Auberge de la Montagne Coupée – MP + T Wedding

wedding inn mountain coupee wedding 01

It was at the Auberge de la Montagne Coupée in Saint-Jean-de-Matha that Marie-Pier and Tommy chose to say "I do" last August. Many loved ones, family, and friends were there to witness this long-awaited day! After several years together—and two boys later—they were united on a beautiful, warm summer day. They chose each other again by exchanging touching and heartfelt vows. I started the day by joining them at the inn, in the two chalets they had reserved for the weekend. The chalets being side-by-side made it very convenient to avoid unnecessary travel.

You can't really see what's on the guys' boxers in the photo above. But Tommy had boxers made for each of the groomsmen with his face on them. It was really funny when they put them on, and yes, they gave me permission to publish the photo!

Throughout the day, the bridesmaids would start singing the same song to relax and make Marie-Pier laugh. And then me too, because I couldn't stop laughing.

Marie-Pier's MAGNIFICENT dress was taken at Vézina Creations in Laval. She kept it a surprise for her guests by changing her outfit in the evening. She chose a lighter dress from the Mariclod Boutique, Located in St-Lin in the Laurentians. Discover her dress change at the bottom of the post!

The bride was determined to take a quick 5 minutes before the ceremony for a "first look" with her father. A moment that is always filled with emotion!

Outdoor ceremony at the Auberge de la Montagne Coupée

When the bride arrived on the immense terrace, with its breathtaking view of St-Jean-de-Matha and its stunning landscapes, the groom could only have eyes for her. Tommy was moved to tears, and Marie-Pier was also holding back her emotions, so longed for and dreamed of was this moment.

Marie-Pier wore the perfect dress for the ceremony. It had a veil that hung from the straps of her dress. The wind, quite strong in the mountains, gave the veil a truly beautiful effect.

What a breathtaking view! I've rarely had the pleasure of seeing a wedding in such a beautiful setting. I remember at the beginning of the ceremony, when I arrived next to the groom, we were looking at the mountains together, moved by such magnificent beauty. And Tommy said to me, "This is something else, isn't it?" Wow, yes!

The bride and groom performed the ritual of giving a red rose to their mothers to thank them for everything they had done for them throughout their lives.

The most emotional moment of the ceremony was undoubtedly the release of the butterflies, in memory of loved ones who had passed away. Everyone was crying!

Under the watchful eye of Maryse Noël de Maryse CreationEverything went as planned. Being a regular at "big" weddings and at the Auberge de la Montagne Coupée, she came to take a look from the balcony to make sure everything was on schedule.

A "Room Reveal" at the Auberge de la Montagne Coupée

Decorated by the talented Maryse and the florist Walter Guiet of W Floral designThe Mimosa room at the top of the Auberge was magnificent! With its large windows overlooking the surrounding mountains, it offered a 180-degree view. The room is perched on one of the highest natural viewpoints, amidst centuries-old trees. The black, white, and gold decor complemented the centerpieces featuring long calla lilies. Everything was thoughtfully designed by the experienced decorator.

A wedding reception hosted by Robert Applyrs

I had high expectations for Marie-Pier and Tommy's wedding at the Auberge de la Montagne Coupée. I'd wanted to go there for a long time, and I wasn't disappointed. When the bride first contacted me by phone to book her photos and videos, she asked for recommendations for an MC and DJ. I then recommended Robert from The Applyrs XperienceSomeone I often recommend and with whom I always have wonderful evenings! He's festive, professional, relaxed, funny, and gives it his all. Accompanied by his faithful collaborator, DJ Kamistry, they make a dynamic duo! The evening flew by with various activities, games, and speeches. Everyone was having a great time and happy to celebrate with the newlyweds.

Imagine my surprise when I arrived at the reception venue to see the photos I'd taken during the couple's engagement shoot. I could almost call it a shock, the photos were so large, I think they were 4 by 8 feet. They set the tone for the evening. Several guests were impressed and mentioned them to me during the reception.

