About

Hi, I'm Ali Mova, an experienced wedding photographer based in Montreal. Since 2011, I've had the honor of photographing over 300 weddings in and around this beautiful city.

My style is all about capturing the joyful, candid moments that reflect the true connection between couples and their loved ones. I focus on natural expressions and use minimal instructions to highlight your unique bond, so your photos feel authentic while providing guidance when needed. I make sure both you and your guests feel at ease in front of the camera.

Lighting is key to my work, and as a big nature lover, I love to incorporate golden hour sunset shots, and other soft, natural light to create magical photos.

I personally edit all the photos to maintain the standards and style I've carefully developed over the years.

Having worked with couples from a wide variety of cultures, I understand the importance of reflecting your unique story and traditions on your wedding day.

If my style resonates with you, let's connect and discuss how we can capture your special day!

Beautiful photos, fantastic experience!

Ali was fantastic to work with. He was willing to put together a package specifically for our plans, with the number of hours we wanted and the addition of live zoom streaming for a few guests who were unable to attend in person. He was professional and thorough. We agreed during a call before the wedding which specific photos we wanted and what was most important to us, and he prioritized that on the day. We had given him a list of the specific family portraits that we wanted and he had them printed out and moved through them efficiently, ensuring that everyone got to spend time enjoying the cocktail hour. The photos from our couple photoshoot, the ceremony, and the reception are exactly what we hoped for - they encapsulate the joy of the day, and brilliantly capture the light of our outdoor ceremony. Ali was great to work with, and put us at ease even when we weren't the most comfortable posing. He was very quick to get us the sneak peak photos (a week) and the full set of photos followed a few weeks later. I would highly recommend Ali as a photographer!

So worth it!

Ali have us peace of mind. As a bride going in blind he guided us for the best pictures and locations. We also got our photos quickly and they turned out beautiful. His work is magnificent for the affordability. You won’t regret booking with him if you’re like me just trying to have lovely memories of your day.

Excellent Service - Fast Turn-around

From the first messages we sent to Ali, he was very responsive and worked with us to create a photo shoot list as well as guiding us through the process of planning the wedding photography.
We sent Ali a list of photos we wanted, and gave him several inspiration pictures for reference.
On the day of, Ali was incredible at getting the shots we wanted, and choreographing us and our guests to get the best pictures. He worked very quickly and professionally, getting us hundreds of high quality pictures for our wedding.
He did a great job with the editing as well, and gave us the complete set of edited photos in only 19 days.
Incredible photographer, we are so happy we picked him for our wedding.

Absolutely Amazing

From our very first meeting for our engagement photos all the way to our wedding day, Ali was absolutely amazing. He captured our special moments incredibly & the photos were even better than I could have imagined. I cannot recommend him enough. We will definitely be using him for all of our future events!

Made us so comfortable

Thank you for your fantastic work and for your fun presence the day of our wedding! We are two camera-shy people, yet you made this experience so comfortable for us! We cannot thank you enough!

We are very pleased with the pictures and the style and are so glad we chose you to capture the essence of our special day :)

Wedding M&J

Ali was amazing throughout the entire event. He was extremely attentive to our needs. He moved between two different locations (mine and my husband) so we could both have pictures getting ready. Throughout the ceremony, cocktail hour and party, he did not stop taking pictures so we could remember every moment. I would 100% recommend him, he is the BEST!
