About - Angie the Photographer

Welcome & hello

I am Angelina Aristodemo. I was born and raised in Toronto into a beautiful Italian family. My parents are immigrants from Italy and were both professional tailors. Clothing and fashion were a part of my day to day. When invited to an event my first thoughts are what am I going to wear? I have been a professional lifestyle photographer for over two decades but who's counting. My love for photos and art was there from the start. My favorite pastime as a child was looking at old photos from my parents' childhood in Italy; those timeless nostalgic photos have never gone out of style for me.

I am a collector of books. Actually a big collector of art books. Whatever the occasion, adding to my collection is a must. In fact I have collected so many books that I fully embrace the practice of Tsundoku - a term that translates as “leaving a book unread after buying it, typically piled up with other unread books.”

In my professional world, I photograph people/portraiture, objects & places. I hope to infuse a style and approach to my work that is as nostalgic as the photos I viewed as a child.

My experience

With over 20+ years of experience behind the camera, I've had the privilege of working on a diverse range of projects and collaborations. I've shot everything from intimate weddings to grand events, and all things in between. Each opportunity has enriched my skills and expanded my creative horizons. I approach every project with dedication, professionalism, and a commitment to exceeding expectations. I'm always up for a creative commission.

FAMILIES AND GENERATION

My photography isn't just about capturing moments; it's about capturing the essence of family to create timeless images. Working closely with families, I become more than just a photographer—I become a part of their journey. I've worked closely with families over the generations and developed close relationships that allow me to document not just milestones but all special family moments with a more personal touch. These bonds I've created make my clients feel at ease in front of the camera so that I can capture not just faces, but the bonds, emotions, and stories that bind generations together.

Testimonials

"Worked with Angelina to do pictures for our wedding. From our first meeting, Angelina took the time to take us through options as reassure us that she would be fully available that day, and leading up if we had questions. She was on top of things, calm and collective, and reassuring - all the things we needed when planning a wedding. Just knowing I didn't have to worry about pictures anymore was a relief. She showed up early and took the time to get all the great shots. There was a variety of indoor and outdoor shots, candid and posed. During the ceremony, she made sure to get the best shots, while not interfering with the ceremony. She also checked with us to make sure we had her get all the people we wanted photographed. She let us know before she was leaving so we were aware. I would highly recommend working with Angelina."