My boyfriend, who was filming the event, and I had the pleasure of staying very late into the evening, right up until the bouquet toss and the garter toss. I held back a little when it came to the garter photos, Tommy was really going for it haha!

Golf Course of the Cerf WEDDING – Church of the Holy Family

wedding photographer Golf Course du Cerf

Chloé & Alexandre's wedding took place at the Golf Parcours du Cerf on the South Shore of Montreal last June. I met the couple at the end of summer 2024 and it clicked with them right away! They are so friendly and cute together, how could you not love them? Plus, we shared our love of cats already during our first Zoom meeting haha! Chloé mentioned to me then how much she had fallen in love with the Sainte-Famille Church in Boucherville, where the ceremony took place. And with good reason! What a magnificent church! So my day began by going to join the lovers on the South Shore of Montreal for their preparations. They were both getting dressed at their respective parents' houses. They were only about ten minutes apart.

 

bridal accessories

All the beautiful floral creations of the day were created by the florist The Grace of Flowers, located in Laval.

It wasn't planned, but the bride did a "first look" with her dad and it was really beautiful to see!

Having chosen her sister as her best man and maid of honor, Chloé invited several friends over for a small lunch just before the ceremony. Being of Lebanese origin, there was a bit of traditional dancing to get into the mood. It was quite festive!

Wedding ceremony at the Church of the Holy Family in Boucherville

I know the Sainte-Famille Church in Boucherville from having photographed several weddings there over the years. It's spectacular! Built in 1801, it's even classified as a heritage building! I love its interior as much as the exterior. It's crazy all the little details it contains: there's even an organ! The light that comes in is super beautiful and it makes for beautiful photos because it's very bright! Alexandre was feverishly waiting for his beautiful Chloé. She had told him that he absolutely had to cry haha!

Right after the group photo, we invited the bride and groom's parents for family photos on the side of the imposing building. Adoring the church, the bride and groom also wanted to take some of their couple photos there. Since the lovers didn't have a large procession, we had more time for their photos together. We stayed around the church for about twenty minutes, I think, before heading to the Parcours du Cerf in Longueuil.

Couple photos on the Golf Course du Cerf in Longueuil

I must admit that I always find it fun to go for a ride in a cart! My assistant drives, so I can easily spot beautiful spots so we can stop for a few minutes and take pictures. Plus, Chloé and Alexandre are naturals in front of the camera, it was also a real joy to photograph their chemistry! They met in high school and apparently Alexandre noticed the beautiful Chloé quite young. It took him a long time before he was able to approach her. And now, they are one of the cutest couples whose big day I have had the chance to immortalize! They are also so kind, funny, intelligent and empathetic!

Friends and family were invited in the evening for a full party. There was traditional Arabic dancing at the beginning of the entrance to the room. This allowed me to photograph many beautiful moments with the guests. They were so happy to be there to witness the lovers' wedding. The room at the Golf Parcours du Cerf is very bright and large. This allowed for majestic, very chic centerpieces. And what about the many flowers, especially around the bride and groom's table? They all came from the florist The Grace of Flowers downstream.

The evening went by in a flash! Everyone was festive, and the speeches were each more touching than the last! We also played the table game. This involves placing the bride and groom on the dance floor and calling each table one after the other to come and stand around them and take a picture or two! This can be fun depending on the mood of the guests. It encourages people to be creative and stand out as well!

Notice the bride's dress change? She slipped out after the first dance to change into a less heavy and imposing gown, so she could enjoy the dance floor!

Cutting the wedding cake

I will always remember that moment when we cut the cake. Miguel, my boyfriend, was also filming that day. So we were alone with the bride and groom for the cutting and they offered us their pieces. I thought it was so kind and thoughtful! We couldn't believe it! Chloe then told me a few weeks later, that if they had known the photos would come out so well, they would have had a bigger cake haha!

