Heidi and Brandon - Yarmouth engagement photography

When Heidi booked this engagement session for the end of March, I was hoping we might get a nice, warm Spring day. Maybe even the first signs of green on the trees. Instead, we had to postpone a day because of a snowstorm and ended up with this snowy wintery feel to the pictures. I wasn't disappointed though because I knew beforehand that Heidi likes snow pictures. When we started the session, it quickly became clear that the weather wouldn't have mattered a bit. Even in a hurricane, these two would be happy to be together, getting more and more excited for their upcoming wedding. They made it fun to be trudging through the fresh snow at the end of March. I'm really looking forward to their wedding in August (and I can guarantee no snow). You can check out their slideshow here! [blogshow id=46c4 player=0 autoplay=0 toolbar=0]

Kaitlynn and Phil

When we met for a wedding consultation, Kaitlynn let me know they were looking for something a little bit different for their engagement session. They wanted to do their pictures in the winter snow. Snow can be hit or miss here in Yarmouth some winters. Thankfully the deep freeze this year worked in our favour and we got a great day last weekend. It was a lot of fun. You'd have to be trying pretty hard though to not have fun with Kaitlynn and Phil. I'm really looking forward to their wedding. [blogshow id=46b6 player=0 autoplay=0 toolbar=0]

Allison and Nick - Yarmouth wedding photography

It is so nice when a couple can get through the stress and craziness of a wedding day and be able to enjoy themselves. When it started raining torrentially, it didn't matter, because they were getting married. When their first dance got interrupted by a fire alarm, it didn't matter, because they were married! (Note to future wedding guests: Only surprise the bride and groom with sparklers during their first dance if the reception is outside. That way the fire trucks don't have to visit.) It was a really fun day with a delightful couple. [blogshow id=469b player=0 autoplay=0 toolbar=1]

George Snow and the sinking of the Nelson B

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

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]
