About

On WeddingWire since 2018

Last update: February 2025

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!

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!

Talented and dedicated photographer!

I recently had my engagement shoot with photographer Ali, and I have to say I was thoroughly impressed with his work. From start to finish, Ali was incredibly nice, patient, and made me feel very comfortable even though I'm not a fan of taking photos.

What really stood out to me was his dedication to getting the perfect shot. Ali waited with us until sunset just to capture those breathtaking sunset photos, which I appreciated so much. I can't wait to see how the wedding photos turn out because I'm confident they will be amazing.

Overall, I highly recommend Ali for anyone looking for a photographer. He has a great personality, excellent skills, and knows how to make you feel comfortable in front of the camera. I'm so glad I chose him for my engagement shoot, and I can't wait to work with him again.

Very flexible, great energy, highly recommend

Ali photographed our NYE wedding (which took place between 11pm-12:30am) and he did a wonderful job. We were very rushed, which required him adapt and quickly adjust to a very compressed timeline, but even with those challenges/constraints, he still delivered a number of great photographs. He's very kind, very gracious, very flexible, and he had really great energy (which is important when it comes to a wedding photographer). Highly recommend.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

Hi, I’m Ali!

Since 2011, I’ve been capturing love stories with an approach that’s both authentic and timeless. Weddings and engagements are filled with once-in-a-lifetime moments, and I focus on preserving them naturally—without unnecessary staging. My editing remains consistent across all my work, with dreamy tones where beige and red subtly dominate, creating a warm, elegant feel.

I work with natural light and thoughtful composition to craft images that feel real and full of life, ensuring that each couple’s unique connection shines through.
