HI, I’M TATIANA

Photographs for the Joy You Feel

and the Moments You Didn’t See

My approach is calm, thoughtful, and deeply personal. I take time to understand what matters most to you, prepare carefully, and create space for your wedding day to unfold without unnecessary pressure.

YOU DON’T NEED TO KNOW HOW TO POSE

Be Present.

I’ll Guide the Rest.

Most couples are not used to being photographed and feel unsure at first. You won’t be expected to arrive knowing how to pose.

I’ll help with posture, hand placement, movement, and flattering positioning, using simple prompts that keep the focus on each other rather than the camera.

Once you feel comfortable and the interaction becomes real, I give you space and capture what happens naturally.

CLEAR DIRECTION

Practical guidance for posture, hands, movement, and positioning.

NATURAL PROMPTS

Simple actions that create genuine interaction instead of stiff poses.

ROOM TO CONNECT

Once the moment feels real, I step back and let you focus on each other.

NATURAL & POLISHED

Carefully composed portraits that still feel relaxed, honest, and like you.

Complimentary engagement session

included with wedding collections of six hours or more.

THOUGHTFUL PREPARATION

A Photography Timeline

Built Around Your Day

Before booking, we’ll talk through your wedding-day plans, locations, travel time, and the moments you want documented. I’ll help you understand whether the coverage you’re considering realistically fits everything you have planned.

After booking, you’ll receive a detailed wedding questionnaire, and we’ll continue refining the photography timeline by email or phone. This helps us prepare for your first look, ceremony, family photographs, couple portraits, reception, and any moments that matter most to you.

COVERAGE GUIDANCE

Honest recommendations based on your actual plans, locations, and priorities — so you choose enough coverage without paying for time you do not need.

TIMELINE REVIEW

We review the flow of the day, including getting ready, first look, ceremony, portraits, reception events, and travel between locations.

DETAILED QUESTIONNAIRE

Your schedule, family combinations, important relationships, traditions, and must-have moments are collected in advance.

EARLY ARRIVAL

I arrive ahead of the scheduled coverage time to get settled, prepare my equipment, and begin the day calmly.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Everything You May Be Wondering

Here are answers to the most common questions about working together.
If you don’t see yours here, I’m happy to help.

What happens if it rains?

I keep a close eye on the forecast and prepare a flexible backup plan in advance. Depending on your venue and timeline, we can adjust portrait timing, use covered locations, or work with the weather. Rain does not have to take away from beautiful photographs.

Do you help with posing?

Yes. Most couples are not used to being photographed, so I provide clear, simple guidance throughout the day. I’ll help with posture, hand placement, movement, and flattering positioning while keeping everything natural and comfortable.

How many photos will we receive?

The number of photographs depends on the collection and length of coverage you choose. My wedding collections typically include a minimum of 400 to 600 professionally edited high-resolution images.

You’ll receive a selection of sneak peeks within 24–48 hours after your wedding. Your full edited gallery will be delivered within the timeframe outlined in your agreement, usually within up to two months.

Do you photograph family groupings?

Absolutely. Before the wedding, I’ll ask you to provide a list of the family combinations that matter most to you. I’ll organize them in a practical order so the process stays efficient, relaxed, and does not take too much time away from the celebration.

Should we add a second photographer?

A second photographer can be helpful for larger weddings, separate getting-ready locations, multiple venues, tight timelines, or important moments happening at the same time. I’ll help you decide whether one would be useful for your specific plans.

Do you travel outside Ottawa and Gatineau?

Yes. I’m available for weddings outside Ottawa and Gatineau. Travel fees may apply depending on the location, distance, and schedule, and I’ll confirm all details before booking.

How do we reserve our date?

Your date is officially reserved once the agreement is signed and the 50% non-refundable retainer is received. Until both are completed, the date remains available to other couples.
