We are storytellers & we capture life stories
We document the unnoticed details, the romantic touches, the tears, the smiles. We capture the little fleeting moments that pass by in the blink of an eye. We are trusted allies, confidents, a constant in the rising anticipation of the day. We are the silent shadows on the most beautiful day of your lives, the preservers of your precious timeless memories.
Our Manifesto
It's about love, and connections. The awe and wonders. It's about you and your story. Beyond the small material details are the raw moments and the emotions that weave every moments. We let you embrace your story to give you space to shine, show your true self, fully and unapologetically.
We capture your in between moments, your essence, so that you can experience the emotions you felt when you lived them. We will bring you back to that place of pure emotion.

About Us
This is us on our wedding day! We met at work of all places, during challenging times, but we knew it was meant to be.
We are best friends, and never better than when we are together. Life is wonderful when it's filled with love, trust and laughter. It's all about the simple pleasures.

Yves - The Head
Hey, I'm Yves! I'm the English guy with the French name. I grabbed my first film camera in high school but never thought one day I would be here, 30 some odd years later capturing life stories. I am a bit of a coffee snob and I love to cook. Just ask Annie and she will confirm how I won her over with food! Taco Tuesday is my favorite day of the week and in my spare time I hide in my shop to do some woodworking. I'm a proud dad to an amazing daughter, luckiest grandpa to the sweetest little girl, step-dad to two great young adults, fur dad to a clown Pug and lucky to have married my soulmate.
Annie - The Heart
Hello, I'm Annie! I'm a little shy introvert originally from Quebec City who very much prefers being behind the camera. But don't get me wrong, I love making connections with people. I'm a big suck for the little details, and I have a severe obsession with ring photos. I love Indian and Mexican food, and will not resist a glass of wine, a crème brûlée or a nice piece of mocha chocolate cake! I am lucky to be called mom by two awesome young adults, friend to a stunning step-daughter who gave us the cutest little grandbaby and wifey to an amazing husband - that guy over there. My heart would not be complete without our little fur ball, Niu the Pug.

"We’re all a little weird. And life is a little weird. And when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall into mutually satisfying weirdness–and call it love–true love."
—Robert Fulghum, True Love
