Oakville Wedding, Engagement and Portrait Photography by Mike Clarke bio picture

Hello,

I get asked a lot, "Why wedding photography?"

In the past 10 years, there has been such an advancement in photography since the digital era. It's hard to choose which path is right for you.

I also love to interact and meet new people. To me, working with people is the best. A landscape doesn't show emotion like the first kiss does. 

My goal is for you to look back on your pictures years later and know instantly why you were laughing, or what you were thinking about right before you smushed cake into each-others faces.
