Had the pleasure of working with Andrea on a few weddings and I can't stress enough her professionalism and attention to detail. Her photography is by far one of the best I have ever seen. Highly recommend her services. You won't be disappointed! xo

Maurizio & Ruth Married May 31st 2003

Fifteen years ago today As It Happens Photography took pictures at our wedding. Andrea, our photographer was a huge part in making our day complete. Through pictures she told a story of our wedding day, including our love for one another and our family & friends. From the moment we met her, til the end of our wedding day and through the process of choosing our pictures she was respectful, polite and fun. She made us smile, feel comfortable and helped us to enjoy our special day. Our guests remarked many times on what a wonderful photographer we had, they are still today enjoying the pictures she took as they have them framed around their houses. Each year that has passed we open up our album to reflect on our special day, we can't help but think of Andrea. She wasn't just our photographer, she was a special person who became part of the most amazing day of our lives. Our pictures are of great quality, they show who we truly are. From the picture of my cracker box, to the family dog, our out of town guests, the details of our outfits, our decorations, Andrea captured it all. She has kept alive for us every detail of our special day.
It was so nice to speak with Andrea today. Since our family has become complete with our 4 beautiful boys we knew we would want Andrea to be our photographer for our family photo. Looking forward to meeting up again with Andrea this year. She simply is one of a kind. Maurizio & Ruth Corradi

Andrea, from As It Happens Photography, is a professional in every sense of the word. She beautifully captured my wedding ceremony at Coach House Weddings this past May. She knows how to stage wonderful photos and when to get great candid shots. We are more than satisfied with her work and highly recommend her.

My wedding in Cuba was a wonderful experience. We met with Andrea and John regarding the wedding ceremony in Toronto and then in Cuba. It was so nice to bring them both to Cuba with us which made our ceremony there less stressful. Andrea helped with setting up the outside ceremony so it looked perfect. They both found picturesque locations for photos. They are a great team. It was nice to get to know them better and I recommend them both to everyone. Thanks Andrea and John. You are the best!

As our wedding approached and the arrangements were beginning to unfold, my fiancé and I were uncertain about many finer details of our wedding. We had reached out to several photographer's provided by friends, but after meeting with Andrea at her studio the ease in which she handled our wedding like if it was her own was the deciding factor for my fiancé. We did not hesitate then to reserve Andrea as our photographer.

Her work speaks volumes for itself. After seeing the quality and ideas she has done with past clients both from engagement pictures to their actual wedding, our decision was affirmed to entrust her with capturing of our memories. As our journey began with Andrea, starting with our engagement pictures and wanting to see her ideas of what we were going to do, we met up at the local train station (this is where my fiancé and I had met) the excitement mounted towards what the day would bring. We were thrilled! The passion Andrea exerted to provide the highest quality results speaks volumes for her professionalism and commitment.

Our friendship with Andrea continued to grow over the following months as preparations for the wedding were finalized. We remained confident in Andrea's ability due to her reputation and credentials in the photography world. As events unfolded on the day of our wedding October 19th 2013, with weather (rain) being a big part in how Andrea gracefully and discreetly captured every moment of the festivities. She applied her knowledge, equipment, talents, but most of all her creativity to provide the highest possible quality.

My wife and I are always reminded of the greatest wedding gift we received every time we see ourselves on the happiest day of our lives in the most magnificent, visual display of our memories that Andrea masterfully created.
