Hello, I am Dzesika. It’s nice to meet you.

Hello, I am Dzesika. It’s nice to meet you.

I am a photographer, and have been for 18+ years.
I am truly obsessed with taking photos. It has created a tremendous life experience for me.

Some of my best friends were originally people who found me online and hired me to shoot their wedding.

If I’m not shooting a wedding, I’m out photographing on the street, meeting and striking up conversations with strangers.

In the evenings, I watch movies to study cinematography in order to help hone my craft.

Photography has turned out to be just as much about building human connections as it is about making photographs.

It is such a privilege to have you consider me photograph such an important life event for you.
I want you to know how serious I take this responsibility, and how much I love this experience.

My collection is a-la-carte for the sake of simplicity, and total customization.

I focus primarily on coverage, artistic results and collaboration between you and me.

All prices include HST.
If you would like to pay via credit card, it is +2.9% fee, otherwise I accept e-transfer or cash at the prices listed below.
