Last night I had the opportunity to collaborate with five of the best wedding photographers in Halifax. The challenge was to work a few great shots of a bride and groom, in a completely random scene.

I have to say that everyone was super friendly and didn’t seem to mind the fact that there was “a lone man in the room”. Once Caroline climbed down from the ceiling (after jumping with excitement over a Kitchen Aid Mixing bowl), everyone gathered outside for a few beautiful (and fun) portraits. Here’s a couple of my favorites …
