It is rare that a couple gets married and one of them haven’t met a good chunk of the other’s family. In Caroline and Derek’s case, their beautiful wedding day was not only happiness for the newlyweds tying the knot, but also witnessing a lot of their family members getting to know each other the first time! It was truly a wonderful thing seeing so many smiles, family members learning things about each other for the first time…and among it all, Caroline and Derek got married. Not just with one ceremony, but with two. Starting with the traditional, touching Vietnamese ceremony honouring their ancestors and concluding with the classic white dress and tux! The reception was held at Le Mont Blanc in Laval where the party and food was clearly enjoyed by everyone as one big, happy family!

Caroline and Derek, thank you both for choosing us to capture your special day! We leave you with our favourite moments from your day.

Annie and Kien are two special people to us. Annie has been a long time fan of our work (x0x0!) and Kien’s family has been a part of our business for quite some time, for which we are extremely grateful! We have been very fortunate to have had the pleasure of being the photographers to two of Kien’s sisters and now we got to be a part of his and Annie’s very special day. Not only that, but Bartek and Kien worked together at Bartek’s first vfx film job here in Montreal! Time flies, it’s a small world and we love every bit of it.

The beautifully sunny day started with some familiar (but still crazy!) door games filled with silly moments and lot’s of laughs. Annie and Kien have been together for a long time, and through this time, their love for each other grew every day, which was quite apparent as soon as we started to see them though our lens. Surrounded by family and friends, Annie and Kien’s wedding took place at Le Carlton in Saint Leonard here in Montreal. And for the photos, we took them to a very classy location where we took every bit of sunlight and combined with the gorgeous scenery, captured Annie and Kien in their glowing and happy state.

Annie and Kien, thank you for choosing us to capture your wedding day. We have already had so many wonderful experiences together, but this day just added to it all. You have been together for a long time and as we already mentioned! Your love for each other is very obvious and we have no doubt you two will have a very happily ever after.

xoxo,

Bartek & Magda

Well, that day just had to come didn’t it? That dreaded word came over the radio the day of Eve and Zach’s wedding…rain. We’ve been at it for many years and have quite a bit under our belts when it comes to dealing with a rainy day, but it must be worrisome for the couple and their families. Not Eve and Zach, however! They took the day by the horns and made it beautiful no matter the rain. And so it really was. Super relaxed, happy to be with each other, Eve and Zach got married and everyone had an absolute time of their lives. The cherry on top for us, was how wonderful it was that Eve and Zach were cool with every idea we had and the result is below. We absolutely adore it when our couples are awesome to work with, so thank you guys! We told you braving the rain would be worth it!

The wedding was held at the gorgeous Place d’Armes Hotel in the Old Port of Montreal. Everything from the Ketubah, to the touching Jewish wedding ceremony, to the Hora and finally the off the wall party, everyone had an incredible amount of fun and love in their hearts. Eve and Zach, thank you for choosing us to capture your day. We wish you a long and happy life together and we leave you with a slideshow, as well as our favourite moments from your day. xoxo, Bartek & Magda

It was a freezing fall day here in Montreal on the day of Isabel and Andrew’s wedding. However, one look at the newly wed couple and everyone couldn’t help but feel a little warmer inside!

Isabel and Andrew’s wedding was our final wedding of the 2016 season, we couldn’t wait for their big day. The wedding ceremony and reception was at the Omni hotel on Sherbrooke Street downtown in Montreal and we took some lovely (albeit cold!) photos just down the street on McGill’s campus. With golden leaves and beautiful buildings, we had the perfect set for Isabel and Andrew’s photos! Like I said, even though it was cold and windy, everyone was a great sport and as I told them…it will be worth it!

So looking at these images, it truly was worth it! We wish you guys all the best in the years to come and we hope you love your photos. xoxo, Bartek & Magda

Being together for many many years already, having grown up kids and an already long and happy life together, they decided it was finally time to tie the knot! It really is something special to see two people with a very strong relationship want to take that extra step together.

Nathalie and Ron are two of the most sincere and genuinely caring people we have had the pleasure of meeting this year. Ron has a permanent smile on his face and Nathalie just wants to make everyone around her feel comfortable, and their love for each other and their family was incredibly touching. You could really see the bond they have for one another when they exchanged their vows and just through the little things they did throughout the day.

The always wonderful Selina put the wedding together at the stunning newly renovated Ritz-Carlton hotel here in Montreal. This being a very intimate evening soiree, the flowers, the food and the ambiance fit just right at the Ritz! It just recently re-opened after four years of renovation so if you are in the area, I highly recommend popping in to see this piece of history.

Nathalie and Ron, thank you for having us capture this very important day for you and your family. I would wish you a lifetime of happiness, but it’s already quite apparent that you already have one! So all we could wish for you is even more love with each passing year! It was a real pleasure spending time with you, so without further ado, here are our favourite photos from your day.

In the summer we had the pleasure of taking Tara and Jon (or as they call each other Pot and lid, because Tara is the Lid to Jon’s Pot!!! Adorableness overload!), for a pre-wedding photo shoot out on a farm here in Montreal. It was a fabulous time for the four of us to get to know each other and take some casual photos for them. Essentially it was a teaser for us for what was to come, and we couldn’t wait to spend time with them on the big day! Every time we got together with them it’s hard not to notice how much Jon cares for Tara and vice versa. Tara and Jon are a one of a kind couple; extremely determined to make their wedding exactly as they imagined, not only for themselves but for all their family and guests. Seeing as this was our first Jewish wedding, we had our work cut out for us!

Magda and I were super excited to finally get to experience a full on Jewish wedding after hearing about how wonderful these ceremonies are. From the traditions to the customs and dances, we loved taking photos of every moment! The wedding took place at Montreal’s Jewish Synagogue Chevra Kadisha where we witnessed Tara and Jon become a couple under the Chuppah. It was very obvious that Tara and Jon’s families are incredibly close and caring. We routinely had tears in our eyes as we listened to all the beautiful wishes and stories everyone shared at the wedding, including the wonderful things the Rabbi had to say throughout the day.

On to the party.

Helmed by the amazing Showmen Band, the reception was a a collection of touching speeches, music, dancing and lots of people being raised into the air on chairs! We can safely say that Tara and Jon created an incredible experience for everyone on their wedding day…including us. So on that note, we would like to thank you for trusting us with our vision to capture every special moment on this once in a lifetime day. We had an absolute blast and if your parents are a testament to a lifetime of happiness…then you have nothing to worry about.

Here is a collection of our favourite photos from the day. And of course please don’t forget to click on the slideshow link below to see a ton more!
