The studio has won over 100 awards to date, including Canadian Photographer of The Year, Ontario Photographer of the Year, and Ottawa Photographer of the Year by the Professional Photographers of Canada. Our photographs have appeared on over 250 magazine covers including Macleans, Ottawa Life and Time. Fashion ads we have created have appeared in Vogue and InStyle. We have covered the weddings of Ottawa designer Justina McCaffrey, hi tech wizard Michael Potter and TV celebrity Marlen Cowpland. Our wedding style varies from client to client…some preferring a more traditional approach, but most opting for a candid photojournalistic style. Some of our favorite locations include the Chateau Laurier, Plaza de La Chaudiere, Museum of Civilization, Westin Hotel, Beth Shalom as well as Strathmere and Stanleys Maple Farm for couples that want a rural look. Couvrette studio is one of Ottawa`s most longstanding photography businesses, having a reputation and experience that spans 30 years, yet we create funky, fun modern images for brides and grooms whose parents we photographed in the days of film. Our wedding images have been featured in Wedding Bells, Capital Style and Today`s Bride and online in countless blogs and sites. We are the photographers of choice for many local wedding consultants. We have photographed weddings and events not only in the Ottawa/Gatineau region but in Toronto, Montreal, Kingston and New York as well as countless small towns in between. One of our favorite locations is Montebello, an hour east of the capital as well as the city of Perth with its historic Mill. Our wedding and engagement portrait services are priced competitively and we generally create custom packages for each bride and groom. We offer a wide range of albums and frames as well as digital retouching services. Black and white as well as digital effects are also available on our wedding pictures. We are one of the few “studios” in Ottawa with an actual studio in case of rain. It is conveniently located on Gladstone Street in Centretown Ottawa. Couvrette Photography’s photographers combine a passion for creativity and technical expertise to capture your memories of the wedding day as well as the events you missed on that special day. Call us to start planning some fantastic wedding photographs.
