Couples searching for a George Mavitzis Montreal wedding photographer profile should use georgemavitzis.com, not the website previously attached to this listing. The current domain identifies George Mavitzis by both name and profession, presents wedding portfolios, and publishes direct contact and pricing information. The former georgeonqueen.com address belongs to an unrelated Toronto restaurant, despite sharing the first name “George” and the old telephone and street details.

George describes Montreal as his home and offers wedding, elopement, petite-wedding, engagement and film photography. His official material emphasizes candid moments, intentional composition, natural or ambient light and an “in-camera” approach involving minimal post-production. This evidence-based profile was last reviewed on August 9, 2026. Couples should still confirm that posted packages, travel arrangements and their preferred date remain available before signing an agreement.

Services and specialization

George’s official portfolio is centred on wedding photography. It shows coverage of preparations, ceremonies, portraits, receptions and evening celebrations in a range of Montreal settings. A separate engagement-session offering is published on the pricing page, while dedicated service pages cover elopements, petite weddings and photography on film.

For smaller celebrations, the elopement page describes discreet coverage using natural and ambient light, without assistants, intrusive flash setups or tripods. It characterizes the visual approach as a blend of traditional photography and contemporary styling. Couples interested in analogue work can also ask about 35 mm film: the site describes a five-roll option of approximately 120 photographs and a larger option using ten or more rolls across the wedding day.

Service area and who it may suit

Montreal is the clearest confirmed base. George’s contact page also names Quebec City and Ottawa as places where he photographs weddings, while the pricing page is headed Montreal, Ottawa and Athens. He further states that he photographs weddings internationally and works with couples eloping to the Greek islands. The website title references Montreal, Toronto and destination work, but travel availability and costs require a direct enquiry.

The documented offering may suit couples who want one named photographer, substantial wedding-day coverage and a combination of candid documentation and composed portraits. The petite-wedding service is relevant to couples planning a smaller gathering, while the film option may interest those who want some analogue photographs alongside their principal coverage. Suitability should ultimately be assessed from complete galleries, not isolated portfolio images.

Photographic approach and deliverables

George says he tries to create the photograph at the point of capture and relies on minimal post-production rather than attempting to reconstruct an image later. His wedding portfolio includes indoor and outdoor celebrations, formal portraits, reception activity and examples from South Asian weddings. This documents variety within the portfolio without implying availability for every tradition, venue or event format.

For standard wedding coverage, the official pricing page states that an initial online presentation of studio favourites is provided within two weeks and the final online delivery of retouched images within four weeks. The longer package also includes a box of 200 printed 4-by-6-inch studio favourites. The elopement package describes high-resolution files for large-format printing, medium-resolution files for sharing and smaller prints, and a password-protected gallery.

Confirmed strengths and practical limitations

Useful documented features include transparent package prices, specified coverage lengths, stated delivery targets, printed photographs in the longer wedding package and separate album choices. The official site also provides focused portfolios for full weddings, intimate celebrations and film photography, allowing couples to compare more than one type of work before enquiring.

Important limitations concern information that is not published. The site does not provide a studio street address, a live availability calendar, travel-fee rules, tax treatment, image-count guarantees for standard wedding coverage or clear details about a second photographer. Prices for the film options are also not shown. These are evidence gaps rather than negative judgments about the service.

Pricing

The current official pricing page lists $4,250 for 12 hours of coverage by George Mavitzis and $3,750 for eight hours. It lists a one-hour couple engagement shoot at $450, including colour-corrected files. Optional albums are posted at $1,200 for a 20-page/40-sided flush-mount lay-flat album and $1,850 for a 20-page/40-sided, 12-by-12-inch Queensberry handmade matted album.

A separate elopement and petite-wedding page lists $1,800 for four hours, with additional hours custom quoted. The pricing page also states that a $1,750 signing fee is required to reserve the wedding date and is included in the final package total. Because the site does not clarify taxes, travel costs, film surcharges or whether every listed price applies to every destination, couples should request a dated written quotation.

Contact and booking

The confirmed telephone number is 514-992-6967. The official contact page also publishes george@georgemavitzis.com. No postal business address appears on the verified official pages, so the address field has intentionally been left blank; the legacy Toronto address belongs with the unrelated restaurant website and should not be used for this photographer.

An initial enquiry should include the wedding date, venue or city, desired coverage hours, approximate schedule and whether the couple wants an engagement session, physical album, petite-wedding package or film photography. Ask George to confirm availability and provide a written proposal identifying the complete price, payment schedule, travel charges and deliverables before paying the signing fee.

What couples should confirm

Before booking, compare several complete galleries that resemble the planned celebration, including similar lighting, ceremony conditions and reception size. Confirm whether George personally photographs the entire event, whether an assistant or second photographer can be added, how many edited images are expected, how long galleries remain online, and what printing or usage permissions accompany the files.

The contract should also identify overtime rates, travel and accommodation terms, taxes, cancellation or postponement provisions, backup arrangements, album revision limits and the delivery schedule. Couples choosing film should verify the number and type of rolls, whether film supplements or replaces digital coverage, the expected scan resolution and the additional cost. Destination clients should obtain city-specific terms rather than assuming Montreal pricing applies.
