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.

Halifax Tall Ship Wedding

January 26, 2018

A boardwalk reveal, followed by lobster rolls, followed by a wedding within reach of George's Island, followed by celebratory drinks. This was a Halifax wedding that any photographer could love. April and Neil chose to surround themselves with a close knit group of family and friends on the decks of the Mar II. Sunny skies kept spirits high and a steady breeze off of the harbour entrance kept the sails full. No aisles and no pews. Just pure simplicity. A reception for extended family and their larger circle of friends was held at a family home in Seaforth, a tiny seaside community along Route 207. Alberta ribs on a custom made rotisserie, hungry Nova Scotians hovering over mussels, open doors & arms and an endless number of stories shared.
