the time we’re ten minutes in, you’ll be focused on each other, not the lens.

As a photographer, I’m used to the elements! Light rain or snow can actually add a beautiful, cinematic layer to your photos. However, if the weather is extreme, we can either pivot to an indoor location or reschedule to a clearer day.

You will receive a “Sneak Peek” gallery within 48 hours of your session. Your full, high-resolution digital gallery is typically delivered within 1-2 weeks for lifestyle sessions and 3–4 weeks for weddings.

Providing professional documentary wedding and lifestyle photography across Ottawa, Gatineau and the surrounding regions. Whether I am capturing your wedding day at a historic downtown venue or a quiet anniversary session in the Arboretum, my goal is to document your most authentic, kinetic moments with reliability and artistic care.
