This is one I’ve been looking forward to sharing for quite some time now. Returning to my childhood home after 15 years was a surreal experience. A rewarding experience.

Concession roads and whiskey barrels. Cedar fence posts and northern leopard frogs. Fields of corn and alfalfa. Limestone homes and coyotes that howl late at night when the Canadian Pacific train rumbles through the township. The sound of crickets and the smell of Massey Ferguson tractors. Property lines marked by lilacs and mailboxes adorned with familiar names. Signs for ‘Smitty’s New & Used Appliances’ and the trickle of the Salmon River in the late summer sun. Spend a few minutes surrounded by these stimuli and it feels like you never left.

Not too long ago I found myself in Yarmouth, Nova Scotia for a New Years Eve wedding. It was the celebration of Whitney's older sister Jenna and her soon to be husband, Kevin. This past November I found myself in Ottawa with many of the same individuals - this time for Whitney & Lawrence's wedding. One of the nice things about being a wedding photographer is the ability to meet future clients at weddings - there are an endless number of opportunities to build connections and work through a network of friends and family. Every weekend is another chance to meet new faces and I find that to be equally priceless and rewarding.

It had been quite some time since I'd wandered the streets of Ottawa (close to 10 years to be exact!). Nepean point in early November is as cold as I remember it being, but the view is no less spectacular. There they were - two young hearts in front of the heart of the country. Success.

I may be based in Halifax, Nova Scotia, but I’m not afraid to travel. Planning a wedding in the Ottawa area and looking for a photographer? Touch base using the contact section of the website and we can discuss details!
