We were so fortunate to have Vaughn Barry as our wedding photographer. Not only did he capture beautiful moments at both our engagement shoot and our wedding, but he is so wonderful to be around.

From the very start Vaughn made us feel so comfortable and always made us feel like such a priority. He always worked with us to make sure our photography was what we wanted - and he always exceeded our expectations on that. Not only is he so easy and fun to be around, he is also incredibly professional. Our photos were presented to us using a beautiful online platform that made it so easy to share with friends and family and pick and choose the ones we loved to have printed.

Our family and friends have raved about how awesome he was and how stunning the photos are. He is beyond fantastic and we highly recommend him to any couples looking to capture their special day.

When I was searching for a wedding photographer, I looked at a bunch. Coming from a photographer family, not only did I want pictures that I loved the look of, but I also wanted pictures that were technically correct. Vaughn's work blew me away and I knew I had found my photographer. Not only is his work amazing, but he's also a TON of fun and such a breeze to work with.

My husband doesn't love being in front of the camera, and Vaughn had him laughing and relaxing easily! And not only that, but he was able to make even our posed shots look natural and candid - and that's talent! On the day of our wedding, my photos were the one thing I didn't have to worry about. Vaughn was organized and knew exactly what shots he wanted to get - but then he was also able to go with the flow and get the shots that just presented themselves.

I'm in love with every photo I've seen and the one photo I was really hoping for (the first time my husband saw me - walking down the aisle) was better than I could've ever imagined. There is so much to keep track of on your big day, give yourself one thing you won't have to worry about - book Vaughn as your photographer!

- Samantha + Taylor | Belcroft Estate Wedding

Vaughn recently flew down to our destination wedding in Jamaica and deserves a glowing review for how perfectly he captured our day. We've worked with a few photographers in the past, and the experience we had while working with him was fantastically different.Vaughn was very likeable and relaxed. In combination with that, his strong teaching skills in how to pose, and clear descriptions in what he wanted us to do during shots allowed us to enjoy our wedding day without another added pressure. I can’t stress enough how important that was for us. We were genuinely sad to say goodbye after the day was over.

Vaughn was very intentional and thought-out in taking his photographs. Instead of 100s of shots from every conceivable angle, he spent time considering compositions, had us pose, took a handful of photographs and immediately showed us the mind-blowing results. His method is evidence of an experienced professional. Seeing the photos in the moment really gave us a confidence in the final results and took away our worries.

Vaughn delivers FAST. Ridiculously fast. We had our complete photo collection in just over one week after the wedding. That’s incredible after hearing horror stories of people waiting 4+ months.Let me reiterate the quality of the photos - I’m an amateur photographer, I was raised by a professional photographer, and I like to think I’m a well informed critic in the field. My wife is wedding-obsessed and has looked through hundreds of photo albums from beautiful weddings and talented professionals. We are both floored and ecstatically happy with the results Vaughn has given us.

He will help establish a workable, well-planned timeline for the day of your wedding.If you want to do things purely your way, no problem. He gives clear suggestions without pushing an agenda. He provides 3-month hosting on his well-functioning site for you to download and back-up your collection after the event. THANK YOU, VAUGHN!

I first found Vaughn Barry on Pinterest. I liked his work and found more on Instagram. When it came time to plan our wedding, I was so excited that he was willing to go to Punta Cana from Canada for our wedding. It was so far to travel and all for a very reasonable price! We got to chat ahead of time to get to know each other. He is so easy to work with and made the entire process easy and stress-free. Last night I got my photos back from Vaughn and cried tears of joy. His work is amazing!

I am beyond happy that we chose him as our photographer. Everyone at my wedding commented on how professional he was. He was able to capture the best moments without being intrusive. He made real connections with our guests and made the entire process fun. In addition to the classic shots, he was creative and able to provide us works of art that we will cherish forever. I love how he had vision and was able to communicate with us. The quality of pictures from the wedding and the ceremony were amazing.

We also did a trash the dress session in addition to our wedding photos and it was a blast. Vaughn was in the water doing whatever it takes to make magical photos. If you are planning a destination wedding - please make sure you budget him in for your photography. You will not be disappointed!!!

- Katie + Tom | Hard Rock Punta Cana, Dominican Republic
Peek behind the scenes at their trash the dress session.

We met with Vaughn for coffee after seeing his online portfolio and between the two of us, we knew we had to book him. Aside from his obvious photographic genius, Vaughn's sense of humour and laid back demeanour made the entire process of our engagement and wedding day shoots 100% enjoyable. What impressed us the most was how he took the time to not only get a feel for what we were looking for in terms of our photos, but to genuinely get to know us as people, not just clients. By the end of it all, Vaughn was like family.

Our wedding party loved working with him and our friends and family haven't stopped raving about our photos which took our breath away. We can't imagine having anyone else mingle with our people and capture all the love our day was filled with.

- Jesse + Justin | Tangle Creek Golf Club Wedding

Vaughn has been wonderful to work with and I highly recommend him! He is dedicated and professional. His website is organized and easy to navigate. He responded to our emails quickly and answered all of our questions professionally with many helpful tips. You can tell how much pride he takes in his work.

Vaughn recommended a beautiful location for our winter engagement session. Vaughn also did our wedding at Trillium resort and Spa. Leading up to the wedding Vaughn provided guidance by making adjustments to our timeline which helped our day go smoothly. He made us feel comfortable which was very important to us as we have never done any type of professional photos. We loved his style of photography as he captured many candid and genuine moments. He took his time throughout the day to ensure we got a huge variety of photos.

As a bonus, our guests loved him! We got many comments about how professional and easy-going Vaughn was to interact with throughout the wedding. Vaughn knew exactly where to go for family photos based on the lighting and time of our outdoor cocktail hour. He came prepared with our family photo list and ran through them efficiently.

All the photos look amazing! He sent us a “sneak peak” the morning after our wedding and our full catalogue in 1 week! We were grateful to have him as part of our wedding!

- Sarah + Andrew | Trillium Resort, Port Sydney

We just returned from our destination wedding in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic. Vaughn is the destination wedding expert. Not only did his photos turn out amazing, he helped me with so many questions I had about destination weddings in general.

He really takes pride in what he does, and cares about his couples.By the end of the day, you feel like you've been hanging out with an old friend the whole time. I cannot say enough good things about working with Vaughn. Photography was one of the most important things on our list, and Vaughn far exceeded our expectations. Thank you Vaughn!

- Ashley + Michael | Majestic Colonial Punta Cana, Dominican Republic 

I have been following Vaughn's work for years. When we got engaged, we got in touch with Vaughn right away! Vaughn was naturally our photographer of choice and we planned our wedding around his availability. We enjoyed everything about our special day and our photos were a dream come true. His talent and eye for detail is unmatched. He turned our wedding photos into timeless works of art.

10/10, we would 100% absolutely recommend Vaughn to anyone!!

- Kyrie + Clinton  |  Blind River, Ontario Wedding

Choosing a photographer was a big deal to us as we wanted photos that we would love to look at for years to come, while also knowing that we had someone who would help to keep our day running smoothly. After our initial interview with Vaughn it was clear to us that he was the choice for us! We had so much fun with him doing our engagement shoot, and absolutely loved the photos, it made us so excited to see what photos we would get on our wedding day!

Leading up to the wedding he was great at communicating with us and helping to get our timeline right. When our day came no photo opportunities went to plan due to rain, thunderstorms and tornado warnings! Our ceremony plans had to change and so did our photo list we gave him. Vaughn was amazing at still trying to get all the shots we wanted, and managed to get our big group photo as well as family photos during breaks in the rain.

He got creative with our wedding party photos and had us take over the bar! We now have some really fun photos with our friends that we wouldn't have thought of! Vaughn did everything to make sure he captured those moments we wanted so much, and ended our time with him doing outside shots in the rain where he captured one of our favourite photos of us walking in the rain.Vaughn worked so well with the whole team around us on the day, and his great sense of humour kept us going during photos throughout the day! He had way too much fun joking around with our British groomsmen!

We couldn't believe how quickly he got our photos back to us, and how amazing they all turned out. We decided to choose the package with the album included and making this online and approving it was so easy. As we live in the UK he was so helpful with making sure our album made it to us safely which we really appreciated! We are still in awe of how beautiful the album is and look forward to using it for years to come! Thank you so much for being part of our wedding day, and for capturing all our special moments throughout the day. We will cherish these forever.

- Michelle + Scott  |  Northbrook Farm Wedding

Where do we start? In late 2020 I reached out to Vaughn with the idea of a hockey themed photo shoot that would end with a proposal. Vaughn was the key player here, he made the shoot seem like it was a commercial type shoot for a local winter magazine and then surprise! His pre-shoot consultation was key to ensuring we were on the same page and able to pull off the surprise proposal. Like usual the Habs were victorious! His photos captured the moment perfectly, we love the artistic touch Vaughn has and the way in which he shoots.

Leap forward to 2022, Vaughn was the only choice for our wedding day photos. His level of professionalism, dedication, eye for the perfect shot are second to none. We had some less than favourable weather for our big day, not the way Vaughn see's it! He took stunning photos, taking advantage of lighting and weather conditions. The photos really capture a moment in time that we will never forget.

We are thrilled with Vaughn's work and the investment we made with him, the quality of his work speaks for itself. We are thrilled we can also change his feelings on the Habs.

- Maggie + Jordan  |  Barrie Country Club Wedding

If we could give him 6 stars we would. From the day Joey and I contacted Vaughn, every experience has been exceptional. We met in July 2022 to shoot our engagement photos, and we were both pretty nervous, as we had little experience with professional photos. Vaughn instantly made us feel comfortable, relaxed and he has a great sense of humour. So it was not surprising when we got our photos back and they were stunning.

We just had our wedding this past weekend, October 1st, and Vaughn was there to capture all the special moments. And did he ever. I don’t think we got back one photo we didn’t love. Our wedding party all loved his ease, sense of humour, professionalism and efficiency. I don’t think we could have found a better photographer to capture our day, it was an amazing experience to have him there with us!

