Candid Toronto Wedding Photography that feels like home

The MAGIC lives in the quiet,
                                          UNSCRIPTED moments 

Forget the stiff poses! I guide you through natural movement and genuine connection, so you can stop performing and simply start "BEING"

ABOUT ME

Hey There!

My name is April Sacko and I'm so glad you found your way here. Since I was a kid, I've always had a knack for creating. Now, I’m lucky enough to do what I love for a living—capturing those fleeting moments that stir up all the feels. I thrive on observing people and forming genuine connections that reflect their true selves. Capturing a moment in time that truly encapsulates a person's character is what motivates me the most! I mean, really - how cool is that?

When I'm not behind the camera, you’ll probably spot me pulling a wagon with my two kiddos and our ol' pup, with a snack in one hand and a steaming cup of bulletproof coffee in the other. I’m all about exploring untouched trails, indulging in delicious brunches with my hubby, and flipping antique furniture just for fun. Life is a beautiful adventure, and I feel so blessed to live it!

"We’ve used Olive Studio to photograph all our major life milestones since our engagement and April never disappoints. Not only is she a lovely human, she is truly so talented and makes every session comfortable and effortless. I couldn’t recommend her enough!"

THE
EXPERIENCE

ARE WE A GOOD FIT?

When it comes to photography, my goal is to capture you as your TRUE SELF. As a photojournalist, I have a keen eye for beautiful details and stunning light. While I’ll definitely take some posed shots, my real passion lies in capturing those candid moments when you’re relaxed and forgetting I’m even there. Whether it's that sweet glance shared with your partner, a quick kiss on the cheek from your dad, or a funny inside joke with your best friend, I’m here to document it all. (but also make sure that ugly pot-light is not cast over your nose, or a closet is open in the background - DETAILS MATTER!)

I like to think of myself as a friendly observer, patiently waiting for those natural moments to happen. No matter if you’re someone who loves the camera or feels a bit awkward in front of it, my mission is to help you feel secure, relaxed, and most importantly—having a blast! You'll forget I'm there as I guide you with prompts tailored to your personality. Together, we'll create images that are as unique as you are. Anyone can snap a picture of you smiling at the camera, but it takes a special observer to capture those candid, authentic moments that you’ll cherish forever. Remember, this is an investment in memories that will last a lifetime. Your photographer should be chosen carefully. You should just "vibe" together as much as you can imagine yourself in the images of their portfolio.
