An Interview with Dave Biesse:

Q: Why do you interview couples before working for them?
A: We get to know our couples more than any other photographers. By the time the wedding rolls around, we’re like two best friends with cameras.

Q: How has your work influenced your perception of love?
A: The main thing we’ve discovered is seeing the love connection. Looking through the lens, you’re closer than anyone else. We get to experience expressions and subtle nuances, feelings and touches – this is what we always try to record. It’s more about capturing feelings than capturing how people look visually.

Q: Tell us about a location you love shooting at.
A: My favourite engagement location is Toronto Brickworks. There are ponds, winding pathways, long grass, rolling hills and some really cool textured rustic walls. It’s very urban and natural.

Q: Is shooting in the rain a nightmare?
A: There is something so romantic about kissing in the rain. We love heavy weather, because it gives us such unique opportunities.

Q: Do you and Charlotte have a love story?
A: Charlotte and I met briefly in a casual setting and we set up this date. We shared a glass of wine and we just chatted and chatted for three hours. I’m pretty shy, but near the end I just asked her if I could hold her hand. I think we just knew that we both found each other.