We would recommend Vaughn to anyone, and will definitely be using him for future shoots! Thank you so much.

- Jenna + Joey  |  Sudbury, Ontario Wedding

Vaughn was an absolute pleasure to work with. We had him join us for our small ceremony last year and then again for our wedding “version 2.0” this year.

He made us feel comfortable and at ease. Getting our photos was one of our favourite moments during our wedding as it gave us some time to enjoy one another’s company and snuggle up to one another while Vaughn took photos and made us smile. The booking and payment process was also very smooth. He also helped to keep us organized with a family photo list and communicated well before, during, and after the event. We had sneak peak photos back within a day both years and the rest of our photos shortly there after!

Can’t recommend Vaughn to future couples enough!

- Emma + Lindsay  |  Trillium Resort, Port Sydney, Ontario

Vaughn was incredible! From the engagement shoot to getting ready for the wedding day and helping plan our timeline Vaughn was so patient with our questions and helpful with suggestions.

For the wedding day, he was great at making sure the day ran seamlessly and captured all our special moments from our photos together, with the wedding party, with family, of guests, and of dancing.

We absolutely LOVED our photos and had so many comments from our wedding party and guests saying how great our photographer was. Vaughn captured our perfect day better than I could have ever imagined!

- Jenn + Michael | Barrie Country Club Wedding

Vaughn was amazing to work with! We did our engagement photos with him and then he also did our wedding at Glen Oro farm. Leading up to the wedding, he was very helpful in tweaking our timeline. On the day of, he was always very friendly, and easy-going. He knew exactly what locations on the large property had the best lighting etc and worked around that.

He was very creative in getting some really unique shots that I love, but we also got a lot of candid photos that capture some awesome memories. We got sneak peek photos super quick, and our entire gallery really quickly as well. They are beautiful photos and I can't stop looking at them. We get compliments on the photos we've shared with friends and family all the time. Would definitely recommend.

- Lauren + Fred | Glen Oro Farm Wedding

Vaughn was patient, flexible, and very adaptable to our changing schedule. He communicated professionally, and offered valuable advice for everything on our wedding day, including a beautiful way to hold our first dance. He even convinced us not to go with the more expensive photography package based on our needs, rather than trying to upsell us.

He gave us a sneak peek of our photos the very next day, and had our full list of photos ready within a week.While taking our photos, he made us feel very comfortable and avoided the dreaded over-posed shots. He was very quick at assessing changing weather and moving us to the optimal spots at the venue to capture some truly stunning photos.

Having spoken and worked with a number of other wedding photographers, I cannot recommend Vaughn enough. He is the clear choice for us in every way.

- Meaghan + Marty  |  Seguin Golf Club Wedding, Parry Sound, Ontario 

Vaughn's photography is nothing short of fine art. We chose him for our wedding (Sept. 2023) because we were blown away by his gallery, and we were so happy we did. We wanted something we could print and hang on the wall, and he delivered 1000x over.

I'd strongly recommend doing the engagement shoot as part of the wedding package! As soon as you meet Vaughn for an engagement shoot, you'll be so excited to have him be part of your big day. As a generally awkward human who doesn't do well in front of the camera, Vaughn's energy and guidance allowed myself and everyone else to interact with each other and the camera in a way that was comfortable for all. This created beautiful photos which don't appear too posed.

He has a talented eye for beautiful scenery and fine details that make each photo into art. He thrived on being in a new venue/location and finding the best places to get the images we love. At a few points during the day, we looked over and Vaughn was literally on the ground to get the best shot. His dedication was incredible!

He frequently gave us recommendations/pointers from his experience to ensure we had adequate time to get the photos we wanted and make our day run smoothly. The number of positive comments we received from wedding party members, venue team and guests about Vaughn's presence at the wedding were too numerous to count. He was an integral part of our wedding memories; not just in the art he created when capturing our day, but also his presence/personality.

We actually had so much fun working with Vaughn for our engagement shoot and wedding day. He shared in our excitement (sincerely), and actually participated in the day rather than just taking photos. It was easy to tell he genuinely enjoys his art and this energy is infectious to those in front of the camera, too. Additionally, we had our rescue dog (Hal) participate in both the engagement shoot and wedding day. Vaughn was incredibly skilled with a challenging subject (husky with a short attention span), and captured beautiful images with such an important member of our family we will cherish forever.

Do yourself a favour and please book Vaughn for your wedding and other important life events! We plan to have him capture big moments in our future. We can't thank you enough, Vaughn!

- Brendan & Enise "Brenise" (and Halifax) - Ecotay Perth

I cannot express how amazing a photographer Vaughn is. We hired him for our wedding and he was PHENOMENAL. From the meet & greet, to the engagement photos, to the big day - he was incredible, so friendly and charismatic.

His attention to detail is second to none. From asking family members to take things out of their pockets, to ensuring all the guys had the same jacket button done up, to laying on the ground to get a better angle, it was BEYOND anything we could have imagined, even all of our friends and family were incredibly impressed. Not to mention we got SO many sneak peaks the day after the wedding, and then got all of our photos back in less than 2 weeks! Just amazing.

Not that I will ever get married again, but if I did, I would hire him in a heartbeat! Look no further if you are looking for a wedding photographer.

- Amy + Wyatt | Belcroft Estate Wedding

We are so thrilled we chose Vaughn for our wedding photographer. He was an absolute pleasure to be around, and was always prompt in responding to emails leading up to the event. He even offered to weigh-in on our day-of timeline to make sure we had a suitable amount of time for the photos we wanted.

As for the photos themselves, we were blown away! The turnaround on receiving them was very quick, and he even had a handful of photos ready for us the day after our wedding! We would highly recommend Vaughn for your wedding photographer!

- Brynn + Drew | Bayview Wildwood Resort Wedding

We hired Vaughn for our wedding which included an engagement shoot. Neither one of us have had our photos taken before. From the first time we talked to Vaughn we knew he would be easy and accommodating to work with. We met at a hiking trail he recommended for our super cold winter engagement session and he made us feel like we knew what we were doing! We almost forgot about the -20 temps. We got the photos back in a few days and we were ecstatic with them.

Fast forward to our wedding and we were even more impressed! He was punctual, worked quickly and efficiently. All of our guests commented on how awesome he was. He knew how to gather people up, stayed on track with the time (even with two people who are notoriously late for everything). He knew exactly how to use the lighting from the sunny day, and our photos came out beautiful.

We love how his photos are vibrant and colourful, but he also has a great eye for black and white photos.

We are so happy we chose Vaughn to be our photographer for our special day, and would recommend him in a heartbeat!

Thanks Vaughn!

- Erika + Craig | Trillium Resort & Spa Wedding

Vaughn is a treasure to work with. Great energy, fun & creative ideas and really makes you feel comfortable (bonus if you’re a little shy in front of the camera like my husband and I). We shot our engagement photos at our family cottage and despite the -15 temperatures and 2+ feet of snow we had so much fun. The photos were incredible. Our family and friends couldn’t stop raving about how much they captured our personalities as a couple and we were absolutely thrilled with the mix of fun & sweet shots.

When it came to the wedding we had such high expectations and Vaughn exceeded each one. Professional, relaxed, cracks a joke when you need it, delivers instruction when you need it. He had our photos back to us less than a week which is absolutely unheard of. I love every single one. There’s the perfect mix of posed and candid and every moment from first look, to the hug I gave my dad at the end of the aisle to first dance and speech reactions are captured perfectly. Could not recommend Vaughn more, he will not disappoint!

- Sarah + Mike  |  Madsen's Greenhouse, Newmarket, Ontario 

Vaughn has been an absolutely amazing support for us since we had the good fortune to meet him over Skype just over a year ago. He took the time to get to know us individually and as a couple, and was able to recommend beautiful locations for a fun and relaxed winter engagement photo session in the Muskoka area.

When we arrived up North for our engagement session to meet Vaughn in person, he had already purchased our park pass, scouted the location, and was ready to put us at ease for our first photoshoot. We truly appreciated Vaughn's amicable and light-hearted style, which (combined with his patient attitude) made it easy for us to learn from Vaughn the basics of posing as a couple - a huge help then and on the wedding day! We left that day knowing that we were in excellent and professional hands. Once again, Vaughn delighted us by diligently posting our engagement photos at seemingly superhuman speed on his easy-to-share online platform. We were quick to relish in the excitement that he had beautifully captured of our day in the snow.

Over the course of the six months after our engagement shoot, Vaughn was a consistent source of calm and expertise, particularly as we planned the flow of our wedding day with multiple vendors, in a remote location. We were very grateful when he took the time to review our multi-page wedding itinerary and offer useful advice that allowed everyone to relax and enjoy the day. On our wedding day, Vaughn unsurprisingly bonded with our families and wedding party, and worked in perfect collaboration with our vendors and wedding coordinator.

Throughout the day, he was truly a guiding force for us, as we navigated between all our events. We are particularly grateful for his flexibility, humour, and reassuring demeanour.As with our experience last winter, we were absolutely thrilled when, in record time, Vaughn sent us the link to our full wedding album within his online platform. Meghan admits that while honeymooning, her attention was drawn from the Hawaii oceanfront to those photos, and it was hard for her to pull herself away from scrolling through the photos to enjoy the sun and sea. We have been absolutely blown away by Vaughn's artistry and his ability to capture all the love we experienced for one another and with our families on our wedding day. This love is visible in every frame.

We are so grateful for all of his hard work and would highly recommend his services to anyone looking for a professional, friendly, and easy-to-work with vendor who seemed to surprise us by going the extra mile at every opportunity that he could.

Our experience with Vaughn was excellent! From when we hired him to our wedding day, he was very organized and had excellent communication throughout. Both my husband and I felt very comfortable around him. We love our photos and have had so many compliments on how wonderful a job our photographer did.

