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.

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!!

My unnamed photographer cancelled 2 days before my engagement, and Afterglow was able to save my plans. The photos turned out amazing. Huge thank you to Kirk
Every cent spent on 1 hour of photos was worth it. It was very fun getting all the photos and the Photographer was very professional and helpful.
I highly recommend Afterglow Images for your photography needs.

I don't think there is anything we can say that would truly capture just how stunning our wedding photos by Kirk turned out! Kirk is not only a phenomenal talent, but he is also a gem of a human; he was very easy to work with, kind, and we enjoyed having him around to capture all the special moments of our day. The best part of our photos is the true magic of the *feeling* that was our wedding. We are a blended family and the photos of our families and kids are just so beautiful. Kirk was able to memorialize our wedding day in such a remarkable way, we will cherish these photos forever. I should also include that if you are critical of yourself or not a fan of having your pictures taken, you will not regret choosing Kirk to help renew that confidence. He is magic. Highly highly recommend Afterglow Images.

I wish I could give Afterglow/Kirk more than five stars. He did an absolutely incredible job capturing our wedding. The photos turned out more beautiful than I imagined. He captured all the little, important moments of the wedding, and I couldn't be more happy with how everything turned out. He was so easy and lovely to work with. I would highly, highly recommend Kirk for your wedding day. Thank you, Kirk!

We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer than Kirk! He captured our Niagara on the Lake beach wedding in August 2025 so beautifully; every moment, every laugh, and every detail of our love. Kirk was funny, engaging, patient, and wonderful with our kids, making everyone feel completely at ease in front of the camera. Kirk has such an incredible eye for light and scenery. He knew exactly how to make the most of the beach setting and all the natural backdrops around us. The photos are stunning and feel so authentic to who we are as a couple. I highly recommend Kirk to anyone looking for a talented, kind, and creative photographer.
