Testimonial - Ottawa Wedding Photographer


"My wife and I had the pleasure of having our wedding photographed by Chantal Benoit. Chantal and her husband were able to capture our most memorable wedding moments in such a way, so that we can look back at our photos in 25 years and be able to experience our special day all over again. Her professionalism and experience shows, not only in the final product, but in her dedication and passion for her craft. We felt like we’ve known Chantal for years, making the day stress free and simply enjoyable. We are extremely happy that we chose Chantal Benoit Photographer to shoot our wedding day and we would recommend her to anyone else planning a wedding.

Thank you for the wonderful memories."

Adèle and Karsten

Baby Raina - Ottawa Baby Photographer


Isn't she gorgeous!!!


Krista, Angelo and Mateo came to see me in September for pregnancy photos. They came back for a family photo and to capture baby Raina. She slept through the family shots but was wide awake and very alert for her photos. Raina looks like her big brother Mateo.


I thought this photo was just adorable had to post it on my blog.

This little piggy went to sleep


I met Martine and Hugo when I photograph the wedding of Martine's sister last year. We all had a blast and the photos were beautiful.


Martine and Hugo wanted me to capture their newborn baby daughter Peneloppe. She slept almost through the entire session so it gave me a chance to try some of my new props.


Thank you for allowing me to capture this time if your lives.

Ottawa Family Portraits


Dawn and Grant came to see me about 7 years ago to photograph their wedding. It was such a beautiful wedding day at St. Patrick's church on Fallowfield Road.


They came back to get some family portraits done for Christmas with their son Caleb and Gavin. I thought they were just adorable as everyone look so casual.


I look forward in photographing more of that family as the kids get older.

Ottawa Portrait Photographer


Back in November my cousin's daughter came to work with me for a career day with her school. I explained to her the pros and cons of being self employed, showed her how to do a studio portrait session and gave her some retouching tips.


While I had her in the studio I took some shots of her. This one is my favourite.

Ottawa Maternity Portrait


Melanie and Marc came down from Montreal so I could capture the first step of their child's life.


I love this photo because they look so calm and peaceful.


Congrulations to both of you and I look forward in photographing your newborn baby.