Vaughn really captured the fall colours and vibe that I was going for. We also got our photos back very quickly and did not have to wait the months that you usually hear of to get your wedding photos. Overall, we had an amazing experience and would highly recommend!

- Helen + Jake | Trillium Resort & Spa

We cannot express how amazing our experience with Vaughn was. We were fortunate to work with Vaughn for our engagement and wedding photography, and he delivered exceptional work in questionable conditions!!

Our engagement session was enjoyed by thousands of bugs in a forested area during an exceptionally hot day - Vaughn was a trooper and kept us sane, and through the chaos produced stunning and creative photos.

Our wedding day weather was also great one minute, pouring rain the next, then sunshine, then cold winds - again, Vaughn came through with exceptional photos and seizing whatever backdrop mother nature threw at us in addition to keeping everyone on pace and in good spirits.

Vaughn is very responsive to all questions and is genuinely engaged your journey. My (now) husband is not a fan of being photographed, but Vaughn instantly put him at ease and made the sessions enjoyable. Vaughn also provided a lot of guidance in helping us determine timelines, group photos, and what he needed from us well in advance.

Our engagement photos and wedding photos are stunning, powerful and exceeded our expectations. If you are able to secure Vaughn for your photography needs, do not hesitate! Highly recommend Vaughn Barry Photography, and hope to secure his services in the future!

- Kendra + Jason | Christie’s Mill Inn and Spa

Vaughn couldn't have captured our big day at the family cottage in Muskoka more beautifully. He scouted the site ahead of time, identified key photos he and the bride thought would pan out best and took time to understand the parts of our site/location that were important to us.

When the weather threw us a curveball, he embraced the weather, adapted to the circumstances and went above and beyond to ensure all of our desired moments were not only captured but enhanced by mother nature.In hindsight, anyone getting photos done by Vaughn should hope for rain because he used it to our advantage and gave the bride the "Notebook-like wedding" she could never have dreamed of. We will certainly be recommending Vaughn to anyone and everyone moving forward as he helped make a perfect wedding day unforgettable. Thank you Vaughn

- Stephanie + Grant  |  Muskoka Cottage Wedding

Vaughn is nothing short of AMAZING. His work speaks for itself but what really sets him apart is his ability to make you feel comfortable in front of the camera. It's like having your best buddy as your photographer. He is professional, funny and personable.

He also doesn't take months and months to get your pictures back to you. Our pictures were delivered within a week which is UNHEARD of in this industry. I would highly recommend Vaughn and will use his services again in the future

- Kameel + Jamie  |  Northbrook Farm Wedding

A great photographer can make a model out of anyone. That’s how I felt with our pictures. Every single picture really captured the moment of our wedding. From the beginning, Vaughn was very accommodating with the rescheduling of our wedding. Due to covid-19 we had to reschedule our wedding 3 times and it was no issue for Vaughn to stick with us.

The time with us on our day he was very efficient with his picture taking schedule, and did a fantastic job at simply being out of the way and allowing us to focus on the wedding. Vaughn even stayed past the allocated time to ensure his job is complete. Really appreciate this. He sent us the completed albums in a very timely manner on his well organized web page and we are mesmerized by his work.

My wife literally goes through the album 2-3 times a day randomly just to get that level of excitement and relive the wedding day. We definitely got more than we expected with Vaughn. Thank you very much Vaughn.

- Jonabelle + Sebastian  |  Belcroft Estate 

We had an amazing experience with Vaughn! Not only did our photos turn out better than we imagined, but he made us feel so comfortable. We’re not photo people so this was huge. Overall the best experience!

- Shannon + Ben  |  Sherwood Inn 

My fiancé and I were immediately made comfortable in front of the camera, Vaughn coached us through some basic posing which instilled confidence in us both. The entire experience was made to feel effortless, as though we were on a date and the only variant was that it was documented.

The end results will not disappoint! An absolutely stunning, personalized digital gallery is provided for you ASAP. All the information and features are included (i.e. prints for purchase).

Vaughn is a skilled professional, very personable and easy to work with, I think you will find that you are in excellent hands. Memories captured that will last a lifetime. Many thanks to Vaughn Barry Photography.

- Mercedes + David 

Only fantastic things to say about Vaughn! The day of our wedding he was so great with making everything so comfortable and easy. Vaughn and his assistant caught every important moment that we wanted to catch, and even more! We received all of our digital downloads super quick, which is unheard of! Vaughn puts all of himself into his work and it really shows, every photo is a work of art. We are so happy that we found him!

- Nadia + Brian  |  The Guild Inn 

Vaughn was the best choice we could've made to capture our special day. He was easy-going and kind, but also attentive and focused when it came time to shoot, and we couldn't be more happy with the outcome.

Many of our guests commented on his talent and skill throughout the day and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for high-quality, professional photos for any occasion! We look forward to working with him again in the future.

- Alyssa + Jadon  |  Wooden Sticks Golf Club 

Vaughn was an absolute dream to work with. He has a series of different packages to choose from and is flexible in adding hours or replacing portions of them to better fit your needs. He is a wiz when it comes to figuring out timelines and has outlines and list templates already put together to help you make your shoots go smoother! Always professional, Vaughn maintains an easy-going and relaxed vibe throughout each interaction that makes him extremely approachable and easy to share a laugh with between shots.

He knows what he's doing and it is so exciting to watch him do what he does well! Vaughn knows what looks good and will help you get there during the shoot, be it a suggestion on how to stand, where to look...or even throwing in a timely joke to help you relax and offer a genuine smile. Minimal effort for maximum photo quality! He's a legend and was one of the best financial investments we made for our wedding. No regrets.

- Anneke + Mark  |  Port Carling, Ontario 

Vaughn Barry was the best investment we made on our wedding day! When we got engaged we knew finding a high quality, talented photographer would be a top priority. Our wedding photos would be a very important part of helping me and my husband relive our wedding day memories over and over and pass them along for generations to come. There would be no compromise. With our high expectations in mind I am pleased to say Vaughn Barry exceeded all of them!

It was truly a pleasure working with him. He did our engagement photos and our wedding photos. When Vaughn sent them to us after the wedding we were blown away!! My husband and I had tears in our eyes being able to relive that day in the most perfect way through Vaughn’s exceptional photography. He did not just take pictures, he captured our story, our personality and took the time to understand why our venue was so special to us and with that he craftily brought the beautiful elements of our venue into each photo. His photos are breathtaking and unique.

We had never hired or worked with a photographer prior to this and were nervous for the photos and what it would be like to work with a photographer. Vaughn himself was incredible to work with, he helped us build our wedding day timeline, made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera and genuinely made us smile and laugh a lot. My husband and I HIGHLY recommend Vaughn Barry for your photography needs. You will NOT be disappointed, in fact I bet he will blow you away with his talent and professionalism. You will not find a better photographer for the most important day of your life!

- Tanya + Steve | Touchstone Resort, Muskoka 

Josh and I did quite a bit of research for wedding photographers. We chose Vaughn. We checked his website, read reviews, and most importantly, viewed galleries of his images on his website, blog and Instagram. We were stunned by the excellence of his work! Vaughn was very clearly the choice for us.

In addition to galleries, Vaughn has many helpful posts about getting ready for your photo shoots and what to expect during your photo shoots. We contacted him, and he quickly responded. We arranged for a video chat, and we instantly loved his personality and his professionalism.Vaughn took our engagement photos and our wedding day photos. Comparing them to the galleries of other engagements and weddings we saw online: ZERO disappointment! We find ourselves grinning ear to ear as we (obsessively) look through our photos. There are so many incredible and special moments that he was able to capture, and they appear so perfectly natural, while also perfectly stunning.

So many people have commented that our wedding photos are the most beautiful photos they have seen. We appreciate that people may feel inclined to simply tell us what we want to hear. But the defining moment was when we were with a group of friends in the week after the wedding, and between themselves, I overheard them saying that they wished they had an event to book right now, so that they could have Vaughn take the photos.

He was impressively funny, easy going, and downright good at his job. He connected with EVERYONE! Vaughn went above and beyond for the perfect photo shoots. He has a great sense of humour, he made us feel like we were models, while providing the slightest direction when it was needed, to get the perfect photos. Vaughn spent time in advance of our photo shoots roaming the grounds to get the perfect locations, the perfect angles and the perfect light. He even knew what time of day for different locations would work best. On our wedding day he also brought another photographer, Sam. She was also very incredible and she and Vaughn worked so well together.

What made us most excited was seeing how excited Vaughn gets over the shots he is taking. Our photos tell the story of our wedding day and take us back to the laughter and tears we shared that perfect day. For capturing those memories and preserving those feelings for us, Vaughn, we are forever grateful! (Until we have another photo shoot ;)

- Vanessa + Josh  |  Trillium Resort

When we decided to have a destination wedding, I started doing my research and one of the first things I came across was Vaughn Barry Photography! After looking at his website I was sold, and it is by far the best decision we made! Working with Vaughn was nothing short of amazing.

From the beginning he was very easy to communicate with and was eager to help in any way he could by sharing his knowledge of the resort we had picked! Even though we live in different parts of the Country we instantly felt comfortable in choosing him after video chats to get to know one another and make plans for the big day! Myself and Kyle can be very uncomfortable in front of a camera and this was our first time doing any sort of photoshoot, but Vaughn made things so much easier and helped us relax and enjoy the whole experience.

He gave us a quick lesson in posing and provided guidance throughout the whole day to make sure we got amazing photos. We loved how he would show us his camera after certain shots, helping us relax a little to know they were in fact turning out pretty awesome and we were not screwing the whole thing up! By the end of the day Vaughn had fit in great with our whole group, making some instant friends with his choice of Toronto Maple Leafs hat! He even went that extra step in learning some of our Newfoundland phrases to throw into the conversation wherever he could and genuinely wanted to get to know us and our group! To us this was a great quality to have in the person who was spending one of our most important days with us. Everyone still raves about how amazing he was to work with and how absolutely beautiful the pictures are.

