An amazing multi-day affair. From a backyard meet & greet / lobster boil to an outdoor ceremony below Halifax's Saraguay House. I lost track of the smiles and the laughter. A solid group of people who weren't afraid to let loose and celebrate. And the late night grilled cheese truck? Amazing.

The Saraguay House is located along Purcells Cove Road, right next door to the Royal Nova Scotia Yacht Squadron. It’s easy to miss from the road - the main building is tucked behind a stand of pines and sits on a slope that leads to the Northwest Arm. But once you find it? I’d argue that this is one of the nicest venues in town. And that isn’t based on the structure itself, the beautiful grounds or the views through the floor to ceiling windows. The staff are second to none - from the bar to the kitchen. Have you booked a wedding at the Saraguay House? You know what I’m talking about. Thinking about it? Touch base with them ASAP. This one is a true gem.

Another special shout out to the mad talent at Jay Wells Salon - tucked away in a Brunswick Street Historic Property and making guests feel like they’re home.

Warm sun and a steady breeze. The perfect mix for an afternoon of sailing along Halifax's Northwest Arm. It was also perfect for an intimate outdoor wedding underneath the trees at the Royal Nova Scotia Yacht Squadron - North America's first yacht club. Although the club didn't originate in its current home the post and beam structure is steeped in character and tucked away in a quiet part of the city. Nautical charts and instruments line the walls, as do various cups and awards that have been earned over the years. To the left of the club is the Dingle Tower, overlooking the northern part of the arm. To the right lies the harbour entrance and the rolling swells of the Atlantic. This would be my first visit to the club as a wedding photographer and I am thankful to Rob and Jody for the opportunity to document their day. Its not everyday that I'm able to sail the Northwest Arm, but I hope to be back again soon.
