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.
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.

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.

Kirk was amazing! We were so nervous the morning of our wedding. When he arrived he took over and just made the whole experience so much fun. Really easy to work with and made my wife so comfortable. Oh let’s not forget the photos came out gorgeous. A gem truly!

Kirk did an amazing job on our secret engagement at Niagara Falls. Showed up well before time to capture the most emotional moments. He utilized the natural light and shadows to make the pictures look heavenly. Couldn’t thank him enough!!
What an absolutely stunning wedding at @peninsularidgecoachhouse the historic house on top of the hill is like a Beacon calling us all to the shade under those century-old trees. A sunset ceremony followed by a quiet stroll around the property is the perfect way to start life together. There`s something magical and deeply moving about this place. I can`t wait to come back again! #afterglowweddings . . #niagaraphotographer #weddingphotos #niagaraweddings #vineyard…
