R & A Wedding | Turbo Haüs | Montreal Event Photographer

I’m a huge fan of DIY style events. When a friend of mine proposed to his then girlfriend (and now wife!), I told them that I’d be totally down to photograph their wedding. I don’t do the 20-30 weddings per year that the more full time wedding photographers do. I keep it to 2-3 a… Continue reading R & A Wedding | Turbo Haüs | Montreal Event Photographer
