Welcome

Hello, we’re Laurette & Yissegnon.

We photograph weddings the way they really happen. The two of us work quietly beside you and catch what no one could stage: a hand squeezed before the aisle, a father’s laugh, the dance floor at midnight. Then, for a few unhurried minutes, we step in and make portraits with the polish of a fashion editorial.

We were born in Africa, shaped by Britain and Canada, and now call Toronto and Montréal home. That mix shows in our work: classic and warm, never stiff, and always made with love.

Wedding photography & film

Your day, exactly as it felt.

Our approach

Two ways of seeing

Couple laughing together under a tree

I — DOCUMENTARY

Nothing staged. Everything felt.

We capture the natural flow of your day: the laughter, the nerves, the glances across the room. We stay close, quietly, so you can live every minute of it.

II — EDITORIAL

Portraits with an editor’s eye.

Laurette’s eye for styling, posing and composition meets Yissegnon’s light. The result is images and films that feel both timeless and refined.
