Aaron Desilva

photo + videographer

how it started

I spent years deep in the music industry, traveling, hosting events, and living on the road with my band. When we hired someone to document a tour and it didn't work out, I grabbed the camera myself. that was the beginning of everything.

I started shooting behind the scenes for a creative editorial shoot. one thing led to the next. soon i was directing music videos across north america, building a visual language from stages, studios, and late nights.
About Us
About Us
After 10+ years of shooting and being fluent in the energy of live events, weddings came naturally. I already knew how to read a room, anticipate a moment, and disappear into the chaos without missing a thing.

That background is why my work doesn't look like typical wedding photography. it's got the rhythm of a concert, the intimacy of a backstage moment, and the intention of someone who chose this craft. I love what I do, and its all part of a never ending evolution.

The duo

My wife Danika Lee brings a whole other element to every shoot. She's a photographer, content creator, and the founder of AKUA Swim, a luxury fashion brand she built from scratch. her attention to detail is beyond anyone i've ever met. the angles, the styling, the tiny moments that most people walk right past, she sees all of it.

About Us
About Us
When we work together, we play off each other's energy. two cameras, two perspectives, nothing missed. We move differently, we see differently, and that shows up in the final work. We also blend in completely. By the end of the night it's hard to leave because everyone wants to party with us. That's not a sales pitch, it's just what happens when two people who genuinely love what they do, show up together.

Testimonial

Our film photos are truly my favorite photos in the world.

Paige Dellerman

"It’s hard to put into words just how grateful we are for Aaron. From the moment we first connected, his calm and joyful presence made us feel completely at ease and so, so excited - we knew we were in the best hands. Aaron wasn’t just a videographer; he truly became part of the day, capturing every moment with genuine heart, creativity, and care. His eye for detail and storytelling is unmatched. Watching our wedding film brings us right back to the magic of that day, and it’s something we’ll treasure forever. Our film photos are truly my favorite photos in the world. We can’t thank him enough for preserving those memories so beautifully, and for being so incredible fun. I would recommend Aaron and his team a million times over- my only regret is not paying for more film photos! Truly the best of the best."

He captures YOU - your essence, your spirit, your weird and wild and wondrous self. And there is nothing more empowering than being witnessed - and having physical art to remind you of your own radiance.Somehow, every. single. time. He captures you not as the world expects you to be, but as you actually are: radiant, raw, beautiful.Aaron will always be my favourite."

Aaron is a next-level creative!

Katie Trimingham

"Aaron is a next-level creative who truly makes every wedding day better just by being there. I’ve had the pleasure of working closely with him for the past two years, and he’s become an essential part of my core vendor team. From the moment he arrives, he brings a relaxed, upbeat energy that instantly puts everyone at ease, something every wedding needs!His photography style is light, vibrant, and full of joy. He captures not just the big, emotional moments, but the quiet, candid ones too. He blends seamlessly into the day, making people feel comfortable and delivering galleries that our couples are always thrilled with. His turnaround time is unreal! Truly the fastest I’ve ever seen without compromising quality.Aaron is responsive, professional, and just genuinely fun to work with. His amazing fiancée Dani often joins him on wedding days, and she’s just as lovely. Together, they’re the power team every planner dreams of. Oh, and did I mention he’s also a DJ? The good vibes literally never stop!I recommend Aaron to every couple with full confidence. He’s talented, reliable, and an all-around fantastic human (with a fantastic sidekick) to have by your side."
