Okay guys, It took me a little while to get this one together and that’s because it’s truly one of my all time favourites. Ryan & Celina said their vows at the at the incredible oceanside venue Harbour Mist in Chester, Nova Scotia in August 2021 and every single detail was incredible; the location alone offered a quintessential Nova Scotia backdrop and gorgeous rooms for all of the bridal prep (check out the dress photo below!), and the spectacular team of vendors they chose really brought this wedding to life (listed below). Narrowing these photos down to the ones in this post was a tough task and there’s so much more I would have loved to share, but it’s going to be a long one already!

Micro Wedding vs Traditional Wedding | Atlantic Canada Wedding Photographer

The concept of a micro wedding, also known as an intimate wedding, has gained popularity in recent years (and truthfully, some of my favorite weddings have been “micro”!). A micro wedding is a small and intimate wedding that typically has less than 50 guests. While many couples choose to have a large and traditional wedding, there are several benefits to having a micro wedding - let’s talk about it!

They can be tailored to your niche, include props, and are the perfect way to introduce yourself to your audience while still incorporating your personality - something a headshot just doesn’t do!

Kristina & Steve's Lifestyle Newborn Session in Halifax | Nova Scotia Portrait Photographer

It's truly something special to be invited into a client's life to capture their most precious milestones again & again; from engagement, to baby, and soon to to be wedding, it has been such a privilege to be there alongside Kristina and Steve (and now, little Madeline)!

This was such a sweet family session at their home in Halifax and I am so happy we could squeeze it in while Madeline was still tiny. Of course, we had to include their other baby, Casey the dog, who did so well with her new sibling!

I only take on a limited number of family sessions each year; booking is open for 2023, whether you want your own cozy indoor session, a playful afternoon in the snow or want a springtime session, you can get in touch with me here.

Sarah & Shane's Classic Chester Country Club Wedding | Nova Scotia Wedding Photographer

Sarah & Shane's Classic Chester Country Club Wedding | Nova Scotia Wedding Photographer

This week seemed like the perfect time to share Sarah & Shane’s rainy country club wedding from May - they had a little drizzle, but there was nothing that could keep them down!

From the moment we arrived, Sarah was cool and collected about the rain - the only thing that mattered was saying “I do” to her love, surrounded by their favourite people. To be on the safe side, they chose to move the ceremony indoors where the guests could take their seats and watch from the tables.

Luckily, after their ceremony, the rain let up and we were able to step outside for all of the portraits - and we had to include flower dog cutie Zeke! The overcast day gave us great, even lighting and really amplified the lush backdrop we had at the golf course; I’m a girl who loves greenery so I adored this location.

Sarah & Shane’s wedding style was classic and chic; some of my favourite elements were the stunning blush and cream tones in the florals, and the matching denim for all of Sarah’s girls, both perfect for a spring wedding. Scroll through to see some highlights from their big day!
