hi! I'm anita

I could tell right away that Victoria had her own vision in what she wanted for a grad session. She had a quirky sense of style which I loved and I knew this shoot was going to be special. She definitely knows how to express and pose like a girl that’s been doing this for […]

Jenika’s mom had contacted me to book a grad session in June. She said she wanted a photo that she could hang on the wall with her son’s grad pictures. I don’t think she realized that a grad session was more than just a cap and gown photo but a fun experience that the graduate […]

New Waterford was the setting for Alana & Coady’s engagement session. We started at their cute little home then travelled to the beach and the Low Point Lighthouse for some sunset shots. I couldn’t have asked for better weather for this shoot. Alana & Coady had known each other for a long time and had […]

I was asked by the Oxley Family if I would be able to take some family photos in Dingwall. They were here in Cape Breton from Ontario and wanted to capture some of the island’s beauty. I was up for a nice drive and I couldn’t wait to shoot in the highlands. The weather was […]

What a fun couple of hours I had photographing Mitch & Katie’s engagement session. We headed to a beach in Ball’s Creek that I actually often frequent with my dog. They said they are there all the time with their dogs so it’s funny our paths hadn’t crossed before. The clouds were starting to roll […]

I love doing engagement sessions because it allows me to get to know the couple before I actually shoot their wedding. I photographed Susan & Scott’s engagement session earlier in May at the Louisbourg Lighthouse when we finally had a sunny day. The trail there is breathtaking with its many jagged cliffs and across the […]

Nadine contacted me in a little bit of a panic stating that the photographer they had booked to do their CBU Nursing Grad photos couldn’t make it and asked if I could fill in. Luckily I was available so we planned to have the session at CBU. Once I met these three sweet ladies, I […]

Little Ella had her first birthday and mom wanted to celebrate it with a cake smash. I had the beautiful cake made by Not Just Cakes and Tara went above and beyond what I asked for. Thank you for that.We took a few cute shots of Ella before the cake but she really didn’t want to […]

Lorna told me she definitely wanted to have some newborn pictures done of the baby when he/she came along.  The wait was on to see just when the little one would make an appearance into this world. She went in to be induced and soon after she was the proud mother of a baby boy […]

Brenna and I have been back and forth for a while now on an exact date for her wedding and where she wants to get married. Stephen works in the US as an engineer and most of the planning is her responsibility. She said she’s put many miles on her car driving from here to […]

One of the main questions I get asked for almost all photo shoots is “what do I wear”? It really is important to wear the right clothing. Poorly selected outfits can take away from a great portrait. Your clothing choice needs to be flattering and make you look your best. So I’ve put together some […]

For Anita Clemens Photography brides of 2017 & 2018, I have published a small magazine to help them with the details that go into having a successful wedding day. One of the articles in there is called First Look vs. Traditional. I wanted to share it with all of you in case you are on […]

When I met Michelle at our wedding consultation, she mentioned that she’d like to have her engagement photos done this winter in the snow. I said absolutely. Then she told me that she and Steve like to go hiking and he had mentioned maybe Smokey Mountain. I’m thinking in my head “oh dear lord, I […]

Peggy chose back in February, 2016, to have a December wedding so that it would be easy for travel for everyone and likely to not run into bad weather. Whooops…there was a huge snow storm on Friday, December 16. Her bridesmaid and Aaron’s best man were stuck 5 hours away as were 20 of their […]

Who doesn’t love a wedding on the beach and on one of the most beautiful beaches in Nova Scotia…Ingonish. Here’s a story in photographs of the day Liam and Melanie said I Do.

What a beautiful couple and what a beautiful wedding. It’s not everyday that you get to photograph a ceremony inside the Fortress of Louisbourg.

I’ve known Kaitlyn for a while now and when she asked me to photograph her wedding, I was so happy and really honoured. After shooting their engagement, I knew That Jeremy & Kaitlyn were going to have a fun, crazy wedding and they didn’t let me down.

DJ and Kayla were game for anything on their engagement shoot so I said let’s head to Louisbourg. Both of them were so funny and we all had a great time taking photos. We even braved a construction zone, got wet feet, climbed barriers, and had a little blueberry mishap. On the way to Kennington […]

I was so excited when Erica asked me to be her wedding photographer. I knew she would be such a beautiful bride and I wasn’t mistaken. Their day started out hot and humid and thunder rolled in for the ceremony but it all went off without a hitch. Congratulations guys and I wish you many […]