In short, everything was perfect that day. We loved everything: from the kindness of the bride and groom to the pleasure of spending time with their friends and family!

Canal Space – M + M Wedding

It was at Espace Canal & L'Ambroisie that M+M exchanged their vows almost a year ago! I ran out of time to blog this wedding, which was one of my favorites from last year. I knew that choosing photos would be difficult because I find the lovers so photogenic. And then, what can I say about their complicity and the little hearts they have in their eyes when they look at each other! Looking back at their photos, I replay in my head this beautiful day spent in their presence.

So I began this wonderful, sunny day by going to join the groom at his parents' home. He was getting ready there, in a rather relaxed manner, with his three groomsmen.

Wedding preparations at Château St-Ambroise

Once the guys' portraits were completed, I headed to Château St-Ambroise. The bride and her "squad" were having their hair and makeup done there. Studio Caroline Theoret. A lot of talent per square foot in Caroline's studio. The makeup artist had suggested that the bride come get ready there on the big day since they were already all going to be at her studio. And while the ceremony/reception was in the same building, it wasn't far to walk. Also, M chose 2 bridesmaids and a best man (his best friend) who I would call a "bridesman" haha. I'm seeing more and more processions with guys and girls mixed on both sides and it's perfect! A sign that there is always room for evolution in wedding traditions.

Although the studio is large and well lit, we lacked space to take portraits and photos with the wedding party because several people were present. So I sent my assistant (Miguel) to scout the Château St-Ambroise to find a beautiful place to take photos. And that's when he discovered L'ESCALIER! What a place full of life, both warm and industrial. I could have taken photos there for hours. Especially since the beautiful bride was easy to photograph with her model aura!

Indoor ceremony at Espace Canal

Since April is the beginning of spring, it's not yet very warm for outdoor ceremonies. The couple opted in advance to tie the knot indoors, at L'Espace Canal. With its industrial look, the room is bright and inviting. Because it's so large, it easily accommodated the hundred or so guests for the ceremony. Then, they moved the chairs and put them back in place at the tables.

It was therefore with great excitement but with a determined step that the bride headed towards the man of her life.

Located in the Château St-Ambroise, the Espace Canal venue is a favorite place for me to photograph weddings. I love the venue's industrial look, which is both modern and unique. I don't know any other venue that looks like it. We were warmly welcomed, the staff were friendly, and there were plenty of beautiful spots around the venue for taking photos.

Instead of taking the traditional table photos, I suggested a kind of game to the bride and groom in coordination with the DJ. They sat near the fireplace and the DJ invited each table to come and take two photos by positioning themselves around the newlyweds. At a certain point, the groups started competing to see who would be the most original and funniest for the photo!

At the Grand Lodge Mont-Tremblant Wedding/Wedding by C+L

Chloé and Louis chose to get married last fall at the Grand Lodge in Mont-Tremblant. The couple chose THE perfect weekend to say "I do" in the Mont-Tremblant region. It was early October, and at this time of year, the trees in the Laurentians have already started to change color. The couple met in 2018, after chatting a bit on Tinder. Their first meeting lasted eight hours. It took place in a brasserie, and they closed the place because the conversations were flowing freely between them! They complement each other perfectly and get along wonderfully. On their big day, they looked at each other as if they were discovering each other all over again, their hearts in their eyes! Here's a glimpse of their perfect day, from the beginning of the preparations to the dancing in the evening.

Ceremony at the Grand Lodge, in front of Lake Ouimet

The weather was wonderful for an outdoor ceremony, in front of the magnificent Lake Ouimet. We could see the trees bursting with color on the other shore during the ceremony. It was splendid. With a warm autumn sun, the bride and groom couldn't have asked for more. Celebrated by a very close friend of Louis, the ceremony was beautiful, touching, funny, and filled with love and emotion.

