Montreal has a way of making a wedding feel cinematic before I even pick up my camera. Old stone buildings, winding streets, incredible architecture, pockets of green, warm summer evenings and approximately eight million opportunities for me to get distracted by really good light.
Kelly Schuster is a Montreal wedding photographer for couples who want their wedding documented as it actually felt, while still creating the kind of intentional, artful portraits you'll want to put on your walls. She photographs the emotional, unscripted moments happening around you, then steps in with direction when good light, an interesting frame or a slightly better place to stand is calling my name.
Timeless Love, Artful Storytelling

"I literally can't say enough amazing things about Kelly. She was our wedding photographer in 2021 and my Husband and I were in awe when we received our album..."
The queen, the legend, the unmatched. Kelly!!!
I can not praise her enough. Her work is so unbelievably powerful! I need to thank her for capturing our special day, and making us feel so comfortable! I couldn’t have imagined anything more perfect. She has such talent for capturing a moment. I’m speechless, and forever grateful.

"To sum it up in a few words: you would be silly not to choose Kelly. Kelly is amazing, truly. She is a creative soul who captures the intricacies that others may not even notice. "
Her passion and artistic style come through the photos, leaving you with a stunning album of feels and emotions. She is a candid queen, capturing quiet moments that tell a story of the whole day. No stiff, awkward poses… she makes you feel comfortable and confident. I’ve done three photo sessions with her and will only choose her to do any future shoots. We also hired her partner, Lucas, to do our wedding videography, and let me tell you, we are beyond ecstatic with the results. These two are a power couple that your wedding/event NEEDS. I would only ever recommend Kelly as your photographer. Thanks so much, Kelly and Lucas! We are watching the video and looking through the albums on repeat <3

If I could go back and do it again the only thing I would change is I would try to spend more time with her! We’re friends for life at this point.
I don’t think words can accurately describe how amazing Kelly is. She came with us when we eloped in Iceland and not only were the photos absolutely breathtaking, but she was the best person to hang out with on my special day (aside from my significant other). She was kind, and easy to talk to, and funny, and she understood all of mine and my husband’s weird references. If I could go back and do it again the only thing I would change is I would try to spend more time with her! We’re friends for life at this point.

Kelly is extremely creative and gave us the most beautiful photos to cherish forever! Kelly goes above and beyond what you could ever imagine.
Kelly is absolutely amazing! When planning our wedding the one thing we knew immediately was that we wanted to book Kelly! Kelly is extremely creative and gave us the most beautiful photos to cherish forever! Kelly goes above and beyond what you could ever imagine. We were lucky enough to have her partner Lucas capture the most beautiful wedding film! We felt like the stars of our own movie and now can’t imagine not having the video to look back on! It truly was an amazing experience and I wouldn’t change a thing! I can’t recommend Kelly enough and if you’re lucky enough to have Lucas by her side as a videographer you’re giving yourself the greatest gift! (If Kelly was busy we would have changed our wedding date, we love her that much!)
Kelly Schuster is one of Vancouver's most trusted professional photographers — known not just for beautiful images, but for the entire experience of working with her. Couples across Canada consistently describe their wedding day with Kelly as relaxed, natural, and fun, because she brings the kind of warm, unhurried presence that lets genuine emotions rise to the surface on their own.
Her approach to capturing special moments is rooted in honesty. No forced poses, no manufactured shots: Real, timeless wedding photography that reflects who you actually are and how your day actually felt. Whether it's a grand celebration at an urban Montreal venue or an intimate elopement in the Montreal area, Kelly brings the same level of care, artistry, and expertise to every love story she documents.
Absolutely. Kelly photographs weddings throughout Montreal and the surrounding region, whether the celebration is happening in the heart of the city or a little farther out.
During the planning process, Kelly works with couples to consider their venue, portrait locations and timeline so photography fits naturally into the day instead of turning into a three-hour field trip around Montreal.
Couples receive a sneak peek gallery of at least 20 images approximately 24 to 72 hours after the wedding, so they have something considerably better than everyone’s phone photos to look at while the day is still fresh.
Full wedding galleries are generally delivered within 10 weeks. The exact delivery timeline is also included in the wedding photography contract.
Yes. Wedding videography is available with Lucas alongside Kelly’s photography for a limited number of weddings each year.
Working together allows Kelly and Lucas to approach photo and film coverage as one visual team instead of having two separate crews competing for the same timeline, portraits and moments. Couples interested in both photography and videography for their Montreal wedding should mention it when they inquire so availability can be confirmed.
Videography is limited, and there is currently a waiting list. Please reach out to inquire about videography.
Kelly’s wedding calendar typically fills 12 to 18 months in advance, particularly for popular Saturday dates.
Couples planning a Montreal wedding are encouraged to reach out once they have their date and venue confirmed. Shorter-notice weddings may still be possible depending on availability, so it’s always worth asking.
