Montreal Wedding Photographer

weddings

  • Photography Style – Do you love light and airy images, classic and timeless portraits, or candid documentary-style shots? Make sure the photographer’s portfolio reflects the style you envision for your wedding.

    • Experience & Expertise – Weddings are fast-paced, and a skilled photographer knows how to handle different lighting conditions, unpredictable weather, and tight timelines while still capturing stunning images.

    • Personality & Connection – Your photographer will be with you throughout one of the most important days of your life. Choose someone whose personality puts you at ease, making the experience fun and stress-free.

    • Reviews & Testimonials – Check what past couples have said about working with them. A great photographer will have positive feedback about both their photos and their professionalism on the wedding day.

      Backup Plan – What happens if they are sick on your wedding day? Do they have backup equipment? A professional photographer will always have contingency plans in place.

  • It’s best to book your wedding photographer as early as possible, especially if you're getting married during peak wedding season (May to October). Most couples book their photographer 9 to 18 months in advance, with prime dates filling up quickly.

    Here’s a general guideline based on your wedding timeline:

    • 12-18 months before – Ideal for popular wedding months and sought-after photographers. If you have a specific photographer in mind, securing your date early ensures availability.

    • 9-12 months before – A safe window for most weddings, but top photographers may already be booked.

    • 6-9 months before – Possible, but options may be limited, especially for summer and fall weddings.

    • Less than 6 months – Last-minute bookings are possible, but availability will depend on the photographer’s schedule. If your dream photographer is unavailable, consider weekday or off-season dates.

    Pro Tip:

    Even if you're still finalizing your venue and other details, securing your photographer early means you’ll have someone who can guide you through the timeline, lighting considerations, and photo-friendly locations.

  • The number of hours you need depends on your wedding timeline, events, and priorities. Here’s a breakdown to help you decide:

    6 Hours – Essential Coverage

    Best for: Small weddings, elopements, or intimate celebrations

    • Covers the essentials: ceremony, couple & family portraits, and part of the reception

    • Limited getting-ready photos and no extensive reception coverage

    • Ideal if everything takes place at one location

    8 Hours – Most Popular Option

    Best for: Most traditional weddings

    • Covers getting ready, ceremony, couple & wedding party portraits, family formals, and key reception moments (first dance, cake cutting, toasts)

    • A well-balanced option that captures the full story without feeling rushed

    10+ Hours – Full-Day Coverage

    Best for: Larger weddings or couples who want every detail documented

    • Covers everything from getting ready to the grand exit

    • Allows for more candid moments, extended reception coverage, and travel between multiple locations

    • Ideal if you have cultural traditions, multiple venues, or want lots of dance floor action captured

    Factors to Consider:

    • Are you having a first look? (If so, more time is needed before the ceremony)

    • Do you have multiple locations? (Extra time may be required for travel)

    • Do you want full reception coverage? (Including dance floor action & the grand exit)

    • How big is your wedding party & family? (More people = more time for portraits)

    If you’re unsure, I’m happy to help create a custom photography timeline that ensures you get all the important moments captured without feeling rushed!

  • Yes. Our top two packages include an engagement session as a gift

  • Absolutely! While I naturally capture the key moments of your day, having a shot list ensures we don’t miss any must-have photos that are important to you. Here’s a general breakdown of essential wedding shots, but you’re welcome to customize it based on your preferences.

    Let’s chat about your wedding day vision, and we’ll create the perfect shot list together!

  • As a wedding photographer, light is everything, and we specialize in using natural and artificial light to create stunning, well-lit images in any situation. Whether it's dimly lit venues, nighttime receptions, or unexpected weather changes, we come prepared to ensure your photos are breathtaking.

    Low Light Situations

    • Mastering Natural Light – We are experts in finding and using available light creatively, whether it’s candlelit dinners, sunset ceremonies, or softly lit reception halls.

    • Professional Lighting Equipment – We always bring top-of-the-line flashes, strobes, and modifiers to enhance low-light scenes while keeping the ambiance natural and flattering.

    • Experience with Challenging Venues – Whether your venue has high ceilings, dark wood interiors, or moody lighting, we know how to adjust our techniques to maintain a bright and airy feel.

    Unstable Weather

    • Prepared for All Conditions – Whether it’s rain, snow, or overcast skies, we embrace the elements and find creative ways to turn them into magical photo opportunities.

