Fifteen years ago, as wedding photographers, we set out to capture guests in a way that would create frame-worthy, lasting portraits. We wanted a setup that highlighted our background in portraiture with a bold, striking aesthetic. So, we designed a studio setup with professional equipment and a custom black-and-white backdrop, focusing on simplicity and elegance. Tens of thousands of images later, we remain dedicated to this timeless approach, delivering portraits that stand the test of time.
With a career spanning over two decades, Claudia has dedicated her life to photographing weddings around the world. Before diving into weddings, she honed her skills in the editorial and magazine world, shooting for prestigious publications like Toronto Life, Fashion Magazine, Health, and more. Together with her photo mentor, William Ciccocioppo, an esteemed editorial and advertising photographer, they brought the studio and editorial style to weddings allowing couples to experience bold portraiture that was once only accessible to famous people. This vision led to the creation of Portraits On White.
As the Founder and CEO of Portraits On White, Claudia is passionate about developing a diverse and talented team of photographers who share the company’s core values. She continuously spearheads innovation, setting higher standards in the wedding photo industry and teaches others along the way.
Claudia lives with her husband Wilson, twin boys, their Labradoodle and guinea pig in Ajax, Ontario. She enjoys backpacking, fitness and building businesses.
With over 15 years of photography experience, Justin’s journey started in weddings, where he developed a deep passion for capturing life’s most significant moments through the lens. Originally from a background in business intelligence, his transition to full-time photography was fueled by a desire to create compelling visual stories.
His goal is to seize every photo opportunity to its fullest potential, ensuring that each image resonates with authenticity and emotion. This passion led to Portraits On White, helping them elevate the event photo activation scene.
Leveraging his problem-solving skills, Justin continuously innovates and refines his craft, developing new ideas and solutions for the visual experience.
Justin lives with his wife Melissa and two kids in Markham, Ontario and enjoys spending time at the cottage fishing.
Unlike typical photobooths, the quality of the photography and printed photos are BEAUTIFUL and sophisticated. Our guests absolutely loved this service, and were so excited to share the photos on social media, get them printed for their homes, and keep them forever. The team was so talented, warm and friendly – thank you guys so much!
From their quick responses, to their professionalism – this company has it all. We have a few of the photos put up in our home as they are so classy looking.
