Celebration is how we honor our stories — the way we gather, the way we show up, the way we remember.
Not everything is meant to last forever, but some stories are too beautiful to forget.

Nice to Meet You!
Hey, I’m Pav
I’m an event photographer based in Edmonton, Alberta. My work is all about storytelling — capturing the energy, emotion, and beauty of moments you might not realize are happening.
After over a decade behind the camera, I’ve learned that most people love having great photos, but don’t love planning photoshoots. That’s why I created Origin Story Studio: to offer a photography experience that feels effortless and results in images that beautifully tell your story.
Events bring out a different kind of magic — you’re dressed up, in your element, and surrounded by the people who matter most. That natural energy can’t be staged, and that’s what makes event photography so powerful.
For those moments that call for something more intentional, I offer the Event Portrait Booth: a full studio setup brought right to your event. It’s elevated, editorial, and designed so you leave with something iconic.

This is the Portrait Booth.
Not a backdrop in the corner. Not a party favor.
It’s a professional studio setup at your event — where every guest gets a portrait they’ll want to frame.
Because when people are dressed to impress, feeling themselves, and already in the moment…
Why not give them the best photo they’ve ever had?
The booth hits different. See it in action.

This is the Portrait Booth
It looks out of place in the best possible way.
It doesn’t sit off to the side. It becomes the side of the room people gravitate towards—drawn by curiosity, by presence, by the sense that something special is happening.
It’s not just beautiful. It’s built to hold attention. Drapery, framing, lighting—all composed with intention. A space you step into, not walk past.
And once you’re in it, something shifts.
People lean in. They laugh louder. They stay a little longer. Because when the setup invites you to show up fully, you do.
The booth doesn’t sit in the background.
It becomes the moment people remember most.
See it in action.

What You Might Be Wondering
Nothing complicated, just the important stuff.
Is this a photo booth or… something else?
Let’s just say this isn’t the kind of booth you find next to the cotton candy. This is a full studio setup: professional strobe lighting, a sleek backdrop, and a photographer (hi, that’s me) who knows how to direct a damn good shot. Every guest walks away with a portrait — not a party favor, but a legacy.
Do you shoot the rest of the event too?
Absolutely. From the first cheers to the last dance — I’m there. The Portrait Booth is just one piece of what I do. My event photography captures everything else: the big entrances, quiet glances, the unfiltered chaos of celebration. You’ll get it all.
How do people usually react to the booth?
Like they just saw themselves in 4K for the first time. I’ve heard everything from “I look famous” to “I didn’t know I could look like that.” The setup brings out something extra — maybe it’s the lighting, maybe it’s the energy. But yeah, people eat it up.
What’s the process to book?
Reach out 🙂 We’ll talk about your event, make sure I’m the right fit, and go from there. I only take on a limited number of events so that every one gets the attention it deserves — so if you’re thinking about it, don’t wait too long.
Click the “reserve my date” link (above) or feel free to send me an email and we can get started right away.
Do you only shoot in black & white?
Not at all! I just love the timeless feel of B&W. I chose it for the website to create a focused, cohesive look that highlights emotion and story. Your gallery will be mostly in color, with a few key shots delivered in black and white when it adds something extra.
