GREAT WEDDING PHOTOS DON’T JUST SHOW HOW YOU LOOKED - THEY SHOW YOU HOW YOU LOVED

We met one fateful May evening in 2016 in Montréal’s Plateau neighbourhood at a pub gathering for a mutual friend. After discovering we were neighbours and feeling confident after a single IPA (a Fat Tug for those who know their west coast beers) I, (Elena — the builder of this website), simply said: “We should be friends!” to which Jesse agreed. The rest is history!

Jesse is a renaissance man and a practicing Taoist. As a young musician in Montréal Jesse was quick to see that the internet was the way to make his voice heard - and that meant making his own music videos, which led to working as a videographer. Already a connoisseur of film and cinematography - through videography Jesse carved out a name for himself in the Montréal’s wedding scene by approaching weddings like the movies and documentaries he admired, at the peak of music-video style posed wedding videography Jesse created completely candid videos - offering couples a real window into their past. Currently, Jesse’s favourite filmmakers to name a few are Ari Aster, Paul Thomas Anderson, and Quentin Tarantino.

Together, we love to listen to records & talk about the nature of things, we play music together, enjoy cinema and all kinds of art, sour candies, laughing, and spoiling our two fluffy cats Wallace and Sushi and our puppy Daisy.

Elena is a cat lover, flower sniffer, and a geology enthusiast. As a teenager, disposable cameras were the perfect answer to the age old question: what to do with one’s hands at parties? This thankfully turned into a love for film & documenting life. When given the opportunity to shoot weddings after meeting Jesse, the role of capturing such inherently beautiful and emotional real life events felt joyful and intuitive. A graduate of McGill’s Schulich School of Music in Jazz Voice, Elena enjoys creating photographs and music that are moving and heartfelt - an image or a song are an avenue for expression and storytelling.
