Halifax Nova Scotia Wedding Photographer

Me.

Weddings are my PASSION; I love every moment & detail! My inspiration comes from the relationship that I build with you. I consider EVERY client a potential friend & approach every wedding from that fun, part-of-the-gang perspective. My images tell your story not from a "fly on the wall" point of view, but from a "friend at the party" point of view. The emotion I capture is in real time, not forced, coaxed, or re-enacted. The memories, therefore, are of the actual circumstances, rather than "what the photographer made us do". I strive to stay ahead of the trends and on the cutting edge of the photography industry. I have an intense knowledge of lighting, both natural & artificial, along with the tenacity it takes to create jaw-dropping images. Being creative is great, but creating an image that speaks to its viewer, comes alive, and translates emotion, for me, is the ultimate achievement; that is what takes me from photographer to story teller.

So about me ... I'm truly in love & have been for 9 years, married over 6, and we have 2 amazingly awesome kids with 1 oversized golden retriever (who's basically grown to become a giant teddy bear). I'm kind of crazy, kind of smart, & kind of funny, but not fully any of these. I can be a little eccentric, out of the box, & think of myself as quite unique. I'm tall, I'm energetic, and I'm passionate about what I do. I'm active, a marathon runner, and I have a hard time staying still. I love hanging out and being close to friends and family. My style, much like my personality, is fun, fresh, hip, bold and real. And to be perfectly honest, if I didn't have to work a day in my life, I'd still be a photographer.

The Applause – Halifax Photographer

It wasn't a wedding, but there were are lot of happy and emotional moments during a corporate dinner that I photographed at Da Maurizio last week. It was a great event, and lucky for me also happened to be at one of my favourite restaurants in Halifax ... and here's one of my favourites from the celebration.

			This will be a special wedding for me as I’ll be the photographer and best man. Steve and Lindsay’s wedding will be in Halifax this October and I’m thrilled to be part of their celebration in more ways than one. We recently braved the bitter cold for our engagement session, and these two certainly had no problem heating things up for the camera. Here are a few of my favorites …

			Ringing In The Wedding Season – Halifax Wedding Photographer
		
	
		
		
		
	
			I’m all for practicing so I thought it was awesome when Liam over at Applehead Studios suggested that a few of us Halifax wedding photographers get together and talk about everything and anything related to wedding photography … we even had an assignment – to come up with a few shots of wedding rings to share during our meeting. I always try to get a ring shot at every wedding and thought this was a great way to get a little creative with our own wedding rings – so here’s a few that I came up with …




And if you get the chance, check out “Applehead Radio” … every Wednesday Liam will feature a wedding business in Nova Scotia and talk to them about what they do. Bridal shop owners like Felicity Bridal, photographers, videographers, hotels, florists and make-up artists. It’s an awesome idea and a really great way to showcase Halifax wedding businesses.