Once the ceremony was over, we were able to take advantage of the beautiful light at the end of the day to take pictures of the couple. I thank them greatly for their availability and openness in wanting to take their time to have photos in several different places. Moreover, when you think about it, couple photos are pretty much the only time of the day when the bride and groom are alone together. Apart from my presence and that of my assistant of course haha! Also, it's a moment to digest the range of emotions that a ceremony can bring to life.

We had asked the bridal party to join us at a specific time to take pictures with the bride and groom. I've noticed that in recent years, couples are open to doing things differently, to no longer following traditions. While Louis had 4 groomsmen (including his brother), Chloe only had one bridesmaid, her sister. And it was perfect that way. It's okay not to have the same number of bridesmaids and groomsmen. Or not to have any bridesmaids and groomsmen. It doesn't offend anyone haha.

Festive evening at the Grand Lodge

The guests and the bride and groom's families were very friendly, making the evening a festive one. With a few speeches, games, the cake cutting, and dancing, it flew by in no time. Often, my cue to leave is when the dance floor is full. I take pictures for 10-15 minutes, and that's enough. Then it's time to leave and return to Montreal, my head full of beautiful memories of the day. And above all, I'm very happy to have been with the bride and groom to immortalize this day that was so important to them!

Manoir Davis – Wedding in the Laurentians

Katherine and Jeanne's wedding at Davis Manor took place last January. I couldn't have asked for a better first wedding of the season to kick off 2025. Everything went perfectly: from the beginning of the preparations to the dancing in the evening. And all this in a cool and relaxed atmosphere, but a little frenetic due to the excitement of everyone present! Convinced in advance that I was going to have a great time with the couple and their guests, I was really looking forward to meeting them in person. We had had two meetings via Zoom and we really hit it off. So I was anticipating the day and I was sure that everything was going to be impeccable, even before I arrived!

The goal of the day was to have a great time, in the presence of everyone. I didn't really want Jeanne and her daughters to take care of me and my camera haha. It was a question of having photos taken on the spot and full of emotion. There are always "classic" photos to take, but the lovers and I didn't want it to be too "posed", all day long.

First Look at Davis Manor

I was very excited to visit the Davis Manor for the first time. Open since 2022, it's perfect for intimate weddings. The Manor is becoming more and more popular each year as word gets around that it's a magnificent venue for various celebrations. The brides had booked it for four full days of celebration. With six bedrooms and a large room that can accommodate several beds, the Manor was perfect for the number of guests they had. I had seen some photos online and I must admit I fell in love with the majestic and magnificent main staircase. Built in 1910, the staircase is a true masterpiece. Bathed in light from the huge window at the top, we decided to have our first look there.

After the touching first look where the brides saw each other for the first time (even I was a little emotional), we went outside, in the snow. I can never express my love for winter weddings enough. I hate snow hahaha, I only like it when I take pictures of people in front of it or in it lol! Plus, we were really lucky with the weather. Because the day before the wedding (which was a Friday), it felt like -24 with the wind! On the day itself, we were able to enjoy a nice little -6 degrees, without wind! And the next day, Saturday, the mercury was back at -26 Celsius with the wind! It's like they chose to get married on a Friday because they had a feeling of what would be ideal, temperature-wise. The girls were able to take off their coats, a good part of the couple session outside. What bliss!

We had a lot of fun outside. Miguel, my boyfriend and assistant, held the coats for the girls when they were warm enough to take them off. I will always remember him running with the 2 bouquets and the coats in his arms, to go and close the front door behind the brides haha! I was laughing my head off. It was something to see! I took a picture of it but it is not good enough to post. The girls, not wanting static pictures, had a lot of ideas to move and have fun. I have to say that I think they are perfect together, making each other laugh and knowing what to do to get the other one moving and make her giggle.

The indoor ceremony at Davis Manor

The ceremony took place inside the Davis Manor, in the main room that would later serve as the reception. Celebrated by a good friend of the couple, the ceremony was brief but touching, beautiful and in the image of the brides. I was happy to see that there was still a lot of outside light entering the Manor even though it was 4pm. I was able to take the photos without flash, for a warm and cozy atmosphere.

