FOR MODERN LOVERS WITH NOSTALGIC HEARTS
Wedding photography & films in Toronto, Vancouver, and beyond
SENTIMENTAL ON PURPOSE
Hi! We’re Clarise and Bradley
The couple behind ilo studio
We photograph and film celebrations with a love for honest, nostalgic memories. The family traditions, the people who feel like home, the little in-between moments you may not notice until you see them again.
Our approach is calm, thoughtful, and rooted in connection. We’ll gently guide you when it helps, but mostly, we’re paying attention to the feeling already happening around you, with an artistic eye for the moments that make the day feel like yours.
"Some moments only happen once. Let’s make sure you have them forever."

“We could not be happier with our experience with Clarise and Bradley. They understood our vision 10000% and executed our ideas perfectly.
Their artistic eye and creative direction made the photos feel expressive, authentic, and very ‘us’. They suggested shots and poses that were unique but still natural, and made us feel comfortable in front of the camera.
The pictures perfectly captured the vibe of our wedding day.”

"Clarise and Bradley are amazing! From the beginning to end of our wedding, they were so organized, detail-oriented, and caring. Book them!! You will not be disappointed.
They are especially great if you are introverted and aren’t sure about how to pose for pictures etc. Our weddings photos are absolutely gorgeous and I wouldn’t have wanted anyone else in charge of recording our day."

“From our pre-wedding photoshoot to the wedding day, everything went so smooth. The team was such a pleasure to work with and made the entire process feel easy and stress-free. Their communication, attention to detail, and guidance gave us complete confidence that we were in good hands.
We love being able to relive our wedding day through all the photos and video, and notice all the little moments we may have missed. They captured the emotions, the joy, and the little details beautifully, and we truly couldn’t have asked for a better team to capture our memories.”
Kellen & Jerry
We might be a good fit if...
You want candid photos with a little direction
You don’t need to know how to pose or perform for the camera. We’ll ease you into it with simple direction and little prompts, then give you plenty of room to just be yourselves and let the candid moments happen.
You’re deeply in love and want your wedding to feel personal
Maybe that means a family tradition, having your fur baby there, or the little gestures only the two of you understand. We want to know those details too, so the photos can hold onto the pieces of your story that made the day unmistakably yours, and only become more meaningful with time.
You love photographs that feel nostalgic and artistic
We photograph digitally and on film, drawn to honest moments and the little imperfections that make a photo feel like a memory. The kind of images that could be a frame from a movie, but still bring you right back to your wedding day.
You want your wedding day to feel like a celebration, not a photo list
You should get to hug your grandparents, make it to the dance floor with your best friends, and actually spend time with the people you invited. We plan photos around the day, not the other way around.
