A definitive guide to some of the best Canadian wedding photographers of the year from coast to coast, as chosen by the editors at Weddingbells.

Compiling this list is no easy feat. Each year we receive hundreds of wedding photo submissions from incredibly talented shooters across the country, so pinpointing the nation’s top 30 pros takes a lot of work. Along with sifting through thousands of shots to find the most striking photos that vividly portray the narrative of each special day, we also pay attention to each photographer’s presence beyond his or her creative work. Are they easy to deal with? Active on social media? Do brides regularly comment on their shots and leave positive feedback? All of these things come into play when we select our top picks.

Each of the real weddings we feature online and in print inspires us in some way, but the photographers on this list have elevated wedding photography to a true art form.

Know any great Canadian wedding photographers that aren’t on our list but should be? Have them submit a real wedding to be instantly entered into the running for 2017.
