Port Hood Cape Breton Nova Scotia Wedding

A Port Hood Outdoor Wedding

March 21, 2017

An old wood framed church bordered by white picket fence in Glencoe Mills. The perfect little bend along the Southwest Mabou River, surrounded by rock cliffs and evergreens in Glencoe Station. Beautiful spots for a wedding and reception respectively. It had been bone dry and hot all day - dust from the Upper Southwest Mabou road had worked its way into the car despite having the windows closed.

A Lord Nelson Hotel & Suites Wedding

March 13, 2017

Open for business in October of 1928, the Lord Nelson Hotel dominates the skyline on the corner of South Park & Spring Garden, overlooking small shops to the south and the Halifax Public Gardens to the west.

A Port Williams Backyard Wedding

March 6, 2017

It was a fantastic ceremony at St. John's Anglican Church. Towering oak trees and rolling farm land on the exterior, tongue-and-groove wood ceilings and chandeliers on the interior. A summer breeze worked its way from the rear of the church, cooling those in attendance and bringing the scents of the Annapolis Valley with it.

To the north of the church lies woodland with a narrow path running through it. Trees transitioned to tall grass and bushes, which transitioned to a manicured lawn and the site of the reception - Grainne & Matt's front yard. Their wedding day was another perfect example of focusing on the basics: celebrate, socialize and party. No distractions - just grilled food, chilled alcohol and good company.
