A Beautiful Wedding at The Lakes Resort in Ben Eoin, Cape Breton It was a picture-perfect day when Vince and Deanne exchanged vows at The Lakes Resort in Ben Eoin, Cape Breton. Surrounded by their closest family and friends, the couple celebrated their love in a warm and intimate ceremony held inside the stunning venue. […]

Nestled between the rugged coastlines and vibrant wilderness of Cape Breton, Ingonish offered the perfect stage for a love story to unfold — and I had the privilege of capturing it. Lisa and Keigan were looking for something unique, away from the usual locations, and I was thrilled they wanted to make the drive to […]

  Last year, I had the pleasure of photographing Matt & Kayla’s wedding and the day had a mind of its own. The couple was ready to say “I do” outdoors, surrounded by nature and sunshine—but nature had other plans. The wind kicked up like it was auditioning for a role in a disaster movie, […]

Grad sessions are always some of my favorite photos to shoot. They are fun, energized, and so easy with these young people in front of my lens. Zoe’s session was no exception. This young lady was on top of her game. A wonderful student and accomplished highland dancer were just a couple of adjectives to […]

An engagement session is a vital part of the entire process. During your engagement session, you’ll get the chance to know me, experience how I handle posing and lighting. Every romance has to begin somewhere, and your engagement photos will show your family and friends the first chapter in your love story. Your engagement session […]

Charity and Trevor’s engagement session was so perfect. We took photos in the small fishing village of  Gabarus where Charity held many childhood memories. It’s such a beautiful beach and you must visit if you’ve never been there. Here’s to many years of happiness for this gorgeous couple.

I’m bringing you back to warm, sunny weather. Fingers crossed it happens again soon. I had the best time with Mike & Margaret shooting their engagement session. It was their idea to set up the fire on the beach and it couldn’t have turned out more perfectly. I can’t wait to shoot their wedding in […]

It’s been sooo long since I have done a blog post. In fact, I haven’t blogged any of my 2020 weddings. I guess you can call me lazy or distracted. But, whatever the reason, I need to be more on the ball. So hopefully, you will see me posting more. Looking at these photos gets […]

Bookings are coming in for family sessions as things are starting to open up. This is a family I photographed in Fall 2019. They are from Texas but spent some time living in Cape Breton for Dad’s job. They love the island so much that they wanted photos to commemorate their time here. There’s one […]

This had to be one of the most relaxed weddings I have ever photographed. Lorne & Deneca just wanted everyone to have a good time. The ceremony was small and intimate with only close family and friends in attendance. It was perfect. I have to say that Lorne was probably top 5 for nervous grooms […]

During these difficult times, I debated whether or not it was a good time to be sharing happy wedding photos. Should I just be focused on reading the depressing news as I have no actual work to do at this moment? Creativity is where I  thrive and all of that is on hold at the […]

Michael & Meagan were married in beautiful Ingonish. I always wondered what that little white stone church looked like inside and now I know. Such a magical place.

July 20, 2019 was the day Brett & Leah had their Cape Breton Wedding. They couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful day overlooking the water in GlaceBay.  The connection between these two young people was undeniable. They were meant for each other.  I was so honoured to capture such an amazing day. Vendors: David’s […]
