My name is George Varvarigos,
I’m the Owner and Lead Photographer of George V Photography

A few words about me and my Company.

When I was 14 years old, I picked up my first camera and my love for photography began in the beautiful country where I was born, Greece. From there I was captivated and fascinated  with my surroundings by capturing moments, people, natural beautiful landscapes and anything that was intriguing in that moment. I began to cultivate my skills with my new found love and passion for photography by constantly learning and progressing with every photo that I took.

My eagerness for perfection drove me to experiment with different techniques to essentially identify the style that represented my work – a combination of both documentary and artistic photography. I love using natural light in my work but when I am limited, thru my experience I rely on a number of tested lighting techniques to ensure the moment that I am looking to capture is not jeopardized. I go back to fundamentals learned thru my experience that it’s about the quality and not the quantity of light.  My photos are inspired by light, color, a creative perspective and of course, most importantly, the personalities of the people I photograph.

In 2012, two years after moving to Toronto, Canada, my perseverance, drive and desire drove me to follow my dreams and create George V Photography – a photography company that specializes primarily in Wedding along with Baptisms and Corporate Events.  We are a team of professional photographers who all take a documentary and artistic approach because we are storytellers. Cultivating connections with our clients is how we understand your own personal vision and objectives and translate that into your beautiful story. We use our creativity to capture images that will make you laugh, cry, feel beautiful, and instantly bring back the memory of each idyllic moment of your wedding day every time you look at them.

Testimonials

My husband and I had our wedding on Oct 10th. We have seen some initial photos that were taken and they are incredible. They came out very well and were creative with all the different angles and poses. George is very passionate about photography and it shows since he creates masterpieces with amazing detail. We would definitely recommend him for any special occasion. George makes you feel at ease and makes the day fun as he is easy going, creative and humorous. As a bride I did not get nervous or feel uncomfortable. We both enjoyed taking our photos and can't wait to see the rest of them.

Nicky Courbetis

We hired George to do our son's baptism. He was a very pleasant man, and his demeanour was professional. He was very patient, didn't rush, and like a true photographer, wanted to find the best shot.
He also gives you different options on how to obtain your photos. I like the fact that I was able to save them all to my hard drive.
Overall, I was very satisfied with George. And I highly recommend his work to anyone who is in need of a photographer.
Thanks again for everything!