The magnificent decoration of the ceremony and reception, as well as the brides' bouquets are the work of Isodora de Be Host Events. I saw her at work during the day and I have to say that Isodora creates magic in a short time. After the ceremony, the room was converted into a reception area. She created a cozy, warm and chic atmosphere while highlighting the Davis Manor.

An intimate reception at Davis Manor

Once the room was transformed and cocktail hour had passed, the wonderful MC Robert Applyrs from The Applyrs Xperience and Dj Kamistry were waiting for the brides and guests to continue the party. Robert is dynamic, funny and super nice. He is an approachable guy who likes to have fun with the guests. He does not hesitate, for example, to dance with them. Let's just say that this pair of friends knows how to get a room up! There were a few games and speeches before the end of dinner. We took advantage of the time when the tables were cleared to go outside with everyone and take pictures with sparklers. It was really a beautiful moment. There were a few dances before the brides presented their choreography (prepared in secret). The dance floor filled up, so it was time for me to leave and return to Montreal. In the car, I realized that my boyfriend and I were lucky to have such beautiful days. The brides had given us a special place among their loved ones!

Wedding at the William Gray Hotel – K + A

It was at the chic William Gray Hotel, located in Old Montreal, that Alexandre and Katherine got married. About a hundred hand-picked guests attended the celebration. Alexandre's very close family had arrived a few days earlier from France. Having met at work, the lovers have been a couple since 2019. It was during a trip to Thailand, to Koh Lanta (nicknamed the island at the end of the world) that Alexandre proposed to his sweetheart! In the middle of the sunset, no less! The height of romance!

The long-awaited day began with Alexandre getting ready at the home of a couple of friends who were part of the wedding party. The groom seemed very zen and happy! I was accompanied by my faithful assistant Miguel, my boyfriend, who was filming for the occasion. We then headed to Old Montreal. Where Katherine and her wedding party were getting ready in an Airbnb rented since the day before.

Ceremony at William Gray

Having been referred by a friend whose wedding I photographed in 2009, the bride and groom contacted me before even choosing the location and date of their wedding! It was a little over a year before their big day. They wanted to know my availability first and foremost and references of places that would suit them to celebrate their love. I remember referring the William Gray Hotel, among 3-4 places for the perfect rental in Old Montreal. I had been dreaming of photographing a wedding there for a few years because I had seen photos of their beautiful majestic staircase in the heart of the Hotel. So that's where they finally chose to have the ceremony and reception. Also a question of limiting the guests' travel.

In the Old Port of Montreal

Once the ceremony was over, it was a race against time to take the couple photos in Old Montreal. We also had the wedding party photos to take and the family photos. As well as a few shots inside the limousine followed by two group photos. The stairs weren't wide enough to fit everyone haha!

When I met the lovers, they talked to me about wanting to do an engagement session. In order to get to know each other but also, above all, to be more comfortable on the big day. Moreover, at the beginning of the engagement session, I asked them if they weren't too nervous... And both of them exclaimed at the same time by answering: YES! It made me laugh... And on the wedding day, they did it like real pros! The embarrassment and nervousness having taken over. They were thus able to use some photos from this session for the decoration of the room, as a sign at the entrance and on the menu for the evening.

Wedding reception at the William Gray Hotel

Back at the William Gray Hotel, we were able to attend the end of the cocktail party. We took the opportunity to take family photos before entering the room. The room being the same for the ceremony and the reception, the hotel staff took advantage of this "in-between" to change the decoration. They put the finishing touches on the tables before the evening began. Often at the cocktail party it is the opportunity or never for me to take photos of decorations before the guests enter. Everything was ready to welcome the group, it was chic and tasteful. Everything went wonderfully during the evening. There were touching speeches, very touching even, games and dancing!
