Who is Love is Nord?
We’re Josée and Patrick, a couple of photographers specializing in intimate weddings and elopements in nature everywhere in Quebec.
For years, we’ve traveled throughout the province, helping couples celebrate their love away from the beaten path.
We love the salty scent of the St Lawrence River just as much as the fresh aroma of the boreal forest after the rain. What excites us? Capturing authentic moments, whether with our feet in the water or hair in the wind, bathed in the golden light of a sunset. Because for us, a wedding isn’t a staged event – it’s a raw, intimate, and sincere moment that reflects who you truly are.
They really took the time to find the place of our dreams for our elopement and also helped us find and coordinate top vendors in Quebec, including accommodations. We couldn't have asked for better!
Sangeeta & Frank
I love the photos we received! Some of the scenes are just magical. They capture who we are in a super-natural way and perfectly symbolize what we mean to each other. If you're a couple who wants something more intimate and you're a bit reserved or introverted, they'll really be able to help you create and immortalize a unique wedding day.
Karolina & Justin
On our first video call with Josée and Patrick, we clicked with them immediately. They brought so much joy and enthusiasm to the planning process; it was truly a pleasure to work with them.
