Great Photographer

We did our engagement and wedding photos with Louis and he was great. We are not the most natural people to pose for photos so the engagement session was good practice and Louis casually coached us through it. He was able to capture beautiful candid moments in the ‘magic’ sunset hours.

On the big day, he was there from the morning at the hotel until dancing. Him and Corinne were very easy to work with and accommodating with the busy schedule. Louis also captured short videos throughout the day and it was a surprise bonus to have a compilation of videos and photographs to remember the day. His pricing and turn over time was very reasonable and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a photographer.

Creativity, professionalism and value

We are ridiculously pleased with the entire experience and results! Right from our initial contact with Louis thing were great. He was responsive, wanted our ideas, and wanted to give us his best along the full journey. We hired Louis for engagement pics, wedding pics and a wedding video.We didn’t tell him, but we think he undercharged!

Louis expressed and provided creative solutions to our ideas. The pics were great! We wanted a candid and genuine capture of the moments that made up our wedding experience special… and that is what we got. Interactions between all those involved in our special day before, during and after the wedding were caught photographically with a creative sensitivity to each moment.

The video he provided summed-up what we all lived as we lived it. This was an option we were originally weren’t going to take but our friends and family convinced us to and were ever so glad we did. We didn’t want an over-produced Hollywood version of the days that surrounded our wedding. What we desired was something honest, true to the moment, and not glorified. This may sound easy enough to create but it really isn’t. We got everything we hoped for.

Great Photographer for your Great Day

Through the lens of Louis’ camera he not only captured the essence of our personality and relationship, but was able to permanently document the love we have for each other, all through spectacular imagery on our special day! We couldn’t have asked for more! He was courteous, considerable and creative. We would definitely recommend him to our friends and family!

We have the best wedding photos I have ever seen thanks to Louis at Ilia studios. When we went to him first for our engagement photos he had previously selected a location for the pictures and always discussed with us what he was planning and asked for our input and what we wanted. We are from Toronto and were getting married in Niagara Falls, he travelled up there before the wedding to find the perfect loctions for our pictures. Once our pictures were done and we were driving to the reception we saw a spot that we liked and he was more than willing to stop so that we could get more pictutes. He is very creative and has amazing ideas for poses! He was very quick getting our pictures back to us after the wedding as well. He is very professional, organized and has fanatsic talent for getting the right shots. I would recommend him to any of my friends and definately use him going forward.

ABSOLUTELY JAW DROPPING!! Louis didn't meet my expectations........ He blew them out of the water. Very friendly personality and never makes you feel rushed. He takes his time with you and will be sure to get the right shot. he is meticulous and careful when it comes to lighting and will truly capture your moments seamlessly. I've already had 5-6 people ask me who took my pictures because they fee like they were right there seeing the events take place. I can't say enough about this budding photographer except hire him before you can no longer afford his quality of work.

Louis Vlachodimitris
Louis Vlachodimitris
Owner and Principal Photographer

I am a Toronto native and have been shooting weddings and lifestyle photography for over 8 years. I am available for weddings worldwide.

I believe candid photography is best for capturing the true essence of each moment. A relaxed and natural approach for portraits helps bring out a persons genuine personality. I capture genuine moments in a beautiful way.

Some random facts: My super power is keeping calm under any circumstances. I have been a photography and art nerd since high school. I have worked in a darkroom. Am dad to a wonderful 18 year old daughter. Live with my awesome partner Corinne, Dragon our tuxedo cat and Mabel the worlds stinkiest lab. I am an animal lover and wildlife photographer and have been published in Nat Geo Canada. I golf often and poorly. I like old things, vintage and antique shops. Cannot say no to sushi, burritos, scotch or red wine. Love watching hilariously awful b-movies with said scotch or wine. Game of Thrones!

I am just a regular easy going person. I am not a fan of stress and genuinely want to help you have an amazing wedding day. Please reach out to me if you want genuine, beautiful photographs and a great experience for you and your guests. I am happy to share my knowledge and let you decide based on my personality, experience and the quality of my work.
