I'm still here . . .

March 2, 2021

2020.

What a wild ride that was.

But i’m still here.

I’m not ready to get into the meaty posts just yet, but I did want to share a brief update and let you know what lies ahead. Because of COVID I didn’t start until the 8th of August. Even then there were only a handful of weddings that I was able to document … but I made the most of it and had fun. What a rush. I’ll work on posting some of those shortly.

I spent most of 2020 with my family. Kids grow up fast and I’m grateful for the extra time I’ve had with them. I got my hands on an angle grinder and started cutting apart my wife’s 1965 Vauxhall Viva HA. Then I taught myself how to shape metal. How to weld. How to body fill and paint. It’s still a work in progress but it kept me going. I started wood working. Found a full time job that paid the bills.

What will 2021 bring? I’ve got to finish that car. There is still some furniture to make. Time to spend with the kids. But I do believe that I’ll be busier with photos. 2019 busy? Not quite, but I’m sure it’ll work out just fine.

Hang tight. Hold on.

Stay safe. Stay healthy.

We’ve got this.

A lovely mid-summer wedding at Sainte-Famille Wines Ltd, located just outside of Windsor Nova Scoita. Candid wedding photographs captured by Halifax based photographer Evan McMaster.

A Sainte-Famille Wines Ltd Wedding

June 3, 2020

Another one from the archives, and one I’ve been meaning to share for some time now. A lovely day spent in the Windsor and Falmouth area of Nova Scotia, following country roads along the Avon River to Sainte-Famille Wines. This would mark my first visit to the property and I hope it won’t be my last - work your way through the vineyard to the top of the property and you’re rewarded with a view of the Avon River itself and the patchwork of fields that hug it’s banks. It’s a fantastic wedding venue for an outdoor ceremony and a pavilion reception.

Many thanks to the owners of The Clockmaker’s Inn in Windsor, Nova Scotia. A last minute change in the weather meant that we were in desperate need of some sheltered spots for formal photos. They were more than happy to accommodate the group and the covered porch was a lifesaver.

Winter Wedding at Herring Cove

March 31, 2020

My first wedding of 2020 - held on the 1st of January! A small elopement in the North End of Halifax, followed by formal photos along the trails of Sir Sandford Fleming Park and the Herring Cove Provincial Park Reserve. For those who aren’t aware of its existence, the trails are located just outside of the village of Herring Cove, Nova Scotia. They are a must. Do visit when you can.

We may not have had the snow that we wanted, BUT I do want to highlight one important thing about this time of year - there are still some fantastically rich colours that exist in the midst of our winter months. AND you’re always able to inject your own. I feel that these wedding photos serve as the perfect example of that. From the rich greens, reds and orange tones of Sir Sandford Fleming Park to the warm tones of the granite and the cool tones of the waves at the Reserve. Lets not forget about the colours found within the floral arrangements, that fantastic suit and those amazing nails.

Stay safe and stay healthy everyone! I’ll do my best to keep up with the regular blog updates.
