HELLO
I’m Keyris a refined and editorial wedding photographer based in Montreal, specializing in local and destination weddings, as well as luxury elopements. With over 8 years of experience, I bring a unique and detailed eye to every love story, capturing moments that are authentic, timeless, and sophisticated.
As a dreamer and a determined, persistent woman, I find inspiration in the beauty of genuine connections and the natural world.
Whether it’s a quiet glance, a joyful laugh, or a breathtaking backdrop, I aim to preserve the magic of your special day through storytelling and fine art photography.
While I call Montreal home, my passion for capturing love stories has taken me across Canada and beyond including destination weddings in the Dominican Republic, as well as cities like Toronto and Ottawa. My services extend to both local and international weddings, ensuring that no matter where your love takes you, I can be there to document it.
Outside of photography, I’m a landscaper, chess player, and animal lover. These facets of my life enrich my perspective and approach to photography, allowing me to connect deeply with the stories I tell.
When you’re looking for the best wedding photographer in Montreal, you should also think about the gear they use (The Cameras), not just the person behind the camera which is really important. Sometimes, people ask me what equipment I use to take those beautiful, timeless photographs that show the real emotions and unique stories of each couple. I adore working as a wedding and engagement photographer in this beautiful city. So today I want to show you what goes on behind the scenes of my Montreal wedding photography business and explain why I use the Nikon D850 and D750 cameras.
A Personal Touch: Why its important to Choose the Right Camera
First, yes, camera specs are crucial, but it’s how those specs are employed that really makes wedding photography in Montreal come to life. My choice of camera is based on more than simply technical necessities. It also has to do with creative vision, dependability, and the capacity to capture emotion in any light.
I have improved my skills and approach over the years with these two Nikon cameras. My camera is just as important to me as my creative eye for photography whether I’m taking cozy engagement photos in old Montreal or a big wedding on Mount Royal.
The Nikon D850: A Workhorse of detail and dynamic range
When it comes to detail, adaptability, and dynamic range, the Nikon D850 is my top pick. Here’s why I adore it:
- Amazing Resolution
The D850 has a 45.7MP full-frame sensor that picks up on every little thing. This is great for those gorgeous wide images of a couple in front of Montreal’s famous landmarks or when I zoom in to see the tear in the groom’s eye.
- Great in Low Light
Montreal wedding’s often take place in churches with very low illumination, outside at golden hour, or in the evening with a romantic theme. The D850 works well in low light helping me snap clear, noise-free photographs even when the light is awful.
- Mode for silent shooting
I don’t want the sound of a shutter clicking to draw someone out of the moment when we’re being intimate. The silent shooting setting lets me stay out of the way and show respect for the scene.
- Range of Motion
This is really important for wedding photos. The D850 makes beautiful highlights and deep blacks when there is a lot of contrast like at a wedding in the sun or a first dance with sparklers.
Nikon D750: My loyal partner
The Nikon D750 is my faithful companion but the D850 is the star. It saves me time because I never have to switch glasses when I shoot. This saves me time and gives me more choices.
Here’s why the D750 is a must-have for my kit:
- Quickness and effectiveness
Because it is easy to use and focuses quickly, the D750 is great for spontaneous shots—those real, unplanned moments that make couples photography in Montreal come to life.
- It works well in all kinds of light
The D750 does well in rooms with lots of light and rooms with little light. This lets me switch gears quickly for weddings that go by quickly or photo shoots with couples at the last minute.
- A lighter body
I can carry it around all day without much trouble because it’s lighter. This is especially helpful when I need to move around a lot during a wedding shoot or when I’m going to different places in Montreal for engagement photos.
The gear is just the start of taking pictures at weddings in Montreal.
You need more than expensive gear to take beautiful wedding shots in Montreal. Things you should do when to do them, and how to tell a story. Still, these cameras are very important to me so I can take professional, high-quality shots of all of my lovely couples.
Helpful Advice for Couples Who Are Interested in Photography Gear
