Wedding Photography by Christophe Viseux — Ottawa / Montreal
1. What is documentary-style wedding photography?
Documentary-style photography captures the authentic emotions and unscripted moments of your day. I work quietly in the background, allowing the real story to unfold naturally. The result is timeless, storytelling imagery that reflects who you are as a couple.
Why it matters: These images feel genuine and emotional, preserving the atmosphere of your wedding as it truly happened.
2. How much does a wedding photographer cost in Ottawa or Montréal?
Professional wedding photography in Ottawa typically ranges from $2,500 to $10,000+, depending on coverage, number of photographers, and albums. My packages are transparent and flexible — designed for everything from intimate elopements to multi-day celebrations.
Why it matters: Clear pricing helps you plan confidently while understanding what’s included in every collection.
3. When should we book our photographer to secure the date?
Most couples book their wedding photographer 6 to 18 months in advance, especially for popular months like June to September. I only take one wedding per weekend to focus fully on each story.
Why it matters: Early booking ensures we can schedule your engagement session and visit your venue before the big day.
4. What’s included in your wedding photography packages?
Every package includes professional coverage, high-resolution edited images, an online gallery for sharing, and full personal-use rights. Options like engagement sessions, second shooters, and fine-art albums can be added.
Why it matters: You get complete storytelling — from preparation to reception — beautifully curated and ready to print or share.
5. How long do you stay on the wedding day?
I usually provide 6 to 12 hours of coverage, depending on your schedule. From morning preparations to your final dance, I capture the full narrative so nothing is missed.
Why it matters: Continuous coverage means a seamless visual story from start to finish.
6. How do you handle low-light or rainy weather weddings?
I always carry professional lighting gear and backup cameras to adapt to any condition — indoor, outdoor, or unexpected weather. Rain can even create dramatic, cinematic photos with reflections and texture.
Why it matters: Your day stays stress-free no matter what the weather brings.
7. Can you photograph multicultural or destination weddings?
Absolutely. I’ve photographed weddings across Canada, the Caribbean, Europe, and the Middle East, including multicultural, interfaith, and same-sex celebrations. Every culture brings unique rituals and beauty, and I love documenting that authenticity.
Why it matters: Experience across cultures ensures respect, understanding, and sensitivity in every image.
8. How many photos will we receive and when?
You’ll receive 300-6000 edited images for a full-day wedding, delivered through an online gallery within 2 to 3 weeks. You can download, share, and order prints directly.
Why it matters: You’ll relive your day quickly, with every meaningful moment carefully edited in my signature style.
9. What’s the difference between candid and posed photos?
Candid photos happen naturally — laughter, tears, tiny gestures — while posed portraits are guided gently to highlight your connection. I combine both to create variety: natural storytelling and elegant editorial portraits.
Why it matters: This balance delivers a complete, emotionally rich collection.
10. Why invest in a professional wedding photographer instead of a friend?
A professional photographer anticipates emotion, light, and timing instinctively. Beyond technical skill, we create calm under pressure and manage all conditions seamlessly.
Why it matters: You only live your wedding day once — professional photography ensures those memories are beautifully preserved forever.
11. Do you offer engagement sessions in Montréal or Ottawa?
Yes, and I highly recommend them! Engagement sessions help you feel comfortable in front of the camera and give us time to connect before the wedding. Montréal and Ottawa offer incredible backdrops — from Old Port cobblestones to Mount Royal’s skyline or The Parliament views.
Why it matters: The result is relaxed, authentic images — and a smoother experience on your wedding day.
12. What’s your editing and delivery process?
Every selected image is carefully edited for color balance, lighting, and artistic tone — no filters or trends that fade over time. You’ll receive your gallery with both color and black-and-white photographs.
Why it matters: The timeless, consistent look of your gallery ensures your memories age beautifully.
