Our style is capturing genuine moments with an artistic flare by using a strong understanding of both light and direction. We chose Dave because we wanted to work with someone with experience, and the artistic eye, to capture the best moments of our wedding day. From his portfolio I had no doubt that his work would be beautiful and professional.
What I didn't know was that he would play such an important role on our wedding day - between the chaos that were the bridesmaids and groomsmen and families and friends, Dave was the calm fairy godfather that basically saved the day multiple times (my veil flew into the wind, my dress ripped, my white heels dug into the mud - Dave was there to fix everything!)

Dave Abreu is an award-winning Canadian photographer whose art crosses cultural borders. Inspired by diverse people and places, his photography brings a journalistic and cinematic insight to his subjects, their environments and stories.
Dave, however, neither limits his projects to specific parts of the world nor to a single medium: His work with paint and canvas has honed his photographic sense, and in embracing photography, he brings to that art a keen eye for unique textures, whether his subjects are natural landscapes, historic edifices or people.

5/5! HANDS DOWN!!!
What a guy DAVE! We hired Dave for our wedding originally planned in July 2020, after countless date shifts, venue changes and hours of panic planning, we were able to have Dave capture our special day in the end.
Dave continued to work with us through all the challenges we faced planning a wedding in a pandemic. He brainstormed ideas with us, helped us come up with creative solutions and did it all so genuinely.
You will never meet a more genuine photographer/person to capture your special moment as Dave. We are so lucky to have hired Dave.
We heard horror stories of other

You can see Dave’s display of work, and frankly, it speaks for itself. He has an incredible talent that brings out the best of his clients in his photos, and he makes it look completely natural. To top it all off, he is a remarkable person. There was an instant friendship as soon as we met Dave.
Ladies, the person you will spend the most time with during your wedding week will be your photographer. I didn’t realize this until the actual wedding. So it’s of the utmost importance that he/she is cool, calm and collected, cause chances are you won’t be. Dave treated us more like his friends

Dave was the first vendor we booked for our wedding. We were attracted to him for ability to capture the couple but also highlight the background landscape in an artistic way. He is so talented. He can make an average backdrop look spectacular. Most impressive is his knowledge on Indian weddings - he gave us so many pointers throughout the day about the ceremony and attire. Dave and his assistant Kate and photographers Mel and Chelsea were all around very friendly, professional, responsive, and clear. Kate created beautiful guestbook for us. During the wedding, we were running bit behind schedule

My husband and I met Dave when he was the photographer at my sister’s wedding about 5 years ago. His photos were so amazing and he was such a sweet person that we knew we were going to book him for our wedding which was just 3 weeks ago!
He was definitely one of our favourite wedding vendors that we booked. He was with me the whole wedding day and not only took amazing photos, but helped the day run smooth and keep us on schedule and feel comfortable the whole day. He gave us tips Before the ceremony about how to position ourselves to help him capture the best memories.

From the moment I met Dave, I could tell that his artistic talent had to be apart of my special day. His genuine personality and warm nature made both my husband and I comfortable at both of our engagement shoots and wedding! Dave is so attentive to detail and didn't leave my side the whole wedding day. He is extremely personable and has a patient disposition. I couldn't imagine having anyone else capture my wedding day! I would highly recommend Dave to all brides and grooms. Thank you so much for all your hard work! xoxo Taryn and Ryan

I met Dave Abreu almost ten years ago when I assisted my wedding planner friend at a wedding. I absolutely loved Dave as a person and joked that when I marry someday, I would love to work with him even when had not seen his work product.
Four years ago, he was the photographer at one of my best friends' wedding and I saw his work product after her wedding. I was truly impressed.
When I got engaged in February 2017, he was one of the first vendors I contacted and so happy that he was available for our December 2017 wedding. My husband and I interviewed a few other photographers just to make sure

Dave was the photographer at my sister's wedding and she said going with him was the best decision she made for her wedding. Dave is professional, flexible, and extremely passionate about what he does. He goes above and beyond for his clients to not only capture the perfect shots, but to make sure everyone feels comfortable and ensure everyone is having fun. We received a glimpse of some of the photographs on the wedding day and were completely blown away. Dave has a special talent for capturing beauty and emotion in very shot. I would recommend Dave to everyone. Thank you Dave for all of your

Hands down – the best vendor I booked for my wedding day. Dave and his crew were worth every penny spent!
I was blown away with Dave and his team from the moment I stepped foot into his office. Not only was Dave professional in all his dealings, but more importantly he is personable and friendly which made him so easy to get along with and an absolute pleasure to work with from beginning to end.
In terms of his work – it speaks for itself. Dave is INSANLEY TALENTED. My husband and I were truly blown away with the photos taken from our wedding. Dave does it all, he captures those very creative
