I’m Alissa Baltazar, an award-winning wedding photographer based in Brantford, Ontario. I specialize in creating cinematic, fashion-inspired wedding photography that’s perfect for couples seeking something unique and unforgettable. From Brantford to Hamilton, Cambridge, London, Port Dover, and beyond, I’m available to capture your special moments — no matter where your love takes you.
When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll probably find me hula-hooping or fire dancing — yes, I’m a bit of an adventurer at heart! I’m also a wife and a proud mom of two adorable kids who keep life full of joy, hugs, and spontaneous laughter. That mix of creativity and family love fuels my passion for exploring new ideas and embracing every moment with enthusiasm.
I blend elements of fine art and cinematic storytelling to create bold, emotional images that stand the test of time. Whether it’s a dramatic editorial portrait or a quiet, candid moment, my goal is to deliver images that feel like true works of art — beautiful, emotional, and uniquely yours.
My approach is deeply influenced by fashion and portrait photography. I focus on finding the most flattering angles and natural light to highlight your connection, your personalities, and the story of your day. Your wedding photos should feel cinematic, timeless and elegant, but most importantly 100% you.
As your Brantford wedding photographer, I offer a full range of professional services to help your day go smoothly and beautifully:
Candid storytelling and emotional moments
Artistic, editorial-style portraits
Professional family and group shots that become heirlooms
Creative direction to help you feel confident and natural on camera
High-resolution images delivered via private online gallery and USB
Full support from booking to final delivery
While weddings are the heart of what I do, I also specialize in branding photography and event coverage. I work with local businesses and creatives to produce eye-catching images for websites, social media, and marketing materials. I also capture corporate events, live performances, festivals, and special occasions with the same creativity and care.
I’m also the founder and editor of Zolota Bride, a Canadian wedding blog that celebrates unconventional weddings, diverse love stories, and out-of-the-box ideas. I feature vendor spotlights, planning tips, and real wedding inspiration to help couples create a wedding that reflects their style — not just the trends.
If you’re looking for a wedding photographer in Brantford or anywhere across Southern Ontario, I’d love to hear your story. Whether your dream day is big or small, elegant or wild, I’m here to capture it with heart and creativity. Let’s make photo magic together.
I was born in Ukraine and have loved photography for as long as I can remember. In 2015, I turned my passion into a profession. Since then, my work has been featured in several wedding and fashion magazines across Canada.
From 2018 to 2023, I worked as the head photographer for Neighbours of Ancaster, a lifestyle magazine published by Best Version Media. This experience deepened my love for community storytelling and sharpened my editorial style.
In 2021, I was named Best Event Photographer by Giggster, a leading Toronto platform for venues and creative professionals. Then, in 2023, I was proud to be awarded Best Wedding Photographer in Hamilton by Best for Bride.
Today, I’m also the official photographer and videographer for Hoop You Entertainment, capturing everything from corporate events to live performance shows.
