Suzanne and Jean Guy headed for sunnier climate last winter when they got married. Earlier this summer they kept celebrating when they had a reception for their friends and family. Suzanne is an amazing local photographer (if you haven’t checked out her beautiful colourful and romantic pictures you really should) and I was honoured that she asked me to take some pictures at the party. It was a gorgeous July evening (I’m still catching up with my blogging from the summer) right on the lake.

A few weeks ago I had the chance to do a really unique session. Candace and Jacques wanted some engagement pictures done and Monica and Jeremy, their best man and maid of honour, wanted a couples session too. What made it really interesting is they wanted the sessions at the same time, on the Tusket Islands. Jacques and Jeremy are both lobster fishermen who fish in that area so it was a really good fit for the pictures.

This was my first trip out to the Tusket Islands and I really couldn’t have asked for a better day. This end of Nova Scotia is truly one of the most beautiful areas in the world.On top of being gorgeous, the islands have a really interesting history. They used to be populated with fishermen and their families, with the bigger islands each having their own cannery. Now the longest residents are the sheep that summer on a few of the islands. One of the locations we went to was an old stone lodge that had been build in the 1930s to host visiting tuna fishermen. It was great to get to know both couples a bit. It’s very clear that everyone involved in the upcoming wedding is really happy for Candace and Jacques and excited for their day. Monica and Jeremy seem like really true friends, both to Candace and Jacques and to each other. Thanks so much for a great day!

Congratulations Denise and Curt! A few weeks ago I tagged along and shot second for Suzanne at their wedding in Barrington. Suzanne’s a great photographer and it was fun seeing how she does a wedding. Huge thanks to Denise and Curt too for not minding me being there. Shooting second to someone else is an interesting challenge. My main goals were to stay out of the way and complement instead of copy Suzanne’s coverage. Even though the impending weather forced the ceremony and reception inside, the rain held off long enough to do the pictures outside.
