Based in the Niagara area, Afterglow offers meaningful and artistic wedding photography, maternity photography, and boudoir photography services in Niagara Falls, Niagara-on-the-Lake, St. Catharines, Burlington, and the GTA. Wedding and portrait photography also available in cottage country in Muskoka-Haliburton and Barrie.

Specializing in styled sessions, I combine digital photography with film photography to provide a fine art experience. Just as each and every person has a special story to tell, every (Niagara) wedding, maternity or boudoir photography session is unique. I often photograph surprise engagements at Niagara Falls, and offer gift certificates for anniversary and graduation/high-school photo shoots. Available for outdoor family portraits, maternity boudoir sessions, and in-home newborn lifestyle photos anywhere in Niagara.

As one of Niagara’s leading wedding and portrait photographers, I especially enjoy covering weddings at Inn on the Twenty and Cave Spring Winery. I have also been regularly invited to photograph weddings at Vineland Estates Winery, the Slit Barn in Cambridge, Cambium Farms in Caledon, and barn weddings at famous Ball’s Falls in Vineland. There is a reason so many consider it worth the drive from Toronto into Niagara for winery weddings and family photography.

Get in touch with me, and I am more than happy to help you realize your photography vision for your special event, wedding, or maternity session

My hope is that when you look at your images, you will be reminded of everything you felt that day and during that time in your life.

Yesterday is but today’s memory; there is no better time to be optimistic and hopeful about the future because these moments you’re living right now are some of the sweetest memories you will make in your lifetime. Only through photographs can you ever hope to see the person you once were. A photo brings those emotions flooding back in a way that nothing else can.

For my couples: Your investment in Afterglow is an investment of trust. It reflects a willingness to share who you are when you are alone together…what characterizes your love. Your images will remind you of why you fell in love, and why you are still in love.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5 Stars – Absolutely Outstanding! I cannot recommend Kirk with Afterglow Images highly enough! From the very first phone call, Kirk was exceptional. He answered my call on a Saturday while driving to a wedding, took the time to answer all of my questions, and never once made me feel rushed. I hired him on less than a week's notice to photograph my 60th birthday celebration in Niagara Falls, Ontario, and he immediately went to work making it happen. Kirk was incredibly accommodating and flexible with my schedule. He met us at Two Sisters Vineyards for a beautiful daytime photo session, then joined us again that evening at Bar Barista inside Fallsview Casino Resort for my birthday cake and champagne celebration. Along the way, he even made an extra stop so we could capture stunning photos with Niagara Falls as our backdrop...memories I'll cherish for a lifetime. His professionalism, creativity, easygoing personality, and willingness to go above and beyond made the entire experience effortless and so much fun. The level of service he provided from start to finish was truly first class. If you're looking for a photographer who genuinely cares about capturing life's special moments while providing exceptional customer service, look no further than Kirk and Afterglow Images. Thank you, Kirk, for helping make my 60th birthday celebration so unforgettable. The photographs will forever remind me of an incredible milestone shared with the people I love most. I HIGHLY, HIGHLY recommend Kirk and Afterglow Images without hesitation!

Amazing videography and photography! Was very helpful in sharing knowledge of the Niagra area, I would highly recommend. Timing on getting the videos and photos back was super quick, less then 3 days. Very creative in photo ideas and locations around the area.

Kirk did an amazing job with our engagement and wedding photos! He's an incredible photographer and very easy to work with - we aren't a couple that's super comfortable with photos and Kirk kept a relaxed and fun atmosphere the entire time!

I am so blown away by the photos Kirk captured at our ceremony. Our wedding was small and he felt like another guest. He was so much fun to work with and managed to wrangle our rowdy group with ease. I can’t say enough good things. It’s no wonder he has so many glowing reviews (no pun intended). Great photographer and even better guy! 10 stars!!!

We had our wedding at Pillar and Post this past December and we couldn’t be happier to have picked Kirk as our photographer. For how crazy the day of your wedding can be you need someone like him who is calm and can go with the flow to help balance things out. We got incredible photos from the start of the day until the end of the night on the dance floor. Our guests also couldn’t stop raving about how great Kirk was that day and how he looked like he was having fun out there too. We couldn’t be happier with picking Kirk.
