SCOTT WILLIAMS | PHOTOGRAPHER
“I almost lost my father just over 10 years ago,
so it was extremely important to me to have
father-daughter photos captured on our
wedding day.
For months I had planned to surprise him
with our father-daughter song, ‘Put Down the
Duckie’ from Sesame Street which we used
to sing to each other when I was little.
Scott captured the exact moment my dad
realized what song was playing. I absolutely
love the happy smile on his face that was
captured in a photo I can always look back
on.”

My Approach
Why are you hiring a wedding photographer?
Some fancy pictures of you guys with a vintage bicycle
and some balloons? Or is there a more important reason… moments, family, relationships, story…
a visual record of one of the most important days in your
life?
You see, I’m not actually photographing the wedding
for the two of you. Or even your family, your friends or
your guests. I’m there to document your wedding for
people that don’t exist yet. Your children, and even your
grandchildren, so that 50 years from now you can gather
around the dining room table with your family to look
through your wedding album and they can see the joy
and excitement recorded on your faces as you began
your new life together.
Moments are king. And a moment can happen at
any time, not just the 6 hours you’ve scheduled your
photographer to be there. So for that reason I’ve only
ever offered wedding photography with full day coverage.
I’ll be there to photograph everything from the nervous
anticipation as you both get ready to the outpouring of
emotions as you exchange your vows and finally the fun
as you party into the night.
As I photograph your wedding I pose very little throughout
the day, only the formal pictures. There’s no cookie cutter
approach or working off some shot list… every wedding I
photograph looks and feels different.
My goal at your wedding will to be create a set of images
that show the joy & love you felt on your wedding day as
you were surrounded by your closest family and friends
on one of the most important days in your life.

options, I’m happy to offer the full resolution files as an option.
These are perfect for the DIY bride or anyone who likes the piece
of mind of having the files.

A second photographer is a great option for those weddings that
are spread out geographically or have a bigger guest list.

This is a beautiful set of 4x6 printed proofs in a custom display
box. There is still something to be said for sitting around the
kitchen table with family and friends passing your favourite
photographs around.

and available in a variety of sizes, styles and paper optoins.

Wedding Albums
A wedding album is the best way to showcase and display your wedding images for you and future generations. Albums are future proof,
you don’t need cables, adaptors or power sources... you can simply pick up a wedding ablum and enjoy the pictures.
My wedding albums are custom designed, no two are alike and are hand made using archival materials to ensure they last a lifetime.
UPgrade to Premium Album ($500)
Upgrade your standard album to a premium album
which includes thicker pages and premium binding
and cover options.
Upgrade to premium design ($500)
Each album starts with 20 spreads but from there we can add
additiaonal spreads to help tell the story of your day and feature
some of your favourite images.
Parent Albums ($500)
Parent albums are smaller versions of the main ablum, made to
the same high standards and finish. They are a great option to
help say thank you to your parents for all their help.
Each parent album is 8x8 and includes the same number of
spreads as the feature album.
“When John and I were planning our
ceremony we found a reading called “All I
Ever Really Needed to Know I Learned in
Kindergarten”.
The minute I read it I knew that I wanted my
friend Mark to read it….the only person I still
keep in touch with from my
kindergarten class. My friendship with Mark
is one of those where we can go for months
of not talking as Mark travels the world, and
the moment we reconnect it’s like no time
has passed.
We weren’t sure if he would make it to the
wedding, and in true “Mark” fashion he flew
in at the last minute. These two men mean
so much to me, and I love that Scott was
able to capture such a wonderful moment
of the three of us.”

Engagement Sessions
A pre-wedding engagement session is a great oppourtinity for all of usto get to know each other and get some pictures in a pressure-free situation.
My favourite sessions are the ones that incorporate something unique about the couple... the location where he proposed, a favourite activity or a favourite
restaraunt.
Engagement Session ($250)
Engagement Guest Book ($500)
A 3 hour session at the location of your choice anywhere in the
southern Ontario. The session price includes the low resolution
digital files and online proofing gallery.

Upgrade the low resoltion files to the full resoltion copies.
A set of printed archival 4x6 proofs presented in a custom display
box.
“Choosing just one favourite photograph by
Scott was really, really hard. Each one stirs up
a different reaction, a different memory of our
wedding day.
It was an absolutely perfect day, which is just
what Scott captured. Though I was
expecting at least SOME tears of happiness,
my eyes were dry the day of. It wasn’t until our
photo viewing with Scott that I welled up–as a
result of this picture.
Scott so perfectly captured my dad in this
photograph. Instantly upon seeing his image, I
could see what my dad wasn’t able to put into
words about how he was feeling that day. As
the family photographer, my dad is so rarely on
the other side of the lens, and I love how he is
the focus here.”

Little Details
All prices are subject to HST.
A signed contract and retainer payment is requied.
The payment schedule is 50% due with the contract, 25% due 90 days before the wedding and 25% upon delivery of the proofs.
Cash, cheque or Email Money Transfer are accepted.
How would you describe your style?
I would describe myself as a wedding photojournalist with a strong
sense of compostion. My ultimate goal at each wedding is to provide
you with a set of edited images that tell the complete story of your
wedding day for future generations to enjoy.
Do you take any posed pictures?
Absolutely. I love family and think the family pictures are some of the
most important pictures of the day. Of course, we'll also get some
cool pictures of you guys and your wedding party.
Do you photoshop all your images?
My style lends itself to images that have very clean colors and tones.
The only time I use photoshop is for minor retouching of portraits.
Are you available for travel?
Absolutely! I live in a small town but spend most of the time
photographing weddings in Toronto and the rest of Ontario.
I’m also available for travel Canada wide (at an additional cost).
Is full day coverge really the entire day?
Yes. I usually start with the bride’s hair & makeup and finish
at the end of the reception.
What if you 're sick?
I’ve been photographing weddings for 8 years and I’ve yet to miss a
wedding. Having said that, life happens and I think it’s best to be
prepared. If I can’t be there to photograph your wedding, I have a
network of other photographers who I can call to take my place.
About Me
I sometimes joke that I’m a full time stay at home dad and a part time photographer, but that’s actally
probably pretty accurate. My world revolves around my wife and our 3 kids (we’re expecting our 4th!)
Family is everything to me and I try to show that in my wedding photography. I’m probably one of the few
photographers who actually enjoys taking the family formals since I know how important those pictures will
be in years to come.
I’m a relative late bloomer to photography. I wasn’t the kid who’s dad gave him a camera at 5 or shot for the
school newspaper. But since then I’ve been making up for lost time, studying at some of the best
photography workshops in the world… Foundation Workshop, Mountain Workshop, Magnum Photography,
Cliff Mautner and David A. Williams.
Something must have clicked since my images have won numerous awards at Fearless Photographers, ISPWP
and the WPJA and I’ve been published in magazines like Wedding Bells.
