St. Mary’s Church - current home of the Indian River Festival. Conceived of and planned by hand and paper. Harvested and constructed by hand and tool. I can’t walk inside these structures without reflecting on their back story - the amount of work tied to each beam, each post, each plank, each moulding and each carving. Fir, pine, spruce, maple and birch are represented, all sourced from the immediate area. Heart and soul poured into every square inch - an inherent warmth as the end result. To build a structure such as this is one thing. To maintain it? Something else. Much like a relationship. Much like these two. Much like the family and friends who support them and came to fill this space with their laughter, joy and a warmth of their own.

From a round of Mario Kart in the morning and a stroll along Thunder Cove Beach (and a visit to the famous Teacup Rock!) to an evening ceremony and late night concert in the church itself - this was a perfect wedding day and a true pleasure to photograph.

I may be based in Halifax, Nova Scotia, but I love to document weddings throughout the Maritimes. Are you planning a wedding in New Brunswick? PEI? Newfoundland? Feel free to touch base via the contact section of the website! I’d love to chat details and find out more about your planned celebrations.
