Curtis Moore, the creative force behind Moore Photography, is a seasoned storyteller who found his passion for capturing life's moments through the lens of a camera. Born in Saskatchewan and raised in Alberta, Curtis now calls Winnipeg home, where he resides with his two children, girlfriend, parents, two dogs, and occasionally, a hamster (though not all under the same roof!).

Curtis's journey into photography was serendipitous, stemming from his lifelong love affair with cinema, movies, and television. After initially pursuing a career in film, life took him on a different path through corporate sales. However, the birth of his daughter, Bethany, became the catalyst for his venture into photography and before he knew it, he found himself drawn into the world of weddings.

For Curtis, photographing weddings is akin to living out the captivating narratives he grew up watching on screen. Each wedding presents a unique story, a tapestry of emotions waiting to be captured. What drives Curtis isn't merely the act of photographing weddings but the profound impact his work has on couples. Witnessing the tears of joy as couples receive their wedding albums and hearing their heartfelt expressions of gratitude years later reaffirms Curtis's passion and purpose.

In our interview with Curtis, he shared insights into his journey as a wedding photographer. From his humble beginnings, photographing his daughter's milestones to gradually venturing into the world of weddings, Curtis's story is one of evolution and resilience. Embracing a philosophy of continuous learning, he sought guidance from industry leaders and wasn't afraid to learn from his mistakes along the way.

Curtis's style can be best described as "creative photojournalism." He approaches each wedding with a blend of spontaneity and direction, seamlessly weaving together candid moments with carefully orchestrated shots. His ability to find beauty in unexpected places and his knack for capturing the essence of each couple's story sets his work apart.

Beyond his local clientele, Curtis's talent has garnered attention internationally, with destination weddings taking him to exotic locales like Italy, Ireland, and New York. His work has been recognized through prestigious awards, opening doors to new opportunities and adventures.

Despite the demands of his profession, Curtis finds balance in family life, cherishing moments spent with his children and relishing in the pride they take in his work. As his children grow older, Curtis envisions a future where they might become part of his photography journey, perhaps even joining him as he captures the magic of weddings.
