George Snow and the sinking of the Nelson B

in

I had the opportunity this past fall to spend some time with George Snow and record him telling the story of the night the lumber ship the Nelson B sank off of Port Maitland in 1967. George is now 91 but at the time of the sinking was both a fisherman and an MLA  in the Nova Scotia government. His boat was the first to reach the lifeboats and they were able to rescue all the crew. It is quite a story and this was a fun project to be a part of. You can see the project that this video was a part of here.  And you can read some more detail in a recent story published in the Yarmouth Vanguard here.

Sarah and Michael - Saint John Wedding Photography

in

Having grown up in the Saint John fog, whenever I'm getting ready for a wedding there I cross my fingers and toes for good weather (and maybe throw in a rabbit's foot for good measure). Whatever it was, something worked for Sarah and Michael. It was a beautiful sunny day for a wedding. I'm not sure that Sarah and Michael would have even noticed if it had been raining though, they were just so happy to be getting married. It is really fun to see couples getting married who are so clearly such great friends to each other too. You could see even before the ceremony was over, with their whispering and smiles during the license signing, that they were not just excited to be getting married but to be sharing the celebration together. And with friends and family flying in from around the world, they clearly weren't the only ones who were happy to be there to celebrate the start of their lives together. Congratulations again Sarah and Michael! [blogshow id=4686 player=0 autoplay=0 toolbar=1]

Katelyn and Julien - Yarmouth, Nova Scotia wedding photography

in

It feels like -25C outside this morning so I'm happy to be comfortably inside looking through pictures of warmer times. Hopefully the pictures of this beautiful wedding will warm you a little today too. It was so nice to be involved in Katelyn and Julien's wedding. Katelyn grew up here and Julien is from Montreal. I loved seeing the family and friends from Montreal mingling with the family and friends from Yarmouth, joining together in their support for Katelyn and Julien. And it was easy to see why everyone was so happy for them. They both are incredibly friendly and warm people who were an absolute delight to get to know and seem perfectly suited for each other. When Julien saw Katelyn coming down the aisle he just lit right up. They were just so happy to be together and to be getting married.

Logan and Ian - Yarmouth, Nova Scotia wedding

in

It was great to be involved in Logan and Ian's wedding day. Both the ceremony and reception were held at Ye Olde Argyler Lodge. It's hard to imagine a more romantic spot, right on the edge of the ocean, sailboats in the background.  It's also hard to imagine a couple who are more excited to be getting married. Throughout the day there were lots of smiles and laughs.  Congratulations again, Logan and Ian! [blogshow id=4629 player=0 autoplay=0 toolbar=1]
