“We first met in college with big ambitions to pursue more education through dental school. Common goals, aspirations and upbringing initially sparked great interest, but the countless adventures and conversations really proved there was a deeper connection. What started off as a great friendship quickly turned into a strong partnership. Deep conversations in the art museum transitioned into long study sessions at the library. Fun late-night taco runs turned into even later nights in the anatomy lab. Steven proposed with a beautiful sunset picnic that overlooked the city, making it truly magical!”, the bride shared with us.

“There are many reasons why Montreal, Quebec City, and Mont Tremblant have been North America’s most popular destination wedding locations. Montreal has many beautiful wedding venues, along with its mountains and charming old city streets. One wedding, in particular, was held in the faculty building of the world-renowned McGill University campus. The McGill grounds are located on Mount Royal and had a special connection to the bride’s parents. I could have shared hundreds of images, but I chose some that I felt represented what the couple expressed to me and what they saw in my photography. I will always be grateful for this experience” George Mavitzis Photography shared with us.

“The bouquet of flowers that I chose were a bouquet of white peonies. I wanted a beautiful core flower that made a statement but was not too busy. We really focused a lot on our venue choice when it came to decorations and chose a spot that would match well with the overall vibe we were going for. The venue was a European castle, decorated with marble, hand carved wood and gold from top to bottom. The flowers we chose were all neutral and the decor had gold accents to compliment the venue.”

“Our favorite moment was the first dance and seeing all the people we love the most in one room together!”

“My wedding dress was a custom-made Heidi Elnora dress. After many designs meeting were able to piece the dress together from head to toe. It was an amazing experience getting to try on different fabrics and choosing what you like and works best for you. We went with an A line dress with a glimpse of sparkle on the base with hand woven beading and lace appliqué placed on the bodice of the dress completing it with sheer lace sleeves.”

“My advice to a bride-to-be is no matter how stressful planning it, it is all worth in the end and you’re wedding will be the most beautiful day!”
