Some spaces almost insist on being photographed a certain way. Crew Collective in Old Montreal is one of them.
For Emma and Nelkas, the references were somewhere between Ocean's Eleven, Mad Men, and The Great Gatsby. A little drama, a little excess, and a room that could hold all of it.
I loved leaning into the darker corners of this wedding. The flash, the movement, the architecture, the occasional frame that feels more like a film still than a wedding photograph.
A mix of digital and film, and a reminder that not everything needs to be softened or made pretty to be worth remembering.
Housed in the former Royal Bank of Canada headquarters in Old Montreal, Crew Collective & Café is an extraordinary place to bring people together. Soaring ceilings, ornate architectural details, and a room with a character entirely its own. For couples drawn to historic spaces and celebrations with a strong sense of personality, Crew Collective offers something quite different from a traditional wedding venue. It was a fitting backdrop for Emma and Nelkas's celebration, and a particularly interesting space to photograph.
