I am a French wedding photographer and videographer living in Canada. I shoot anywhere in South Ontario (Toronto, GTA, NOTL, St Catharines, Niagara region, Burlington, Hamilton, Muskoka...) but also Destination wedding (Mexico, France, Italy...). I focus on giving a world class experience to all my couples. My style of editing is modern, elegant, light. On demand I can offer a darker and more photojournalist shooting and editing approach. Our films are crafted with the same intention. For couples who dream of something grand and sweeping, we create cinematic films with rich visuals and an emotional score that feels like your own feature film. For those who treasure the genuine and unscripted, we offer an authentic documentary style that preserves your day exactly as it unfolded, raw, real, and wholly yours. The choice is always yours, and we tailor every film to reflect who you are as a couple.

20 Reviews for Michal J. Photography & Films
They were also amazing at handling the stressful moments that inevitably happen at weddings. When the timeline got tight, someone was running late, or things weren’t going exactly as planned, they somehow stayed completely calm and knew exactly what to do. They kept everyone relaxed and made stressful situations feel like no big deal.
The whole team was super personable, kind, and genuinely fun to have around. They didn’t feel like vendors who showed up, did their job, and left. It honestly felt like they were part of the wedding and part of the guest group. They were laughing with everyone, making people feel comfortable, and capturing amazing candid moments at the same time.
The creativity, energy, direction, and professionalism were all incredible. They made the whole photo and video experience feel fun instead of stressful, and we absolutely love what they created for us!
Highly recommend Michal J photography & films if you want a team that can handle the chaos, keep everyone calm, and still create amazing photos and films.
From our engagement shoot to our wedding day, every step of the process was smooth, professional, and genuinely enjoyable.
We had a Chinese wedding with a large number of guests and so many family groups and important moments we wanted captured. The Michal J. Photography team managed to capture every group we wanted and there were A LOT! while keeping everything organized and stress-free.
The photos and videos are absolutely beautiful. They didn’t just capture how everything looked, but how it felt. The big moments, small details, family memories, and candid moments were all captured with so much care. I was honestly very stressed about going over budget with wedding photography, but choosing Michal J. Photography ended up being one of the best decisions we made.
The quality, professionalism, and care they put into everything made it completely worth it, and we know we’ll treasure these memories for years to come. They made us feel completely at ease in front of the camera and knew exactly when to provide direction and when to let the natural moments happen. We’re so grateful to have had them document such an important part of our story.
We cannot recommend Michal and his team enough!
On the day of our wedding, the photo and video team was amazing. They were fun, kind, relaxed, and genuinely enjoyable to have around. They made us feel comfortable while still keeping everything moving, and they captured such beautiful photos with incredible composition. The shots feel natural, thoughtful, and perfectly reflect the day itself.
The editing was beautiful, and we were also really impressed with the fast turnaround time. The wedding video made us cry. It felt candid and emotional, exactly how we wanted it to be. Booking wedding videography was the best decision ever!
We are going to rebook him for other special occasions and definitely when we renew our vows.
I’ll get into Michal’s remarkable ability to capture and edit the most memorable moments later in the review. Michal maintained excellent communication before and after the wedding. He even booked his entire day off for us, just in case we needed him to stay later. He responded promptly to emails and texts, making it effortless to get ahold of him. He was always ready to answer our questions, making the entire process so easy. I've heard from many friends who waited months for their photos, but that was not the case with Michal. He sent us a sneak peek of our pictures in less than a week! I was shocked at how stunning the photos turned out. I immediately shared them with family and friends, and everyone loved how beautifully Michal edited the photos and captured the most amazing moments.
Despite the windy and cloudy weather on our wedding day, Michal made the photos look SO beautiful and they turned out fabulous. I am also not good at posing, but Michal guided us throughout the photoshoot. Michal is a talented photographer, and I highly recommend him to anyone!
