An Autumn Wedding in Indian River Prince Edward Island

An Autumn Wedding in Indian River, PEI

February 15, 2019

St. Mary’s Church - current home of the Indian River Festival. Conceived of and planned by hand and paper. Harvested and constructed by hand and tool. I can’t walk inside these structures without reflecting on their back story - the amount of work tied to each beam, each post, each plank, each moulding and each carving. Fir, pine, spruce, maple and birch are represented, all sourced from the immediate area. Heart and soul poured into every square inch - an inherent warmth as the end result. To build a structure such as this is one thing. To maintain it? Something else. Much like a relationship. Much like these two. Much like the family and friends who support them and came to fill this space with their laughter, joy and a warmth of their own.

Herring Cove Wedding Photos

February 13, 2018

This was a fun session. Marco & Lena traveled from New Brunswick to have photos taken after their wedding. My heart was so completely set on taking them to the coast that I forgot about some of the logistics. I provided a map pin and a brief description of where we’d be heading, but failed to give them a heads up on the terrain. It’s rough and tumble. Rocks, roots, marsh and mud. Some dry spots, but you’ve got to hike to get to them. And there they were - dressed to the nines and wearing footwear suitable for a ballroom. #photographerfail.

But they were excited. As excited as I was to introduce them to Herring Cove. We took it slow. Backtracked a number of times. But didn’t slip. Didn’t fall. And what a night it was. Just the slightest breeze off the water and a lovely mix of pastel tones in the sky.

A Boscawen Inn Wedding in Lunenburg, Nova Scotia

A Boscawen Inn Wedding

May 13, 2016

In the heart of Lunenburg lies the Boscawen Inn. Built in 1888 (as a wedding gift nonetheless), Nika and Matt chose the Inn for their wedding ceremony and reception (and what a fantastic spot it is for wedding photos!). I'd had the opportunity to meet with them in early 2015 for a series of photos along the windswept granite of Peggy's Cove and was looking forward to working with them again. First impressions were that these two were very much in love and that their wedding day would focus on the celebration of their relationship.
