Your wedding is more than a date on the calendar
It is a story filled with people you love, moments you want to relive, and tiny details that mean everything
At Poetic Stone we create soulful wedding photography and film that feel like you
Real connection real emotion beautifully preserved
At Poetic Stone Studios we serve couples who want a thoughtful balance in how their story is captured.
On one side you want the real unscripted moments of your day documented with care and honesty. At the same time you are dreaming of cinematic portraits of you and your spouse that look incredible but still feel natural and true to who you are.
We bring both together through photography and film so your wedding feels real and looks timeless.
For me, shooting weddings is more than camera settings, cinematic lighting or directing the couple elegantly. My wedding services are fuelled by connecting with my couples and understanding their vision for the wedding day.
My goal is to provide the soft and refined touches with you and your desires in mind. In fact, the most common feedback I get from our couples (besides the quality of the work) is that my team and I help them feel comfortable and at ease on the wedding day.
I value blending in. We minimize our impact on the event while capturing the scripted traditions as well as the “in-between” moments. I also believe in my couples maximizing their time with friends and family while being present.
This is the kind of experience I wish I had at my own wedding, which I now happily provide to my Aperture Lane couples.
We’ve had the pleasure of working with Gabe from Poetic Stone Studios multiple times — for our wedding, our gender reveal, and most recently, our daughter’s first birthday party — and every experience has been fantastic.
Gabe is an absolute professional and such a joy to work with. He makes everyone feel comfortable and natural in front of the camera, which really shines through in his photos. His eye for detail, ability to capture genuine moments, and the care he puts into his work are unmatched.
We completely trust Gabe with our most important family milestones, and his photos always exceed our expectations. We’re so grateful to have found a photographer we can return to time and time again. Highly recommend Poetic Stone Studios to anyone looking for beautiful, heartfelt photography and a seamless experience!

Amazing & Professional Work!!! I highly recommend them you won't regret it. We used them for our engagement shoot which surpassed my expectations the video was amazing like a movie trailer. We also used them for our wedding and maternity shoot. Gabe listens to our vision and executes it in a way that blows you away, we were truly grateful with all our services with them and will definitely be using them in the future again!!
Every wedding receives ‘full day coverage’. Usually, this ranges from up to 12 hours. Coverage usually begins halfway through the bride’s hair and makeup and concludes roughly an hour after reception dancing begins. There are no set hours as that can ultimately affect the final outcome of the video. More coverage, more footage, better video.
Our team of four shooters are normally present on wedding days however this isn’t strictly enforced. In some cases where a considerable distance between locations or a same-day edit is requested, another videographer is brought aboard. If you think additional videographers are necessary, please let me know.
"Raw photos" refer to unprocessed image files directly from the camera, containing all the data captured by the camera's sensor without any alterations or enhancements. At our studio, we prioritize delivering edited products to our clients for several reasons.
We believe in presenting our best work, which involves selecting and refining the finest captures to ensure the highest quality output. Our editing process involves careful curation, color correction, retouching, and fine-tuning each image or frame. This meticulous approach allows us to showcase the full potential of each photograph or video clip, highlighting the essence, emotions, and beauty of the moment captured.
By offering only edited products, we aim to provide a consistent and professional representation of our work. This ensures that every image or frame meets our high standards of quality and reflects the expertise and artistic vision of our team. Ultimately, our goal is to present you with a final product that exceeds expectations and preserves the beauty and significance of your special moments.
A 40% non-refundable retainer is required to secure your date. The remaining balance is split into two to three payments prior to the wedding date based on your preference. Payments can be made via Interac e-transfer (Canada only) or credit and debit. If this does not work for you, I’m more than happy to work toward a potential payment plan.
Photo's are delivered within 30 days after your wedding date. There isn’t a concrete date but I try to deliver your full video between 6 to 9 months. You can expect your trailer within 1 month after your wedding date. I want to create perfection for you and to do that, you can’t rush art.
Yes - There are two options for you to choose from! The first is a single-camera stream and the second is a multiple-camera stream. Live streams can only be done during a ceremony or other sitting events such as when a speech is given.
