Your wedding day is made up of moments that cannot be recreated. The anticipation before the ceremony, the quiet exchanges no one else notices, the laughter, happy tears, and the energy shared between you and the people you love most.
My approach is rooted in presence and storytelling. Rather than directing every moment, I focus on documenting your day as it naturally unfolds, allowing you to be fully present with the people around you. With a calm and intentional presence, I blend documentary coverage with soft guidance when needed, creating space for genuine moments while ensuring you always feel comfortable and supported. The result is a collection of images that feels natural, emotional, and true to your story.
Honest moments, thoughtfully documented.
WHERE DOCUMENTARY MEETS ARTISTRY
I've always been drawn to the moments that happen naturally. The nervous laugh before walking down the aisle, the way someone reaches for your hand without thinking, the glance exchanged from across a crowded room. Small moments that pass by in an instant, yet somehow become the ones you remember forever.
Before becoming a wedding photographer, I spent twelve years working in interior design. That experience shaped the way I see the world and taught me to notice light, movement, balance, and the thoughtful details that quietly tell a story.
Today, I bring that same perspective to every wedding I photograph, documenting the day with an eye for both honest emotion and artistry while preserving the moments that matter most.

NYC BASED WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER
rooted in connection over perfection.
You deserve to experience your wedding day, not perform for it.
My role is to create photographs that feel elevated and intentional without turning your celebration into a photoshoot. Through a blend of documentary coverage and soft guidance, I help you feel comfortable in front of the camera while giving you the freedom to focus on what matters most: being fully present with the people you love. The result is imagery that feels both beautiful and genuine, capturing not only how your day looked, but how it felt.
Authentic moments, artfully captured
YOUR WEDDING DAY SHOULD NOT FEEL LIKE A PHOTOSHOOT.
BUT YOUR IMAGES CAN.
"Wedding Photography Experience - 5/5!"
From our first conversation, Magalie Lafleur Photography stood out for her clear and polite communication—she responded promptly to every question and made us feel heard throughout the planning process. On our wedding day, she was incredibly supportive and worked seamlessly with our entire wedding party and venue staff, keeping everything running smoothly. What really impressed us was how her photos captured exactly what we'd envisioned, with stunning landscape shots that felt natural and intimate. She has a gift for catching people in their best moments, whether it was our first look, ceremony, or candid shots of group photos with guests. Before the wedding, Magalie was thoughtful and helpful, answering questions and easing our nerves with her warm approach. For example, she thought of adding a veil last minute which were a stunning addition to the photos! We couldn't be happier with how our photos turned out and would absolutely recommend her to any couple looking for a photographer who truly cares.
"If I could rate Magalie higher than 5 stars I would! "
She was nothing short of amazing throughout the entire experience. She was very communicative answering all emails quickly and staying in touch from the initial discussion to the day we received our final album. She listened to all of my requests and concerns with incorporating certain elements of the day into the photos and avoiding certain editing styles. She truly went above and beyond to make my wedding day move smoothly as well, which was not one of her responsibilities (truly was a lifesaver). I even had multiple guests express what a joy she was to have around! You cannot go wrong working with Magalie. I know I can't wait to work with her in the future!

"We absolutely loved working with Magalie for our little city hall elopement! "
From the very beginning, she was so kind, friendly, and thoughtful. During our initial call, I mentioned that I’m really shy and tend to get stiff and awkward in front of a camera or when there are people around. On the day of, she remembered that and took us to a quieter, more private area — it instantly made me feel so much more relaxed. She made the whole experience feel like we were just hanging out with a friend all morning rather than posing for photos. The pictures turned out so beautifully and truly captured the joy of the day. We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer to share such a special moment with us. Highly recommend Magalie to anyone looking for a photographer who’s not only incredibly talented but also genuinely cares about making you feel comfortable and seen.
"She was an outstanding choice for our wedding photographer"
From our very first interaction, Magalie's communication style of email, text, and phone calls put us at ease and made the entire process seamless. Her work is simply brilliant - she has an incredible eye for detail and a natural talent for capturing the love and joy of the moment. Magalie was incredibly patient and calm throughout our wedding day, even when we had to accommodate a last-minute change in location. She made both my husband and I feel completely comfortable in front of the camera, which was especially impressive given that my husband is not usually one for photoshoots. By the end of our engagement shoot, he was even suggesting different poses we should try! Magalie's professionalism, skill, and personal touch made her an invaluable part of our special day. We are thrilled with the results and couldn't recommend her more highly.

"Two words: HIRE. MAGALIE"
Words cannot even begin to express how wonderful she is. Magalie is truly your biggest fan on your wedding day. We booked her for our wedding and engagement photos. When the engagement photos came we were so nervous! We had never taken photos before together like this. Magalie put us at ease, made us feel comfortable and our photos came out beautifully. She is the best professional third wheel! She is an expert with her editing, composition, and the photos reflect that. On our wedding day, we were running about an hour late. Our photos would never show that, because she worked to keep us all calm, and then still get all of our photos that we wanted. She took our inspiration and made it reflect our day. Not a day has gone by where I haven’t looked at them. Hiring Magalie was our best decision we made for our wedding day.
