George Mavitzis Wedding Photographer | Fairmont Château Laurier | Ottawa Wedding

How does one say goodbye to a couple after spending several hours if not the whole day with them. It’s also about their families and many invited friends that I met during the day, and when it comes to South Asian weddings it’s multiple days! Many various ceremonies and rituals where I have the pleasure of sharing delicious meals day and night! I particularly enjoy the many quick hellos and longer chats. From the small child who is curious about my shiny camera to the uncle or cousin who is an avid photographer. It helps to reflect during these encounters and this complements my continuous attempt in capturing true genuine images. Now to answer the question that began this post, how does one part with the couple after several beautiful days and thousands of images, take some more!

George Mavitzis Photography | Destination Wedding Photographer | Californian Pakistani Wedding

I have been blessed with a certain family in Montreal that continuously invite me to be their wedding photographer. We all know how colourful Pakistani weddings or any South Asian weddings can be but it’s not only about this. Spending multiple days with all the family members and friends you quickly sense that you truly belong. Literally from the moment you walk into the homes you don’t feel like just the photographer. The genuine hospitality is overwhelming, to a point that you forget that you have a job to do. There’s probably nothing more important as an ingredient for my style of photography than this, that caring and participating in this traditional event is just as important to the task of capturing the images.

So this respect and trust this one family has shared with me, was then equally felt when their extended family in San Jose California hired me. What another delightful experience, what another beautiful couple…..

George Mavitzis Photography | 2019 Wedding Couples looking forward to 2020 Weddings

I am very grateful to my couples who not only trusted me with their wedding photography but allowed me complete freedom on how I would capture their big day. Choosing only one image from each wedding was not an easy task, and what was common amongst these images was the fact that I clearly remember the moment I captured them. It may have been the interaction between us, other times I just happened to be there, or it was in anticipation of something about to happen and at times it may have been at the end of an emotional part of the day. Either way they are genuine expressions and timeless imagery they will possess forever.