The following day Vaughn was back with us ready to get messy for a trash the dress photoshoot. Highly recommend doing this! We got our whole wedding party in on the first few shots and it was so much fun. We were so much more relaxed by this point and the pictures turned out amazing. You know you have a great photographer when he is lying in the waves with his camera and heading into the ocean with everyone to get those action shots! Pictures were very important to me for our wedding day as this was what we would have to look back on when it was all over. Vaughn had our full photo gallery back to us in under two weeks and they are everything I could have hoped for and more! You will not be disappointed in choosing Vaughn to capture your big day!!

We initially met Vaughn as he was the wedding photographer for my best friend’s wedding. He’s one of those people you meet for the first time but feel you’ve known your entire life. Vaughn has a great personality; very cool easy-going kind of guy while maintaining a high level of professionalism. He’s scheduled, disciplined, punctual, and ensures the entire wedding day remains on track.

After observing all these incredible traits, choosing Vaughn to be our wedding photographer was an easy decision. Vaughn is flexible when scheduling times to meet, replies quickly to emails, and is well versed in the realm of technology! We planned our entire wedding photo itinerary over video conference and had multiple touch bases leading up to the big day to accommodate any changes. Our minds were always at ease knowing we could get a hold of Vaughn with a phone call, text, or few mouse clicks.

Vaughn is a truly gifted photographer with the unique ability to capture moments a couple can treasure for a lifetime. A quick review of his portfolio and it’s undeniably evident that he is a master in the photography world; his work is phenomenal. Vaughn, we can’t thank you enough for all your hard work and dedication as our wedding photographer. We’ve looked through our wedding photos with friends & family on numerous occasions and it still feels like we’re seeing them for the very first time. Thank you!

- Josh + Mischalynne | Nottawasaga Inn Resort, Alliston 

We feel so fortunate to have come across Vaughn while looking for an engagement photographer in Muskoka. From the beginning, Vaughn was responsive, organized and extremely helpful in answering our questions. He made us feel so comfortable during our engagement shoot- we are still talking about how much fun we had. We are totally in love with our pictures and will treasure these forever!! Thanks Vaughn!!

- Meghan + Noah | Muskokan Resort 

There are literally no words to describe Vaughn Barry!  After the first 5 minutes of meeting him we knew he was a perfect fit for us, besides the fact that his portfolio is exquisite. His professionalism is unlike any other!! Starting with our engagement shoot, he definitely warmed us up quick and within minutes we both felt comfortable in front of the camera. We had such a blast, laughing and joking, and laughing some more, and our happiness shined through in every picture!

I didn’t think his skills could get any better after seeing his magic on our engagement shoot - but Vaughn never ceases to amaze us! On our wedding day, Vaughn managed to make every single person in the wedding party comfortable, and again had everyone in stitches! At one point we thought he was going to stay all night with us he was having so much fun!!  His skills are second to none, and you have so much fun hanging around him all your nerves tend to escape you! If you want someone who is incredibly personable, down to earth, easy to work with, produces breathtaking pictures and ALWAYS goes the extra mile to ensure a quality picture, then Vaughn is your man!

We were absolutely honored to have him play such a large role in our wedding and I can't picture our day without him now!! He has become our lifelong photographer!! We cannot recommend him enough!!

- Brittany + Matt | Northbrook Farms, Severn, Ontario 

Pictures have always been super important to me, so I knew long before we got engaged that our photographer would be the most important choice we would make once the time came to plan a wedding. When I came across Vaughn’s website, it was immediately apparent that he was the guy to capture our wedding. When we met him the following week, it only cemented my first instinct about hiring him. His personality, like his photos, is impossible not to like.

I have now had three experiences with him - our engagement session, my bachelorette, and our wedding. All three times he made everyone involved feel comfortable and at ease, he had great ideas and accepted ours as well, and all three times we had beautiful photos delivered to us in a very short amount of time. We have received numerous compliments about all of his photos we’ve shared, and I can’t stop looking at them myself.He is also up for literally anything (we dragged him through 5 feet of snow) - and super good at keeping a straight face when he is in on a joke being played on the subject of the photo.

Needless to say, the next time we need a photographer, he will be the first guy we call. He seems like he’s part of the family now anyways.

- Emmie-Lee + Brad  |  Parry Sound, Ontario 

Choosing a photographer was the most important detail for me for our wedding. From the second we met Vaughn we knew he would be perfect for capturing our wedding day! His profile online shows what amazing talent he has for photography and after meeting with him we could see how passionate he was about it as well. He collaborated with an amazing team of vendors to create a beautiful engagement shoot that we could never have dreamed of. Right away he put both of us at ease during our shoot, making us laugh and capturing those moments.

We received so many compliments at the wedding about Vaughn not only for his incredible photos but also his professionalism.

He was so much fun to work with, making everyone laugh and didn't hesitate to get down on the wet ground to capture an amazing shot! Vaughn goes above and beyond to take the stress out of your day by offering a timeline and other professionals (hair, make up etc.) to help you along the way, we got all of our pictures back so quick and every picture was amazing! We enjoyed having Vaughn as part of our day and couldn't imagine our wedding without him!

The only hard part now is finding enough wall space to hang every picture! :)Thank you Vaughn! It truly was a pleasure having you!

- Mallory + Pat  |  Holland Marsh Winery

A year and a half ago right when we had gotten engaged, I remember Vaughn was the very first photographer recommended to us from a previous client of his who could not say enough about him and after looking at his work we knew exactly why- his work speaks for itself! After a few initial emails and a meeting over coffee it was the perfect fit and we were so excited to have Vaughn be such an important part of our big day!

During our engagement session we got to know Vaughn a bit better, and any “nerves” we had went away instantly. It truly was just like hanging out with an old friend, except you get stunning photos to go with it! Vaughn didn’t even question it when we asked to include our pet pig, Archie, in the photos haha! The entire year leading up to the wedding day Vaughn was always just a short email or phone call away and was always very quick to answer any questions we had, even the silly ones! He was such a helpful role in helping us plan out the entire timeline of the day!

Come wedding day, we couldn’t have asked for more from Vaughn. He was so on top of everything, organized, kept everything moving without letting us know or worry if we were behind schedule or not and was just a blast to spend the day with! We had (literal) hurricane like winds and rain on our day and Vaughn kept us worry free, laughing and smiling the whole way through!

We never once worried that due to the weather we wouldn’t get “certain shots”. In fact, despite the insane weather Vaughn kept us venturing and adventuring through it all day, worry free, which ended up resulting in some of the best memories and stories- and I’m sure photographs too! Having a groom who is not very comfortable being the center of attention or being on camera, Vaughn made him feel very relaxed. Not only that, but in such a short amount of time Vaughn truly goes out of his way to get to genuinely get know you as people and not just clients. He was able to maintain a high level of professionalism with his work while at the same time letting his true personality and creativity shine through, which makes him very easy to work with and makes for a truly fun experience - exactly what you’d hope for on your wedding day.

From start to finish he made sure that everything was on time and going as planned which allowed us to enjoy all the little aspects of our big day without all the stress of time management. Not to mention our family and friends loved him and could not stop raving about how awesome he was to spend the day with.

Hiring Vaughn was one of, if not the best decision we made when planning our wedding and we would highly recommend having him as arguably the most important addition to your team for your special day! We couldn’t imagine having absolutely anyone else to hangout with and capture our best day ever. If only we could get married again, simply to have Vaughn take more stunning photos for us!!! Guess we’ll have to come up with another excuse :) We are so grateful and excited to be able to reflect on Vaughn’s talent for the rest of our lives!

- Alex + Jake | Bear Estates, Living Water Resort 

It was no question that photos were going to be one of the most important pieces of our wedding; so finding the perfect photographer took us awhile. However after our long search we had no doubt we found the perfect one after speaking with Vaughn. His knowledge, and expertise was extremely evident not just through his photos but also talking to him.

He is very experienced in destination weddings and helped us not just with photos but planning advice, and reassuring us he would take care of everything 🙂 which he did! His professionalism, and creativity shined through. The artistic approach and personal touches to his photos make them unique keepsakes to cherish forever, as he customizes to each couples personality.

The photos were everything we imagined and more. Everyone we have talked to has said they are the most gorgeous wedding photos they have ever seen.

Vaughn has passion, patience and creativity, all of which we think are amazing qualities to have in a photographer. We could not be more happy with our decision and highly, highly recommend him for future couples!

- Natasha + Chris | Grand Bahia Samana, Dominican Republic

There are seriously no words to describe how amazing Vaughn Barry's photography is and I would strongly recommend him to anyone. Choosing a wedding photographer was such a huge/scary thing for us because having great photos was such an important part of our wedding must-haves list.

We are so unbelievably grateful that we met Vaughn. I met with him without my fiancé because he was the first meeting and I figured I was the picky one and I could weed out photographers before we had to have a final meeting to discuss details. Within minutes of talking to Vaughn I knew we had to choose him on the spot. He is professional, comforting, enthusiastic, so fun to be around and not only does he know so much about photography but he is also so helpful with everything else; timelines, order of events, etc.We met with him for our engagement shoot, a good test for wedding photos and we were BLOWN away. It was such a fun and easy day and he was so patient with us having never done a photo-shoot before and both not knowing what the heck to do and was so accommodating of our dogs being in the shoot. We got the photos back SO fast and had so many compliments on them from family and friends. We loved all of them.

Completely took any inkling of stress we had left in us for wedding day pictures, we had ZERO doubts in him. His pictures honestly speak for themselves, he seriously captured our entire magical day perfectly. Every feeling, every moment… EVERYTHING! We wanted to feel comfortable in front of the camera, not have anything that looked too forced, and he did this spot on. He made us all laugh, joked around with us all day, got along with everyone, made everyone feel comfortable and ultimately was just fun to be around on such a special day. He seriously goes the extra mile, getting into whatever awkward position he has to just to get the perfect shot haha.

