How would you describe your style?

Our style is a mix of two distinct genres of photography that with years of experience under our belt we have created a beautiful balance of; documentary wedding photography allows us to be as unobtrusive as possible during events, focusing on organic moments and bringing your stories to life through candid captures.

We have a deep love for editorial photography as well, so we appreciate a more structured scene if you want to feel glamorous and chic through thoughtful composition, posing, and lighting. Ultimately, at Rosewood Studios we work to your unique comfort level in a way that feels authentic to you while pulling from these two styles.

3 photographers that’s great, but how does it work?

If you’ve read our about page you know that we’re a small team of 3 based in Toronto— Stef, Hannah, & Ethan. What’s great about 3 people is that if anything were to happen, and one of us unexpectedly can’t make it, we have someone readily available to jump in on a moments notice without disrupting your big day.

We are also all long time friends who have been side by side wedding photographers for years, so we mesh together really well, and know that our work and our approach to shooting is consistent among all 3 of us.

With that said, our base wedding photography coverage includes one photographer with the option to add a second shooter if your day needs additional support, and even a third photographer if your plans call for it.

What’s the process like for receiving photos?

A few days after your wedding, we send a small preview so you can have something to swoon over in the coming weeks, and to share with family and friends who are certainly excited to see how beautiful you look.

Our turnaround for your completed wedding photos is 4-6 weeks and will be made available via a private online gallery where you can view, share, and download. All of our images are provided in high-resolution which is perfect for making your own prints.

Let’s talk money: what’s the payment breakdown?

For bookings 4hrs or less we do two 50/50 instalments; half due as a non-refundable retainer to secure your date, and the remaining balance due 4 weeks after your wedding.

For bookings 5hrs or more we do three instalments; $900 non-refundable retainer to secure your date, 50% of your balance due 4 weeks before your wedding, and the remaining balance (with any additional hours or optional extras) due 4 weeks after your wedding.

E-Transfer is our preferred method of payment. We also accept all major credit cards (Visa, MasterCard, Amex) and PayPal.

We do not offer tax free discounts for cash payments. Unfortunately wedding photography is not considered an applicable service for status / tax-exempt cards, whether on or off a rez.

Are there any additional fees for travel?

Our complimentary travel range is 80km round trip from Toronto, with travel thereafter charged at $0.80/km.

For example: Gravenhurst, ON is 328km round trip from our home base, meaning 248km will be subject to travel fees (248km x $0.80/km), for an additional $198.40.

For international events we have an all inclusive destination wedding photography package— with coverage, travel, and accommodations included— to simplify the process as much as possible. With that said, we are completely open to customizing a package that best suits your destination and your celebrations— let’s chat about it!

Take a peek at our TRAVEL NOTICE page to see where we are visiting throughout the year. If listed, we will be accepting weddings and smaller sessions in that location with no additional airfare and/or accommodation fees.

How does an engagement session work?

We absolutely love engagement sessions and strongly encourage shooting them as getting to spend a little more time with you before your wedding day will help you feel more comfortable and confident in front of the cameras with us. Plus, you’ll end up with more photos of the two of you just celebrating with each other during this crazy time of wedding planning. Honestly, it’s a win-win for everyone which is why we offer a discounted session if you are booking a wedding package.

Engagement sessions can be shot anytime up to 2 months before your wedding, last up to 1.5hrs, and include as many outfit changes as you can fit into that time (people typically go with a formal + informal clothing option, but really it’s up to you!) They can happen anywhere meaningful to you— at home, where you had your first date, at your favourite park— or simply a location that photographs beautifully and fits your vibe. We’re always happy to help if you feel stuck on where to go and what to do.

Your photos will be ready in 1-2 weeks and shared in a private online gallery.

Talk nerdy to me: what are you shooting with?

Digital: Canon 5DMKIV, Nikon Z6 II, 50mm f/1.4, 24-70mm f/1.4, 24-104mm f/2.8, SB700, 430EXII, Fujifilm X100V, Fujifilm Xt30II, MagMod Sphere, and growing.

Film: Although we don’t officially shoot film wedding photography full time* we all have an assortment of film cameras that we use leisurely: Hasselblad 500c, Mamiya 645, Rollei B35, Minox 35, Contax G1, Minolta SRT 200 & 201, and more often than not shooting on Kodak Portra 400 or 800, and sometimes Fuji Velvia 100.

We all operate on Mac computers always always always backing up our work onto external hard drives and 2 cloud storage systems.

*We’re slowly starting to incorporate 35mm and 120mm film more and more, and while we don’t have any set packages for film photography (yet), if you’re interested in this please just ask :)

Share a fun fact about yourselves!

Stef loves disco music and absolutely has to sing out loud if she hears a song that she knows (and she’s not a good singer…)

Ethan has broken both wrists + his femur + his kneecap while biking (the last 2 at the same time, think: man on bike vs. tree). You can see more of Stef & Ethan’s personal and editorial work here.

Hannah has a secret human superpower that was handed down to her from her mom— her eyes don’t water when she’s cutting raw onions. You can see more of Hannah’s personal and documentary work here.

Can you share a photo of your dogs?

This is probably the most important question! Here are the dog loves of our lives, Blue & Peach (L) & Razzie (R). Don’t hesitate to ask for more photos if it better informs your decision about us working together ;)

Bonus content for making it this far down:

You know how they say that best friends don’t have very many photos together? That’s all too true for us— and kind of ironic considering we’re professional photographers— so here are the only other 4 photos of Rosewood Studios all together that exist in the world:

Top left, 2012-ish: Possibly skipping class? Definitely walking to the Burger King across the street from our school campus lol. Taken by our friend Lane.

Top right, 2016: Our first (and for… 4 whole years, the only) formal photo together. Taken in Greece by Hannah’s husband, Yiannis.

Bottom left, 2019: A not so great photo of us at Hannah’s wedding in 2019. Taken by unknown, possibly her husband? After so many gin & sodas none of us can remember haha.

Bottom right, 2023: At a wedding we were all working! Look at us remembering to take our own photo :’)
