A wedding photographer, and so much more.

Yes, authentic photographs that feel like you, but above all, a personal experience, thoughtful guidance and results that goes beyond what you expected.

More than photographs: an experience.

Let me put my experience to work for you and your wedding day.

I take the time to get to know you. Our pre-wedding session lets me show you how I help you feel comfortable in front of the camera. I also help you build a timeline that respects what you want and gives you room to be fully present.

On your wedding day, I know when to guide, when to reassure you and when to simply let life unfold. I make space for the milestones without missing the quiet gestures, knowing looks and tears of joy.

I am there for you from our first conversation to the moment I deliver your album.

Guidance that begins well before your wedding day.

Trust grows with time. I want to have fun with you, to make you laugh, guide you and, above all, give you a genuinely good experience. During your pre-wedding session, we talk about your timeline, your guests, what you love and what truly matters to you. It is also my chance to show you that you are beautiful and you really can look and feel like yourselves in photographs.

By your wedding day, we already know one another. You feel comfortable and confident. You know I have the day’s timeline in mind, that I am there for you and that your photographs will live up to the day.

I guide you when it helps. I watch, anticipate and allow emotions, laughter and moments to exist without interrupting them.

At the reception, you can also treat yourselves and your guests to a custom photobooth.

Every part of my approach has been carefully considered and refined so you can be fully present at your wedding. However broad the photographic story may be, I take care of it.

Live in the moment.
I’ll take care of its story.

In the days after your wedding, I send you a preview gallery with a few dozen photographs. While you wait for the complete story, I edit each of the several hundred photographs in your final gallery individually and by hand.

Then I welcome you to my home to present the finished work: your wedding photographs. You choose your favourites, and we take the time to design your custom album together. Large-format prints, thank-you cards or a keepsake slideshow video? I can take care of those too.

What they experienced.

« David is a sensitive man with an enormous heart who gave himself fully to our event. He captured unforgettable moments with us, our family and our friends during our life-sharing ceremony.

He listened closely throughout the process, and we greatly appreciated his professionalism. I strongly recommend him for your project, especially a wedding.

When he presented the photographs and video, we cried tears of joy as we relived that magnificent day. The photographs, video, album and prints were one enormous wow.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, David. »

Frequently asked questions

How would you describe your photographic style?

I work much like a photojournalist, capturing your emotions, the atmosphere and your guests as things happen to create natural, authentic photographs. My editing is bright, with colours that remain true to life.

What is the pre-wedding photo session?

It is a one-hour session valued at $350, held before your wedding at a time that suits you. It lets us get to know one another, helps you become comfortable with the way I work and gives you greater confidence going into the day.

When will we receive our photographs?

Your photographs are delivered two to eight weeks after the wedding, generally within three to four weeks. I care about delivering promptly without ever compromising the attention given to your story.

Will we receive the digital files?

Yes. Every photograph is delivered in a private gallery where you can download and share it with your loved ones. You are also free to make your own prints.

Can we customize our album?

Of course. Together, we choose the photographs, layout, cover material and colour. The album is designed as an object that feels like you and that you will still want to open years from now.

Do you offer shorter coverage for intimate weddings?

Yes. I love intimate weddings. Tell me about your day in the form and I can suggest coverage that fits.

When will we receive the guide and your reply?

Once the guide is finalized, it will be emailed immediately after a valid wedding enquiry. I will reply personally within 24 hours.
