About

Hello!

I am Ali, a passionate wedding photographer based in Montreal. I believe in capturing the raw emotions and candid moments that unfold on a couple's special day. My objective is to tell the story of the couple's unique love through the lens, showcasing their true personalities in every shot.

I have a keen eye for capturing the joyous smiles, warm embraces, loving gazes, blissful kisses, and infectious laughs that define a wedding day. The end result is a set of authentic memories that truly encapsulate the couple's story.

With years of experience in the industry, I have been honored to be a part of countless love stories in and around the Montreal area, including the Laurentians, Ontario, and Quebec. I have been serving the region since 2012 and I am dedicated to creating timeless and beautiful memories for my clients.

My photography style:

My approach to wedding photography is primarily rooted in the photojournalistic style, which aims to capture the day's events as they unfold in a candid and natural manner. I use backlighting and foregrounds to add depth to my photos and create a dreamy feel to them.

I sometimes use crystals in front of the camera lens to add prism-like effects and a touch of magic to the images. Guests come up to me sometimes to ask what that big piece of crystal is about !

About me:

With a background in English Literature, I have a keen eye for poetry and aesthetics. I started this journey with the missions to tell people's story in a new and captivating form. I have a personalized approach to each wedding, interacting with the couple to understand their needs at every moment.

    Ali is an absolutely amazing photographer

    Ali really did make our day special, right from the beginning there was great communication. He is extremely friendly and easy going on top of his professionalism.
    I would one thousand percent recommend him to anyone wanting to book him. His pricing is amazing and we received our final edits really quickly and they were everything and more.
    Thank you again Ali for everything you did and being a part of our special day.
    David and Shaun.

    Mova Photography's reply:

    Thank you very much for your feedback David. It was absolutely my pleasure being a part of your wedding day. Wishing you and Shaun a lifetime of happiness and harmony.

    An Inspired photographer

    Ali was a very kind, professional and motivated photographer. We hired him for our wedding. He always knew where to be and had that “eye” for which photos to take and when. He was calm and positive even if it was a little crazy on our end and got the shots he needed, even with no list of photos provided. I have just seen a sneak peak and I am blown away! I am so happy with how the pictures turned out and thought it couldn’t have been any better. HIGHLY recommend!!!

    Ali was a tremendous photographer

    It was a truly wonderful experience to work with Ali. I reached out to him on Instagram after having not received responses from a number of other photographers. He replied right away and was very accommodating to the date and time we were looking for. We talked in advance of our wedding and he shared ideas for spots to photograph beyond where we were getting married.

    On the day of the wedding, Ali was there before us, began shooting right away, and was overall excellent. His photography did not feel intrusive in anyway, but honestly just added to our really special day.

    He was prompt in getting our photos back to us, which are so beautiful and captured all of our happiness. Can't recommend Ali enough!

    Amazing wedding photographer- highly recommend!

    The experience Mova Studio and Ali especially, is world-class and exceeded all our expectations. We used Ali's services for our wedding and were highly impressed with his professional, savvy and friendly approach. Ali was very caring and helpful, simply great at understanding our wishes for our big day. It was a joy to have him with us and I can only speak the highest of this company and his work. We would be delighted to work with Ali again in future.

    Incredible work!! I would hire Ali again!

    Our friends hired him for their wedding, which fell through during COVID. Although it fell through, we took the opportunity to reach out to Ali. Best decision yet! Just from the sneak peak, the pictures are INCREDIBLE! We cannot wait to see more!!! His relaxed demeanour and his attention to detail was all we needed to add to our vision for our big day! He also took the time to listen to things we wanted and to respond to anything photography related. Plus, both our families asked him to capture some pictures and he did just that without a complaint! You will not regret your decision!!!!! Hire him!

    Wishing you a lifetime of love and happiness.

    Expectations blown away!

    We hired Ali for our wedding that took place in August 2021 and we could not be more happy that we did. Our original wedding date was booked for October 2020 and so we had to postpone. Ali was very accommodating and responsive when it came to the numerous date changes. Ali is friendly and professional. He has a keen eye for locations to take amazing pictures that will be cherished for a lifetime!

    Skilled, Professional, Dedicated!

    I'll start first by saying that I highly recommend Ali and his team!!!
    The wedding day can be overwhelming with organising events and it was indeed a gigantic bonus to have Ali and his team as Photographers/Videographers on our special day : They were punctual, organised, while being super friendly and easy to work with. they had brilliant and modern ideas for photos and videos. Their presence added a warm ambience to the event, their dedication and thoroughness to make the snapshots/sketches of our day an invaluable success should be the right of every bride and groom. Those photos and videos will remain in our possession until the end of our days and we couldn't be any luckier to have chosen the delicacy of this tremendous team.
    Thank you Ali for everything you've done!
