For me, photography is a powerful way to tell stories, express emotion and document moments. While I’m always striving to create unique, beautiful images, telling stories through photographs is what drives my passion to create. I approach every assignment as a challenge to shape a narrative, express genuine feelings and record both large and small details. I get an overwhelming sense of accomplishment and satisfaction, when my clients tell me how much they love their photos and it drives me to continue to grow as an artist.

Your Wedding
To me, wedding photography is more than capturing a few nice photos of a special day. It's about quickly immersing myself into a couple's closest friends and family, being there for the big important moments and the ones in between to authentically represent not only how those moments looked, but how they FELT. I want you to be able to look back on your wedding photos in 50 years and immediately be transported back into those moments and relive the smiles, laughter, and tears. By being calm, quiet, and unobtrusive, I can capture moments as they happen and by interacting with you and your closest humans, I aim to make every "posed" photo a genuine interaction. Put your trust in a photographer with over a decade of experience, who you feel comfortable with, and who aims to create beautiful, timeless, and authentic images for you to cherish for a lifetime. I can't wait to create photo magic with you.

Wedding Photography Packages
All of my wedding packages include a number of individually post-processed, high-resolution, print-ready JPG files, delivered to you within a beautiful, interactive photo gallery. Your gallery is the easiest way for you to view and share your wedding photos with family and friends. This is also where you can easily download web-size and print-size image files, create a list of your favourites, place a print order or submit a selection of your favourite photos to be included in your wedding album design. Most packages also include a complimentary engagement shoot and a custom-designed wedding album, the perfect keepsake to remind you of all the special moments, details, and emotions.

Inquire today to see a list of wedding packages and book early to ensure your date is available. At booking, we will both sign a contract for our mutual protection and a booking fee will be required to hold your date. For more information about packages, pricing, and available dates, connect with me today. Please include possible dates, locations, and any other important information.

Wedding Albums
I recommend photo albums to all of my clients because I believe they're the most beautiful and accessible way to keep, view, and share your wedding photos. Your book layout will be professionally designed to display your photos in a sequence that effectively communicates the story of your wedding day, while only juxtaposing photos that complement each other.

Your album will be professionally printed and bound in a hardcover, with the cover material of your choice. Options include a variety of colours in linen and eco-leather, as well as black genuine leather. Debossed text on the cover is also available as a finishing touch.

Engagement Photos
I always recommend engagement photos to my clients because it is the perfect practice run for those who are not totally comfortable in front of a camera (which, frankly, is most of us). After a short, fun hour of engagement photos, you’ll feel relaxed and comfortable in front of the camera and by the time your wedding day rolls around, your photos will all feel natural and look beautiful because you’ve had practice. Your engagement session also gives me an opportunity to get to know you and your fiancé(e) a little bit better, which allows me to better create photos that more genuinely represent your personalities. Finally, you’ll get to know me and my working style, so that you will feel more comfortable with the whole process when we work together again on your wedding day. Most of my wedding packages include a complimentary 1-hour engagement session.

Second Photographer
Some couples love the idea of having a second photographer along for the wedding day. This will ensure that every moment of your wedding day is captured and that there are even more beautiful photos to choose from to create the perfect wedding album. The second photographer will be a highly skilled photographer, who will look and act in a polite and professional manner for the length of your wedding day. I quality control and post-process all of my second photographers' images to create cohesiveness among your entire set of images.

Values & Inclusivity
Ben Lariviere Photography has always been and will always be an inclusive space for all. In both my business and in my personal life, I'm committed to always being accepting and respectful to others, including clients, subcontractors, and colleagues, no matter their race, religion, how they identify, or who they love. Discrimination of any kind is unacceptable, including unequal treatment based on age, ethnicity, disabilities, or body type. I stand up to injustice & bigotry and I will only support, partner with, and recommend other businesses who share those same values; including my second photographers, businesses with which I share images and creating teams for styled shoots or other projects. Ben Lariviere Photography is a safe space and all are welcome.
