does this make us friends?
Hi! My name is Arizona Lanceleve, I am the owner and photographer behind White Pine Imaging.
Before you consider me as your photographer, let me tell you a little bit about myself. I am currently based out of Newmarket, ON, but love to travel, Iceland and Ireland are currently at the top of my travel bucket list. I’m a sucker for a really good sunset, a great playlist, and a long empty road.
I recently got married!! I married my best friend back in May and I couldn’t be happier. If you’re currently planning a wedding I know exactly how you feel, but trust me it will be all worth it.
I am a follower of Jesus Christ, and as a follower of Jesus, I believe that I am here to love everyone. I like to keep it real, and in suit I want you to know that this is a safe place for everyone, regardless of beliefs, race, or sexual orientation. If my work speaks to you, then speak to me and let’s make some magic together!
I am living a dream I never thought possible. Capturing personal and intimate, moments in someones life is something I am really passionate about. to tell your story through photographs, photographs that bring back good memories, ones that hang on walls, and shown are to future generations, photographs documenting your history. what a beautiful thing to be apart of.
I don't care if you don't remember who I am, but you remember the work I created, because it made you feel something.
What makes me different?
from every other wedding photographer
+ I'm Selective
I only take on a select number of weddings a year. I do this to ensure you are a priority, that you have my full attention and that your memories will last a lifetime. You deserve a photographer who is as excited about your day as you are. Even though you are hiring me to do a service, I see it as much more than that because it is more, it’s part of your life’s story. Your photographer should be someone who you connect with, who you can be open with, and be yourself around. because after all you spend the most time with them on your wedding day. I'm not just your photographer I'm also your friend, and like a friendship, connection is a two way street. If I am not excited about your wedding I know I won’t produce my best work, and you deserve someone's best work on your day.
+ What you see is what you get
For the most part White Pine Imaging is a one woman show. Aside from the select few second shooters I trust with your memories, everything is done by me, Arizona. I am the one writing this, the one who made this website, created the branding, the one who answers your e-mails, and who manages social media. I am the one who shows up at your engagement shoot, and on your wedding day, I am the one who ugly cries with your mom as you walk down the aisle (don’t worry I can kind of see). I spend hours sorting through your images, editing each one with care because your memories are just as important to me as they are to you. When you hire White Pine Imaging you can be certain you are getting the goof that is me. I’ll be the one to hype you up, cheer you on, stand up for you, and bring your vision to life.
+ I keep it real
Friends keep it real, while I still keep things professional, this is a celebration after all you’re marrying your best friend, and I couldn’t be more excited. While certain moments call for fun and excitement, others call for me simply being a fly on the wall and documenting the day as it happens. Posing and some direction can be helpful, but I want to keep your wedding day authentic. You should spend your day in celebration, not in stiff uncomfortable poses. Your photos should reflect who you are as a couple, your love, the love your people have for you, and what the day was really like. Your wedding day isn’t just a job or piece of my portfolio, its real life.
