Born and raised in the tropical paradise of Sri Lanka, Arjuna Kodisinghe
has been shooting for close to 15 years.
Now living in the beautiful city of Calgary, Alberta with his wife and the
two boys, he started his photography career as a commercial stock
photographer but soon realized that capturing people's emotions,
one-of-a-kind moments and story-telling portraits are much more satisfying
than technically perfect commercial photos.
While he still enjoys the
technical side of photography, the best part of shooting a wedding for him
is to connect with his clients through creative photography and turn those
moments to life long memories. Wedding photography gives Arjuna the
opportunity to capture not only the unforgettable events as they unfold
throughout the day but also dramatic portraits of the couple's love story. |

Jérémie Perron Filisofik studio
(Trois-Rivieres, QC)
Hi all, thanks for reading me! My photographer career started the same way
as so many things in my life. With a heartbeat. Didn't think, didn't
planned, I just did it. No school, only Google, some books and a great
desire to learn a way that would allow me to communicate the way I see the
world. When people hire me, that's what they obtain: the way I see them. I
am a witness. A witness of relation, a witness of joy, a witness of love.
It's no surprise I kinda fell in love with all my clients. Sharing the
moment with them is the only way I can do it.
I founded Filisofik studio in
2010 and have started working as a full time photographer since 2014 with a
desire to give more than what I receive. It didn't worked. I always
received more. I love being a souvenirs hunter, especially for all the
people I have been able to meet because of this career.

Robin Zhang F29 Studio
(Toronto, ON)
Internationally acclaimed award winning photographer including Fearless
Award, and PWPC Award. Also the owner of F29 Studio.
F29 Studio is a group of passionate, award-winning wedding photographers
and cinematographers based in Toronto, ON. Not only have we
won multiple wedding photography contest awards both in Canada and
internationally, but we also LOVE what we do: creating unique still and
video images of the most important event of your life -- your wedding
celebration.
Our energy and enthusiasm are second to none. We don't consider photography
or videography just a job -- rather it's part of our life. We believe in
doing more than just capturing moments... we craft a story of love,
laughter, tears and meaning.
We're friendly, patient, respectful, and responsible--and we're great
listeners too. The more we know about you, the better we can tailor your
visual story to match your taste and personality. We REFUSE to do
cookie-cutter wedding photography or videography on your once-in-a-lifetime
day!