Our wedding was less than two weeks ago and we already have the photos!! We have had so many compliments on them already and I am just blown away once again. I feel like you always accept that you will like a lot of wedding photos and love a handful of them that you want to blow up, but I honestly cannot choose my favourite, I LOVE them all. Best. Photographer. Ever!

- Cassandra + Jared  |  Muskoka, Ontario 

BOOK HIM RIGHT NOW! If we could give Vaughn ten stars we would. We got married in August at Blue Mountain, and Vaughn did our wedding and engagement photos. Next to getting married Kaitlyn and I both agreed that Vaughn was the best decision we made for that day.Personally: Vaughn brings professionalism and is able to bring just the right amount of life to the party that a photographer should bring. He is funny, engaging and keeps people having fun while also taking his role seriously.

Photos: Every photo took our breath away. All our friends and family say that these were some of the most unbelievable engagement and wedding photos we'd ever seen. Soon after the wedding passed, our venue reached out to us and asked if they could use some of our photos for their wedding catalog.

Professionally: Showed up on time and prepared. We were able to maximize the time we had because of Vaughn's experience. Vaughn returned over 600! wedding pictures uploaded and edited before we even got back from our honeymoon only 7 days later. Vaughn is worth every penny and we will be keeping his number for maybe an anniversary shoot someday!

- Kaitlyn + Kyle  |  See behind the scenes at their Blue Mountain Village wedding 

When I was planning to propose to my girlfriend I wanted to do something extra special and capture the moment itself. With a quick Google search I came across Vaughn Barry Photography and I was more than impressed with the positive reviews and his website which is filled with amazing photography. I'm happy to say that Vaughn exceeded my expectations during my proposal at Blue Mountain. Stress free, perfectly organized and well put together, Vaughn. Thank you for making our special day last forever.

- Nadia + Brian  |  Blue Mountain 

Vaughn did the photography for our private elopement. He made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera on our special day. The whole process from booking to receiving the photos was easy and he checked in multiple times with us. The photos are absolutely beautiful. He really went the extra mile to take some creative and memorable photos. I'd recommend his work to anyone.

- Rachel + Cameron  |  Muskoka Elopement at The Wood House

We cannot say enough great things about Vaughn. From our initial conversation to receiving our photos, Vaughn was a pleasure to work with. He is professional, creative and makes you feel very comfortable throughout your day.

We booked 3 hours for our small COVID wedding and Vaughn captured everything we could have imagined. If you are looking for a mix of in the moment and posed shots Vaughn is your best choice. A common comment I hear from people who have seen our photos is that "every photo is more beautiful than the last!". Our gallery is truly spectacular and you won’t be disappointed.

- Michelle + Ricardo  |  Sherwood Inn, Muskoka

Vaughn is amazing!! From the moment we saw his work we knew we had to have him for our wedding photos. Right from the start he was easy to talk to, very organized and professional. He provided us with great advice, many links to access information on his experience and helped provide us with a timeline for the day to coordinate all the time for the photos we wanted.

Before the wedding day we had wanted to take pictures for our engagement out at a lighthouse on the shores of Georgian Bay. Vaughn was willing and excited to do that for us. Brave man 😉 as the day we picked ended up being a windstorm, but he got some amazing shots of us despite the weather. At that point we knew for sure we had chosen the best! He was willing to do whatever he had to, to capture the best shot.On the day of our wedding Vaughn really went above and beyond what we expected. He was very easy to work with and very personable. From those private moments with your spouse that he is capturing and making you feel comfortable or jumping right in there to photograph a Newfie screech in ceremony and becoming an honorary Newfie himself.

Vaughn’s eye for capturing photos and moments is more than just the people but the landscape around as well is just incredible.Our friends and family are blown away with the amount and quality of photos we received. We can’t be more thankful to him for capturing our day! Thank you so very much!!

- Shauna + Chris  |  Grand Tappattoo Resort, Parry Sound 

My husband and I both agree that Vaughn was the best money we spent on our wedding. Not just an amazing photographer with a great eye for detail, artistic flair, and technical precision, but also a very mellow yet enthusiastic person to work with. He was very organized, had a plan of attack so that we could get all the photos we wanted, and would be the first person I contact if I was going to have another wedding!

- Alissa + Phil  |  Muskoka Bay Club, Gravenhurst 

Hiring Vaughn was the best decision we made in our wedding planning process. He is genuine, talented, and takes his job seriously. He set up classic group shots, artistic pictures, and candids expertly and with friendly direction. My husband and I are a bit shy but felt so comfortable in front of his lens. He is also great with kids and directed the five years old flower girl and ring bearer with ease.

He seems to truly enjoy his job and was energetic the whole day and his happy disposition never wavered. Hire Vaughn without a doubt in your mind. An investment in his talent will give you priceless pictures and memories. Looking at his pictures evokes all the emotions I felt on my wedding day. He seemed to have an intuitive knowledge of moments to capture and seemed to be in a million places at once. Highly recommended!!!

- Erin + James  |  Deerhurst Resort, Huntsville 

We were in the midst of our search for a photographer and were sold when we came across Vaughn. We loved the work, style and emotions Vaughn is able to capture in his pictures and it was exactly what we were hoping to find. The communication was easy from the start and the conversations really helped find the right fit for both of us. When we first met in person at the engagement shoot, Vaughn made us feel at ease in front of the camera and his professionalism, creativity and talent were on display the entire shoot.

He gave us a quick course in poses and his guidance made for an amazing experience and got us very excited for the photos of our wedding weekend.

We planned our wedding over the weekend (official ceremony on Saturday and a Korean ceremony on Sunday) and Vaughn was great in accommodating our wish to split the time between both days. On the wedding day itself (Saturday) we really appreciated Vaughn's help in terms of timeline and suggestions. We fully trusted him and wanted to give him freedom to use his creativity. What an experience it was! All of our guests felt comfortable in front of his lens and even my dad who barely speaks English had a great time taking pictures with Vaughn. Vaughn returned on Sunday to capture our Korean Ceremony and again was amazing.

Then the delivery: WOW! Not only are we absolutely ecstatic with the photos as they are absolutely stunning but Vaughn works crazy fast! We received our photos not too long after the wedding and thankfully didn't have to wait 3+ months like we hear more often. Vaughn is a true professional, genuine, creative and easy to work with. We absolutely love our photos and loved working with Vaughn. We look back at our wedding day as the most beautiful and special day and Vaughn was able to capture that feeling. You can't go wrong with choosing Vaughn to capture your special day or moment!

- Grace + Manuel  |  Muskoka Soul, Gravenhurst 

Vaughn is such a pro! He is not only talented and skilled - he is also a great guy to be around. We had a small wedding this month and all our friends and family mentioned how comfortable they were around him. Vaughn made it so effortless for two people who don't usually like being in front of the camera.

We knew just from our experience with Vaughn on the day of - that our pictures would turn out amazing and of course they did! We were both so pleased with our choice - he is the best! Thanks for everything Vaughn!

- Elaine + Brendan  |  Huntsville Elopement

We are so glad that we choose Vaughn for our engagement and wedding photographer. He was amazing to work with! He was always available by email or meeting virtually to discuss our wedding day plans. Throughout the whole process he made us feel comfortable, and on the day of he helped to create a relaxed and light-hearted atmosphere. We received our photos quickly and they looked amazing! We are so happy that we chose Vaughn to be our photographer!

- Kristen + Kyle | Trillium Resort & Spa

Vaughn is a magician! He was so amazing and professional during the entire process. Both our engagement and wedding photos were incredible. He and his staff truly captured who we are. Vaughn goes above and beyond for the perfect shot, standing in prickly trees or laying in snow banks... he gets it done! His sense of humor matched perfectly with ours, making the whole day so easy and light-hearted.  I guarantee you... Vaughn is your guy!!

- Alanna + Dan  |  Trillium Resort, Muskoka 

Vaughn is the best – he helped me stay calm and made our day run so smoothly. He is a destination wedding expert and is so much more than just a photographer. He really was the best decision we made during our wedding planning process.

- Christina + Justin | Royalton Punta Cana Resort, Dominican Republic

Vaughn was so lovely to work with. He made us feel instantly at ease, and gave us memories to last a lifetime. Photos were at the top of the list of importance for our big day, and not only did he knock it out of the park, he also got our wedding photos to us within two weeks! It was unheard of to have our pictures so quickly. We have already had friends who were in the wedding approach him about doing theirs, as he was so wonderful to work with. We would recommend him without question.

- Allie + Matt  |  Craigleith Ski Club, Collingwood 

Vaughn blew me away. My biggest piece of advice is to just trust this man wholeheartedly - he had us shuffling up a brambly hill at one point and we thought "well this is going to look awful" - well we were wrong (see photo above). The other cool thing about Vaughn is that he is artistic and has stunning vision, but he's also kind of a bro. He loves hockey and appreciates Adam Sandler movie references and fist pumps when he gets a really good shot, but then he produces these whimsical photos that look like something out of a high fashion magazine.

To have such beautiful photos come out of an experience that was so chill and easy was mind-blowing to me - I thought we were just going for a walk and having a good time, then the end product is this insanely beautiful piece of art. This man is incredible. Invest in your photography, stop looking elsewhere, book him now.

- Kathleen + Steven  |  Oslerbrook Golf & Country Club

We were referred to Vaughn from a previous client of his after their wedding and are so glad we ran with it! We hadn't ever had a professional shoot done before and we definitely wouldn't have considered ourselves to be photogenic but Vaughn had a way of bringing out our best.  He made us feel so comfortable while being so personable!

Vaughn's response time throughout the planning phase was impeccable, his experience in the industry was so comforting and he went with the flow when we sprung many small details on him throughout the day that we wanted captured. Our minds were at ease knowing he was just an email or text away, not to mention we received our photos back in record timing after the wedding!  We look forward to being able to reflect on his work for the rest of our lives.

- Tara + Kevin  |  The Barn Wedding Bradford, Ontario 

My wife, Emily, and I hired Vaughn for our October 2017 wedding at Belcroft Estates in Innisfil, Ontario. We met with him nearly a year in advance and within five minutes we could tell that he was the right choice for us. Vaughn is genuinely kind with an easy-going personality and a great sense of humour.

