Edmonton wedding specialist Arif Kassam crafts natural, emotive wedding photos. Combining photo‑journalistic storytelling with timeless portraiture, he captures your day with care.
I’m Arif, the photographer behind Touched By Light Photography — a wedding specialist based in Edmonton, GB with over 15 years capturing weddings and engagement moments. My work centers on telling the honest story of your day: the small gestures, the spontaneous laughter, the quiet looks between you and your partner. I blend a photo‑journalistic approach with classic portraiture so you get both genuine, documentary-style wedding photos and beautifully composed bridal and couple portraits. Why choose me for your wedding? I focus on creating a calm, collaborative atmosphere. Couples repeatedly tell me they appreciated my relaxed guidance — clear directions when needed, gentle posing that looks natural, and a steady presence that lets emotion unfold. I treat each wedding as a unique story and listen carefully to what matters to you: the moments you don’t want to miss, the family traditions, and the specific portraits you’ve imagined. That attentive approach helps me deliver professional wedding photos that feel personal and timeless. My process is straightforward and client-first. We begin with a consultation to understand your vision and timeline. I offer familiarization and location previews so we know the best light and backdrops on the day, and I provide timeline guidance to ensure the photography flows smoothly with your schedule. On the wedding day I aim to be unobtrusive while remaining proactive — anticipating moments, capturing candid reactions, and stepping in for composed portraits when it’s time to create keepsake images. While weddings are my primary focus, I also photograph engagements to complement wedding coverage and give couples an opportunity to be comfortable in front of the camera before the big day. My priority is always authenticity: producing wedding photos you’ll want to display, share, and hand down. If you’re planning a wedding in Edmonton and want a specialist who cares about the story behind each image, let’s talk. I’ll listen to your ideas, help refine the plan, and work with you to capture genuine, lasting memories of your wedding day.
