Crystal Crescent Engagement Photo Session

Exploring Crystal Crescent Beach

January 24, 2020

Hello 2020! It’s been a while, friends. Almost 7 months . . . . .

Have things been busy? Absolutely. Have I had the time to blog? Absolutely. Will I take advantage of the time I have to blog in the coming season and avoid the mistakes of yesteryear? Absolutely. I have to. I owe it to myself, and I owe it to you. There have been a number of incredible projects and celebrations from the past two years that I’d like to share - in the coming weeks those will slowly make their way to my website.

Alongside those galleries will be a couple of opinion pieces - things that I’ve wanted to get off my chest for quite some time (including my decision to shutter most of my social media accounts!) as well as the formal announcement of a contest for the 2022 calendar year. The prize will be free wedding coverage to one lucky couple and it will involve a real world scavenger hunt and none of that ‘share this post ‘x’ amount of times or ‘like this’ or ‘like that’ nonsense. Full details will follow - be prepared to sharpen your problem solving pencils.

Chasing Light & Shadow at Polly Cove

March 18, 2019

A challenge for any wedding photographer is experimentation - stepping out of your comfort zone and trying something different during a session. Isolating a subject using focus / depth of field is something that we’re accustomed to, but what about isolating a subject using available light? Chasing light and shadow during this session was a goal of mine and I’m grateful for the light we had. A smile, clasped hands or eyes illuminated by the sun as the rest of the frame slips into the shadows. Perfection.

Duncan's Cove Moonrise Engagement Photo Session

January 11, 2017

I'd been a foolish Haligonian. 13 years in Halifax and I hadn't explored Duncan's Cove. 13 years in Halifax and I didn't even know it was there. My first visit was to the trails that skirt the cliffs by Parliament Rock and the Chebucto Head Lighthouse. The view from the top is incredible - Halifax to your left, the wide open Atlantic to your right.