Beyond that, he is truly passionate about photography. Of the countless decisions we made throughout the wedding planning process, we can easily say that hiring Vaughn was the best. We honestly could not have been happier shooting with Vaughn on our special day and our final photos turned out absolutely stunning.

- Emily + Scott  |  Belcroft Estates.  Peek behind the scenes at their wedding. 

Vaughn was incredible from start to finish. It was one of the coldest days on record for Ontario, and yet there he was: lying in the snow, climbing into drifts, and sliding on the ice just to get the perfect shot. The photos he took tell the story of our incredible day and thanks to him we now have it frozen in time… so to speak!

Despite a difficult room lighting wise, we are incredibly pleased with how creative he was to make sure that wasn’t an issue and our photos look fantastic. We could not be happier with how the day went and would recommend Vaughn to any couple planning their wedding!

- Allison + Scott  |  Trillium Resort and Spa, Muskoka 

When writing a review about Vaughn I honestly don’t know where to start. I think it’s best to begin with one word: WOW! 

Vaughn was more than I could have ever hoped for, in every way. My husband has never been good with photos, and was more nervous about that part of the wedding than anything else. When we had our consultation, I knew immediately that Vaughn was perfect for us.

During our engagement session we both had so much fun! And not to mention the photos were fabulous. Leading up to the wedding day, Vaughn promptly answered every email, every stupid question, and was so incredibly helpful when it came to helping me plan the day.

The wedding day itself was even better. I am certain that nearly every guest at my wedding complimented his professionalism, how genuine, and all around awesome as a person and photographer he was. He was never in the way, but didn’t miss a shot. We had all the photos back a week later, and they were absolutely spectacular. I honestly can not recommend Vaughn enough. Vaughn was literally the perfect photographer, I couldn’t be happier with everything. You will not be disappointed if you choose him for your special day.

- Shayla + Joel  |  Muskoka Bay Club, Gravenhurst 

Vaughn was professional, organized and easy going from the first phone call we had with him. Vaughn's talent, humor and genuineness made the awkwardness of having tons of photos taken super easy. There is nothing about our experience or working with Vaughn that we would change. When we got back our photos we were blown away! Vaughn did an amazing job catching all of our wonderful memories from our wedding day and we could not be more grateful!

-  Chloe + Dan  |  The Manor, Kettleby 

Vaughn took our wedding photos and we do not have enough good things to say! Our initial interview was great, Vaughn was so helpful in answering any and all questions we had. It felt like he was working with us (not for us) to make sure our day went as perfectly as it could. On the day of he made sure to get the photos we wanted while still ensuring we were able to enjoy our day.

The photos turned out AMAZING - we've already had so many friends ask for his contact so they can hire him for their upcoming weddings. If you need photos for any upcoming event, you can't go wrong with hiring Vaughn!

- Amber + Alex  |  Northbrook Farm Wedding

We would highly recommend Vaughn as he was professional and kept us on time all day. He was also a ton of fun! Well worth the money! He even sent us 9 photos the next day for us to look through which was a ton of fun for us on our way to our honeymoon!

- Megan + Jake  |  Muskoka Bay Club 

We spent an hour or so with Vaughn and what I appreciated about him the most was his artistic mind set, he’s not afraid to get dirty on the ground or climb on things to achieve his visions or perspective, equipment is one thing but to make it work for what’s behind an artists eye is talent! A perfect combination.  He was accommodating and open to suggestions with a calm demeanour and a humourous personality, loaded with ideas and vision of the medium he’s working in, very professional. The proof is in the product. Thank you.

- Jeanine + Mark  |  Trillium Resort, Muskoka 

Vaughn is amazing! He did a wedding for a friend of ours, and after only seeing just a few shots we new he was the one for us as well. From the very first meeting, he came with so many good ideas. He had no issue having to drive out to the middle of nowhere to our wedding to capture our special day! He is super friendly and quickly becomes part of the family! I would recommend him in a second to anyone.

Doesn't matter what theme of wedding you're doing he's got it all! We are over the moon happy with all of our captures and can't wait to enjoy looking back on our day for years to come!!!!

- Laura + Dan  |  Owen Sound, Ontario 

I discovered Vaughn when a friend of mine got married, I loved his photos and made the decision that Vaughn was shooting mine. Best decision ever. Vaughn was easy to talk to, so helpful, offering suggestions for keeping warm, so friendly, and professional. Our photos are breath taking. We are eternally grateful for the time he spent with us, and the beautiful memories we have from our very special day. Worth every penny.

- Stephanie + Russell  |  The Farmhouse, Barrie, Ontario 

We are SO glad that we hired Vaughn to photograph our wedding in Muskoka. He was personable, professional, and helped keep us at ease even as it poured rain. He captured all the best moments beautifully. We will definitely hire Vaughn in the future to capture our most important life milestones!

- Calyn + Rob  |  Limberlost Wildlife Reserve, Algonquin Park 

Amazing and incredible! We can't thank Vaughn enough for the amazing memories he took for us! Vaughn calls the pictures investments. They truly are! He captured us as we are. He made the day fun and relaxed. The pictures he took are breathtakingly beautiful! Very grateful he captured our day!

- Tanya + Cam | Sherwood Inn, Muskoka 

We would 100% recommend Vaughn Barry to anyone getting married and looking for a photographer. Vaughn was very professional, fun to spend the day with, on time and on the ball with everything. Every picture he took was beyond amazing! He is now our lifelong photographer!!

- Courtney + Joseph | Barrie, Ontario

Vaughn is definitely a 5 star photographer! He captured some beautiful moments from our wedding in the Blue Mountains last weekend and we couldn't be happier with his work. He is very personable and has great attention to detail.. even all the little details! He is creative with his shots and makes you feel like a natural beauty. We are very impressed and would highly recommend!

Vaughn was fun and professional. He was excellent on the fly and took all the details into consideration before shooting. He was great at balancing our natural movements/moments and light positional guidance. Our photos are amazing and we know we picked the right guy for our wedding! Thanks Vaughn

- Amy + Cheryl | Blue Mountain 

Vaughn is an amazing photographer!! His assistant is also amazing! He is super easy to work with and makes you feel very comfortable. Our wedding photos are beyond our expectations! We love them :)  Book him you will not be disappointed!!

- Chelsea + Andrew  |  Trillium Resort, Muskoka 

Working with Vaughn was so fun and easy. Once we met him and had such a blast at our engagement session we couldn't wait to have him capture our wedding. And he definitely didn't disappoint on our big day. He is such a down to earth guy and knows how to break the ice and make you feel comfortable. Thank you so much Vaughn for our beautiful photos. You really outdid yourself!

-  Amie + Rich  |  Barrie, Ontario 

Vaughn was the wedding photographer for our destination wedding this May. I found Vaughn by doing a google search of destination wedding photographers and he was also referred to me from my travel agent.

From the moment we booked with Vaughn I could tell that we were in good hands. When we talked (about a year before the wedding) I was impressed with how knowledgeable he was regarding the do's and don'ts of resort weddings. He was able to give me some excellent tips for planning and made me fall in love with the idea of the first look. When we met at the resort he was so down to earth and easy to talk to.

On our wedding day he made everyone feel so comfortable and he was able to keep us all laughing the entire day (even after a torrential rainstorm started during the ceremony). Vaughn was very accommodating, he even braved a grumpy bunch of hungover partiers a few days later to get me the group shot I missed out on because of the rain. We have only seen a few (amazing) teaser photos but from those I can tell that I am going to absolutely love our wedding photos. Thank you, Vaughn for capturing our wedding day and for sticking it out during the rainstorm. We couldn't have asked for a better photographer!

- Amy + Frank  | Jewell Runaway Bay, Jamaica 

I would recommend Vaughn to anyone looking for a fantastic wedding photographer! His work is amazing and he was so professional. Often you didn't even know he was there. His effects with light are incredible! Thank you Vaughn for the beautiful pictures that we look at each day.

- Shelley, Mother of the Bride  |  Muskoka Bay Resort 

Vaughn is amazing and we couldn't have asked for a better photographer for our big day. We are really not the biggest fans of posing for pictures but Vaughn managed to make us completely comfortable and have fun all while getting those beautiful shots he's so famous for! I highly recommend Vaughn to any couples looking for a wedding photographer, you won't regret it :)

I can't say enough good things about Vaughn and his work. As soon as we met with him we knew he would be the right person to work with. We did our engagement shoot with him and were blown away at the pictures we received. I thought it couldn't get better - and then we received our wedding photos! I love every single shot we have! Vaughn has such a talent for what he does - he is a definite must for your big day! I couldn't recommend him enough!

- Sadie + Kyle | Belcroft Estates

What can I say about Vaughn, well he is extremely creative, energetic, educated, precise, friendly and out going that is only to name a few. Shooting with Vaughn was not trivial as he made it extremely easy and the best part he explained each shot as he was taking it so we understood what he was trying to capture this enhancing each shot as we moved along.

My wife and I both felt comfortable with him, Vaughn effortlessly made the environment calm and creative as if you were just hanging with a bunch of friends taking photos. If you are looking for brilliant photos that captivate your moment then Vaughn is your guy, I would not hesitate recommending him. Not only did we have great success with a great photographer but added a great friend to our mix. His personality is like no other, his talent is endless and you will not be disappointed.

Feel free to contact me for more information, a look into our photos or any questions you may have about Vaughn I am more then willing to offer any information about him.

I had Vaughn secretly photograph my engagement and I have to say Vaughn was outstanding. It was very easy to set up organize with Vaughn, we met up and he walked through everything with me, locations times and the best place for photos. He was incredibly personable, down to earth and easy to work with.

When it came time to take the photos, my fiancé had no idea he was there and he did amazing work taking great photos to capture the moment, which scored me huge points. Afterwards we walked around to different spots and took some great photographs to capture the moment. Shortly after Vaughn sent over a couple photos to send out for the announcement.

