I started my journey as a wedding photographer by being an accomplished wedding videographer under my studio Fadi Films. For five years, I had the pleasure of telling stories through moving imagery, dialogue and music. In 2020, I decided to open a new chapter in my business and focus solely on photography.
I see myself as a storyteller first, and a photographer second. My philosophy is that a photographer’s photos are only as good as their approach. If I can tell your story by capturing the vibe and emotions throughout your wedding day, then you'll have timeless wedding photos that you will relive 50 years down the road.

What’s up? I’m Fadi, the lead photographer of Fadi Mawagdeh Photography, based in Toronto. I'm an outgoing person, who can often be a silly and ridiculous person, with an outrageous personality to match. The way I talk, the humour I use when I engage with all of my couples… It’s authenticity in the purest form, and my work is a direct reflection of my self-expression.
Mixing my personality with photography just seemed natural, so I make it a point to build a relationship with all of my couples. It's the only way you will feel confident and comfortable in front of the camera. It's fine to be JUST a photographer that takes great images. Most photographers are, and that's fine.
To me, that's not enough.
When you work with me, you're working with someone who doesn't only care about the cheque. You're working with who will be with you every step of the way.

My Photo Story
let's work together
Don't lie. You're slightly jealous of my fabulous hair.
My journey as a creator and storyteller began in the 11th grade.
With high school almost coming to an end and with no idea what I wanted to do with my life, I discovered a television program at my high school. With an oversaturated classroom, poor grades and no room for additional students, I begged my soon to be teacher, Mr. Houghton, to make an exception and find a way for me to enroll in his class.
Two week later, with a camera in hand, the possibilities for my future seemed endless. For the first time in my life I was finally able to dream.
My style of wedding photography is characterized as neutral/light and airy. It's simple, sophisticated and authentic. I love neutral and soft colours that are complimented by pastel tones. I truly feel it is the most elegant and timeless way to photograph your wedding day.
