SHM Photography is the confirmed current identity for the existing Shm Photography Group listing. For couples looking for a Toronto wedding photographer, the official site identifies Mona Raissi and Shervin Yektaparast as the team behind the studio and includes weddings among its photography work.

The studio’s current website has a broader photography focus that also includes food, product, interior, portrait and family work. Its wedding information is concise rather than package-led, so this profile separates what the studio publishes from the practical details couples should request before making a booking decision. Last reviewed: August 12, 2026.

Current identity and profile scope

The official business website uses the name SHM Photography, matching the distinctive “Shm” and “Photography” elements of this existing CWG page. The site names Mona Raissi and Shervin Yektaparast as the people behind the business and describes them as a creative duo with backgrounds in art and industrial design.

This profile is therefore for the current SHM Photography website, not an assumption that every detail in the earlier directory record remains current. The official site presents weddings as one part of a multi-service photography practice; it does not publish a dedicated wedding package page in the material reviewed.

Confirmed current brand: SHM Photography.
Named team: Mona Raissi and Shervin Yektaparast.
Wedding photography is listed on the official website.

Services and specialization

SHM Photography’s homepage and About page list weddings and family stories alongside portraits, food and product photography, interiors and architecture. For wedding enquiries, the contact page specifically invites visitors to discuss weddings as a project type.

The official site does not set out a wedding-day coverage format, a photography style label, a second-photographer option, albums, engagement sessions or a stated number of delivered images. Couples should treat those as questions for a direct consultation rather than assumed inclusions.

The studio also describes a process involving clear briefs, moodboards, efficient shoots and consistent delivery. Those statements describe its general way of working; the site does not explain how each step is adapted for a wedding.

Published wedding-related service: photography for weddings.
Other published photography areas include portraits, family stories, food, product and interiors.
Wedding-specific deliverables are not itemized online.

Service area and who it may suit

The official contact page states that SHM Photography works in Toronto and the GTA. Its listed studio is in Richmond Hill, which may be useful for couples planning a Toronto- or GTA-based celebration and wanting to ask about a consultation or logistics before the event.

The website’s mix of wedding, portrait and commercial work may suit couples who are comfortable beginning with a project brief rather than selecting a pre-published wedding collection. It may be less convenient for couples who need to compare exact coverage hours, inclusions and prices online before contacting a photographer.

The site mentions Canada-wide shipping only for product shoots. That is not evidence of wedding travel availability, so destination or out-of-region wedding work should be confirmed directly.

Published area: Toronto and the GTA.
Studio address is published in Richmond Hill.
Wedding travel beyond the stated area is not published.

Confirmed strengths and practical limitations

A documented strength is the clearly identified two-person team: the About page names Mona Raissi and Shervin Yektaparast and notes their art and industrial-design background. The same page includes weddings among the subjects they photograph, while the homepage refers to wedding storytelling with relaxed direction.

Another documented feature is a structured general workflow. The studio says it uses briefs and moodboards and aims for consistent delivery. This can give couples a useful starting point for discussing visual references, a family-photo list and timing expectations.

The main practical limitation is the lack of wedding-specific detail on the current site. There is no published sample wedding gallery, package comparison, coverage duration, delivery timetable, contract summary, contingency plan or confirmation of whether both team members attend each event. Missing online detail is not a negative finding; it simply means those points need a written answer.

Confirmed feature: named creative duo.
Confirmed feature: general brief-and-moodboard workflow.
Practical limitation: wedding-specific terms and deliverables are not published.

Pricing

Current pricing is not explicitly published. The official website does not provide a wedding starting price, package total, hourly rate, tax treatment, retainer, payment schedule or add-on list.

The contact form asks for a budget range along with project type, location, timeline and deliverables. Couples can use those fields to request a written, wedding-specific estimate, then compare the proposed coverage and usage terms with other Toronto wedding photographers.

Do not rely on historic directory prices or unaffiliated listings as current SHM Photography pricing. Ask for the date the quote is valid through and whether any travel, overtime, editing, album, print or tax charges are additional.

Current prices are not published on the official pages reviewed.

Published wedding starting price: not listed.
Published wedding package price: not listed.
Best next step: request a written quote based on the event details.

Contact and booking

SHM Photography directs prospective clients to its online contact form. The form is designed to collect project type, location, timeline, deliverables and budget range, and the page says the studio will reply within 24 hours. This is the current published route for beginning a wedding enquiry.

The official contact page publishes the studio address but does not display a usable phone number in the reviewed page content. For that reason, this profile does not repeat the legacy phone number. Use the official website contact form and retain copies of any quote or booking correspondence.

When contacting the studio, include the wedding date, ceremony and reception locations, approximate guest count, required coverage window, key events, desired deliverables and any accessibility or cultural-event considerations. That gives the studio enough context to advise on fit and availability.

Official booking route: online contact form.
Published studio: 190 Harding Blvd W, Unit 146, Richmond Hill.
A current phone number was not confirmed on the official site.

What couples should confirm

Before booking, ask SHM Photography for a wedding-specific proposal that identifies who will photograph the event, the coverage hours, the number and format of final images, editing scope, delivery method and expected turnaround time. Request links to recent complete wedding galleries if portfolio review is important to your decision.

Clarify the financial and contractual details in writing: total price, HST, retainer, payment dates, overtime, travel and parking, rescheduling or cancellation terms, backup equipment, backup photographer arrangements, insurance if a venue requires it, and image-use permissions. Also confirm whether an engagement session, second photographer, prints or albums are available and priced separately.

Finally, discuss the day-of plan. A short timeline, formal-group list, venue photo restrictions, portrait locations and a weather alternative can help determine whether the studio’s approach and proposed coverage match your event.
