Where love and home meet the art of storytelling.
SOULFUL, VIBRANT, and a little UNCONVENTIONAL.
It’s an art to uncover pure joy and realness in our noisy world and radiate it from a photograph. Deep connection, simple gestures, knowing smiles, laughter & fun. Quiet, in-between moments of love, presence and comfort which trigger
It means you have been moved.
“Lucy, thank you so much for thegorgeous photos.
You captured our celebration in the most magical way.
I just loved seeing all the emotion on everyone’s faces and so, so many hugs.
It’s so beautiful.”
~Candace and Nick, Chateau Vaudreuil Wedding
The photographer
Imagination is the best kind of luxury.
Expressive storytelling. creative experimentation. A sprinkle of nostalgia.
I’m Lucy, a trusted Montreal wedding and family photographer with over a decade of experience photographing in Montreal, the West Island, and across Montérégie.
I work under the artist signature Lucy, Noir — a reflection of the creative side of my practice, where light and shadow, emotion and design come together to tell human stories with depth and care.
I work with couples and families who believe the best stories live in the places and with the people that feel like home. Some want to capture it simply. Others prefer something more tangible to hold, pass down, and treasure forever. I offer both.
This is today’s luxury — the freedom to imagine your own story. To blend modern creativity with the soulfulness of yesteryear. Because in a world overflowing with fleeting digital moments, there’s something essential about holding your story in your hands. A box of printed photographs will mean more than a scroll ever could.
Through BestKNDweddings, the art of love and devotion, and NESTfamilies, the art of home and belonging, I photograph with a service approach and an artistic eye; creating design-led and story-driven imagery that celebrates what it means to love and to belong.
The Process
lightness
Lightness is an original photography method I’ve developed — designed to combine:
Likeness - what you look like
Inner light - what makes you beautiful and unique and human
Physical light - Photography and spaces.
Where many are capable of taking photographs of what you look like, capturing lightness is a rarer superpower that sparks joy and ugly-cries.
The Style
Cinematic light meets poetic realism
I photograph through the lens of duality. Light blended with rich shadows, laughter wrapped in intimacy, elegance grounded in truth and the contrasting rhythms of our lives. Radiant moments softened by moody nuance; real stories through a refined, artful eye. A keen eye to read the room, anticipate the moment and find the imperceptible in-between.
LUCY, NOIR
personal work & creative exploration
Here’s me in my nest;
An eclectic cottage in the sub-suburbs.
It's a joy for me to spend time in my favourite lounge spot, sipping strong coffee from my cheerful Finnish design Marimekko mug. Reading beautiful design books like Kinfolk Home. Listening to dark Indie music. Hanging with my husband, daughter & pup. Dreaming of travel to places like Iceland and returning to magical and rugged Fogo Island.
