I started this lovely wedding photography adventure in November 2007.
I had spent all summer of 2007 shooting weddings in Ottawa as an assistant and also recording the automobile racing scene from Ontario and Quebec. In a one year span, I was already working for the biggest Quebec newspaper (Le Journal de Montréal) and I had contracts from the government of Canada and Quebec.
In 2008, it was time to spread my wings…This happen more in December 2007. My first wedding photography contract was a couple from Japan that was getting married in Ottawa, Canada. After that experience, I was hooked on capturing the wedding day through photography! I am passionate about my wedding photography and people. My camera is an extension of my eyes and my heart. Capturing a smiles bride, documenting your You-nique day and your special moments brings fulfillment and joy in my life. I love it when I can make a bride feel beautiful and glamorous.The thing that means most to me as a wedding photographer is capturing the emotion, the moment that will mean so much to someone. Being a Wedding photographer is a joy, an honour and always a pleasure! My images depict who the person truly is! I truly care about people and I think it helps me document their love. The connection that I have with people is what makes my wedding photography service such a different experience. This connection makes it possible for the person to be comfortable in front of my camera.
I was based in Ottawa for the beginning of my wedding photography career. I have moved to Montreal in march 2009 since I love the big city’s.
You should expect me to be early, to be excited about shooting your wedding and take beautiful and fun photographs. As a wedding photographer, I stay on the side and tell your story as it unfolds. I do very little posing and directing. I think my couples are beautiful enough on their own. I won’t spend a bunch of time telling you how to pose or freak out if it starts to rain! You should be completely uninhibited with your love for each other. It’s weird to have a huge camera fixated on you all day long, but I won’t make images of you gazing romantically into each other’s eyes or you wiping a tear during your last dance with dad unless your true emotion’s show. Don’t worry I won’t miss it! You should enjoy your day, live it and not pay attention to me. You’ll be thrilled by your wedding photographs!
After having worked with so many client’s, I have realized that I am creating custom packages for more than 60% of my clients. Your wedding, style, personality and aesthetic are different from the bride down the street, so why isn’t your wedding photography? I see wedding photography as a lifetime investment and the only souvenirs that you will be able to see when your love still burns strong after 40 years.
Investment starts at 2500$ and it includes my photography service, a save the date photography session, my assistant fee, our meals, free complementary digital files in colour and BW on an external hard drive and a 10 year warrantee on the images.
Talk to you soon,
Sébastien D'Amour
