Our Story
Shutter Up Studios began as a humble dream in the heart of Oakville, Ontario, back in 2010. Founded by Emily Carter, a passionate photographer with an unwavering love for capturing life's most precious moments, the studio started as a small operation run from her home. Emily’s vision was simple: to provide exceptional photography services that went beyond merely taking pictures, but rather, to tell stories through images. From the very beginning, Shutter Up Studios was built on the foundation of creativity, professionalism, and a personalized approach to every client.
As word of Emily's talent and dedication spread throughout the community, Shutter Up Studios quickly gained a reputation for excellence. What started as a solo endeavor soon blossomed into a thriving business, requiring the addition of talented photographers and dedicated staff. The studio moved into a larger space at 123 Main Street, Oakville, Ontario, L6J 2Z2, a location that allowed for a more comfortable and professional environment to serve clients. The new studio space provided ample room for portrait sessions, equipment storage, and client consultations, enabling Shutter Up Studios to expand its services and cater to a wider range of photographic needs.
Over the years, Shutter Up Studios has evolved into a renowned photography studio known for its commitment to quality and innovation. We've had the privilege of capturing countless weddings, family portraits, fashion shoots, and corporate events. Each project is approached with the same level of enthusiasm and attention to detail, ensuring that every client receives a truly unforgettable experience. Our journey has been filled with challenges and triumphs, but through it all, we've remained steadfast in our commitment to providing exceptional photography services that exceed expectations. We are proud to be a part of the Oakville community and look forward to capturing many more cherished memories for years to come.