We couldn't be happier for all he did and how easy he was to talk to and work with. Thanks for everything Vaughn.

Vaughn is an incredible photographer and made our wedding memories perfect! I came across his Instagram profile when looking for a wedding photographer and fell in love with his work. We weren’t sure what to expect when we met in person, but he was extremely professional and a pleasure to work with. He provided us with a detailed timeline prior to the wedding.

During the wedding he made sure to keep everyone on track. He was very quick to find the perfect locations to take pictures and there were no delays or holdups. We couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out and we are so appreciative to Vaughn for making our wedding memories spectacular!!!

- Laura + Daryl  |  Sherwood Inn 

We hired Vaughn for our wedding in October 2017 at Drysdale’s Tree Farm. Vaughn is one amazing photographer! I had met with Vaughn prior to getting engaged for a school project I was working on. It didn’t matter what question I had for him he answered me with professionalism and had no problem sharing his work with me. When my fiancé proposed we knew right away we wanted Vaughn to shoot our big day!

Last summer I worked with Vaughn as his intern and when it came to our big day in October he treated me like any other bride! He showed up with his creativeness and made everyone feel so comfortable, he is great to get along with. None of our bridal party enjoy getting their picture taken but he knew just how to get them going and the results we got were amazing! It poured down with rain after our outdoor ceremony but Vaughn trooped through with us standing out in the rain getting some of the best shots that we received.

We are so so happy with the images. We got so many compliments on them and will recommend Vaughn to any bride and groom looking for a creative and energetic photographer! Definitely one of the best decisions we made when it came to planning our wedding! :)

- Abby and Chris  |  Drysdale's Tree Farm 

Although it was intimidating choosing a photographer to capture the most important event of our lives, I knew from the first phone conversation with Vaughn that he was our guy! I was so comfortable speaking with him and that comfort carried right through to our engagement and wedding sessions. My husband is super shy, but Vaughn's witty personality brought him right out of his shell.

We were so relaxed and had so much fun just laughing and focusing on each other while Vaughn captured these amazing moments. Everything from the timeline of our wedding day to the placement of my Mom's necklace on my bouquet....all of the little details Vaughn looked after, going above and beyond.

As a bride, you do not get a full view of the day and everything going on as the day flies by. Thanks to Vaughn we now have a collection of beautiful photos to display and flip through to relive our special day. We are beyond happy. Memories we will cherish forever.

- Amanda + Randy  |  Pillar & Post, Niagara on the Lake 

 Vaughn and his team totally exceeded our expectations. The photos are absolutely gorgeous, and considering the amount of money we paid they were worth every penny. From the initial meeting to the final album release, Vaughn made every step of the process completely seamless. He is professional, kind, funny, helpful, and really great at what he does. Shout out to his associate photographers who are just as amazing. I highly recommend Vaughn Barry Photography to anyone looking to get wedding photos done - I'd use his services again in a heartbeat. Thank you so much Vaughn!

Vaughn exceeded all our expectations with capturing our elopement style wedding. From our first communication to the delivery of our photos, we had a wonderful experience working with him. He was professional, made us feel comfortable, and regularly asked for feedback on what we wanted. He helped guide the photo shoot, giving us many helpful suggestions for achieving our desired pictures.

You could tell Vaughn takes a lot of pride in his work. His creativity and passion really shone through. The photos came out beautiful, with lots of variety to choose from. We would definitely consider him for future life events and recommend him to our friends.

One word for Vaughn....AMAZING! We had him for a destination wedding in Punta Cana at the Majestic Colonial resort. From the very beginning when booking and exploring his portfolio he was very informative, and not pushy to purchase other packages. One month before the wedding we had a video conference via Facebook to create the timeline for the wedding and he was so helpful. He guided us and gave us good ideas and tips to consider for the big day, things I would have never thought of if it wasn't for him.

Once we arrived at the resort he met with us when it was convenient for us and reviewed the timeline and everything about our special day. When the day arrived he was so organized and fun and upbeat to work with. My husband and I hate pictures but he had a smile on mine and my hubby's face the entire time. We had a very big bridal party of 18 and he kept us all on track and most importantly made us all look amazing.

The bridal party and all the guests loved him and his upbeat personality. I thought it would take months to get the pictures back but it only took a week and half! I couldn't believe it! All of the photos are amazing and my husband was so happy with the product and he didn't want a photographer in the first place. His exact words were "thank gosh we had Vaughn". My thoughts exactly.

I would recommend Vaughn to anyone in a heartbeat. We will cherish our wedding photos for the rest of our lives and we have Vaughn to thank for that. If you want your special day to be captured in utter beauty, Vaughn is the way to go.

- Ashley + Derek | Majestic Colonial Punta Cana, Dominican Republic 

From the first meeting we had with Vaughn, we knew we had to have him shoot our wedding. Vaughn is such a fun, easy going, creative photographer who will do just about anything to get the right shot! All of our pictures are amazing and we look at them often. Vaughn Barry Photography will always be our photographer for many years to come, he is 100% recommended by us for not only your special day but any photography needed!!

- Lindsay + Albert  |  Oro, Ontario 

Five stars says it all! We could not be any happier with Vaughn Barry's amazing photography skills. Not only did he photograph our wedding but our engagement session as well. His relaxed nature, made our 'camera shy' personalities disappear. Making our wedding day photos flawless. He isn't afraid to venture onto new grounds for the perfect backdrop and angle. I'm pretty sure we seen him laying more in the dirt, rather then tip toeing around puddles, on both photo sessions.

His drive and passion to capture beautiful memories shines in his work. He was able to capture so many emotions through the camera lens that we will forever hold in our memories. We would highly recommend Vaughn Barry!

- Amanda & Jamie | Barrie Country Club

Vaughn is the best photographer we have ever had, even better than our wedding photographer! He did a couple's photo shoot with us while staying at the Majestic Colonial in Punta Cana. He was professional and really made the experience very comfortable for both of us. I really appreciated his attention to detail (e.g., hand, finger, leg placement), which makes all the difference in the overall professionalism of each picture. He is also creative in his pose suggestions, so you won't end up with the same poses in each picture or one's you have seen before.

Overall, I definitely recommend Vaughn and look forward to working with him in the future!

- Katelyn + Tom | Majestic Colonial Punta Cana 

Vaughn's photography is nothing short of amazing! We just had some family pics taken by Vaughn and they were just spectacular!!! We first met Vaughn in the summer of 2015 when he photographed my son's wedding at Belcroft Estates. He had a way to put everyone at ease throughout the day especially when we had to deal with the unexpected inclement weather. Needless to say the pictures were simply beautiful. I hope that we will have the pleasure of having Vaughn photograph for us again... maybe another wedding?

- The Murphy Family  |  Barrie, Ontario 

It is hard to express in words how unbelievably amazing it was to work with Vaughn. His work is stunning and his is level of professionalism is outstanding. The day of our wedding he took care of everything: coordinating the shots, timing, picture locations, set up etc. He made me feel so relaxed and it was so reassuring to have him direct our group. Looking back this was one of the best parts of our day, because I did not have to worry about anything. Vaughn made this experience so positive and fun. Vaughn is so personable and will instantly make you feel comfortable.

My Husband and his groomsmen had a blast with Vaughn and every single one of them complimented how accommodating his was with our group. Working with myself and my Bridesmaids, Vaughn kept us laughing in the below zero temperatures and every single picture turned out perfect! Vaughn is constantly searching out photo locations and opportunities. His level of creativity is remarkable and we were absolutely blown away with our photos. We have had so many compliments from family, friends, and coworkers, with everyone remarking that these were some of the best wedding photos they have ever seen.As a Wedding Coordinator, I work with many photographers in the industry and Vaughn’s work and professionalism is like nothing I have ever seen.

I have nothing but great things to pass along about his service. We are so overjoyed to have had the privilege of meeting him and having him photograph our wedding day. The experience and our pictures have left us with priceless memories. We look forward to having the opportunity to work with him again. Thank you Vaughn! We are still on cloud 9!

After researching numerous photographers for our destination wedding, Vaughn Barry stood out from the rest (by a long shot) so we decided to hire him for our wedding in Jamaica. We certainly were not disappointed, his laid back personality and genuine love for what he does made us very relaxed throughout the day. He took care of everything from keeping us on time to scoping out the best places for shots, as well as making sure we had fun so that the pictures he captured were real, and not posed. Vaughn was more than willing to go anywhere to capture the perfect shot (waist deep in the pool at 10:00pm just to mention one). His photography style is very unique and we highly recommend him.

We were married at the Royalton White Sands Montego Bay, Jamaica two weeks ago and it was absolutely perfect. I will write a full review of the resort, wedding department, salon, etc. but I wanted to give a huge shout out to our photographer Vaughn Barry Photography, who made our day stress free and fun. Vaughn spent the entire day/ evening with us and our guests, capturing the whole thing. His laid back and easy going personality, and love for what he does made it feel more like we were hanging out with a friend than having a photographer following us around. We didn't have to worry about the time, where to go for pictures (he had previously scoped out the best places), and he was excellent with engaging with the kids in our group in getting them to smile for pictures.

His photography style was exactly what we were looking for- real in the moment pictures (not posed and fake). Although we have only saw a few sneak peek pictures so far, we are confident that they are going to be amazing. If you are looking to hire a photographer for your destination wedding, we highly recommend Vaughn.

- Kate + Billy  |  Royalton White Sands Montego Bay, Jamaica

Vaughn Barry is amazing at what he does. He makes the experience that much more special and I can't wait to work with him again in the future for other family events/gatherings. He has an eye for beautiful photos and is so much fun. His photos look natural but at the same time they are out of this world.

Many people who have viewed are engagement and wedding photos have made a comment on how amazing they are and how they have never seen work like that done. He is worth every penny and if anyone has the opportunity to work with him, you are very lucky and won't be disappointed.

