George Mavitzis Photography | Montreal & Ottawa Weddings

All weddings are intimate gatherings of loved ones…. my attempt to recognize the many and wonderful dynamics of everyone involved only allows me to capture the true and genuine images…

Photography was initially something shared with me through my father, a hobby for him. Little did he know then that his dream of me becoming a lawyer would be shattered the moment I stole his Minolta 201 camera. From an early passion, it became something I studied and eventually built a career from. Weddings and all their dynamics lifted me out of my shyness and shaped the person I am now, both the good and the bad. The lessons I've learned are precious and they continue to shape me. Weddings are not just events; they are life-changing gatherings that I have been fortunate enough to witness hundreds of times.
You see, wedding photography sneaked up on me while I was a young aspiring photojournalist. But what I never expected was that life would also sneak up on my wedding photography. Stefano, the groom you see below, must have been 10 years old when I first met him, along with his loving family, which included two other handsome brothers. Stefano is the youngest, and therefore the last of the brothers I have photographed. All three of them have been featured, and their galleries remain on my website to this day! Brother 1 Brother 2 Countless cousins and close friends have also trusted me with their wedding photography.

The Details of a Wedding Reception

I understand that the newlyweds take center stage during their wedding reception. With my creative eye, I focus on capturing the deep emotions between the bride and groom, from their joyful smiles to those piercing glances they share. Every laugh, touch, and even the fumbling nervous kiss becomes a cherished fragment of their love story, beautifully preserved through my lens.

I also recognize the importance of lighting and other ambient factors in setting the mood of a wedding reception. As an experienced photographer, I pay meticulous attention to these elements, knowing they have the power to transform a space and enhance the overall atmosphere. Whether it's the soft glow of candlelight or the vibrant hues of a stunning sunset, we are dedicated to capturing the essence of the reception as it unfolds.
My keen observation skills and preparedness, I anticipate the fleeting moments that make each wedding reception unique. From the emotional twinkle in a grooms eye as he walks his bride into the venue for the first time. Their first viewing at what has been designed and finally assembled by their vendors. My unobtrusive approach allows me to seamlessly blend into the background, giving you and your loved ones the freedom to fully immerse yourselves in the celebration while we tirelessly capture every significant detail.
