Holly - Owner, General Manager & Event Coordinator
My husband and I officially launched Fedora Media in 2011. In 2020, I left my job, making this my full-time career, and it’s been one of the most rewarding decisions of my life.
I adore meeting new couples and helping them navigate the wedding planning process, easing their stress to ensure their day is everything they've envisioned. I’m fortunate to work with an amazing team, and my strengths in organization, event planning, and creating detailed timelines make this career a perfect fit for me. I specialize in crafting stress-free timelines and connecting couples with the right vendors, allowing for a seamless planning experience.
My signature approach is focused on realistic planning so couples can fully enjoy their day without missing anything. My favourite moments come after the wedding when I deliver their wedding gallery and hear about the joy our couples share while reliving their special day.
It's no secret I love seeing our work in print, and in April of 2023, we were honoured to have our work featured on the cover of The Knot Magazine. I can't wait until we get another cover!
The best compliment I can receive is knowing I’ve helped couples feel at ease on their wedding day. My vibe is organized, detail-oriented, and being attentive to our wonderful couples. A fun fact about me is that I’ve hiked the entire Bruce Trail, which was a life-changing experience.
My advice for those planning a wedding is simple: focus on what brings you joy, and don’t sweat the small stuff.

Trent - Owner, Lead Photographer, Videographer & Editor
My journey into wedding photography began when I gifted my wife, Holly, a Canon Rebel XTi for our anniversary. Inspired by her passion for photography, I soon found myself borrowing (or rather, “stealing”) the camera to capture everything around me.
I stand out in the industry by focusing intently on composition and colour theory to tell a compelling story through my images, constantly scouting for the best locations and lighting. My approach during weddings is to put couples at ease, using humour and genuine interest to match their energy and the day's vibe.
My favourite moments to capture are the first looks, as they hold such magic. One of the most memorable weddings I experienced involved a county-wide search for a runaway dog that I helped rescue—an adventure that made the day even more special.
I'm particularly proud of using my skills for community good, such as directing the rebranding video for the Cambridge Food Bank. The best compliment I receive from clients is their astonishment at how I captured candid moments they didn’t even notice I was there for.
If I had to describe my vibe, I’d say calming, nerdy, and confident. A fun fact that surprises people is that I also fly drone shows!
My advice for couples planning their weddings is simple: do what makes you happy, regardless of others' expectations.

Lori - Photographer & Videographer
My journey into wedding photography began 18 years ago at my own wedding. Instead of hiring a professional, I bought a camera, hoping a family member would capture the day. Although my wedding was beautiful, the photographs fell short, demonstrating the importance of hiring a professional for such significant events. This experience led me to enroll in a photography program, shaping my passion for documentary-style photography, where I focus on capturing candid moments and expressions.
One of my favourite moments to shoot is when a couple sees each other for the first time—there's an undeniable look of love that’s captivating. I cherish the opportunity to witness the coming together of families, especially during culturally rich ceremonies, like a recent Middle Eastern "zaffe" in London, Ontario, filled with drums and dancing.
I'm proud to have had my work featured in Vanity Fair Italia and to be recognized as a Top 10 Canadian and Top 50 International award-winning member of the Wedding Photojournalist Association. A memorable compliment from a client was, "You are really good at what you do."
My vibe as a wedding photographer is laid-back yet ready for action, low-key, and friendly. I can't live without my "pet pouch," which holds extra batteries, cards, and mints—it's a lifesaver!
A fun fact about me is that I previously studied fashion design and sold my knitwear creations.
My advice for couples planning their weddings is to read contracts carefully, request full wedding galleries to assess photographers’ adaptability, and check reviews. Friends and clients describe me as kind, friendly, and talented.

My ability to make people feel relaxed helps ease the stress that often accompanies wedding days, allowing everyone to enjoy the moment. I focus on telling the story of the day, with my favourite moments being those quiet ones with just the bride and groom, capturing their love away from the day's chaos.
Each wedding is memorable in its own way, and I cherish the opportunity to photograph diverse traditions from various cultures and religions. A particularly proud moment for me is when clients express their gratitude for keeping things on track, which helps them enjoy their day more fully.
In terms of my vibe, I would describe myself as happy-go-lucky. I can't live without all my camera gear—I like to be prepared for any situation.
One piece of advice I give to couples planning their wedding is to designate a point person on the day so they can enjoy themselves without worrying about any hiccups.

My journey into wedding photography began with my love for making short films. I’ve garnered many compliments for my sunset shots, which have become a signature part of my work. To ensure a relaxed atmosphere, I immerse myself in the wedding party, allowing everyone to feel comfortable when my camera is pointed their way.
One of my favourite moments to capture is the bride’s morning, where I focus on glamorous shots and meticulous details.
A standout memory for me was capturing an 800-person wedding; as everyone danced on the second floor, the floor bounced in a way that reminded me of a scene from Jurassic Park. I’m particularly proud of a custom wedding film I created this year, featuring original music composed by the couple, which they loved from the very first viewing. A heartfelt compliment I received was, “LITERALLY SO AMAZING! Thank you for capturing this so beautifully.”
Friends and clients would describe me as chill, fun, and focused. A fun fact that might surprise people is that I absolutely hate pickles.

Kait - Photographer
I’ve always loved photography, but my passion for capturing love stories and immortalizing the best days of people’s lives is what truly draws me to wedding photography.
My background in journalism sets me apart, as working in news taught me to tell stories authentically, translating into a documentary-style approach that captures moments as they happen rather than staging them.
I favour a candid and documentary style, allowing moments to unfold naturally like a fly on the wall and using movement and fun prompts for portraits to keep things relaxed and real.
My favourite moment to capture at weddings is the first look; the raw emotions and anticipation are simply beautiful. My vibe as a wedding photographer can be described in three words: candid, fun, and relaxed.
A fun fact about me that surprises people is that I’m not a big movie person—I haven’t seen most “classic” films, as I prefer music and books instead.
