Bio
Andrew McEnaney is a photographer based in Toronto, Canada. Having only recently embarked on his photography journey in 2022, he has quickly honed his craft, capturing the raw and genuine moments that define human experiences.
Before delving into photography, Andrew spent his 20s traveling the world as a drummer with various bands and artists such as Charlotte Lawrence, Tate McRae, Alessia Cara & Architects. This rich experience in the music industry has given him a unique perspective on capturing the vibrancy and emotion of life's pivotal moments. Andrew's work is marked by a keen eye for detail and a passion for storytelling.
Andrew has learned to react intuitively to the remarkable moments that life presents through his disciplined practice of street photography in Toronto, New York City and Los Angeles. He quickly came to understand that he could translate his work ethic to the wedding industry.
In only his second year as a wedding photographer, he has built a strong portfolio of wedding photographs that exist outside the realm of traditional wedding photography. Andrew’s passionate approach to the history of documentary photography has shaped a body of work that is admired amongst his peers.
Words on Weddings
I stepped into wedding photography on New Year’s Day, 2024. My approach to weddings is rooted in my background as a street/documentary photographer.
When looking back at your wedding photographs, I want them to transport you back to your wedding day. That is what a photograph is meant for. To remind you of a time you can no longer access.
I don’t stage moments, I don’t interfere. I document the day as it truly is - honest, unscripted, and unpredictable. A wedding should not be centred around the photographs or the photographer. It is about everyone in attendance being present, experiencing your wedding to the fullest, and creating memories with all of your loved ones. No need to worry about the memories - I’ll take care of those for you.
