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". 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

Kim & Dan

Monday, June 28, 2010

I always enjoy making so many new friends while capturing their special moments, and Kim and Dan are the perfect example. Working with this amazing couple on both their engagement session as well as Kim’s trash the dress shoot, I’ve had the opportunity to get to know them quite well. It was an honour to be part of their big day, a perfect wedding on a beautiful evening sailing the Halifax harbour on board the Tall Ship Silva, which included an incredible sunset to act as their backdrop. I was able to get to know the bridal party as well, as the couple welcomed me to join them while they toured this fine city in their limo after the wedding. It was a wonderful day spent with a wonderful couple, and I look forward to sharing many more memories with them in the years to come.
