George Mavitzis Wedding Photography | Gare Viger Venue in Montreal's Old Port

Unscripted & Genuine Editorial Montreal Wedding Photographer

This editorial wedding session unfolds naturally and without pretense—no forced poses, no scripted moments—only the raw, genuine emotions and candid interactions that truly define the essence of the day. I am always dedicated to storytelling that feels alive, deeply personal, and utterly authentic. The resulting images become a timeless collection of moments that will evoke that unmistakable warmth and cherished memories for years to come.

Rayanne & Shawn celebrated their beautiful Zoroastrian wedding ceremony in the charming courtyard of the Gare Viger wedding venue. They were surrounded by loved ones—family and friends who had traveled from across Canada and around the world to share in their joy. Nestled in the heart of Montreal’s old port, a quick visit to Gibby’s own quaint courtyard was an absolute must, adding yet another intimate layer to their unforgettable day.

It always begins with “ We’re the shy type” then this happens.

I learn about their special connection, personalities, and small gestures as they become comfortable in front of my camera. This calm and personal setting helps me capture real, timeless moments that show who they truly are, creating photos they will treasure forever.

Websites and social media are flooded with South Asian weddings—Indian, Pakistani, Bangladeshi, and many more vibrant cultures. What you see increasingly is the beautiful blend of mixed South Asian weddings, which I find truly fascinating. I have had the privilege of photographing Indian weddings for quite some time now, and one thing I have consistently observed is the smooth and loving manner in which the Indian family welcomes the bride—or in this case, the groom. It’s not only the couple who are warmly embraced; it’s the entire extended family from both sides! For instance, the "Milni" is a traditional Indian wedding ceremony, particularly cherished within Sikh and Punjabi communities, where the groom’s family and the bride’s family meet and are formally introduced to one another. These celebrations span multiple days, filled with gatherings, heartfelt introductions, and the beautiful sharing of cultures. Many might think it’s all about the vibrant colors and grand celebrations, but I often choose to photograph in black and white to truly capture the genuine, heartfelt moments that shine through. While the weddings are filled with numerous traditions and rituals, what draws me most to them is that despite the similarities in customs, the opportunities to find authentic, unique, and abundant moments remain endless.
