Sian has a degree in Art History and Studio Arts from Concordia University in Montreal. Upon moving to Toronto after graduation, Sian was able to pursue her passion for photography by working as the first assistant to George Whiteside, one of Canada's top fashion and fine art photographers. She has been published numerous times, sold much of her work into private collections and has had several shows; including one in 2003 alongside her mentor George.
In 2002 she spent five months on the road shooting 'Pan Asia : Journeys in Asian Cuisine' for which she acted as the program host as well as the unit stills photographer. Sian always says that she felt like she won the lottery when she landed Pan Asia as it brought together all of her true passions in life; photography, food and travel. This program can be viewed on many networks worldwide including The Knowledge Network (Canada), BBC Travel (UK) and Star World (Asia).
Sian has photographed many weddings over the last few years. She likes to blend a natural, documentary approach that focuses on capturing the emotions of the day with some formal, set-up portraiture.
She loves photographing weddings because they are special, positive events. She says “it’s such a treat to shoot people who are looking and feeling their best - who are happy and glowing - and where the
environment is full of beauty and romance with great food and gorgeous flowers everywhere. It’s always a pleasure for me to be there and to play a part in capturing such a special day.”
