Paul Doumit Photography : Montreal and destination Wedding photographer

Nothing makes us happier than a beaming bride and groom. We feed off our clients’ energy and Racha+ Tamim fueled us all day with their happy glow. Racha looked amazing in her wedding dress and the expressions on her face kept giving me the impression I was with Angelina Jolie and another Lebanese  celebrity , Nancy Ajram. Tamim was looking sharp and ready to get married. Such a beautiful couple and so down to earth and the pleasure we had around the city taking pictures even under the rain.

I don’t know from where to start describing my feelings about me going to my home country to shoot a wedding. Since most of couples in Lebanon seems to fall in the traditional style when it comes to photography, Laura and Wissam are not any ordinary couple. They wanted something different , something fresh and mostly fun. Its the type of couple you want to spend the whole aftern0on with taking pictures, having an ice-cream and few drinks. We went to the city of  Byblos and walked around the Marina and the old market. It’s said that Byblos is to be the oldest inhabited city in the world, the source of the first Phoenician letters that gave us our alphabet.  Even if it was December, the weather was just amazing for an outdoor photo session . Thank you Laura and Wissam for the opportunity you gave me and for everything.  Hope you enjoy the pictures.

They been announcing rain for the weekend and it wasn’t looking for good weather wise for the wedding.  Despite all that, the excitement was there awaiting for the wedding of Luis and Berna. The day started at the grooms (Luis ) house where we met few of the families and friends coming from all over the world. USA , Portugal, Switzerland and France.  They had some delicious pig cooked and ready for the occasion. After few pictures we went to the bride’s house ( Berna )  in Laval where we found her getting her latest make-up retouches and cracking up some laughs with her sisters. It has been a long time since i didn’t shot a wedding and Notre-Dame de Nareg Church in Montreal. Guests just went crazy shower the newly wed couple with rice when exiting the church.

After our photo session downtown Montreal we headed back to Buffet Marina where friends and family were awaiting for the couple to start the party. Which was a grat party by the way. A beautiful mix of cultures between Lebanese and Portuguese.
Berna and Luis considered us ( myself and my fiancé ) as friends and not as photographers. They promised us they will come to visit after the honeymoon for a drink and some movies.  Congratulations guys . We wish you nothing but the best of a life together filled with joy, love and happiness.

Last week , we drove to Ottawa for an e-session with Dania and Giscard who are getting married in a couple of weeks. I had few locations in mind for the shoot and we had the perfect skies for awesome colors. Let me tell you they are such a cute and fun couple . Cant wait for the wedding . Thank you for Caren my beautiful assistant for the lovely job as a second photographer.

Nahla is a long time friend of the family and I met Ramy few times on different occasions . Such a beautiful and loving couple, I was very honored to be part of their wedding day. I was kind tired of all the traveling around shooting weddings across the country, I am glad to be back just on time for Nahla and Ramy. A beautiful wedding down here in Montreal even if the weather didn’t help a lot,  we still had a great time and no stress through out the day. The venue was just astonishing and every little detail was perfect. My best wishes and long life filled with health and happiness to the newly weds.
