Conor & Tyler
Conor & Tyler were wed in one of the most beautiful locations on our island. The Keltic Lodge in Ingonish is one of my favorite venues to photograph with so much variety and some of the most amazing views. Cliff tops and blue waters aside; their chemistry and heartfelt family celebration for this beautiful couple are what really made their day truly special.
Erin + Stuart
Sometimes when I meet with a couple, especially after hanging out with them for an engagement session like I did for Erin & Stuart, it feels as though I'm not only capturing their wedding day, but I'm attending their celebration as a guest. I'm a privileged on-looker who gets to witness each moment and the excitement of their families and friends as
Aimee + Ashley
This wedding got me right in the feels. I just love these two and am so happy that they've found each other to share their lives together. They were both grinning like sillies all day — and that right there, is a recipe for happy days ahead.
Favourites of 2014
Wow, what a year it's been. I'm so happy that I'm able to do what I love on the island that I love, and meet so many amazing families and couples each and every year. I truly love what I do and take so much pride in capturing your moments and memories. 2015 holds some exciting new challenges,
Kaleigh + Matthew
After meeting Kaleigh and Matthew last summer and spending some time together for their engagement photoshoot, I knew that their wedding would be a good time with a lot of laughs. I wasn't disappointed. What a fantastic group of family and friends to spend the day celebrating with. Thanks so much for having me capture your
Amy + Eric
I left with 30+ fly bites, smeared mascara, a heart-full of happiness for two complete strangers. While the churches and venues on our beautiful island often leave me jaw-dropped, there's something so touching and naturally beautiful about celebrating outdoors, in someone's backyard. And in this case, Amy & Eric gathered their friends and family in Eric's parent's yard, overlooking beautiful
Kara + Matt
This was one of my favorite weddings, but not for reasons you'd think. The day itself was a bit dreary and rainy, which in itself always makes everyone involved in wedding photos a little bit more stressed out. This wedding day though, stressed me for another reason. You see, I didn't get to meet Kara and Matt
Erin + Brent
Below is a letter I recently received from a bride and a selection of images from her wedding day. My heart feels very full. “Dear Wendy, Looking back on our day, I have such fond memories. From my best friend lacing up my wedding dress in front of the antique mirror in my mom’s old room, to walking down
Emily + Kris
I should have known not to expect sand dunes and beach grass. Of course, capturing a loving couple on PEI’s beautiful golden coast was my first very excited reaction when Emily first told me about their Charlottetown wedding plans. Emily though, who I had met years ago in art school, has always been one to break the
Christie + Allan
It was a gorgeously warm day at Dundee Golf Resort & Cottages for Christie & Allan's beautiful wedding earlier this summer. Their ceremony was mid-afternoon, so they opted to break tradition a little bit and meet up before the celebration began. I absolutely love these moments, often called "First-Looks"— when the bride and groom sneak away privately
Kaleigh, Matthew + Remington
Remington was one happy pup to hear that mom and dad got engaged. Kaleigh and Matthew are getting married next year, so while they were home in Cape Breton on vacation, we got together for a little warm-up engagement shoot, and Remi tagged along for the experience. We walked a around downtown Sydney for a while and
Colleen + Jeffrey
A beautiful couple celebrate their love on a beautiful fall afternoon in Big Pond, Cape Breton.
Loan + Sean
I was so honoured and excited when Loan and Sean asked me to photograph their special day. Not only are they friends of mine, but also because they were performing a traditional Vietnamese tea ceremony. I love sharing in and learning about customs, and was very moved to see their families and cultures come together. Thank you for
Ali + Mark
Earlier this summer, Alyson and Mark were married at the beautiful Keltic Lodge in Ingonish, Cape Breton. We couldn't have asked for a more amazing day. The sun was shining, the couple was grinning, and their family, friends and guests came from far and wide to celebrate with them. I knew last summer after their engagement shoot,
Ahhh moment
There's the teary eyed father moment seeing her for the first time in her white dress. The "holy crap, I'm about to walk down the freakin' isle!" moment, usually quickly followed by a "do I have anything in my teeth?" moment. There's the "I'm the luckiest guy in the world" shaken with a little "damn, my gal looks stunning!" moment
Denise + Craig
There's nothing I like more than an organized bride, and Denise was certainly that. But she wasn't the stickler, fussy kind that got upset or stressed about anything. In fact, she was quite the opposite and was as cool as a cucumber all day. Thoughtful planning and care went into each detail, including her own beautiful invites
Angella + Ursula
I went to NSCAD with Angella & Ursula years back, so was thrilled they asked me to photograph their wedding. I knew the gals would want to do something totally creative and unique to them, and it certainly was just that. Days before their ceremony though, they wanted to do a pre-wedding photo session, so we could
Ruth + Adam
There are 2 reasons I title this blog post "When Friends get Married". First, because it's always extra special to photograph a wedding for friends. Ruth and I met and became pals in grade 7. Way back in the day. haha I was "super" excited when Ruth and Adam announced their engagement, then extremely flattered when they
Sarah + Jered
High school sweet hearts, Sarah and Jered enjoyed a beautiful late-summer wedding
December afternoon
Some afternoons I think my dear little MacBook is going to start smoking, or just keel over with exhaustion. haha I love you Apple, for making this beautiful work-horse. I thought I'd share a little glimpse of a typical December afternoon, while finishing up the last 2 weddings of the year. Meg and Matt's wedding, a wicked
Sarah + Kyle
Sarah & Kyle celebrated their wedding with family and friends in a beautiful backyard setting in June. What a lovely day -- sunny and warm, and full of smiles and laughter. Sarah was one of the quietest brides I've ever worked with, so it was extra special when she would burst into smiles. Despite a crunch for
Amy + Jeremy
Jeremy and Amy. Super in love. Their wedding was a small, intimate outdoor wedding on a beautiful August afternoon in Hubley, NS. The day couldn't have been better and I was so honored to be apart of it. I love weddings like this -- where a couple is surrounded by their close friends and family, and they can't
Allison + Margaret Anne
Allison and Margaret Anne had one of the most beautiful outdoor weddings I've ever seen. Stylishly-elegant is what I would call it. It took place on Allison's family property, which I always find so meaningful and calming for the families and couple involved. Complete with a roof-top look out, I climbed up before the ceremony ended to
