My approach to your wedding story

My clients are adventurous beings. They aren’t afraid to get their shoes dirty and they aren’t afraid to go against the unwritten rules of a wedding day. For my clients, wedding photography is one of the highest priorities on their day.

I’m a storyteller and adventurous one at that. I place an emphasis on real moments and emotion and love using the Newfoundland landscape as our backdrop. While planning your wedding, I have tons of information on getting the best images, my favorite locations, where to go if it rains, timeline tips, worksheets, vendor recommendations and more!

I approach every wedding with the goal of telling the story of your day. I accomplish this with a photojournalistic and documentary based style, focusing more on candid moments, rather than a series of staged and posed photos. And while I do pose my couples, I never want posing to detract from the day. I view myself as a guest at your wedding and I treat that with the utmost respect.

I’m excited to work with couples from all walks who have a passion for life and each other. I’ve learned a lot since starting out in 2011 and I know that my look isn’t for every couple out there. However, if you’re looking for an exciting, memorable day with uniquely personal photos that stand the test of time, I’d love to travel that wildly fun and creative path with you.

The images created on your wedding will be the lasting, visual memories… Treasures to be poured over for the rest of your lives… Make sure whoever you hire (even if it isn’t me!), sparks your soul when you view their work! When you look at your photos, I want you to be as thrilled as the couples below!

FEATURED WEDDING STORIES

(some of my personal favorites)

Even more info!

I take anywhere from 3000-5000 images at a wedding and deliver around 900-1200 images for full-day coverage. My average turnaround time for the full wedding delivery is four weeks (that’s like, really quick!). I usually try and post a couple of images to my Facebook and Instagram pages within a few days after the wedding so friends and family who couldn’t make it are able to see you two! A $500 retainer is required to book the date, in addition to a signed contract. All prices are subject to HST (15%).

My editing style, as you can gather from the images here, is colorful, clear, and timeless. I don’t want my wedding images to look dated in 5-10 years because I picked a trendy edit at the time. I strongly believe the best way to gauge a photographer’s style is to check out their previous work; not just a series of best-of images, but a solid body of work from multiple weddings. You can check out tons of weddings (in addition to engagement/family/modeling/grad/etc sessions) here www.zachwheeler.ca/featured-work

And as you can probably tell from looking through the website, I love to post images of our clients on my Featured Work page, and Facebook & Instagram accounts. If you don’t want your images posted online, I do offer a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) for an additional fee or would be more than happy to suggest another photographer.

Note I do not photoshop my images. That means I do not perform any body alterations, wrinkle/stain removal, liquifying, retouching, object removal, removing people from photos, adding people to photos, swapping heads, etc. None of my photos on my website or Instagram are photoshopped, so if you like those, you have nothing to worry about 🙂

Zach Wheeler // Photographer

For me, wedding photography has always been about telling the whole story – honoring where people have come from and celebrating where they’re going. More than a wedding day, it’s the start of a marriage. It’s telling your story in my stylish way.
