A Haliburton Hotel Wedding

February 9, 2018

The courtyard at Haliburton Hotel is an oasis that every Halifax wedding photographer should have an opportunity to document. Removed from the traffic of Barrington and Morris Streets and sheltered by a canopy of green leaves, it presents itself as the perfect spot for a small, intimate wedding. It was an honour to have been there for Jen & Amy, an honour to have watched them walk into the courtyard together and an honour to have watched the beaming smiles of those in attendance. These two have shared much already and the joy conveyed by all on that summer afternoon is a good indication that more great things are to come.

Captain’s House Wedding

January 28, 2018

Warmth breathes life into Chester each year - sails unfurl in the harbour, flowers burst into bloom along narrow lanes and a steady stream of residents trickle back into their summer homes. Located by the water is The Captain's House, a three storey home forgotten by time and a three storey home that epitomizes the charm of the surrounding community. The home itself was built by the late Rev. John Seacomb and then sold to Captain James Allen at a later date. It served much of its second life as a restaurant and inn before being converted to a rentable vacation home and wedding venue. As a Halifax wedding photographer the property has quickly become a favourite - the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. With family and friends at their side, Loren and Greg were wed on its back deck by her father. I wholeheartedly believe that I'll be hard pressed to witness another ceremony that shares the same level of emotion. Everything was on proud display - a non-stop celebration of all they hold dear. From private vows before the ceremony to Loren's father presiding over the ceremony itself. And the weather . . . A1. The most perfect sunny summer day that lead to the most perfect sunset. Warm pastel tones over the water - it doesn't get any better than that. The property would serve as both church and reception hall which meant that there was no rush, no need to move from one site to the next - just the requirement to enjoy the company of those in attendance.

Greenfield, Nova Scotia Cottage Wedding

January 25, 2018

Greenfield, Nova Scotia. Where cottages on the Amherst Shore are exposed to the Northumberland Strait, cottages in Greenfield cozy up to the Medway River, fed by Lake Ponhook to the North. Whitney & Justin chose the family cottage that Justin had grown up with as the site of their wedding and reception. By the time I arrived the tables had been set underneath a canopy of maple trees in the backyard. Dinner was to be a greasy breakfast, the staple meal of any Canadian cottage. Trays of thickly sliced bacon and potatoes lined the countertops - trays of fruit and vegetables would soon follow. Baseball caps, life jackets, travel-sized boxes of Fruit Loops, mis-matched blankets & quilts, lanterns, pine needle covered roofs, rogue squirrels, ducks, fishing rods and family photos. All of these (and so much more) made for the perfect wedding day backdrop. These two chose to focus on the simple things, and their day was so much richer for it. Thank you for allowing me to be your wedding photographer.
