hey guys, us again!! 🤍
We’re so excited to share this wedding tips & tricks video all about how to get the BEST reception photos possible, think candid moments, emotional reactions, and epic party shots you’ll actually feel when you look back on them ✨
Here are a few of our biggest tips to elevate your reception photography:
1. Seat your VIPs strategically�Have your CLOSE friends and most expressive guests sitting near where speeches and first dances will be taking place. These are the people who will laugh, cry, cheer, and react — which makes for the most authentic, emotional, storytelling photos. Guest placement truly makes a huge difference in capturing those candid moments.
2. Stay on the dance floor�Once the dance floor opens… stay on it!! The couple sets the tone for the entire party — we always say the energy follows you. If you’re out there dancing, your guests will be too, and that’s when we capture those fun, high-energy, unforgettable party photos. Think packed dance floor, movement, joy, and real celebration vibes.
3. Lighting matters more than you think�Try to avoid harsh blue, purple, or red uplighting during dinner and first dances. These colors can cast strong tones on skin and are tricky to photograph cleanly. Warm, neutral lighting (like soft amber or candlelight tones) creates a much more flattering, timeless look and helps your photos feel elegant and true-to-life. Trust us on this one — it makes a BIG difference.
We can’t wait to capture all of this for you, it’s going to be SUCH a vibe 🥂

Kristen & Vince — WHAT. A. WEDDING. 💃🌴
A week full of margaritas, dancing, a bit toooo much sun,endless friendships… and not a dry eye during the ceremony 🥹
It’s been such an honour to witness your love over the years. Watching you both grow into the incredible people you are today has meant so much to Ben and me. You bring out the quirkiest, cutest sides of each other and it’s the kind of love that just makes everyone around you smile.
Here’s to a lifetime of friendship, endless adventures, and many, many years of love 🥂

While engagement shoots aren’t something we typically get around to posting, they are by far some of my favourite sessions. Getting to meet our couples in person, shoot the s**t, and learn about who they are and what brings them joy is one of the most beautiful parts of this job.
Huge shoutout to Rebecca and Niall, who absolutely crushed this one. Can’t wait for their wedding this summer 🤍✨

Fall weddings in Montreal just hit different.
September is basically wedding Super Bowl season here, and honestly? It makes sense.
The weather is elite. You get the sunny, glowy days without melting in humidity, and nights are cool enough that you can throw on a cute blazer or leather jacket and not ruin the vibe. No one’s sweating through their dress. Hair actually holds. Makeup survives. We love to see it.
The trees start soft-launching fall, not full pumpkin spice yet, but the greens mellow out into muted oranges and warm tones that make everything look expensive. It’s giving romantic, but low-key.
And the light? Unreal. The days are a bit shorter, so golden hour shows up earlier, and you get that soft, consistent glow all afternoon. Photographers thrive. Skin looks good. Everyone looks like they’re in a Nancy Meyers movie but cooler.
Okay but now I’m nosy … why did you choose September? 🍸✨