- Claudia + Adam | Barrie, Ontario 

If you want a genuine guy who is unbelievably talented and passionate about getting the best shot or capturing the perfect moments then he is the photographer for you. By the end of both our engagement shoot and wedding day he was covered in leaves, mud and a fat smile across his face. He goes the extra mile to ensure a quality photo with breathtaking scenery. He is constantly scanning locations to find the best angles or unique colouring, texture or foliage for his photos. He never seems to miss a beat with capturing candid shots and true emotion. I can’t say enough great things about him.

Anyone who has seen my photos is always impressed with the quality, style, coverage and attention to detail in capturing all the sentiment of the day. Finally, because he is truly excited about his work- photos are edited and delivered within a few weeks- his efficiency is unheard of in the wedding photography world. To top it off – he is the type of guy you want to have over for dinner and drinks after because he is truly that enjoyable. Vaughn allows you to experience your day without a care in the world and adds a playful atmosphere without impeding on the magic or romance of the day

– HE IS ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE.

- Natalie + Kent | Waterstone Estates 

Perfection! I feel when it comes to wedding vendors, when the groom goes out of his way to tell everyone about how amazing his photographer was....that speaks volumes. Book now, thank us later!

- Terri-Ann + Jacob  | Cranberry Resort, Bear Estate Collingwood

Working with Vaughn and Kindsey was more than we could ever imagine. When we started planning our wedding we knew we had to have a photographer who could catch every emotion, detail, laughter and everything that comes with a wedding, Vaughn and Kindsey nailed it! July 24th 2014 we met with Vaughn up north in the beautiful Muskoka woodlands to do our engagement photos. Vaughn was so creative with the angles, positions, placement for each photo. We were blown away with the pictures he captured.

He is so dedicated to his work and isn't afraid to get dirty (he broke a sandal in the first 10 minutes and managed to do our entire session with no complaints walking on gravel, dirt, water and mud). Colby and I were amazed with how the photos turned out and couldn't wait for Vaughn to photograph our big day.A year and a day later Vaughn and Kindsey shot our wedding. The two of them have such great personalities and are so easy to work with. They felt like another guest at our wedding. Vaughn helped calm my nerves and kept us laughing throughout the day.

We are so impressed how they captured such raw emotion, laughter and love. I was worried about our short timeline to get all our photos and Vaughn managed to go above and beyond what we had in mind. He was so quick with arranging groups and giving directions to catch the best shots. Vaughn and Kindsey stayed late into the evening snapping such fun photos of family and friends at our reception. Every photo brought a smile to our faces and allowed us to relive each moment and see moments we weren't apart of. We will recommend Vaughn to everyone we know. Again, thank you so much Vaughn for capturing our love story with your breathtaking photos.

- Brittany + Colby  |  Trillium Resort

Vaughn was great! Very organized and listened to all our ideas. He was so professional and wonderful to work with. Everyone forgot he was there, he was so good at capturing candid moments and not being intrusive throughout the ceremony and reception. Our photos turned out amazing and we couldn't be happier.

- Amber + Brett  |  Muskoka Bay Resort 

Mr Vaughn Barry... a man with an exceptional & extraordinary talent . He is a photographer that not only takes pictures but a photographer that is able to capture each moment, each tear, every smile, glance, emotion and thought in a blink of an eye or rather I should say, in a shutter speed of his own lens. The simplest of pictures that say a million words... which will leave you breathless, every time.

We can't thank you enough for going the extra mile to make this day and all of the days leading up to it a memorable one for us. Highly recommended to all in need of an artist!

- Melissa + Daniel | The Doctor's House, Kleinburg, Ontario

When I set out to hire a photographer for our engagement shoot, Vaughn came highly recommended. Boy did live up to those recommendations. Vaughn was patient, insightful and incredibly knowledgeable in assisting me with the planning of the surprise photo-shoot for my fiancée. What impressed me the most was the way in which Vaughn lives and breathes his craft; he brings incredible vision, creativity, passion and dedication to each shot.

There are no second chances to recreate the exact moment of the proposal, and there is no one I would trust more than Vaughn to capture that special moment. We have received nothing but compliments from family and friends who have seen our photos. It is without reservation that I recommend Vaughn to anyone looking for a photographer to capture life’s precious moments. There is no doubt that we will be calling upon Vaughn on our wedding day.

- Jackie + Gordon  |  Marriage Proposal

We were blown away with our engagement photos that we just received from Vaughn. Everything from the pictures, the awesome location that Vaughn recommended to us, all the way to the final packaging of the flash drive sent in the mail was top notch. We had only a few times available during our vacation to work with and he was fully accommodating to our needs and availability. I have recommended Vaughn to friends already and will continue to do so. The pictures that were captured were better than we could have hoped for. We'd book him again in a heartbeat. Thanks for the amazing pictures Vaughn; we hope to use you again in the future!

- Jo-Anna + Glenn  |  Collingwood 

Most amazing photographer any girl could ever ask for on her wedding day!! Vaughn was amazing and captured every important moment of our big day and really told a story with his photographs. He wasn't afraid to lay in the dirt or grass to get that perfect picture and was always one step ahead of us. If you are looking for a photographer who will be sure to capture every moment with his own flair then Vaughn is your man! I would 100% recommend him to everyone I know.

- Amanda + Dennis | Sudbury, Ontario

 Vaughn is extremely competent, professional and full of great ideas. He was able to capture moments during our engagement shoot + wedding that nobody else could and avoid some obstacles that would otherwise be in the way. He was very easy to work with and always reliable.

- Katie + Max | Windermere House 

If you are getting married in the Barrie area, Vaughn is your 'must have' photographer. He is so talented and has such creativity. He photographed our wedding day and did an amazing job. Our pictures are spectacular! You will not regret hiring Vaughn to capture your special day.

- Grant + Charlotte | Lafontaine, Ontario 

On a cold day in December Vaughn with his charismatic, professional demeanour was able to bring energy and life to each photograph he took. His time and patience helped to bring comfort and joy to our day. If you're looking for stunning and unique results then look no further. Highly Recommended!!

- Teresa + Chris | Collingwood, Ontario 

Vaughn was our photographer in January 2017 at Nottawasaga Resort in Alliston. Just like all the reviews below, we have nothing but amazing things to say about him. He's great with people, we were happy to have him be a part of our most special day. We had family and friends comment on how great he was. He adds to the positive atmosphere by just being him, he's supportive to your timeline and vision. He's talented at what he does, he knows how and when to take those pictures you want to look at over and over again. He captures the special moments magically for a lifetime. We were highly impressed with his services. I would recommend him to anyone who likes high quality photos.

- Audrey + Adam | Nottawasaga Resort 

Vaughn is a very personal, professional photographer that my husband and I thoroughly enjoyed working with. His pictures tell the story of our wedding day beautifully. He was fun, and made our guests feel comfortable - we received many compliments on his attitude and enthusiasm. He was a great source of knowledge for our destination wedding at the Majestic Colonial in Punta Cana, and even joined us on a catamaran ride for our trash the dress session. His flexibility and responsiveness to our requests was greatly appreciated. I would say we received our wedding photos in record time (approximately 2-3 weeks after the wedding), and we loved the two videos (unexpected too!) that he put together for us. I must admit I get a little teary watching them! Thanks Vaughn for helping us capture the essence of the day and for taking pictures that we will look back on for years! Cheers and best of luck!

- Lindsay + Andrew | Majestic Colonial Punta Cana 

Thank you Vaughn for capturing our wedding day!! You did a great job!! William and I love all the photos! You were very professional, fun, and very organized. I am glad you were part of our wedding team! Thank you!

- Stephanie + Will | Innisbrook Golf 

 We found Vaughn’s work on Facebook and were taken back by the artistic nature of his photography. At our first meeting with Vaughn, we were reassured by his enthusiasm and attention to detail. We were more than pleased with our beautiful engagement photos last summer and Vaughn out did himself by creating our magical wedding photos. Vaughn’s daughter, Kindsey, came along with Vaughn to photograph our wedding which was an added bonus. We are so pleased with how Vaughn and Kindsey managed to capture the myriad of emotions that we and our guests expressed throughout the day. Our photos are reflective of so many special moments which are irreplaceable. I especially appreciate Vaughn’s ability to run a tight ship which gets the job done while keeping things light-hearted and fun. He’s been very prompt to respond to any questions and unbelievably quick at getting the finished product to us. We highly recommend Vaughn Barry!

- Jen + Ty | Geneva Park YMCA, Orillia 

We met Vaughn about a month after we got engaged and began planning our wedding. We hadn't even finalized a venue yet but we had read great things about him so we decided to meet him for coffee and to get a sense of who he was and if he would fit with our vision. As soon as we sat with him and talked a little about our special day we knew he was our only choice. His upbeat personality and his excitement when talking about his work made are decision easy. Throughout our wedding planning Vaughn was very easy going and flexible with our various changes and more than willing to help us out and offer advice during our planning process. When we met Vaughn for our engagement photos, he was as happy and chipper as usual, and made our day fun and carefree. As we walked around Sunnidale Park taking our engagement photos it felt more like walking around with an old friend.Even on our wedding day we felt as though Vaughn was more of a friend than someone we had hired to take photos of our wedding. Throughout the day Vaughn was always around but you also never knew where he was. Always able to capture those special moments from various angles. He was professional but also fun and light hearted, and would show you little previews of certain shots he took to make sure you were happy. We were able to view some photos a few days after the wedding and they were exactly what we were hoping to see. He went over and above, capturing images that we didn't even think were being captured. He is worth every penny, and we're glad we upped our budget for photography considering its the only physical proof of your special memories.We cant thank Vaughn enough for everything he did for us and turning our wedding day into a story that will be able to be passed on to our children. Thank you Vaughn, Our day wouldn't have been the same without you.

- Vanessa + Adam | Base Borden 

Thank you Vaughn for doing such an amazing job on both our Engagement Shoot and Wedding day! We loved every single picture and we're most thankful for how much each picture captured our style and personalities! Will definitely be recommending you to friends and family.
