documentary wedding & lifestyle  photography in ottawa & quebec city

I'm Yves, the photographer and founder of Dyad Imagery. My work is rooted in observation and patience, allowing me to document stories honestly and naturally, with as little interference as possible. I believe magic lives in the quiet imperfections of everyday life, and in the moments that unfold naturally when no one is trying too hard.

Life rarely follows a perfect script, and that is exactly what makes it beautiful. As Forrest Gump said, “Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you’re going to get.”

The name Dyad comes from the idea of two elements that naturally complement each other. In life, there is always two ways of seeing things: a grounded pragmatic view based on what is there, and a more romantic one view where we see the authentic narrative of moments.  Together, these perspectives create balance.

Behind the name also lives the personal story that shaped it. I met my wife many years ago at work, where hallway conversations slowly turned into lunches, and eventually into a love story. Nineteen years later, we still share that same balance of perspectives. I can say that I am lucky to have found my soulmate.

Outside of photography, life is filled with family, friends, too many hobbies, a slightly dark sense of humour, and a house slowly filling with plants that somehow keep surviving. 

When I look at the heart of it, it all comes down to a fascination with human connection. The emotions people share, the perfect imperfect beauty of everyday moments. Having the privilege to witness and document those moments is something I will never take for granted.
