Montreal 35mm Film Wedding Photographer

As a Montreal wedding photographer, to me, 35mm film isn’t just a trend; it’s an intentional art form with a timeless technicality that digital hasn’t replaced. Bringing an analog camera to a wedding requires a specific kind of presence and a slower, more deliberate eye. It’s about waiting for the right light, the genuine connections, and the raw emotions that digital can sometimes feel too "perfect" to capture. By prioritizing this documentary and candid approach, I’m able to deliver a gallery that feels like a true mirror to your memories—grainy, soulful, and entirely yours. My approach to a wedding day is rooted in a "less performance, more life" philosophy. I want you to feel entirely taken care of—comfortable enough to forget I’m there, yet confident that every subtle, honest moment is being preserved.



A Hybrid Approach to Iconic Montreal Wedding Venues

A hybrid photography approach offers the best of both worlds: the reliability of digital and the soulful, unposed realness of film. Whether it’s a quiet moment at Hotel William Gray or the architectural, vibrant energy of a reception at Le Cathcart, 35mm film captures the day exactly as it felt.

From the contemporary design of the Honeyrose Hotel to the timeless elegance of the Westbury Ballroom, I utilize a mix of digital and 35mm film to create a narrative that is less about performance and more about life. Below are some of my favourite analog frames from recent celebrations across Montreal—from the historic gardens of Château Ramezay in Old Montreal to the classic shores of Château Vaudreuil.
