We're Anika and Carson, a husband and wife photo and video duo based in Southern Ontario, and Amare Studios is the business we built together from the ground up.

It started in 2018. Anika was deep into building her photography career, Carson was her biggest supporter, and eventually the natural next step was for him to join the team as our lead videographer. Now we shoot weddings together, edit together, and put the same care into every delivery that we'd want for our own day.

We've also grown a team we're genuinely proud of, Nurin and Sarah on photography, Crystal and Aeriana on video. We've worked alongside every one of them at weddings, trained them in the Amare way of seeing a day, and trust them completely. Together we're Amare Studios.

Amare in Latin means "to love" and it shows up in everything we do. Carson, myself, and our team, can’t wait to help capture your love story <3
