George Mavitzis Photography | Montreal & Toronto Athens & Santorini | Wedding Photography

In my initial edit of a wedding there's no better feeling than finding the kind of images as the ones I have posted below. They may not all end up in the couple's final choice for an album or printing, but that's not my only goal. From the beginning of the day it's about tapping into the many vibes and recognizing the moments that speak to me. The many perspectives, the various lightning conditions and movements are all variables I will not and cannot repeat. There's no reason to repeat, as each wedding has it's own heartbeat . I am commissioned to hear, feel and sense my way through their day and capture it genuinely.

I don't know what it is, maybe I have a photographer's horse shoe..maybe my images speak to the "right" couples but whatever it is I seem to be commissioned by very discerning couples that not only completely trust me but are very keen in seeing what I can create for them. They don't desire copy and paste wedding photography, they do not send me Pinterest links or Instagram images...they want me to do my thing and to be me. It's usually mid day that I feel this encouragement. I have began my day with their preps, we've had some laughs, I've put my foot in my mouth (thankfully they understand my twisted wedding sense of humour) then they notice my silence, a quiet George , a focus, the passion I tap into. After all, it will only a couple weeks before I will be having a coffee (maybe scotch) at their home sharing the captures, the moments.

You cannot get a more urban Montreal wedding than what you will see below. Married at St. George's Church, then McGill University area for the couple captures, ending on Ristorante Beatrice on Montreal's Sherbrooke Street. Tania Tassone from Blanc Events and her team, as usual kept it elegant and spot on with what the couple requested. The whole staff at Ristorante Beatrice were beyond courteous and managed to take care of the guests and myself in the professional manner that they are known for.

Keeping it simple and real is the key to creating beautiful and meaningful  images for your wedding. Getting ready at near by hotels, The W Montreal  and Le Westin Montreal. The stroll from the chapel to the Belvedere in the Old Port was the main reason these images are so genuine and true to what this day was for the newlyweds.