    • Backup Plans & Indoor Alternatives – If outdoor plans shift, we scout beautiful indoor locations for portraits ahead of time to ensure seamless transitions.

    • Umbrellas & Lighting Adjustments – Rain or shine, we bring clear or stylish umbrellas for elegant rain shots and use external lighting to maintain the quality of our images.

    No matter the circumstances, our focus is always on capturing bright, timeless, and beautifully lit images so that your wedding photos feel as magical as your day itself. If you have specific concerns about your venue or weather conditions, let’s discuss how we can make the most of your unique wedding setting!

  • We know how excited you are to relive your wedding day, and we take great care to deliver beautifully edited images that capture every special moment. Here’s what you can expect:

    Delivery Timeline:

    • Sneak Peeks: Within5 business days after your wedding, we’ll send a few highlight images so you can share and enjoy a preview while we work on the full gallery.

    • Full Wedding Gallery: Our contract states a maximum of 4 months after the wedding day, but we do our best to deliver the images in about 8 to 10 weeks after the wedding day. We know you want your images as fast as possible, we just ask that you trust our process. Keep in mind that during high season we have less time to sit down and edit, but we will do everything we can to deliver your full gallery in a timely manner. We do not want to keep you waiting too long. Every photo is carefully selected and professionally edited to ensure the best quality.

    Why Does It Take This Long?

    Great wedding photography is about more than just taking pictures—it’s about crafting a story. We go through thousands of images, selecting the best ones and enhancing them to look their absolute best. Our editing process includes:
    Color correction & exposure adjustments
    Retouching to enhance skin tones & details
    Ensuring consistency across the entire gallery

    How Will You Receive Your Photos?

    You’ll receive a private online gallery where you can view, download, and share your images with family and friends, from any device of your choice. You can also order prints, albums, and some additional retouching if necessary.

    We put a lot of love into delivering the best possible images of your day, and we promise it’ll be worth the wait! If you ever have questions about your gallery status, feel free to reach out. We are known for always answering our clients fast😊

  • We absolutely love photographing destination weddings and are happy to travel anywhere to capture your special day! Our travel policy is designed to be transparent and straightforward, ensuring you get the best coverage without any surprises.

    How Travel Fees Work

    Our travel fees vary based on the location of your wedding and typically cover:
    Flights & Transportation – Round-trip airfare and/or car rental if necessary.
    Accommodation – A minimum of two nights stay (or more depending on the location and event schedule).
    Meals & Daily Expenses – Basic per diem costs for meals and incidentals.

    Driving vs. Flying

    For weddings within 650 km of Montreal, I am happy to drive instead of flying. In this case, a mileage fee of $0.65 per km (round trip) will be applied on top of the accommodation costs mentioned above. This option can be more cost-effective for certain locations and allows for greater flexibility.

    Destination Wedding Packages

    For weddings that require extensive travel (international or multiple-day events), we offer customized destination wedding packages that may include:

    • Full wedding day coverage + extra sessions (welcome dinner, day-after shoot, etc.)

    • No additional travel fees beyond what’s agreed upon upfront

    • Discounted engagement session for local couples before the wedding

    When Do We Book Travel?

    We typically book our own flights and accommodations to ensure flexibility, but we coordinate all details with you in advance. If your venue provides accommodations, we’re happy to discuss incorporating that into the agreement.

    If you’re planning a destination wedding, we’d love to hear more about your vision and create a custom photography experience for your big day! Let’s chat! 😊

  • Absolutely. We provide a detailed contract outlining all aspects of our services, ensuring clarity and mutual agreement on all terms. This protects both parties and sets clear expectations for your wedding photography.

  • We work with you to create a list of desired group shots before the wedding day. On the day, we coordinate efficiently to gather and photograph each group, ensuring these important images are captured smoothly and promptly.

  • In the unlikely event of an emergency that prevents us from attending your wedding, we have a network of trusted professional photographers we can call upon to ensure your day is still beautifully documented.

  • Upon delivery, you receive personal usage rights to your wedding photos, allowing you to print and share them for personal use. We may request permission to use select images for our portfolio or marketing, but only with your consent.

  • Certainly. We can provide access to full wedding galleries upon request, giving you a comprehensive view of our work across an entire event.
